  In One Breath

  

  By jshawts, Ottawa, Canada

  You can never grow tired of loneliness Once you've realized that no one's coming, That your cries of help, all ignored Silenced by the whistling wind Hours seem like seconds, Life doesn't seem to pass so slowly. It gets easier once you acquaintance yourself With the vast plai...

  My Heart, the Vagabond

  

  By jshawts, Ottawa, Canada

  Sometimes I lose myself in this maze Wandering amongst fellow helpless souls Who have yet to achieve any love, nor praise For their hearts are nomads, freely roaming and filled with holes. This labyrinth is relentless, consuming Its victims with grief, and exiling any shred of hope The walls...

  2228 Miles

  

  By jshawts, Ottawa, Canada

  My heart and mind are in constant battle with one another Emotion versus rational is the omnipresent theme And I can't decide whether to cherish our memories, Or mourn the fact that that's all they will remain. The one whose face once filled my mind whenever I closed my eyes, Is now...

  By jshawts, Ottawa, Canada

  La caresse du soirée

  

  By jshawts, Ottawa, Canada

  Night is ever so lonesome For although I'd like to embrace the darkness with you We are diverged by an entire nation of separation And you are basking in the glorious sun, While the moon's soft light feebly attempts To fill the gap between our yearning hearts....

  The Brightening

  

  By jshawts, Ottawa, Canada

  Dawn replenishes my heart Always leaves me feeling hopeful For how could the beauty of daybreak Mask such an unfathomed sorrow? How could the splendour of the morning aurora Be so oblivious to those who bask below it? Often, I find myself wondering Whether this is but an intricate dream If...

  Jamie

  

  By jshawts, Ottawa, Canada

  Although I was but a passerby My heart can't help but cry If only you had realised To how many people you were idealised. If a hug could have changed your mind Then forever we would have stayed entwined And if a simple "hello" could have brightened your day I'd have sent...
