Old Times
please, my love, as a new year starts to dawn do think of all the times we shared, and do not think of the mistakes we made, and forget the pain and sadness; but choose to keep me in your mind, for I want to be more than a memory.

counting down the seconds as if I need an excuse to kiss you.

Sunset Sign
come watch the crimson sun descending now to stay returning yet to meet the earth from whom he strays to spend the night at rest her power his love has won for he could not resist the pull of her heartbeat and sinking low he pleads mournful for love he missed his brazen yellow hue fades slowly as they meet she holds the love he needs prefers his color best in humble muted shades orange, red, and...

NYC
Blocks and blocks of road stretch out before me and towering heaps of steel gaze down with not a blink as through their maze I wander on. Their steadfast watching unwaveringly serves but to beckon forth the sleep I’ve fought another corner, yet no sign I find to point me clearly towards the end I seek. The floods of people rushing, rushing on starts playing tricks upon my addled mind until...

Love Me
love me not for what you want me to be
love me not for what others may see
love me only because I make you happy love me only because we’re meant to be

Short of Breath
The air grows thin the higher that I go but I would never know for deep within I look above and towards the prize ahead looking to breathe instead your air of love.

Screen Door
He sits all day and stares at screens that let no gentle summer breeze blow through their frame e’en though he listens with hopes to hear that same familiar slap, slap, slap, as screen meets door the rhythmic tapping that he can’t forget. The smell of fresh cut grass and roses waft upon the air, and he can see the fields through the mesh as they’re whispering for more, of...

You Left, I Left...
I know you vowed that night you Left that you would not return to The life we shared; you said the Light that once had shone so bright On us had been extinguished, but For me I will never let my love for You grow dim or my fire go out.

Awakened by Love
This rhythmic pulsing in my breast betrays my cool attempt to act as one that lacks all feeling or emotion. For the blood that runs within my veins with strength displays my passion and my life in thin blue tracks and I am vain to think that I could fool the eyes of love that watch me act the part of one now ruined by the tender bud of love’s first kiss; for it serves but to fuel this fire...

Gotten
she’s confident, witty, and funny she’s always one step ahead of me she’s not afraid to throw some punches she’s got the guys chasing in bunches
she’s quick to smile but she’s slow to laugh she’s always ready to pay her half she’s been around and she’s been let down she’s not expecting a golden crown
she’s a perfect game, a...

Ocean Air
If the sky should turn to water
and the seas should turn to air
I’d swim across the galaxies
I’d breathe the ocean’s fare
And if you happen to float by
Riding on a stardust wave
I’d ask for you to stay a while
My drowning soul to save

Mistake
the past decisions hit him in the face, truth lies plainly before him, and that place is starting to sting, and starting to burn, everyone else knows that his choice to turn makes him admit his failures and his faults mistakes no longer trapped in his heart’s vaults.

Retrace
I’ve stripped away the false pretense of hope you wrote upon my heart the day you left. And though it took some scrubbing and some soap all trace of you is gone, and I’m bereft of all the memories that once we wrote with smiles and kisses on the walls of me; the songs we shared, I have erased each note, and I refuse to hum our melody. But as I start to draw my life anew I find I am...

Control
I want to tie you up wrap you up hold you up until you cannot move and your strong determination melts into soft resignation and your lips plead for mine and your eyes search for mine until you cry out my name and you long for my touch but I would have no need for ropes or chains or locks or keys I rather choose to use my words, to wrap you with emotion to trap you in a sentence to capture...

Your Presence
The tinsel hangs dejectedly like tears upon the dying tree; the lights once shining now hang low, the wooden floor lies bare below. Where presents once were stacked so high now only broken needles lie, but worse than all the empty space- the fact you left without a trace, and I am left without you here, the gift I wanted most this year.

Angel of My Dreams
Your warm brown eyes arrest my beating heart
As perfect peace o’erwhelms my clouded mind
A fleeting thought your beauty does impart
A love like yours I never thought to find
I am convinced you came from heav’n above
An angel sent to earth solely for me
I’m undeserving of your perfect love
Your grace displayed for all the world to see
But my poor soul this treasure cannot...

I knew this day would come though I wished it never would I know what I’ve become and I wish you understood
beneath this paper skin in anxious trepidation my heart beats deep within a quiet anticipation the tumor of my past has grown too large to ignore ‘til you saw it at last now you’re ready to explore
my love for you runs deep deeper than my history no secrets I will keep...

Too Busy
Everyone’s so busy going about their way so many things to do so few hours in a day but somewhere in the rush friendships start to suffer the tender bonds once shared daily become tougher ‘cause no one stops to think and no one stops to ask that’s why I keep it all locked up behind this mask

Counting
two hundred and forty-three times I have looked today dark black screen just stares at me no message to display
two hundred and forty-three seconds have been lost as I glanced impatiently with my fingers crossed
two hundred and forty-three breaths that I have held before I would set them free with my hope expelled
but I cannot stop right there I’ll continue on some more ‘til my hope...

The Game
You can’t catch me! You can’t catch me! She taunted as she ran- down the hall into her room shrieking with delight. I couldn’t help but chase her laughing at her fright searching ‘til I found her in the corner where she stood she giggled when she said, You can’t catch me (because she knew I could)

Cast My Wish
I cast my wish into the sky past the moon, past the stars and all and I can’t help but wonder why some bind their dreams to those that fall for if I wish it to come true I want it not to fall to me but soar beyond the deepest blue into a place I cannot see and there to seek a brighter light fly past the weak to find the best and so I wish with all my might not on the fallen, but the rest

Sticks and Stones
Through the frosted window he stares with broken eyes. The stone that she did throw within his heart now lies.
The windows to his soul are shattered in their pane. She cannot see the hole nor can she know the strain.
He watches as she goes and doesn’t stop to care; the thoughtless words she throws have left an empty stare.

Forgotten
Far away across the distance of A pitch-black moonless night my Days of laughter and joy have Ended and I am left alone - Destitute, devoid, defeated
My weary mind tries to Escape the slow progressive Marching of time and his Overpowering ability to Remove from me every Image, thought, and idea that Ever filled my heart with your Slowly slipping, saintly soul

Winter Wind
ripping reckless across the plaza the wind tears at her exposed face rushes over her reddened cheeks and forces her eyes to close with brutal arrogance ignores her pinched pink lips’ plea and turns the tear on her cheek to ice, but she notices not the cold winter wind, as her frozen heart continues on its lonely journey

Let You In
If I could find the nerve to share my heart with you I wonder what you’d do if I let you in ‘cause in my mind I know exactly what I’d say if I could have my way if I let you in
I’m always in control and I’m so scared to share I’m trusting that you care if I let you in
I know I don’t deserve the love that you can show I’ll open up my soul and...

Grade
If I had to grade my life, and take an honest look, how I’ve spent my days I’m sure could fill a book; with tales of the times I’ve chosen to take delight in the selfish bragging those times that I’m right instead of kind paying no mind to how it’s made the other person feel, leaving them betrayed, hurt, and bitter that they had ever befriended me; left with a scar...

Vow
I love you more than the heaven’s Will ever know, and though everlasting Love may seem fitting for an angel like You; I vow to show my love to you Until eternity would end, and then in The still, empty blackness, void of Stars, you will hear my whispered voice Fall upon your ear, I love you still.

Question 5
If you were a flower What would you be?
Would you pick something grand Something flashy? Or perhaps you would choose A subtler scent Not over-powering but Always present So many to choose from One thing is true No matter how special The flow’r for you
You’ll never choose the one I’d pick for me ‘cause I’d choose a cactus Sharp and prickly

Journey's End
We travel to the place where sky meets sea
a distant shore where few have ever been
where hope is more than just a memory
and we can share what’s been buried within
take my hand, let our hearts meld in the sun
the warm embrace will melt away our past
watch as our separate paths merge into one
we found the love we searched for at long last
but think no more of what we left behind...

Christmas Bell's Toll
The smell of pine
so common place this time of year
strong, woody, sweet
fills the air with Christmas cheer
smiling faces
and warm holiday greetings
families unite
in memorable meetings
and yet for me
the sickening scent is worse
brings memories
of the time spent in your hearse

Friend
Caught in troubled times, when the
Only hope I have grows dim and
My eyes begin to close in defeat, my
Passion to live grows cold until
A whispered word, a subtle
Nudge of a soft forgiving hand
In mine, the gentle touch that could
Only be given by the truest
Noblest of all relationships

My Wish
This special time of year when Christmas spirit fills every heart and I hear children’s tiny voices Wish for presents and hope For toys when they wake up; You are the only gift I want.

Sometimes
I read your words and can’t help but feel inadequate. The way you turn a phrase or paint a picture sometimes makes me shiver with excitement and my dreams manifest in the tingles that run down my spine I’m transported into your world your life, and I can’t help myself when I start to wonder, in a different life, a different place, could we have shared these stories?

At Day's End
I’m sitting somewhat patiently as I watch the setting sun The many colors that I see Have begun to fade to one; The cool night air that surrounds me brings me back from my daydream Reminds me where I need to be- I hurry now to redeem the time I’ve lost while sitting here while I waited for the night, across the dusky fields I peer my path lies veiled from the light the leaves cough...
