I want to go to coffee shops with you
See the world from your point of view
Watch the ocean waves break and crash
Run through the rain as the thunder cracks
I want to sing with you in the morning light
Hear you whisper between us in the night
Stand atop a mountain and take in the view
I want to go to coffee shops with you

My mind has run off on an adventure
And left me far behind

She quietly sits,
Evaluating the words she
Let escape her lips.
Fighting with the anger,
Igniting her naked
Soul; being her only danger.
Her words are so devastating

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, clean up your golden hair,
For in the way is thy golden stair.
I work and I clean and I just want a rest,
Maybe a hair cut would be for the best.
A small amount, a trim and a snip,
Please my dear, I constantly trip.
For your locks are beautiful and golden and fair,
Even with a cut, still your beauty no one can compare.

Lonely little elven girl, sitting in her yew tree seat,
Around fair lips your words do curl, in a way that's pretty and neat.
You dance and prance and shine so bright.
In beautiful circles you do twirl, you dance to your own heartbeat,
Silently you jump and whirl, the swift ease of your bare-feet.
You are the most brilliant star at night.

Traveling little mermaid, on your way to find your love,
Your heart has been remade, as you gaze at the stars above.
Swim as far as you can with daylight.
On your shoulders your hair does cascade, long and of
The softest strands it is made, more gentle than a dove.
Lay your head to rest in the moonlight.

Peaceful fair young princess, your prince will surely wait,
On your heart is a deepness, a light and heavy weight.
Close your eyes but not your sight.
The morning air holds crispness, as you silently sneak out the gate,
Run because you feel the nearness, leap in the arms of your soul-mate.
Hold your love and hold him tight.

Quite silent dreaming one, don't lose the things you admire,
Always let the imagination run, and with your heart conspire.
Let your dreams take over tonight.
Speak aloud any question, and let the answers transpire,
Inner depths have been awoken, you darling precious sapphire.
Fall in love under starlight.

A kiss from red wine
On my red lips
Is a little sweeter
When my heart
Is falling to bits

The constant mental banter
    Back and forth yes or no
        Do I disappoint my love
            For a moment of instant gratification?

            Do I throw away recovery
        Three solid months
    Itchy skin and hateful thoughts
For a moment of instant gratification?

                                                               ­                                                         And I'm so full of regret
                                                                ­                                                     Because it wasn't worth it
                                                              ­                                                       And I hurt my best friend
                                                          ­                                         For a moment of instant gratification

          A moment of instant gratification
          That wasn't even gratifying
          Wasn't in the slightest, satisfying
          Harboring a moment of regret
          For something he won't forget
          But I tried in vain to justify
          The actions I couldn't dignify
          Words that trickled like thorns
          Oh how I wish I waited a minute more
          And not let their whispers win
          Screams rather, as they crawl in
          They soothed their shrieks
          And gently brushed my cheeks
          And convinced me it didn't count
          If it didn't bleed on my account  
          But he held my close and said it did
          I can't swallow it, but it's true, I backslid
          "But it didn't leave any marks to show"
          My mind screams and my heart does echo
          "I didn't bleed in the slightest my dear"
          Disappointing him is a biggest fear
          As immaturity grasps at my soul
          I have to accept my repercussions in whole
          Three months down the drain
          And causing my best friend pain
          Not a scar to show for what I've done
          But away from me, he'll never run..

I used to think
bright blue eyes
and long blonde hair
was my weakness
But it turns out
it was your blue eyes
and your blonde hair
that made my knees drop
made my heart flutter
And now
All I see is you
When the others stare
and their dull blue eyes
don't light up my room
And the smell of their skin
doesn't help me sleep
doesn't make me feel safe
Your eyes are torrential downpour
into my soul
drowning all that I was
Leaving a changed woman
stranded in my place

Stupid girl you never know
Never know just what to do
When you stay or when you go
Hold you breath until you choke
Say goodnight and sleep well
You're under such a selfish spell

There's still a bit of innocence
Deep within my heart
And my lover
My best friend
You're in so deep
You found it
And you make her blush

I need to know from others
Is there a male version of a muse?
Because that's what he is for me
My inspiration my love, who I choose,
Sometimes we have our own reality
Where we can escape all those rules
I need to know from others
Is there a male version of a muse?

I know I've written other poems
And I've written for other guys
But those ones walked away
And said their dramatic goodbyes,
But this ones says he's here to stay
And my heart doesn't fear any lies
I know I've written other poems
And I've written for other guys

Just a look on his gorgeous face
And my soul starts spilling art
And the things he says to me,
There are no words for my heart
After he's gently held my tormented sea,
He's my best, my love, my counterpart
Just a look on his gorgeous face
And my soul starts spilling art

A shirt that smells like you
Feels like a tight hug
and sweet kiss
On my heart
As it renews

A growling tummy
Itchy scars
But you just want to feel
Beautiful
Skinny
Free
Feel anything really
Other than the darkness
Trying to bring you back in
As an old comforting friend

Sitting heavy on the sight
Filling her bones full of fright
Yet comfort and peace within
As she starts to feel some wind
The autumn leaves so damp together
Her bare feet in such cold weather
A tattered dress upon her figure
She calls to him and waits for answer
Time goes by and silence surrounds
Beating down like a hundred hounds
Till a sudden stir in the darkness nearby
As clouds roll in and cover the sky
Sneaking and creeping out of the dark
A man whose bite is worse than his bark
He takes her hand and twirls her about
Pushing away any fear or doubt
Holding her close and easing her pain
She sings to him, doing the same
Ballroom dancing in a graveyard scene
Keeping to the shadows to remain unseen
Sweet words and laughter fill the crisp air
And with each other, their hearts lay bare
Their bare feet in such cold weather
And the autumn leaves are so damp together
They start to feel the chilling wind
But warm from the peace within
The two of them, shining so bright
On a foggy autumn graveyard night

Reports are that New York City
Has washed out with the tide
Give my regards to Broadway
The starless Manhattan skyline

The coffee shop patrons are oblivious
To what is going on outside
With latte in hand they don't realize
They'll soon be swimming for their yuppie lives

All the business men on Wall Street
Are stuffing money in suitcases
Hoping that they'll double as
Life saving flotation

All those spotless high fashion models
Are in heels trying to run-away
It's far too late for that now
Shouldn't have gone to work today

With Central Park underwater
It's now New Yorks finest fishing spot
Tossing fishing lines out of every high-rise
Using what ever bait they've got

From Escargot to caviar
Along with diamond rings for shine
To attract the fish for that special dish
On which the rich can dine

Once a place of so much fun
The island became it's own ride
When Coney Island washed away
As New York was pulled out with the tide

Little things always change
They all build up
And I always forget
To watch for it
Though not always for the worse
Little things always change

I love the taste of my coffee
But I'm really terrible at remembering
To drink it before it stars chilling.
I write
I draw
I sing
I am art.
But my coffee grows old.
So I've become okay with the taste
Of lukewarm coffee.
It's become a familiar kiss
Across my mouth and these lips.

Help Help Help
The echoes reverberate
Ringing loudly
Of these empty prayers
Falling on
Deaf ears?
Are you there?
Are you listening?
I don't feel you
Where have you gone?
Or am I the one who left?
I've been pleading
Desperately praising
Desperately praying
Are you still there?
It feels so empty
So vague
So dusty
Why aren't you close to me?
Or is this what it fees like
When they say
"You're closer than ever
When He feels far away"
Well I don't believe it
This can't be right
Where is my God?
Where is my Saviour?
Are my choked prayers
Falling on His ears?
I don't know what I feel
Am I angry
Am I sad
Do I just give up?
Do I keep chasing?
Where are you?
The echoes reverberate
Ringing loudly
Of these empty prayers
Falling on
Deaf ears?
I won't give up
But I feel so lost
My Saviour My God

You are love joy peace patience

Kindness goodness faithfulness
Gentleness self-control.

And you, in comparison to me,
Are the most pure human example
Of love, that I have ever seen.

You are patient and kind, you
Don't boast or get angry
And you don't keep records of
My wrong, even when I do.

If you need your space and time
To discover what you need to be
I will patiently wait right here.

Just as you were always there for me
I will be here when you are ready

I won't give up, best friend.

Shove your fingers down your throat
Farther farther till your choke
That never was
A friend of mine

Infectious smile
Like the sweetest disease
My lip have never touched
Such a delicate taste
As the gentle toxin
Secreting from your lips

Watching him enjoy something
Something he knows
No matter what it is
Is such an honor
Of the highest degree
The way he glows
Shines
Beams and smiles
Knowing every word
I am beyond blessed
To see that side
That no one else gets to
My pride my joy
My best my love
Thank you
For sharing with me
Without using words

Sweetie I wish to write you a letter
But finding words I haven't said..
Well I could always call you my anchor,
Though that might get erased once I proof read.
I think if our lips pressed together..
Not necessarily in a romantic way,
We wouldn't need to speak forever.
Goodness your smile can make my day.

All my life
there have been guys
this one, that one
this and that
But this time..
With this guy..
I had to take a step back.
My whirlwind was calmed,
And everything was right.
I looked in his eyes
Such beauty and love..
And suddenly he was the only one in sight.

It's not fair, it isn't fair
But with such a heavy glance of despair
You break me you mold me
I can't help but hold an overwhelming love for thee.

My poetry isn't bland, simple, or plain.
It's beautiful, a mess, and all sounds the same.
I use the same pattern, beat, and rhymes,
Eventually it will be used one too many times.

I am fighting the urge to love you so pure
God help me I have a poison and you are the cure.
Ignore me, push away, leave me to a thought.
It makes me miss you so much that I rot.

I'm a tree in the wind, I push but do not break
Will loving you turn out to just be a mistake?
Sometimes it's perfect and you're my closest best friend,
Other times it's like it was all just pretend.

It's not fair for me to desire your full attention,
And the sorrow in my soul is beyond comprehension.
I will never forgive myself, and you shouldn't either
I understand you need a break, your heart needs a breather.

I feel so worn thin, so little butter over too much bread
These thoughts and emotions must get out of my head.
What do you want can't you make yourself clear
But please don't tell me it's what I fear.

It's a sick sort of enjoyment, I get from this life,
It's hard to accept you seeing anyone else as a wife.
But that's what it's come to and that's my fault too
I just hope she makes you happy and her love is true.

You told me have patience to see if it's in my favor
I know I've had inexcusable behavior.
You probably didn't see that it was about you and I,
Waiting to see what you choose makes me want to die.

The heaviest burden I ever have bore,
I'm so sorry for that time, your heart, I tore.
It makes me feel ill to think about my choice,
But you don't understand, he stole my voice.

I won't talk about him because he isn't what I want,
Will my choice forever be over me, a ghost that will haunt?
I'm so sorry my dear, I'm so sorry my precious love,
You always treated me like a gift from above.

And sometimes I think about how bad is the pain,
When the person you love does not love the same.
Then I recall yet again what I did to your heart,
I wonder if it would be best, if I just chose to depart.

I get so beyond torn when I try to decide
Because no matter what, I won't leave your side.
Sometimes it just hurts too much, I have to write it out,
It comes it waves and I'm sorry for my doubt.

I'm sorry for the way my emotions turn and twist,
I never want you to have to deal with this.
I'm such a mess and I want to tell you all that I feel,
But I fear if I do, you will leave, and my nightmare will be real.

Oh my oh goodness me this has turned into a mess,
I can't form my words even when I try my best.
I'm sorry if this isn't clear, doesn't help, or bring peace,
I have no one to talk to, it just sits and festers, this is my release.

We should find a favorite spot,
Go camping there once a year.
In between the traveling about,
From there, to there, to there to here.

Put daisies up in my tangled hair,
And I will you help with yours.
Kiss me when I stir from a night mare,
Kiss my lips and make me soar.

We may only own a single teapot,
Living in the wilderness is an odd career.
But we'll never wish to be elsewhere,
In the morning when we wake to a herd of deer.

The little pitter-patter of tiny feet
Running to daddy and mommy.
A sound that would be so sweet
Even if sentences are a bit clumsy.

I must determine when I need to let you go,
and when I need to just hold close.
But the voices in my head,
send conflicting messages.
And the words that you speak,
Don't help me in the least.
I won't give up on us,
We hold something precious.

Soggy noodles
And the chili I've added
Stinging my dried
Cracked and bright pink lips

Freezing air
And my delicate skin
Stinging and burning
My now rosy raw cheeks

I deeply long for the stinging in my chest of the crisp winter air and I've found an affinity for the rawness of my cheeks after the bitter wind bites me

Oh lord
My loving lord
Aside from you
And the love you provide
I am beyond speechless
Beyond my words
I thank you so passionately
That he is mine

Oh my sweet lover
With the safest arms I know
Hold them close around my skin
My flesh my soul and bones
Encase me in your sanctuary
Wrap me up with delight
I'll see you in the morning dawn
Gently kissed by the days first light

If your lover
Your mate
Helper
Partner
Loses zeal
Loses beauty
Looks twisted
Unrecognizable
Unattractive
When you disagree
Fight
Argue
Breakdown
Then you aren't loving

But my friend
My best
My favorite
You are as handsome as ever.
