Won't you please just let me be
Please just leave me at my own peace

Won't you please just go away
When I say leave, I don't mean stay

When I push with all my might
Do not fight back, it is not right

When I stop and start to cry
Try not to look me in the eye

Do not try to fix my life
You were not the glue, but the knife

Say goodbye and let me go
Accepting all you do not know
If you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school.
The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool.
A crumb of cake would be a feast
And last you seven days at least,
A flea would be a frightening beast
If you were one inch tall.

If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door,
And it would take about a month to get down to the store.
A bit of fluff would be your bed,
You'd swing upon a spider's thread,
And wear a thimble on your head
If you were one inch tall.

You'd surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum.
You couldn't hug your mama, you'd just have to hug her thumb.
You'd run from people's feet in fright,
To move a pen would take all night,
(This poem took fourteen years to write--
'Cause I'm just one inch tall).
The sun
is teasing me

It peeks out
kisses my eager skin
then hides again

behind grumpy clouds
who like to
drink my soul

Commitment
is hard
to come by

Unnatural,
I suppose

I don't want
promises

*I just want you there

Let's write a haiku

Boredom engulfing my soul

That was easy no?
Here are my poetry lips..go ahead take a nibble
Seductive is the tongue that speaks this riddle
Brushing your cheek..becoming hypnotized
Captured by the Devilish look in your eyes
Bite me..kiss me..turn up my flame
Inspire..Ignite me..feel me in your brain
When I'm gone my words remain
Lust transformed to sustain
Fantasy poetry more lines from my mind
Emotional energy continues to climb
Bringing me back to those lips
Bodies pressed together as I grip your hips
Succulent is the taste of your soul
Tongues clash dancing out of control
Minds blast off through time and space
Energy transformed to no gender or race
Potent..******..Chemistry we got it
To much can be toxic..no way we can stop it..
Surrender to the waves of my flow
Chaotic like the ocean out of control
Feel the nature of this Beast..bring him to peace
Exotic is your Beauty causing any curse to cease
Reality..Fantasy.. we can do what we wish
Spiritual flames immerse our lips for this Poetry Kiss..

Unknown
I've taken a life
And it kills me inside
I still see her face in my mind
Those eyes

She's haunting my dreams
She won't leave me it seems
And she's pointing a finger at me
Blame me

I ask her to stay
But she's turning away
As the world around me turns to gray
She fades

Away

I can
like you ever
love you always
celebrate your strengths
adore your weaknesses
cherish your mind
respect your distance
accept your path
make you laugh
support your passions
watch you grow
be your friend

I can't
ever give back
the days and hours
you choose
to keep
p u s h i n g
me out of
your life.
Life is too short.
All the memories I have of you now-
Will eventually fade away.

I can feel them leaving my brain-
Little gaps have formed a bridge
between my dreams and waking life

It terrifies me that soon,
I won't remember what
your hands felt like
running down my spine

Or the way you held my hands
and pinned me down
Ribs touching, lungs
collapsing and expanding in unison

I want to remember
So I'll write you down in ink
and never forget the way
you made me feel

Your lips may have well been
sewn to mine
Interlocking for hours upon
hours
Long in to the night

The way your teeth would gnaw
at my neck
or how you'd turn me over-
and kiss me up and down
the lines of my back,
gently biting those little
places I disclosed of-
Slowly driving me insane

And I don't want to forget you

The way your eyes peered into mine
I could never quite tell what
was on your mind

No matter how many times I asked-
Why you looked at me that way

You responded with a kiss
and not an answer

And I guess that was
the answer to my long
winded question

You wanted nothing more
than the closeness
of our bodies colliding
and our hips guiding
one another on a beautiful journey

And your car was like a spaceship
We'd travel to uncharted planets
where time never mattered
nor did it exist

I want to remember all of this

A few years from now
I'll eventually forget
And I know you're not coming back

So slowly, I'm trying to accept that
But my heart and mind,
can't close the doors
on those wondrous times

I could go on and on and on....
As you can see, I shouldn't
prolong

My pen won't stop moving
Eventually-
All good and bad things
come to an end

And all we're left with
is a bitter taste
And no amount of mouthwash
Could erase the impression
left on my lips

I simply don't want to forget you...
And there is nothing I can do-
But keep you in my memory

A reminder to myself: I always write down the memories I have of a person that has parted from my life, whether it be death, or separation of the heart. Truthfully and honestly, we all grow old and some day we won't remember the little beautiful things that occurred in a short lived romance. Poetry is like an unorganized history book, classifying all that was and all that could have been.
Outside in the winter
Numbing my everything
To match my frozen heart
