She's Not Your Enemy
I see through glistening eyes the way you look at her
Like she’s an unleashed monster setting fire to your treasure
I hear through the creaks in my door, what you say to her
The words she is used to, tear my heart asunder
The daggers of hatred shooting from your eyes in this battue
The poisonous spite you spit molding her waxy heart ever since she saw you
She’s not your enemy, yet in her tolerance is an expanse of battleground you find
She’s not your enemy, yet you purge her of the sins that exist in your mind
This is shattering my heart and soul as I ask your anger, “Where are you from?”
She’s not your enemy, yet your treatment of her weighs on my peace when I do anything to becalm

a poem on deceit and love
In the moonlit glow of memories, where love once took its start,
A tale unfolds, of a fragile heart, torn apart.
He loved her with a passion, a flame that brightly burned,
Little did he know, betrayal's lessons would be learned.
But she danced in shadows, whispers of deceit,
He never thought her love was just a fleeting feat.
The echoes of promises, now shattered and torn,
A broken heart, wounded, battered, and worn.
Oh, the pain of a love gone astray,
In the ruins of trust, where emotions decay.
She played the cards of betrayal and lies,
Yet forgiveness lingers, as he wipes tears from his eyes.
Their love was a melody, harmonious and sweet,
But echoes of infidelity made the symphony retreat.
He believed in forever, a tale for two entwined,
Yet in the darkness, secrets thrived, intentions malign.
The warmth turned cold, as deceit took its toll,
In the ruins of love, where broken dreams stroll.
Her laughter, once music, now a bitter refrain,
A broken heart whispers, in the silence, the pain.
Oh, the pain of a love gone astray,
In the ruins of trust, where emotions decay.
She played the cards of betrayal and lies,
Yet forgiveness lingers, as he wipes tears from his eyes.
In the labyrinth of emotions, forgiveness takes its stand,
He searches for solace in the shifting desert sand.
The wounds run deep, like rivers that don't dry,
Yet forgiveness blooms, beneath the tear-stained sky.
As the sun sets on the chapter of deceit,
He contemplates forgiveness, a bittersweet feat.
For love, once unbreakable, now teeters on a ledge,
Yet forgiveness, a bridge, spanning over the edge.
She may have strayed in the labyrinth of lust,
But forgiveness, a beacon, rising from the dust.
In the echoes of heartache, redemption he'll find,
A broken heart's journey, to healing, realigned.
Oh, the pain of a love gone astray,
In the ruins of trust, where emotions decay.
She played the cards of betrayal and lies,
Yet forgiveness lingers, as he wipes tears from his eyes.
In the tapestry of forgiveness, threads of grace,
A love once broken finds a tender embrace.
For in the symphony of healing, a resilient art,
A broken heart finds solace, a brand new start.

Poetry of my heart
Where did it come from?
A side road to my roadway.
It started with conversations,
everything from hilarious to deep.
We got to know each other better.
We are holding back for true time.
Although, everyone is a stranger.
Aren't you a stranger? she questioned.
Use me to express what you feel,
lead me to an innocuous way, he said.
Building the unconditional support,
and wanting to stick together,
we developed the amiability.
Providing the guidance altogether,
we believed in glowing up together.
He trusted me heartily, and how not?
At least I have someone right? he queried.
I gave a silly grin and replied,
Why won't you? I am here.
I don't know for how long, but I am.

~ Letter to my Love ~ My love. This very morning I am stirred awake by the light of the rising sun, the Dawn, a golden cat, prowling and stalking, scattering the Night as though it were a flock of blackbirds. “Why did I let sleep conquer me?!” Are the words that topple from my lamenting lips, as then I wipe the bedtime glue from my eyes. But my conscience is as tough as it's cruel, what am I to do, when I am merely blood and bone, wrapped in a decaying skin sack?! For I am weak against the Sirens of Sleep, those purveyors of the irresistible vibrations, which sooth tired minds into the perils of slumber – they, promising rejuvenation for the beleaguered psyche. My love, I have become adverse to sleep, for reasons I think you will understand. For me, sleep is a two-headed monster, baying, always baying to drag me into a nonsensical world, where control is relinquished for capricious fancies. I fight it, with all that my feeble heart can muster, I fight it. In the first instance, a minute endured in that capricious world feels like a lifetime without gazing upon you. It is a wasted moment, a whistle in the wind, a song that voices never sing, a love forgotten in the annals of time. My life too precious to so flimsily squander. In the second instance, as a child trembles at the sinister shapes their eyes cut from the dark, I tremble at the thought of dreaming all my dreams, and leaving none to dream with you. Perhaps, a silly gesture, but what is sillier than a heart in love. Please, my love, I hope you understand why my voice is quiet and slow, and my eyes droop to almost closing. I shun sleep, and welcome the pain, as a writer welcomes the pain of emotion for their craft's perfection. ~ Nick Adigu Burke ~ #lovepoem #lovepoetry #loveletter #heartwarming #heartfeltpoetry #poetrycommunity #lovepoems #lovequotes #mylovepoetry #poeticlove #poeticprose #prosepoetry #NickAdigBurke #poetrybynickadiguburke #poetrytoloveby #fallinginlove #truelove #beautifulpoetry #iloveyoupoetry (at Holmfirth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSxCncCME2B/?utm_medium=tumblr

The First Wave
I close my eyes and dream of a place
The island on the other side of the calamitous ocean
My raft held together with scions
Will it fall apart at the hit of its first wave in my indevotion?
I close my eyes and dream of a face
One that must lend me sails to set
Instead it hammers on the cracks
Will it heave me back from the first wave with the remorse I beget?
I close my eyes and dream of a heart
The antidote to my exhaustion and anguish
But the heart is broken and cuts cracks into mine
I try to make it to the first wave sans it before I perish
