"Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them- if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry." -The Catcher in the Rye
My Feet are
perpetually *****
toes Sinking fast into
early afternoon mud
My Eyes are
impossibly blinded;
Sensitive from the
long winter imprisonment
My Skin is
eternally Kissed;
sweet rays of warmth
mingling on the surface
My Heart is
pounding fast;
Exhausted from
splashing through spring puddles

I've got this dull energy
Pulsing through my veins
Distracting me from Reality-
Making today less significant
Than a dream
Life whizzes by-
Blink an eye
And you might miss it
Expand your vision-
The world's a walking contradiction
So don't be so submissive
Take a risk
and kiss him!
And when he turns away?
Know you saved yourself
from another scumbag
Who's to say that all is truly fair
In this game of love, deceit and pain?
We all live the same way-
Killing to see and breathe another day

You're a puzzle to me-
My favorite mystery
I might never decipher
The methods you use
to make me swoon so easily
It's something, that's for sure
And I've got this feeling in my gut
That we've been fine-tuned
To the same frequency
You make my toes numb
Without so much as touching me
I hear your voice
Humming- in my head
When you're not even speaking
You are my poem-
An inspiration all your own;
A constant reminder
Of the way love can grow
One day, I'll be able to tell
You all of this in plain English...
But for now I'll
Allow the magic to occur
With feelings stirred and reconfirmed
Tonight it's all just history
But when I awaken in the morn'
You'll still be my favorite mystery

The sound of the Raindrop's
pitter-splat-plop
Slows down the world-
Nearly makes time stop.
And for the record, let me tell ya
How much I wish I had an umbrella right now
So I could take a walk in the rain
And leave my home upon Memory Lane.
I've become accustomed to seasonal change,
I've been feeling it in my bones-
For weeks and days it seems.
I've come to terms with knowing
Nothing ever stays the same

If the only place I'll ever touch you
Is in my slumber;
Then so be it
Just to imagine the lingering
Of your fingertips against my skin is
Too much to resist
Again
I want you,
When our destinies finally meet,
To fall deep
Into sin and let yourself be complete
With contradicting innocence
And overdue kisses-
Soft and sweet
You've done it again, gone
And swept me off my feet
My heart's been pounding in my head
And I'm sure now
That I'd be dead
Without you
It's you- the Earth under my feet
And the wind beneath my wings
It's you- and the way you make me think-
Freer than before- It's
minds like yours that
I adore and live for
If we were to embrace
In reality, I'd be sure to
Never leave traces
If that's what you wanted from me
I'd do anything to ensure
The absence of future fallacies
I speak my poetry
Aloud to you, in hopes
You'll hear it many miles away from here
Even though you're far from me
Feelings flow
With the same fluidity
We are connected by invisible strings
Because every time
I hear our song
I feel your heart
Skip a beat and sing along
That's why I've been waiting
Here, patiently longing
For the day that I can
Stare into your ocean blues, fingers laced
And say to all the non-believers;
It's true
Someone like me deserves someone like you
I'll forever remember all we've been through
The way you keep me on my feet-
Even when I don't want you to
And all the different ways
I've ever said I Love You

"I've been awake for a while now"
She said, smiling
"I just couldn't leave bed without you"
His eyes softened
He brushed the hair out of her face
But his touch lingered
Worked his way down
To the small of her back
He smiled now, too
"How can I blame you?"
So he pulled her in close
For one last moment
Of morning snuggle warmth

One day, I'll remember
The poetry I read when I was young
And how it inspired words
Of long ago tomorrows
And one day, I'll remember
The songs we sang in so many yesterdays
The way we stayed up all hours
Wasting time with silly rhymes like these
And I'll remember the words we spoke
Barely uttered over candle light
The way it gave great insight
On how we'd percieved turbulant times
And I'll remember the wisdom we gathered
How we saw patterns change and falter
And how we deciphered the mysteries
Buried beneath early morning sunrise
But most of all, I'll remember
The way you smiled behind silent eyes
Even as you'd lean on me-
Wiping easy tears from your cheeks
I'll always remember
Your carefree melodies
How your high notes
Always filled up hearts and souls
I mean it when I say I could never forget my friend
Because pieces of you will always be beside me
Engraved into my mind, carefully
Etched by time

A city made of poison
Couldn't keep her off her feet
She had desires to chase
And dreams to feed
A small town
With no way in and no way out
Couldn't keep her from drowning out
Roaring contempt
So she sought solace in the basslines
And wasted away a lonely night
Wishing on shooting stars
In the black expanse of country sky
*Star light, star bright
I wish I may, I wish I might
Break this curse
And find courage to risk the flight*
For years, it seemed
She'd wished so long
and asked herself
*What am I doing wrong?
Plainly, I do not belong
Because my soul has this fire
This passion burns brighter
Than any flame I've ever seen
I believe, I do believe...*
Got the power to change
But circumstance forced her stay
No money, no escape
But she knew that one day
Efforts would prevail
And knew how
The wind always seemed to say
*Darling, one day
I'll sweep you away because
I hear you pray, and it's not in vain
So wipe your tears and find your strength*
*Keep singing that song,
You're already gone, gone, gone
You've been drifting on harmony all along*

I've been feeling like you should be
Lying here in my bed with me
But you're not
And it nags at me, constantly
And knowing you would be
In less than a heart beat
Is driving me crazy
I miss you and need you
Quite obviously
You were meant for me
Our vision's just the same
When I close my eyes at night
I can picture our future
Together, as we're meant to be
Now the distance laughs at me
As my heart breaks
Longingly
And if fate was much kinder
We could experience harmony
Alive and intertwined
Breathing and sleeping so peacefully
We could drift away
Floating through outer space
So perfectly
Just you and me, babe.

The only place we'd ever met
was deep inside a dream.
So maybe it was fantasy
That kept me on my knees;
Praying, searching, wanting more
of you for me to feel
You hurt me once, and I can heal
Twice, and I give up
Three times ends the time of hurt
Mistakes can prove too much
And away you walked, so easily
Like I was never even here.
The times you left me lonely,
Were the times I longed to hold you near.
And knowing now, you aren't strong
I'd love to see your tears.
I'd love to get inside your empty head;
Erase the wasted years.
They say our lovers teach us
That we can learn from those mistakes
The only thing you ever taught
Is what its like to be replaced
But honey, you won't keep me low
It was only just a dream;
A figment of reality.
You were never what you seemed.
