Now and Then

He was Loved

picking wild flowers
for his lovely lass
tears of happiness
in his eyes

a single teardrop
on a flower petal
I am loved
he thought, smiling

he felt her arms
around his waist
he choked in happiness
I'm loved.

*Love*


Walking Away

he watched her leave
suitcase in her hands
a slight smile reflected
in her eyes

not touching her
although she was so near
love wiped from her face
she was so detached

the sound of the car
diminished and then, silence
he stared into the distance
sorting out his confusions

words spoken promises broken
hearts shattered tears fallen
left him swimming in Alone
round and round...

*heartbreak*
