Wept this dream, my thoughts they fill
Take me from this weary place
Where darkness screams a painful chill
In torment of the mind does trace

I wait here thick of splintered thorn
My tears they fall upon the seed
In hopes the bloom of perfect dawn
Will light the way of what I need

My hands are sore of calloused fear
Scars my skin they carve a line
Neath bramble branch of broken cheer
A breast of this near mortal time

Your hand I long of feathered feel
So soft the touch, my heart does wane
These eyes, a love to then reveal
Within your arms, ignite the flame

Lift me for my body weak
Desires but the breath of you
To breathe within this soul I seek
Allowing dreams to mend the true

Or shall I die alone this eve
Beyond the moon of wicked glow
Lost of every captured dream
And nothing more I need to know
~~~~~
When there, atop, a shadowed form
With torch in hand of flickered fire
Eyes so wide to fend the storm
I reach for her which I desire

Upon my brow a single kiss
Of angel wings in silken twine
“Arise” a voice, melodic bliss
“I’ve come, my love, to make you mine”

The sun appears on eastern shore
As flowers bloom in petal’d faire
Of wishes I do cast once more
My fortune now to find you there

“Come, let’s dream, let’s dream as one”
You sing to me harmonic voice
“And fall in love till time is done”
My heart has only but one choice

We leave this place of fractured doubt
My hand in yours, my life the same
A feeling but the need to shout
Dear heavens, thank you once again

For I was lost, a wilted soul
Alone of this and every breath
Of counted stars to take their toll
Awaiting but my coming death

And now my world has filled the brim
With love I find so deep inside
My dream is you, has always been
No longer do I run and hide

So now we dream, we dream as one
Such beauty does my life exceed
Perfection to my sight has come
Sweet angel, all I’ll ever need

Hey babygirl
I just wanted to apologize for the other night
I was being a ****
You see I can't imagine a world without you,
But at the same time I can't stop you from following your dreams
Yeah I know we're just friends
Speaking of friends, there is something I been meaning to tell you
I been thinking about the future
What it will be like, ya know, that kind of stuff
I would really like for you to be in it
We've known each other for sometime now,
And I have had a lot of fun wasting my life with you
Well wasting isn't the right word for it
More along the lines of spending time with the most beautiful girl in the world
No haha, the most beautiful girl in the universe
Looking into your eyes is like seeing the earth from space
It's amazing would leave anyone speechless
I guess what I'm trying to say is...
Can I be your guy, and you my girl

Someone* my body does need
Simply to touch, hold and to kiss
So here's what I'm thinking
Love me now, before my mind is mist

Someone my poetry does need
Simply to spell, write and to rhyme
So here's what I'm thinking
Love me now, before my pen runs dry

Someone my heart does need
Simply to love, respect and to cherish
So here's what I'm thinking
Love me now, before my soul does perish

I can read in your eyes,
What your words would not say.
What I've seen brings me to heights,
My heart and soul so far away.
Needless to blink,
It is too late, I have guessed
Give up your paper, feathers
And ink
I know that, by the angels
You are blessed.

"I had it memorized" he said "from the very first day
And nothing could ever take that away"
The late night phone calls and sweet off key songs
Bring me the lyrics and I'll sing along
And you sang
"Dear, oh my dear
You don't know how much I feel for you
My heart oh it's breaking, it's breaking in two
I've always felt like this
Oh, can't you see
The person you're meant to love
Honey that's me"
Our duet resounds on the pages like so
Breaths becoming words-swinging to and fro
Your hands brushing mine and dominoes
Falling and breaking
Landing in a row
And you sang
"Dear, oh my dear
You don't know how much I feel for you
My heart oh it's breaking, it's breaking in two
I've always felt like this
Oh, can't you see
The person you're meant to love
Honey that's me"
The memories pass and the song's  in reverse
Wondering who could rewrite the verse
Oh talking was sweet but it feels even better
Oh my dear I rewrote this love letter:
Dear, oh my dear
I'm sorry that your heart was breaking
And there's nothing I could do to resolve the aching
I don't feel like you do
And my heart was breaking but he found the glue
Honey i'm not the one that you're meant to love
So breathe in the air and not my perfume
Bring a pencil and write your own tune
Love even more and love even better
Check your grammar and write a love letter

On this silent beach,
sunset emotions filter a bashful skyline

We watch…poetry written in the sand
slowly eclipsed by a drowsy tide,
sea foam whispers erasing words
of deepest love

Minute granules float somber
neath aquamarine sighs

You fill my arms
upon moistened shores,
velvet lips satisfy my thirst
as warm salt water tingles
gently frame our bodies,
drenched in the moment

My eyes immerse in this beauty
which saturates me

Two souls, a lone silhouette
casting waves of rhythmic
yearnings on a desolate strand,  
passion glistens
of moonbeam blushes
and forever promises
*are kept

Curse your ignorance
Curse all the years
You treated me with anger
And caused all these tears

Curse you for lying
And saying you loved me
Curse you for failing
And never letting me be

Curse you for trying
After all this time
Curse you for leaving
Dropping me on a dime

Curse you for hurting me
And making me hate you
Because all I ever wanted
Was for you to love me too...
