The vicious night prolongs its stay,
Denying tomorrow's light to fray.
My tears bear the sorrows of my heart,
yet they're suppress, and kept apart.

Mourning in the dark veil of despair,
Separation's mark, heavy to bear.
Chained by time's relentless might,
invisible shackles, hidden from sight.

Within time's cage, i find peace,
where grief and I, sorrow release.
They have learned to drown my deepest woes,
Now darkness hints at tomorrow's repose.

In the dance of sorrow and solace's art,
My laments find healing, a brand new start.
For even in darkness, there's a hint of light,
a promise of tomorrow, shining bright.

I was a footnote in her book
She was the title of mine
I wish she had stayed a while more
Maybe given me a sign
She is all my eyes let me see
Doesn't matter open or closed
I wanna write her more letters
With the sunflowers enclosed
But she asked me to go away
Asked me to break my own heart
Her words were my gospel
So I use my skin for art

When I see you…
It brings back all of these emotions of something I once knew.
In a time of a great Love….
A Love I merely touched, and had to let go of.
A Love many never get to experience; in this lifetime or two.
It’s rarity so deep, that only the stars knew the answers to.

If there truly are any.
Answers…to a Love like that.

But be as it Be, and let it Be as it Be.
And that I know that kind of Love is Real.
I Recognize it.
It’s Beauty and its pain.
They synchronize with one another.
bringing Light and darkness alike.

The yin and the yang.  

Symbolizing all of the things that we can not see.
#It’s when you breathe in that faith of light
#just falling in and out of us

Orphan ...

Every details ...
Of this evening ...
Misses you madly ...
As if I am an orphan ...
Alone ...
Me and my coffee ...
And my lips ...
Even ...
My pen ...
Because of your absence ...
The ink dried up in it ...
Even if i ...
embraced the whole world ...
I will remain an orphan ...
Because of your absence ...
And no one in this world ...
Fills my heart with happiness ...
Like you always do ...
Only you ...

That's why I am ...
Now ...
This evening ...
An orphan ...
Living in loneliness ...
And cold ...
Because of your absence ...
I am an Orphan ...

Charleston is charming
Wind, sun, water
Talk with my sons
Hope for her daughters

Life is indeed Absurd
Still I try to do my best
She and I, silent Thai
Her hair upon my chest

Florida has the Hurricanes
Seattle has the snow
Poems that endure
But I'll never know

Touches, gentle touches
Spanish lullabies
Susan Darlene Meek:
Dark hair, blue eyes.
