I'm not a hippie she non sequitured
as I asked her questions
I'm not a hippie
I'm not a hippie she vociferated
  
It's okay I'm not a hippie either
I overly averred
  
Then we talked and agreed
and got warm
and got wet
  
Two years later we met again
It's like that sometimes for the jet-setters
  
"Hi" she smiled
"Hi" I returned
  
Did you hear the new (hip hop/rap star) album
she inquired
I'm not a hip hopper I stated
"What?" she questioned
I'm not a hip hopper I re-replied

I used to flip through my pages
        Scanning
There were some interesting points
  Some high, some low, some kind of just sitting in-between after the good and the bad cancelled each other out, but mostly I
       Skimmed by,

         Until I met you,

                 You can't be summed up, there's too much to you, you're too rich, too deep
Too interesting to be confined to a few measly paragraphs and sped-read through

     You deserve attention, you deserve time,

       And the more I've gotten to know you, the more I realize you're the entire book, the entire story in beautiful, vivid detail.

                *I'm going to take my time getting to the end of you, and I dog-eared the page where you entered my heart, so that if I ever forget how it feels to fall for you, I can go back to the start

Shame on you
For making my heart bleed
and shredding my ego
Shame on you
For fleeing from one so true
And making me oh so blue
Shame on you
I’ve been but a shadow
All these besotted years
In the eerie corridor
Of your yawning indifference
Weeping and waning before your disdain
Shame on you
It was never my crown that I wore
When my whole being was all sore
You were my grieving destination
And my putrid dream with a caption
That said I was a loser
Parading in a flamboyant cruiser
Shame on you
For killing the room with dead flowers
Spraying it with bugs that fell like confetti
Just so you’d see me squirm and groan
In the teeming smell of bloodsuckers
Shame on you
I thought I had the right theme for a life
Of surfeit from the largess of the love i thought we had
Shame on you
For poisoning a hope so vivid and alive
You made me beg for bitter morsels from your nightmares
Then ‘took the gap’ to a place where you’d be the story
and I'd be the hapless man who chased a rotten dream
Shame on you
You gave love a bad name

I would paste my heart
with crazy glue if that would
help it stick to you

Jeannie
is off to the bus
Jeannie
waltzes to the bus
Ooh what a drag
the conductor says
Jeannie
the bus is full
Jeannie
has a heartbreak
it was
all for nothing
the perfume
the high heels
and
the walk on air

I downloaded
the new love app.
It just doesn't work
without you

I've come around
Through all these years
I've turned around
After all the tears
  
You said you loved me
Then you left me standing there
You said you loved me
Then you left me over here
  
I've come around
I've got the gears
To turn around
And wipe it clear
  
You ran around and tricked me
But, I didn't sneer
Now you're spreading lies about me
The truth is out now dear
  
I've turned around
I've made it clear
Those other clowns
They're not me dear
  
I've got it all together now
It is perfectly clear
There's no more choices for you now
There is only me, dear
  
I've turned around
For you my dear
I've turned around
For you my dear

I am not able to conduct a parade
I would not want you to catch a chill
in the icy cold winterland
Lets stay inside where it is cozy and warm

Let my warm up your heart with songs
old and new as I serenade you
I hope the songs sung for 45 minutes
take you to the Top Of The World
because Baby Baby, you mean so much to be

I hope you will get to know me better As Time Goes By
and know that I am with you through both your laughter and your tears
I hope you will learn it more as i get Close To You throughout the years
You are My Funny Valentine that is for sure maybe that is why I Can't Falling In Love With You more each and every day
After years of darkness now I See The Light as it is shinning in your eyes
If you Kiss Me in the moonlight it will be a truly Wonderful World.
I am singing for a Valentine's celebration in the Apartment building were I live and there will be a potluck afterwards. My guy friend heard me practicing and got an early Valentine's serenade. The songs I am singing their titles are woven throughout the poem. Here I share this poem, with all you Hello Poetry friends. I am not sure whether or not to share this with my friend who heard me sing? Is it too cheesy?
searching through the heavens
for you my blue eyed beauty
above these darkling shadows
that shroud and ring my heart
come to me in innocence
come to me unbound and true
and take my broken heart
unto your silken palms
and heal me

i never dream
or at least i never remember
but lately
i can't stop dreaming of you
your like a ghost in my head
haunting my dreams
i don't wanna wake up
because when i close my eyes
we are together
we are making love
we are making laughter
we are making dreams
but then i wake up
and you fly back to your reality
and i am left waking in the cold lonely truth
that is my own reality
a reality without you
a life where our eyes never meet
where our lips never press
where our bodies never touch
how can i go on living
without feeling every inch of you first
how can i go on knowing
nobody's there for you at your worst
i should be that somebody

how can you crave something so badly
that's never even touched your tongue..
your an inextinguishable addiction
a hopeless love affliction
and i wont stop wanting you
until every part of you
has met every part of me
if i must move land and sea
together we will be
