I sense the words askew,
in the recess of my soul.
It tends to lend some credence
if the ending is sublime...

Deeds recognized beyond you.
Does nothing leave its hole?
Develop something more than dance,
dessert my endless climb...

Ask only if you dare to view
a monster black as coal.
Address the thrill of holding hands,
and help me reach my prime...

Lust doesn’t mean a simple brew,
laid neatly in a bowl.
Life’s hugs are often happenstance,
left loving all the time...

In harmony we come as two;
I’m breathless from the toll.
It’s just another kissless trance
involved in a crime...

Scurrying thoughts without a clue;
succumbing from our stroll.
Shadowy dreams that will enhance;
some days are more sublime...

One of my most difficult poems...and most satisfying

Your mind attached
right now..
to things we used
to know
wrapped around the cortex
refuse to slip away...

The life we used to live
a distant thought before
has reemerged with vigor
dusting brains
for colored prints and more...

My mind connects
to thoughts
of memories’ inner space.
The reason for it all,
I used to wonder why..
it vanished with the days...

We held within our minds
the age of reason’s way.
Reminders of what used to be.
The life we used to live,
is all I know today.

Anatomically sound, befitting a king
swaying alertly in the waves, I sing.
Hearts, at sea, floundering and pounding
against the cavity of my chest, astounding.

V-Day arriving, and leaving without me
swimming with shellfish and sharks at sea.
Satisfying love’s unique quality,
and breathlessly waiting for me to be we.

Tortuously lying in the keel’s utter mist
waves exploding above, below and amidst.
contemplating all that I ever wished,
remembering when, at first we last kissed.

V-Day, a special enchanting display,
lovingly speeding, though slightly astray.
Wishing you love in a happiness way,
throughout a belated Valentine’s Day.

what a way to end a year
nothing in the way but cheer
but then a few... words of doubt
just to check my feelings out...

how could things become so wrong
left me loving here so long
those words of doubt were only me
learning how to be a we...

and now you’re gone, left for good
in my head... I thought you should
though my heart would disagree
and wish your eyes could really see...

the pain I suffer everyday
wishing you would come my way
holding hands and making love
God is watching from above...

walking on the rooted path
lying in our steamy bath
kissing lips that feel so fresh
In the room our bodies mesh...

My every thought... is of you
oneness turning into two
I cried this day about our fate
and pray dear lord it’s not too late...

She disappeared
     what seems like eons;
I miss her everyday.
     Carefree... flamboyant
      reckless and tortured.
She grasped for solitude.

She disappeared
     for who knows how long;
but time is running out.
     Each day grows shorter,
      and I’m no smarter.
I wait for her return.

She disappeared
     from body and soul;
for no apparent reason.
      She flew up...grew up
       and found her airway.
She left me in her wake.

She disappeared
      I wailed and puled;
hey wait, it’s me you flee.
       But the look of her pain
   and the shame in my heart
were really both the same.

She left
and disappeared from sight;
her name scrolled in the sand.
       She disappeared
    and won’t come home,
til carefree days are here.

To you I maybe just another boy
I might not be high in your eyes,
I'm just some other toy
To you I might be a monster who broke your heart,
Someone to file under "heart breakers",
Someone you shouldn't have trusted from the start
But to me
You'll always be my first love
The girl who kept me up all night,
The girl who made my heart flutter on sight
To me you'll always be the hidden princess in classes,
Playing with your hair and adjusting your glasses
To me your the girl who will forever have a place in my heart,
The girl who I trusted from the start
You had me shouting for joy
Dancing in my room at the end of the night
You had me blushing in class
Stuttering on my words, scared of your flight
To you
I might be a monster, and a heart breaker too
But if I could see you one last time I would say
I was lucky to meet you

Overwhelmed
the cigarette
of our pent-up passion
in your mouth
is the only light
in this dark place
the world
has forced us
into

as you slink down to me
somehow seeing
through shroud of black
your cigarette illuminates
a knowing smirk
upon the red lips
of your face

those lips tantalize me
making requests
I can’t hope to fulfill
and begging questions
I refuse to answer

I cannot see your eyes
but I know the future
they see

that cigarette burns in the black
teaching me the meaning of love

as you crawl forward,
awaiting the final pounce,
I know that your cigarette
will fall to the ground
and like our pent-up passion
it will turn the room to fire
and the world will soon
catch too

This father lost his way.
Along the journey
he forgot where he came from,
where he’s been,
where he’s going.

This father makes mistakes,
knows not which way to go,
which direction is home.
As he sits and wonders,
will his daughter ever know.

This father makes mistakes.
Alone in his thoughts,
and with his fears,
alone in his wake…
This father awaits
his daughter’s call
Reminiscence…the past
when all was fun,
and we were young.
This father loves his daughter.
And needs her love in turn.

This father makes mistakes,
and forgets when he was young

This father makes mistakes
and should say he’s sorry,
more than not..
You mean everything to me
and my life’s a void
when you’re away.

This father makes mistakes.
But the one mistake
he never made,
was the one
in having you.

i see your eyes
bright sparkle-flecks,
an illumination
a light
that would
ignite
the wee-small hour
plight
when my body
ached
my every sleeping hour
was a quake
of scattered
dreams
and memory schemes,
mixed up
and lost
in the tangle of an ache
that for some
amazing reason
could
only be soothed
by
you.

My love for life
redwindles
behind the doors of
knowledge.
Life’s prancing candle
kindles
before His sacred

if i could,
i would
write a poem or a song
about you every day,
place a flower in your hair,
say all the things i wish to say.

but,
i have nothing more than
empty hands
and hollow sighs,
yet my heart does sing
certain songs of you,
though most are kept hidden deep inside.

Music, books,
electronic things.
You make me smile,
and my happiness sing.

Your hugs so warm,
your eyes so bright.
On my bad days,
you tell me "Hunny, it's alright"

It feels like I've known you,
for what seems like forever.
You took a young girl,
and you continue to help her.

It scares me to think,
how close we have gotten.
In such a short time,
my unhappiness forgotten.

I don't know how you do,
what is it is you do to me.
But honey, please,
promise you won't leave.

It's been quite a while,
since I've had a friendship like this.
You're everything I dreamed of,
everything I missed.

I watch your eyes shine,
I hear your voice sing.
I see the clothes you wear,
and I admire your ring.

Everything about you,
intricate and amazing.
What I am when I'm with you,
there's never been such a thing.

I guess all I'm trying to say,
is I'm glad to have you there.
To hug me all the time,
I've found someone who cares. <3

The simple touch,
you arms on me.
A place like this,
I want to forever be.

We talked, we listened,
to each other's life story.
This new friendship,
unlike any before thee.

Your smile and dimples,
spread across your face.
You laughter and jokes,
make me never want to leave this place.

You walked me home,
straight to the door.
You held me close,
unlike before.

You leaned in close,
kissed my lips.
Your touch passionate,
hands on my hips.

"I just wanted to know,
what it would be like."
You told me as,
we ended the night.

I stood astonished,
as you left the scene.
Me emotions ran wild,
inside of me.

My eyes opened up,
I rolled over in bed.
Those last 4 stanzas,
were just in my head.

But all before that,
that lies in my heart.
When we're close together,
or farther apart.

And there's no other feeling,
like when you hold me tight.
My dear, that touch,
can get me through the night.

Your smile, your eyes,
our laughter and tears.
With you by my side,
I have no more fears...
