Try
Watch the small waves end
Against the shore are stones
Heaped against what was then
Once Haven has cracks
Splayed the parasites Burrough do
whisper, try..  once... Bye.

This ache starts in little pins,
just inside, barely opened
windows start, shouting
Two, tenor like,
barbs, spark in
Two forked punishments
Herald the rain
Drops pour from within
As the day is closed
Pillow and blankets
Sweet dark once
Pitch black then
Shadow missed life
Migraine. Again.
Wish this on nobody.  ***..

Lower... And still lower yet.  
Be it a paradise, or to the deeps
This is my vessel.  And she will carry me
To the deeps or across to the welcome
To the bottom or to the harbor once more
The Captn stays with his charge
Even as the waters tear them apart.

I read and I am so many
though honestly, only one.
I breathe and ache,
Your words make me feel.
To be found, O' if only
One of one and only.
I digress, as is best.
To take in, and witness
all manner of this condition.
In Love, as I am
Again and again and again
fallen as the heart I sent
represents how taken I am
In love with you through your
poetic postings.  You'll never know
who or how you have won
the heart of a man, that only writes
of the way the heart does just the opposite.

lua
let me be your girl
your world
and all the inbetween
ill be the the moon, the sun
the stars and the seas
ill be the rain, the snow
the hail, and the heat
i could tell you all i know
and all youll ever feel
ill be your crash course
the cause of your all-nighters
ill be your wake up call
and the whisper in your dreams
ill be everything i could ever be
ill be yours
i could be yours.

tell them to me again
One last
I will still
I will be present
Whisper so it's ours
We two
I need to
Fall once more into
The song spell
Your voice
I plead and confess
An oath
This will be the last
I saved a place  
to cradle
the best most missed
Cherished
Thoughts like honey
Of then
When I was
Desired and wanted
Please I will be
Quiet yes
I will be present
After this
Never again
So much living have I forgotten.  So many moments I was lost inwardly focused.  If someone would only tell me moments from another time I would listen and greedily hoard the memories.  Never forgetting all I've missed.

I am at first taken back,
By such an unexpected tact
Then oh almost as quickly
Far far more completely
Is my disregarding counter
Inside knowing I could never
Put one such as you through
The madness of my ways
As I know such toll it will exact

Now what does that say
About how I view myself?
What does that say
When I want to say yes anyway?
