Veiled Sorrows | Gemelene Magalona

We were a paradox of time and space between these jaded mirrors
Where nostalgia bleeds with every tainted touch
Of blinded yearnings brought by the fading memory
I’ve buried in the graveyard of our yesterday’s soil

Where April summers blossomed only the agony
Of your living ghost where it haunts the dark promises
You have left upon my shivering lips.

I’m still lost in the sunshine of your warm smiles
As it fades out in the shadows of our dusky sunsets
Where fallen skies cascade these wistful eyes
Of my veiled sorrows weaving these midnight tears tonight.

Bright Eyes | Jenny Dowling

Watching as the gems sparkle in the sunlight, we sit there patiently waiting. We are seeing everything so clearly now as if for the first time. Those flashing lights so far away, we wonder why they won’t stay. For not all stars are meant to shine as bright, some follow you home at night. Yet as we follow we stop to think, glory be why can’t you see. So bright eyes stay, stay with me tonight.

The Good Ache | Judy Moskowitz - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

The Good Ache | Judy Moskowitz

Once a stand-in for love
When the real thing
Couldn’t make it in time
To soothe the bad ache
Numb the pain away
The good ache is the kind
You don’t medicate
A longing deep
Into the bones
From a kissed conversation
Connecting souls
Where music creates poems
Poems create themselves
Outstretched muscle
Limber thoughts
That ache me good
When you’re not near
