Your stolen kisses,
Gifted me such blisses,
Your ironclad touches,
Clutched me so feathery,
Your piercing blue eyes,
Enticed my body to tithes,
Your coursing black hairs,
A wood, lost flesh, no cares,
Your moisty, heated breaths,
Such mead, what ales to taste,
Your broad, booms, shoulders,
Let my sails out, into yonders,
Your mossy, low, peaty voice,
Laid me down without choice.

Silence. Just Silence.

I thought I would cope with your Absence.

Wrong. My heart yonders for only One.

You. I yearn for Only You.
Only You can see me through this Loneliness.

It's Hopeless, I'm wishing and crying just to hear your voice.

Don't Toy with me, I had no choice, but to go.

And yet, even though it was me who left, who pulled the Trigger on this chain of events, I'll still wait by the phone.

Why? Because if I don't, I'm all Alone.

Open your hearts
The Hudson River curtain is your endured soul
Voices a wait and behold
I visited a Poet’s Paradise
One thinks, and could be more than twice
Words alone but nothing but inspiration adding to the spice
I am your guide
Our journey is Governors Island, a place where Poets voices will preside
It’s dramatics and beyond breathing expectations will be the stride
It was the New York City Poetry Festival
Several voices being their own words
I will give you a sample of what I heard
My life seemed endless
Having no meaning I thought
Perhaps beyond my own intellect
But was I losing my mind above all
There was a message being the call
Be who you are and nobody else
I am that image and it surrounds self
Strive while you have time to be alive
Moments can be short
Yes negative things you must abort
Yet life has its wonders
Sometimes a wake up yond into Yonders
But its what one contributes to make life more meaningful
The ability to create
However, a time not being too late
I know I have fulfilled when I am invited in through the Heaven’s Gates
Well that was my own personal poem insertion that I just wanted to illustrate.

at times a teacher who waits and wanders
   now just a dad who prays and ponders
          loneliness yearns and yonders
                   wishing, fishing
                    for philofonder.

A tug from beneath the murky waters
Dare he succumb to his dreaded mortars - for again
They pound him – not
SUCH lovely respite amongst jaded yonders
IN MAGNIFICENT stance the ol’ man flounders
DELIGHT knows no bounds abound the flairs
‘TIS LIFE of light ‘round Heaven’s stairs,
Oh if willingly ‘tis be gone
But make no haste, our ages yawn
Cower amidst the dark, must May
For no dandelion turnst the grey skies gay
With wit and will no tides can turn,
Oh must thy heart heavenward yearn, - but
NOW starry dews tinker the vastness
ONCE vermillion glow’d farewell dimmed
GOLDEN pondered the mightiest minds
NOR ROYAL wave controlled such SPLENDOUR
Brimming with mirth split equal fair,
Thine goblet jewel-stud in empty glamour
Deep buried within the earthen cries
His heart pounds to the demon’s tries.

What ‘tis ink that makes a shell of a man?
What power hath it for no wit can quell?

On yesterday’s ships long gone, a memory,
Denounces his sincerity
If only he’d –
Run
If only his breath –
Away.

Who crept like rot through heaven’s door,
and stole the glow the moon once wore?
Who plucked the stars from velvet sky
left them bleeding, left them dry?

The silver cradle, cracked and gone,
no lull of light to lean upon.
The hush was thick, the dark was near,
no whisper far, no breath to hear.

The thief wore night like skin too tight,
and swallowed whole the edge of light.
They tore the seams of stitched-up flame,
and left the void without a name.

No song rose in midnights might, no gull took air nor mid nor flight,
just darkened ash where stars once sang and they left a empty pang.
A hush so loud it screamed through bone
a silence that devoured every tone.

Each shimmer, ripped from sky like thread,
each hymn of dusk now choked by the dead.
The frost clung hard to every vein,
no thaw, no sun, just gnawing pain.

No lark to stir the wounded sun,
no sparrow’s cry, no morning run.
Just echoes in a frost-bit field,
where once the warmth of wonder kneeled.

Who dared defile that sacred dome?
Who stripped the stars and fled their home?
No name, no footstep, no retreat
just wreckage left beneath their feet.

The world, a husk of breathless stone,
no glow, no grace, just gristle, bone.
The moon—unhooked, her bed grown cold,
her stories lost, her silence bold.

What worth this world, this wasted tomb?
Where shadows bloom and roses gloom.
Where joy once dared to dance with art
they tore the night, they stole my heart.

I curse their hands, their silent ****,
their artless theft, their frozen will.
They’ve burned the night, they’ve bled the skies,
and left me here with hollow eyes.

No songs remain, no light, no flame,
no clouds with thought, no breath, no name.
Just endless dark and hope’s last cry,
where dreams lay down their wings to die.

The thief has fled with heaven’s heat,
and left my soul in scorched defeat,
But still I stand with yonders stare,
Nothing left but darkness bare.

Thief of the night - a poem depression

It's a old poem that I thought I would share ! Unless you know what it feels like to be depressed you won't understand the meaning in the words .
