You are,
a ray of sunshine,
on the darkest days.

You are,
the rain that washes,
all the pain away.

You are,
my best friend,
and I'm proud to say...

I love you.

You are,
the bright sun,
during a sun shower.

You are,
the most beautiful,
in a bed of flowers.

You are,
the reason,
I spend endless hours...

dreaming of you.

I love you.

I either want to love you or die. No in-between.
I see, beauty in the stars,
even found beauty in old fashioned cars.
Beautiful, is the first day of spring,
and it's beautiful when church choirs sing.

When a baby is born,
when it learns to walk,
when it grows up,
and finally learns how to talk.

There's a lot of things in life,
that are beautiful,
but nothing is more beautiful than her.

And where ever you go,
I want you to always know.
You're beautiful to me,
even if you can't see it.

And I'll always love you,
you don't have the slightest clue.
You mean the world to me,
and you can't even see it.

Today I felt the pain,
I haven't felt in years.
And it was here to stay,
and it brought on the tears.

How could I not have seen,
the coming of the fall.
How could I not have seen,
that you would end it all.

What have I done wrong,
my dearest friend?
Can I save our love,
or is this the end?

Was my love not enough,
to keep you in my arms?
I know I ******* stuff up,
but I meant you no harm.

Please give me the chance,
I'll be all that I can.
I'll make my final stance,
and prove that I'm your man.

What have I done wrong,
my dearest friend?
Can I save our love,
or is this the end?

It was goodbye.
From beginning to end.
Whether we liked it,
or not.
It was a long goodbye,
several years,
stretched out over time,
so that in the end,
there was no pain.
Just memories.
It had its happy moments,
and its sad ones.
Most of those sad moments didn't occur till the end,
when in fact,
I knew it was over.
You see,
most goodbye's,
are short,
bitter,
and are usually full of unbridled rage.
We knew we didn't want that.
We wanted to be able to look back,
and say things ended,
on a good note.
Not an ugly one.
So we began saying goodbye from the beginning,
from the day we met,
we already knew it was over.
We knew someday,
it was gonna end.
One of us,
or maybe both of us,
wouldn't want to be with the other anymore.
Turns out,
it would be her who didn't want to be with me.
The day came,
the dreadful day,
where she said it,
goodbye.
I was okay,
or was I?
We had prepared for this,
for several years,
we built a tower,
a tower of love,
on happy memories.
But one word,
made me forget all of those memories.
Later that night,
I found my gun.
I sat in my room,
with my finger on the trigger,
for hours.
I never pulled that trigger.
I remembered,
the whole time I was with her,
I was saying goodbye.
We were saying goodbye.
We knew it was one big charade,
and that someday,
one of us wouldn't want to play anymore.
But like a fair sport,
the other would have to accept it,
and remember the fun they had playing their game.
So it was okay.
I was alright.
Who thought a goodbye,
could save your life.

Clash. Zap. Thunderclap.
Orbitals charged with electricity collide - feels like  crossing the streams
let's - smash atoms like Adam and Eve,
pierce fiercely with particles blown white hot from my accelerator
Insatiable
Like  trying to fill up a black hole, so i accelerate her
excite her, ignite her, my touch lights her on fire
combust.
a cloud of ecstasy like Co2  rises higher
I've got my eyes on your ions
take a picture it'll last longer?
snap a photo digitize her
particles turned pixels tilt their head skyward
transcendant enlightenment, released it inside her
E=mc^2 , i can please you at the speed of light
we just rewrote the big bang theory and this time we got it right
opposites attract and charged sparks fly
we might not touch but ion be ****** if we don't try
I'm a ****** intellectual
I love your body AND your mind.
This is definitley meant to be read aloud, in the style of rap and/or spoken word.

comments and critique much appreciated, this one has me quite enthralled, perhaps pun intended ;}

tonight your beauty brings me pain
smile not like hail(hell), like rain

but like the fourth under torrent
when your sister "as a joke"
did us a favor, locked the back door
pouring rain, we had to walk through
lingered as long as we could without suspicion
kissed more deeply than i ever could have imagined
let cold drops of liquid dreams roll down our skin
but we were warm entwined and right where we were supposed to be
all those moments when we had
realized that we wouldn't mind at all
if this clishe of romance would
transpire between friends became lovers
no one can take this from us
the day our outlines melted away
into nothing, in the rain
returned soaked and feigned
anger as best as i could
with a smile on my face
Our love has fallen into,
the fiery depths of hell,
and you can already tell,
our love is over,
it's up in flames.

There's no doubt that our love,
will always remain strong,
but somewhere we went wrong,
and now it's over,
our love is gone.

I saw you the other day,
sitting in the town square,
I felt there was something there,
but we ignored it,
and said goodbye.

How could we both walk away,
without a thing to say,
how could I walk away,
without saying,
I still love you.

Traveled across the world,
traveled to see my baby girl.
My one and only love,
sent down from the heavens above.

Our love was perfect,
nothing could hurt it.
So we traveled the world,
traveled with my baby girl.

Do you remember our love?
Do you remember the morning sun?
Do you remember Venice,
do you remember our final kiss?

Spent our lives together,
for what felt like forever.
But forever wasn't enough,
when the going got tough.

You gave up on me,.
in Venice, Italy.
Spent our lives together,
a wasted forever.

Do you remember our love?
Do you remember the morning sun?
Do you remember Venice,
do you remember our final kiss?

She's a freak,
She's quite meek,
And her cheeks,
Are divine.
Not sure,
If it's love,
But is that a crime?
To like,
A little crush,
On a girl so cute.
I barely know,
Much about her,
But I'd gladly,
Change that truth.
So let's sit,
On a couch,
And watch some movies.
Get to know each other better,
Or maybe you might,
Just slip me some roofies.
I guess that works too,
But if you go,
That route,
May I say,
No need,
To drug me,
I won't complain.
I want,
To be,
Awake,
For you.
Twisted love poem? Yes.

My mind has lost at the moment
When our eyes have met
Pretending nothing happened
But it’s not what it seemed
Obsession I can’t handle
But you’re the one who light my candle
You are my addiction
You are my direction
Sometimes I got the feeling that you’re looking over me
Was that just a dream or fantasy?
Silence is my enemy
When you’re in front of me
You make me feel the heaven’s way
But why can’t I say
I don’t want to lose you
But I don’t know what to do
I just have to find a way out
There has to be way that I could let it shout
I just have to look into your eye
Maybe it’s worth a try
Maybe those ears are willing to listen
To my heart that already beaten
To fall for you
Only for you
You're my imperfect harmony,
my never ending symphony.
Lost and insane,
we surrendered in vain,
to the game.
Love has no shame.

Lost and insane,
we surrendered in vain,
to the game.
Love has no shame.

Our love,
can never be broken.
Our love,
is like words unspoken.
And only gets stronger,
over time.

Our love,
cannot be outspoken.
Our love,
will forever be unbroken.
And will last until,
the end of time.

My heart is always open,
and is larger than all the oceans.
Lost and insane,
we surrendered in vain,
to the game.
Love has no shame.

Lost and insane,
we surrendered in vain,
to the game.
Love has no shame.

Our love,
can never be broken.
Our love,
is like words unspoken.
And only gets stronger,
over time.

Our love,
cannot be outspoken.
Our love,
will forever be unbroken.
And will last until,
the end of time.

I need,
you love,
to keep me from going completely insane.
I need,
your love,
it's the only thing that keeps the pain away.
I need,
you love,
it's the only thing that keeps my heart at bay.
I need,
help from above,
because this love is driving me insane.

Some one save me,
from going crazy.
Some one save me,
I'm going crazy.

Love's confusion, it's just an illusion.
Some one save me, from going crazy.
Love's confusion, it's all an illusion.
Some one save me, I'm going crazy.

The memory of you haunts me,
just like a ghost.
You were a parasite,
I was the host.

You ****** me dry,
of all my life,
and left me there to die.

You were my friend,
my love.
But I have had...

Enough with all the *******,
you put me through.
You give me no **** space,
no breathing room.

My mind's made up,
I've had enough,
with all your stuff,
we're through.

You were my friend,
my love.
But I have had,
enough.
You were my friend...

My world is fallin',
I am callin' you.
I realize I can't live,
without you.

So am I the parasite,
in this relationship,
who knows?

The memory of you haunts me,
just like a ghost.
I was the parasite,
you were the host.

I was wrong,
you were strong,
but I kept pushing away.

You were my friend,
my love.
But you have had,
enough.
