A Life of Pain
You sit there crying inside...
But we can't see you.
You wait for us to hear your screams of despair,
But it's just not loud enough.
We couldn't see the signs till you were gone...
Now that we have lost you
every look, touch, or memory of you haunts us.
I see the cries for help.
I hear the screams of agony.
Why couldn't I before?
You are gone now,
maybe happier than before.
Suicide kills a piece of all of us...
everything takes a toll.
Today
Today I will capture
the bird of myself,
I will see my colored feathers...
my array.
I will image it;
is it your flourish...
instead of my own?
As I love you...
I will delight in each subtlety
embrace each feather...
the gorgeous and the ugly.
You, the most beautiful bird
I have ever known, you will show me
how to love these colors...
as I see them as my own.
Departing Friend
Keep my memories in your pocket
and my picture in your mind,
I'm leaving here forever...
to a place of another kind.
As the years will pass
And time will push you on,
to the very place
I will go when I am gone.
So, 'til that very moment
when our paths shall cross again,
Please accept my thanks
for always being there, my friend.
You Melt My Heart
When I think of love- you strike my mind;
Your tenderness and ever-saving strength.
When I consider the beauty of your eyes
You make my heart lift for endless joy.
You melt my heart's flimsy defenses
And destroy my hidden walls of fear.
As I rest in the safety of your arms
You purify me with kisses of love.
When your moistened lips met my yearning breath
And our souls began to align in haste
Your dazzling smile healed my wounded soul
Transforming my darkness into light.
You drew me close, embracing me tight.
And held my arms - you will never let go.
You led my hands to the center of your heart
As you let my words penetrate your heart
My love for You ........
I tried to hold you tight in my palm
But you seem to have slipped through my fingers.
I feel dead inside my heart
As your thought in my mind still lingers.
I feel all alone, reaching out to you
As you pretend to be oblivious of my presence.
I seek you out with all my heart
As you look back and mock... having a laugh.
Was it all my dream that you cared for me
And is it an illusion that you will be with me?
It may be only a madness that happened to me.
Is it simply that you just had to hurt me?
How foolish I have been in feeling this way;
You are gone now but, I guess, I also lost myself.
I sit back in silence and watch with tearful horror
As the dreams I had are turning into my nightmares.
Maybe I feel sorry I loved you so much,
Were the feelings wrong I expressed as such?
Reality
Embracing a cold 'what once was,'
Chasing an angelic phantom.
Searching for void's fit,
Finding ruins as foundation.
Trying to find 'self'
Scared of reality's hurtful touch.
Stuck in purgatory's vice,
Armaggedon prying on the outside.
How is life?
When death be the preferred company?
How is this love?
When echo answers echoes?
Where's the incentive?
For me... there be none.
An Evening Chill
The winter of our love has come,
Its chill has gripped the air.
Hearts grown cold with dreams undone,
Nevermore to care.
Darkness fills a heart once bright-
As love begins to dim;
Bringing sorrow on sleepless nights,
For things that might have been.
Wake Me In The Morning
Please wake me in the morning with a tender kiss.
Help me start my day off with a little bit of bliss.
Your feet were very silent as you walked across the floor,
and not a single noise was made when you softly closed the door.
You caught me sleeping deeply, completely unaware,
and you gently took and used your hand to brush away my hair.
A little smile did cross my lips, you wondered what I did dream.
It looked like I enjoyed it, or so it would seem.
You lay on the bed beside me, and you gazed upon my face,
and using just your fingertips, my lips you lightly traced.
I think the story may be true, that Prince Charming did exist,
for just like in the fairy tale, on my lips you placed a kiss.
What better way to greet the day, as dawn began to break,
than to have your lover, with a kiss, help you to awake.
Only You
There is a special place in my heart...
only you can see.
No-one else even knows it's there....
it's the tender side of me.
There is a special place in my life...
only you can fill.
Everytime I feel the heat blazing in my soul...
I know our love is real.
This is a special time in my life...
I share with only you.
The way we laugh and talk and care...
like only lovers do.
Wingless Flight
Was not this 'love' that came to me?
Did we not soar with careless sight?
Touch not the moon, did I with thee?
Could I have dreamt a wingless flight?
Doth fable spin a web attuned,
That I've been blind with 'yearn'?
'Tis mortal pain when a bosom's wound
is awakened to taste- 'spurn'.
I Want Nothing More Than YOU
I want to pour,
My love for you,
All over your body,
And into your soul.
I want to give,
You all I can.
My heart is for you,
My life's in your hands.
I want everyone,
to see that we're one.
Nothing can come between us.
We've become one soul.
Praying
The only time I ever prayed...
was for you.
I prayed for your happiness.
Even if it wouldn't be with me.
If making you happy made me sad...
then I was prepared to be sad for you...
Waking
There are times
beneath the moon,
in pale lit shadows,
that I feel your loss.
A sad and tender tug
like that of a child
at my hem,
crying to be held.
I wonder, then,
if I would hear
your voice, waking
from the trench of sorrow
I had buried it in.

Love Parts Ways
"Shall you run away with me?",
He asked her this, but she could not answer.
Dew tears stained cheeks
That he had loved to touch,
But Destiny bade them to stay--
These tears to stay,
Unbrushed from satin cheeks
Where once he had pressed satin kisses--
He watched them fall,
And waited.
In her amber silence she
Turned to observe the water--
The magnificent boats in their
Handsome harbor,
Where among the sparkling waves
The two of them had danced,
And he had wooed her.
"Will you come away with me?",
He asked, one time more--
He felt that now he would remain silent,
And he waited, along the shore.
Her silence enveloped them both,
And he wondered at betrayal.
Her hand lifted--
Soft, feminine fingers that had traced him,
Naked.
"I can't", she said, "and I won't."
And her hair turned to face him,
As she looked the other way.
He wondered again at betrayal.
"But, Love!", he said, thinking of the grand meaning.
"What of it?", she murmured, thinking of the same thing,
And he looked, hard,
Into her.
Her silence remained strong,
Stronger than her love for him,
Stronger than his own.
He felt his heart collapse.
"But, Love!", he bit out, bitterly.
She gave him no response, and
Her silence enraged him.
Finally she turned back to him,
And took his hand.
Into it she pressed a little golden key.
"Throw it overboard, when you go", she said,
And then moved to walk away.
"What is it?", he asked her back,
Tempted to toss it now--
And then she answered:
"My heart, I don't need it anymore."
Lonely Girls
IF DREAMS WERE GIVEN TO LONELY GIRLS
AND LONELY GIRL'S DREAMS CAME TRUE,
I'D FORCE MYSELF TO SLEEP EACH NIGHT,
SO I WOULD DREAM WITH YOU.
IF WISHES WERE GIVEN TO LONELY GIRLS
AND LONELY GIRL'S WISHES CAME TRUE,
I'D WISH TO BE YOUR WIFE,
SO I COULD SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU.
IF TEARS COULD WRITE LOVE SONGS,
BEFORE THOSE SONGS WERE THROUGH,
YOU WOULD KNOW JUST HOW I FEEL
AND HOW MUCH I CARE FOR YOU.
BUT DREAMS ARE JUST FOR DREAMERS,
AND WISHES DON'T ALWAYS COME TRUE,
ALTHOUGH MY TEARS CAN'T WRITE LOVE SONGS,
MY THOUGHTS ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU!
Our last kiss
I enjoyed our last kiss,
the sweet jelly taste was very overwhelming to me.
I remember it as if my life depended on it
which it surely does, you see.
The passion I need to feel, to live, to breath,
you can provide.
When you left that night
I felt I had died.
The grace of the embrace
flourished in our eyes;
the quick glance gave chance
to calm my lonely cries.
That night our souls did collide,
that night I surely tried,
to hold in all my emotions,
we were still so innocent and young.
A World Of You And Me
Condescending numerous others
You've mystified my mind
I find you curiously enticing
Like a bottle of the finest wine
Your personality is fascinating and inviting
Full of great character and wit
Your mannerisms are highly rated
Pleasant and courteously equipped
I would love to get to know you
Know more than just your name
The discovery of your persona
Is a task I'm willing to claim
Perhaps you aren't what you seem
And your decency is but a disguise
Only time will end this mystery
Until then, faith will be my guide
Permit me to explore the world of you
To find out if there could ever be
A world of spiritual fulfillment
In a world of you and me
When we are Together
Time flows as fast as a river when we are together,
Yet, all of life?s problems seem to vanish into the night air.
The pains you feel, I wish to ease when we are together,
But all I can do is hold you in my arms and hope they leave.
I feel your warm, tender touch when we are together.
I see your soft glowing eyes.
I hear your beautiful, melodic laughter when we are together.
I feel the warmth of your body.
Of all my wishes I may make in my lifetime,
I wish we never stop being... together
QUIET
Quiet
is what I yearn for
as the echos of you ring out in my mind
Quiet
for the thought of you
brings beats to my heart
so loud
it deafens my senses
Quiet
is what I yearn for
in the deepest corners of my soul
I cannot hide from the discord you
have brought to me
when you entered the realms of my world
QUIET
is what i yearn for
but what i yearn for most of all
is for you to hear... the noise.
Surprise
Surprise! The sun came up.
I wondered if it ever would.
Surprise! A laugh burst forth.
I doubted if I ever could.
Surprise, I've loved again.
I questioned if I ever should.
surprise- the dark's returned.
I wish it could be understood.
Do You Dream Of Me At Night?
When I dream,
When I walk.
When I laugh,
When I cry.
When I'm sad,
When I'm glad.
When I'm angry
or upset,
I think of you;
your sparkling eyes,
so blue and near.
Your passionate words,
They keep me here.
I feel as though,
nothing should be wrong
And then: at night
as I drift
as I sleep
as I dream
I think of you and pray...
may my dreams come true.
Do you dream?
Do you walk?
Do you laugh?
Do you cry?
When you're sad, ever glad
When you're angry or upset
...Do you think of me?
Not so perfect, not so right
Do you dream
of me...
At night?
