Same love, different time
I still think of you,
though you're not around.
Those three simple words, stop
the hands of time.
I just want your hands in mine.
Close, gentle, kind.
A love so prosperous, a love
fine as the finest wines.
Sweet, loving, mine.
Hold me, for the rest of life.
All wrinkled and withered, a faint
smile.
You still give me the shivers.
When you're close to I.
I still want to feel, every breath,
every cry.
Just close your eyes, one time.
I'll kiss you gently and get lost
in rhymes. Me? A fool?
Not this time.
Forgive me love, we'll meet sometime.
Far away, in another life.
You'll know how to find me, just
remember my smile.
We've loved oh we've loved, but a
thousand times.
Same soul, different mold.
Love's repeated in riddles
and roads.
All depends which ones you roam.
The path always leads,
to hearth and home.

Can't think of a title
Insecurity; breeds inferiority.
Empty, cold and broken.
What's lacking now, forever hopeless.
Those eyes; encompass my soul.
A mirror is what you see.
My looking glass, it's so tempting.
It's what you'll never know that perplexes me.
How could you not? In a world so isolating.
What your future holds, terrifies me.

Doomed
Am I doomed?
Doomed to never find love.
I could spend a 100 years writing about it,
every day I walk this earth.
Am I so broken?
That love is confused
and the arrow of Eros has evaded me once more.
Will it ever find me?
I stopped looking long ago.
Afraid of what I might find,
that misery loves company.

Lunch
Why do you make me cry?
Hidden between bread and
four turkey slices.
Hold's a delight so wonderful,
I can't describe.
Some bitter, some sweet.
Oh they're sure a treat to eat.
Red, White, Vidalia sweet.
My tummy screams, heartburn,
it begins. Prilosec OTC, not again.
Those **** onions, they always win.

Little Annoyances
Twas the night, the night
I could not sleep, through
thy gentle eye, my iris's
would peek, and sing
a lovely song, that puts me to sleep.
A melody so charming, I think
It's time I dream, of all those
sheep, and they dance about
my head;  98..97..96....almost to bed.
Those persnickety little voices,  just wont
hush up, it seems I can't find
the mute button.
Just my luck

Words that rhyme with 'days'
My heart's ablaze
I'm so amazed
cluttered in clichés
in a daze
I'm dismayed
too many long driveways
Life's fortes
as we graze
upon the gaze
in a haze of haze
trapped inside this maze
our voices phase
into the next of days
Oh did we raise
with utter rephrase
glancing sideways
into stairways
how I hate your ways
as much as I hate causeways
too much decay
along the edgeways
inside the hallways
roadways
screenplays
my heart strays
on into Sundays
and Tuesdays
I hate the weekdays
they're gateways
into other days.

Pardon this poem for not making much sense, practicing wordplay. I chose a particular word, such as the one used here, "days", and use any word that rhymes hereafter. You can choose to continue until you can rhyme no more, or add in another word and keep it rolling. Like I said, it's only for practice. I highly recommend using this website http://www.rhymer.com/index.html when you do these exercises.

Old days
Here in these meadows we lay,
beneath those orange crush flavored rays.
We sip our life away, through
these straw scattered days.
I cannot play this game, searching
the clouds for a picturesque
painting, we gaze.
All the while not knowing
what terror did reign,
beyond our backyards
and front porches, those days
were much simpler, in so many ways.
Not a wish could take me back, but
I really do think, that I'm okay with that.

Untitled.
Love like a barren field
Trapped beneath these thorns revealed.
the pitter!  the patter!
of life's day matters.
Our love fueled embers
burned fast as night's grand
light show, soon began.
You take and you take
But I cannot, will not cry!
Clothes torn and tattered, like rust
gently blanketing the currents in your eyes.
Viciously swaying
back
and
fourth
searching for premise.
Oh but they shine!
As thick the sunny rays.
I once thought our love,
filled out those empty days.
Lustful as it was, you
were the one I thought would stay.
This clock wound tight,
ticks backwards
as hour upon hour
turns to night.
This madness
Swells inside my chest.
Won't you just take it!
Just take it and rest!

Love never fades
I see more than you know
As well, I see what you fail to show.
Those hidden in discrepancies
So blatant, you glow.
With lies, hidden beyond promising eyes.
What you see and what I see,
are parts of two different worlds.
A different half to another whole.
You only see what you want to see.
And trust me, It shows.
I can't begin to tell you,
how much you don't know.
I'll bet you didn't know,
I still have all those notes you wrote.
Way back then,
before cell phones were considered "in".
What seems like a lifetime ago
and although you haven't seen me in years,
I still want you to know.
That I always did love you,
regardless of her.
And even though,
none of us did win.
here in then end.
And with each passing day,
I can still feel your breath upon my skin.
like a blowing breeze against my whims.
Never quite touching me.
A gentle brush,
sweeping past my lips.
And in that moment
you cease to exist.
But all I really want,
is your lips upon my lips.
For the rest of my life,
just one lasting kiss.
That erases the bad, the ugly, the pain.
I really can't explain,
why you still make me feel this way.
So many years have passed
It makes absolutely no sense.
I thought time would fix, fix all of this.
But I'll never forget,
It's you that I'll always miss.

Unspoken doubt
I wish I could tell you
I wish I could say
I don't want you
any other way
I'm glad we met
For now
Just friends.
Those words
you utter again
I swear I heard you say it
For a slight second
You didn't stop yourself
But you probably regret it
I know you said it
I know you did
In that brief little moment
I heard it part from your lips
You can't take it back
Did you mean it?
I really hope you did
Just sitting here now
My limbs go limp
My hearts racing inside my chest
****** where's my bullet proof vest?
My heart can't take it anymore
I feel sick to my stomach
and so much more
I guess I can't really say
How love is suppose to feel
I've had many lovers
But none of them real
Not until you came along
and showed me how to feel again.
Now I just want to breathe again
I'm a fisherman without a reel
I'll starve you know, real soon here.
I can't just stand here waiting
for you to show me how you feel
Well I guess I just got my answer
Now and here.
In the middle of this poem, how sincere.
It's funny how life throws you sticks and stones.
You can break and you can break my bones
But my heart will remain open.
Sometimes it may get broken
But I'll remain hopeful.

searching
We all search to find
an answer
In this cluttered world
we call life.

Not all is forgiven
and some end in despise
But don't you think it's over
and remember the wise

An elderly women
once gave me
some helpful advice
You know what she told me?
To take back control
of my life.

Nobody makes the right decisions
in the beginning of time
Those mistakes lead us
to an inevitable climb

Always remember
life gives and life takes
sometimes leaving us blind
to the simplest of problems
we spend oh so much time

I learned a lesson today
be patient with life
It doesn't always give you
what you'd like

But it will surprise you
every time you shut your eyes
Welcoming you to a world
blanketed in disguise

A place only capable
Inside of our minds

Hold fast to dreams
Cause we'll forget in time

I wish you knew
I'm always waiting
forever here
and I can feel you
I can feel it
and it hurt's
my heart breaks
I don't know what to do
and I don't know what to say
I want you so badly
but I'm afraid you'll run away
I feel like nothing
nothing that I say
Will ever go my way
I'm screaming for you
and no call in return
I can still feel you there
Your breath against my ear
and it hurts
it hurts to know you'll win
Maybe one day
I won't feel you anymore
and maybe one day
I won't be in so much pain
And maybe someday
You'll really know
But not today
'Cause I don't want you to run away
Maybe I'll always be  here waiting
and maybe you'll never know
If this love could have grown
But I can still feel
Your hand upon my chest
as my heart
flutters and frets
and I don't want to forget
I don't want to forget
Your lips against my neck
And I can still see
that nervous smile
when you kissed me
for the first time
I thought my heart
would leap from my chest
And I don't want to forget
I don't want to forget

Venting
I think about you all the time
I think of you always
I can't get you out of my head
Would you politely excuse yourself?
Do me a favor and stop
I can't do this
I can't not be with you
I can't not hold you
I could kiss you forever
if you'd let me
and I don't why
I just wish you would open your eyes
but who am I kidding ?
You'll always be blind
Why you?
Why me?
Why can't we be?
My heart is breaking
and I need you
I need you here always
Always next to me
Never leave me
Just don't walk away again
I don't think I could bear to watch
My heart is screaming for you
and I think it lost its voice
Months and months ago
From the day we met
I knew I wanted to be yours
and I don't think I can do this
Anymore..

Battle
The never ending battle
Between good and evil
Whom will prevail?

In the eyes of the hopeless
Holds and endless rage
For eternity
our minds trapped inside this cage

This answer you seek
a beautiful glass box
and In it carries a key
Oh could it be,
but the key of destiny?

Thousands of years
We've tried to find
A lost secret
That forever binds
Man to mystery
We've been colored blind

A mere mask
will uncover thine
Beyond those grand trees
Hides a path so wide
One man alone could never ride

That precious word we call time
Doesn't exist on this climb
A fight for morality
Our battle for the like minds

Many a tears we've reaped  
To no avail
The truth we are here to seek

Oh world, you are so beautiful
So beautiful the world you are
Forever amazed by your sweet company

Dance against your whims
Your whims you dance against

The lost city
The lost city
hidden in the sea
Once a bustling empire
so devastating
As the salty waters
engulf on thee
Masked ships
deteriorating statues
A place so desolate
only gills can reach
Breathtaking
The sites you would see
in this lost city
hidden under the sea
Patiently waiting
to uncover thee
Past lives
Have we forgotten thee?
In it you'll find
buried in the sand
A fish's playground
was once so grand
Timeless moments
Bottled and shipwrecked
to an ocean so lonely
it can't be wept
Thousands of years
and this lost city screams
Unveil me
For I've been patient
You will see
So graciously
it pleas
come find me

Mystery
What will we find?
In this tangled web we call life
Too many secrets to hold
Endless questions
Answers bestowed
Too many words have been said
In them
We weaved this confusing web
Unable to think on our own
We follow a path
That leads us to unknowns
It begs some questions
Are we really alone?
Don't speak
Just listen;
and you'll hear
all the answers
will soon be clear.

Only the young men know
As the story goes
Only the young men know
These secrets that follow thee
This deceit that reckons thee
A forbidden passion
Reserved in rations
These secrets beckon she

For all the ships
In all the seas
Only the young men know
The dreams she used to
dream
So it seems
You deny her screams
That ever longing need

Only the young men know
The story that is told
She once had a lover
Then she carried four other
If only did you know?
That her love soon bode

Only the young men know
These secrets that heed thee
These secrets that follow thee
Into the deepest of trees
A hurt, so threatening

Only the young men know
What her future holds
And so, she must know
How much promise it hold's
If only could she learn

Lost In the mist of the night
She soon earns her light
Shinning so bright
No longer afraid
of what lurks in the night

And as the story goes
Only the young men know
These secrets that live in thee

Stray
Where has love gone?
Into sunset, through dawn
to oceans astray, albeit
just one more day

To the ends of the earth
I shall run

out into the vast galaxies beyond
just one more day
I’ll wonder away
into your arms

Nightmares
I had a dream last night
A terrible one at that
I was pulled this way and that
Pulled your way and back
Then shot nine times
Murdered in rage

I can’t quite explain
These feelings I claim
But one thing led to another
No longer were you my lover

Trapped deep within my mind
Nowhere to run
Not a place to hide
I try and escape this pain
I just can’t explain

Terror trembles through me
Every blood vessel; every vein
Someone help me
I can’t escape

The walls are closing in
I'm falling down
You uttered those words again
So hard so cold

There’s no way out
Please hear me, please help
There’s no way out

Tears dancing
Frolicking about

What seemed so gentle
A terrible monster was let out
into the dark of the night
I'm afraid I'll never get out

Lovers quarrel
Months of anticipation
thousands of minutes waiting
only seconds ticking on the clock
Speckles of light
shine from your eyes
as you come closer
your lips touch mine
so gentle and sweet
passion turns to hunger
and your touch makes me quiver
distant memories of butterflies
enter my mind
dazed and confused
our bodies entwine
into a sweet symphony
of sweat and desire
your body atop mine
moves so graciously about
your hands so smooth and strong
time seems to move all wrong
protected like a wall
you grasp me tight
never did we wish to end this night
a kiss goodbye and off you went
taking a piece of me with you forever to keep
I long to feel your touch
night after night
but you and me
cannot be
we're a million years too late
and time is not the same as fate
we were destined to meet
but this love can never be

Who are you?
Blissful moments
are so few and so rare

We seem to forget
what’s really out there

Not taking a moment
to stop and wonder

Can we really say we never bothered?

So many days
and so many nights
Leave me to ponder

Who are you to say
There are no others?

How arrogant of we
to think
we’re the only
intelligent beings

And

Who are we to say
We are truly free?
They claim
some things in life can never be

So how dare you say
When and how we pray?
And what gives you the right
To end so many lives?

You’re not the keeper of time
You don’t get to choose
when and how we die

But that’s okay
You go ahead
and live your life
Trapped in oblivion
Failing to see the other side

And that’s alright
We can accept our strife
We’ll keep our dignity
and remain up right

When all falls into turmoil
We’ll have our family
and
We’ll have our morals

But when our beautiful world
comes crashing down
We’ll all stop and think
Who's fault is it now?

Remember
Nature knows no bounds

And with each passing day
Death makes it rounds

Someday soon
You'll be buried in the ground
And all that will remain
Is your little plaque
or your statue standing tall

So when you really think about it
You've done absolutely nothing,
nothing at all

Illusion
Oh don’t you stare
At that raven black hair

The twinkle in your eyes
Reaps of its own demise

That glimmer
Is a faint smile

Hiding behind
Hindered lies

You can’t seem to find
The hope that’s buried inside
The faith
That keeps you alive

You try and you try
Hesitation
It dies

But you can’t seem to face
That one day soon
You too will be a waste

Burning
Fire by night
Ice by day

Seductress

In each and every way

So alluring
I wish she would stay

Oh doesn't her scent, drive you insane

She wanders and strays
Through the darkest of days
She fumbles and sways
Trying to find her way

A heart so broken
Beyond decay

So many lovers have slipped away
Should she leave?
Or should she stay?

Passion rages inside

Oh does she try to find
A heart so gentle
A heart so kind

So close to losing her mind

She sees the pieces begin to fall,
so elegantly into place

And in that moment
She's finally found her way

Wherever you go

Where your heart went
I do not know
When my eyes were wet with tears
You were there to wipe away my fears
Nothing can compare to the love we shared
This love blossomed
Into the prettiest a rose
And died the sharpest of thorns

Where you went
I’ll never really know
You were the half
That made me whole
My deepest sorrows
For you will only know
Time will only show
If I’ll be rid of this
Nothing can compare to the love that we shared

So beautifully a violin

misplaced love
Reminiscing about you
Oh the things that we used to do
I will never forget
So brief the time’s we shared
But nothing was more beautiful
Nor did any moment that followed
Feel as right as when I was in your arms
Two years have passed
since I've felt your embrace
I can still remember
the way that you taste
So vividly a picture
Forever lost in my mind
I will never forget
How we felt when we traced
Every outline of every shape
we had ever graced
Such magical moments
Our bodies so perfectly entwined
How remorseful of me
That ever aching thought
that “we” could ever be
It was selfish of me to think
You would actually choose me
I really hope your life is now filled with joy
No matter how far you are
or wherever you go
You’ll always be dear to my heart
My only hope is that you haven’t
forgotten what we were.

Unspoken misery
At night I sit and ponder
It leaves my mind only to wander
I miss you, how I miss you so
I don’t know where you went
Or where you’ve roamed
These days just don’t seem as bright
Without you by my side
Deep down I’m crying, dying
I miss you oh how I miss that smile
Time and space exceeds this place
Bless your troubled soul
I’m with you wherever you go
If you’re out there
I hope you can hear me
As the day’s fade on
Don’t worry
I won’t forget our wrongs
I'll always remember our rights
I won’t forget those alcohol-induced nights
Forever I'll remember the laughs we shared
I miss you, oh how I miss you so
How I wish I could make things right
I’m so sorry about that night
You never even knew
What it is you had coming to you
Your heart slowly stopped
And so graciously you went
I think a part of me died
When you left us here that night
I’m so sorry I couldn’t help you
I’m so sorry I couldn’t fix your strife
The world was just too much
For you to face
Each and every day
Oh how I wish I could see you
Just one last time
Always at odds
You couldn't handle all your flaws
Can you hear me? can you hear my calls?
I wish you didn’t have to go
So many things you've missed
Numerous memories I'll never know
We didn't get to celebrate
I'm finally an adult
I can order a drink and toast my love to you
I just know you'll be so proud
When you see me in my cap and gown
Don't you worry dear
You have nothing to fear
I hope you see Jerry and Jim
Both smirking with a devious grin
I miss you, oh how I miss you so
I'll keep you locked within my heart
Until the day I part

In loving memory of my wonderful cousin Josh

Remember me
The days seem too short
The nights much too long
All those nights I cried,
only just to rest my eyes
Oh don’t you weep
For now my soul can truly sleep
Remember me, just remember me

Basking in the summer rays
Wasting away those lustful days
Remember our songs
Those lovely songs
We’d sing together all night long
Remember me, remember our bond

It's been quite some time now
Since I've seen that smile
Brighten up those eyes
'Cause I'm always here but never there
Just a whisper
and I'll appear
Remember me
Just simply me

All those yesterdays
and
Tomorrows never to be
Yes, that clock
That clock continues to ring
and a dream never dream t
is a dream best kept,
hidden deep inside
Time oh pesky time
Don't you always seem to slip by
Remember me, remember my life

Gaze away Oh beautiful star
How I wish you weren't so far
You must not seek
what it is that's blinding thee
That trickle of light
You see
It's slightly out of reach
Won't you just remember me?

Love's demise (2011)
Once a lover, once a friend
I don’t know why I love you
Or when this began.
But, every time I look into your eyes
I try to hold back my painful sighs
I tried to speak to your heart and
Quickly learned our demise
I know you’re scared, I am too.

You needn't be afraid
Maybe it’s too late, to express how I feel
It would be a lie, if you said this wasn't real.
The days and nights we spent were clear.
They were filled with love, and filled with fear.
And now I must apologize to you dear
I Left without a word, nor a trace
I’m so sorry you can’t find me in this place
I’ve been lost far too long
For you to sing me your song

Tread on
Death is but the beginning
of our never ending lives.

Fear not you sweet soul
We all live but a thousand times.

Death is insidious
Death is wise
But Death,
death is not kind.

We all face our death
before our demise.

Each and every day we swallow our pride,
we all die a little inside.

Yet

Do not mistake death
for end of life.
For its not but

Never
Sleep oh Sleep
Take me away
Trazadone dreams
littered in dismay
I'm frightened
I'm trying to run away
My feet won't move
please oh please
Take me away
Vicious thoughts dance about
I scream, I shout
trapped
I'll never get out

Far away love
Her hair, it flows everywhere.
Oh how he longs,
to caress her.
Sweet symphonic booms
Waves of emotion
Spread like disease
Please oh please
Do you hear him?

Can you hear love's screams?
Dancing among-st the wind
Frolicking about
Can you hear him?
Can you hear him shout?

Simple
I've been chasing something that cannot be found.
I've been searching for something that's never been there
I've been waiting for someone, who's already gone
I've been dying to meet you for some time
I've been holding on for simply too long

Oceans away

Oh my heart strays

Into the depths of the deepest blue seas

My mind wanders into the vast galaxies beyond

I ponder, what love is.

Take me Love, Take me

Please Love, Don't break me

Understand I'm always here, but never there.

Searching, ever searching for that one special love

Share with me your mind your body and your soul

I'll feed our love like fire

Forever burning in my heart

Love; is a journey

Ever surprising us

Our hearts forever entwined

Whole and one.

Nothing more Nothing less
Oh time, what are you but a rhyme.
We all seek to find.

Silent Heart
He looks from afar
ever searching her face
He can't find her anywhere
in this crowded place

Forever he'll wait
longing to feel her embrace
So cold a shoulder
So broken a tune

Will he ever know?
He's too blind to see
her ever aching need
doesn't belong to thee

She's already spoken for
to one of another
I don't think he knows
She carries a lover

He silently waits
Slowly
She dissipates
