At the first hello
I do not know
Is that when it starts to grow
Or
When you start to feel alone
When there is an empty space
When you cannot see the others face
When you stumble and fall
When you announce it to all
When you are away
When you decide to stay
When you kiss goodbye
When eyes meet eyes
When you know there are no lies
and
No one cries
When you both watch the sunrise
When there are no more goodbyes
Or
When there is no end
When two souls blend
When you do not pretend
Or
When they become your best friend
!!
Love begins
Mark Tilford Jan 2016
Will anyone visit my  stone
Miss me or wish that I was back home
Will anyone be broken hearted that I left them alone
Will they keep me in their memories and keep me  known

When I am dead and gone
Will they still call me an S.O.B.
Call me crazy
I hope that they would remember
that I was not lazy

When I am dead and gone
Will they remember that I was the one that they could  call on
I was the one they could depend on
And rely on

When I am dead and gone
I will be free of all the games  
Will they remember my name
without getting inflamed

When I am dead and gone
Will the people that hated me
Will they regret not taking a chance to get to know me
If not, Guess what, they can *******

When I am dead and gone
There will be no building that bares my name  
I hope people remember I lived my life to the fullest
With no regrets
I left this life with no debts
and I always took a chance and took the bet

When I am dead and gone
Will it really matter
I will be gone
!!

I will miss

Having you to love
Remembering, As I look down from above
among the doves  

You being by my side
All those years you were my bride
Alongside

Your touch
The way it felt
The way it made me melt
To you I knelt

Making love to you by candle light
all the excite
the delight

How I use to set and just watch  
you move
with nothing to prove  

Sustaining  our love
Never was it draining
It was done with no training

The way we escaped
The days as they shaped
As though they were videotaped

I will miss so much

I will miss

US
!!

I GET SICK TO MY STOMACH
AND WEAK IN MY KNEES
ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS MY NEED TO PLEASE
AT SO MANY LEVELS AND DIFFERENT DEGREES
JUST LIKE THE BIRDS AND THE BEES

WHEN I SEE YOU

IT'S NOTHING NEW
CAN'T YOU SEE THE WAY I LOOK AT YOU
THE WAY I SMILE AT YOU
THE WAY I TALK TO YOU
AND WHEN YOU LEAVE
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU

WHEN YOU SEE ME

DO YOU SEE ME
AS I SEE YOU
CAN YOU GIVE ME A CLUE
SO I WILL KNOW RATHER IT IS TRUE
THAT YOU ADMIRE ME
AS I DO YOU
DO I MAKE YOU WEAK IN THE KNEES
DO YOU FEEL THAT NEED THAT YOU WANT TO PLEASE
AT SO MANY LEVELS AND DIFFERENT DEGREES
YOU KNOW LIKE THE BIRDS AND THE BEES

WE

THERE IS NO NEED TO HIDE
WHAT I SEE IN YOU
AND WHAT YOU SEE IN ME
WHEN WE ARE AROUND EACH OTHER
ALL WE DO IS STUTTER
AND SMILE AT EACH OTHER
AND NEVER  MENTION A WORD OF ANYTHING OTHER
WHY CAN'T WE JUST BE HONEST WITH ONE ANOTHER
AND TAKE IT TO SO MANY LEVELS AND DIFFERENT DEGREES
JUST LIKE THE BIRDS AND THE BEES

WHEN I SEE YOU
I HOPE YOU KNEW I WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU
AND YOU WILL GIVE ME A CLUE

WILL YOU  ?

It's your soul letting you know

fall to your knees
pray
from the bottom of your heart
ask God
to ease your pain
in his name

when your heart is empty
and you think there is no love left
remember he loves you
and that you are blessed

when you need your family and friends
and they do not come around
and cannot be found
God will comfort you

when your eyes fill with tears
just whisper your fears
God will make them disappear

when things get rough
hold your hand out
God will take hold and guide you through
until everything goes smooth

when you are down and out
and you have to live in the streets
God will make sure you eat
when evening falls
he will give you a place to sleep

when dark times fall
God will provide the light
so you may see the way
just pray

when there is evil all around
trust
God will push it away
he will keep you safe
Do not loose your faith

!!
he will be by your side

Do you have a clue
What is the matter with you
Where to?
What are you running from
What will be the outcome
Run

Just because you can
Your a scared man

You have begun
Toward the sun

Away

This love grew
I thought you knew
Now what will you do

Will I be left on my own
Will I become one of the unknown
Who will visit my grave
Cry, moan an grown
Will I be left alone
Will it be the price I pay
Because of the way I lived my days
and
My sinning ways
Who will visit my grave
On the cloudy and rainy days
Who will come and pray
More then a minute will they stay
Who will visit my grave
A single flower they gave
As I lay in my grave
an decay
Who will visit my grave
on
Sunday's  
Will everyone stay away
Leaving me all alone
with my bones
A man not well liked or known
On my head stone
This will be engraved
Who will visit my grave

The man that dug my grave ?
!!
Why
Mark Tilford Aug 2018
Why
Do we lie
Then deny
Why
Do we let love die
Say goodbye
Why
Do we trust
Then lust
Why
Do we try so hard
Then put up a guard
Why
When we get near
We fear
Why
Do we dream
Then scream
Why
Do we pretend
It will not end
Why
Do we hold back tears
For years
Why
Do we think the hurt will heal
Deny it was real
Why
Did we not share
And never dared
Why
Were we best friends
Then never again
#why
Mark Tilford Apr 2016
Is there no more love  
Doesn't it make you want to cry
This earth, it's about to die
Everyone turns a blinds eye
Why ?
Why ?
Does everyone just stand by
And not here the outcry
I am horrified
That  no one wants to rectify  
All they want to do is justify
And just get by
and not try
I guess it's easier to comply
To do nothing must be more
Dignified
Why ?
Are people so satisfied
To just set back and watch this world die
Why ?
Are people not terrified
Because they are waiting for it to be clarified
When it happens I guess then they will be mortified
Then
It will be to late to ask

Why ?
!!
Mark Tilford Apr 2016
Why can't we be kind
To those
That are not our kind
That does not have the same lifestyle as yours and mine
To those
That we do not share the same blood line
That have a total different storyline
To those
That are less fortunate and live on the poverty line  
That does not own any property lines
To those
That does not have a personal credit line
That could care less about the interior design
To those
That does not always think of dollar signs  
That do not drink the finest wines
To those
That does not wear the finest cloths
That live in the shadows
To those
That never impose
That live day to day and lives it slow
To those
Having to live a life
That they never chose  

To those that are homeless
Why can't we be kind
!!
Mark Tilford Sep 2016
what we have done
we have crossed all the lines
we have declined
all the warning signs  
we have missed the deadlines
now one day our sun will not shine
to so many things, we remain blind
so stupid of us, that it never entered our minds
that we needed to be kind

to little, to late
to stop, mankind's fate
just wait!!

on this earth, the crimes, the crimes
committed against her
silent to what we have heard
we thought how absurd
and we just continue forward

when there is no more
songbirds
redbirds
seabirds
snowbirds
to late, for what we should have heard

then when it is to late
we will look back
wishing we would have listened to  and heard
all the warnings

that we should  
and should have been
kind
to our mother earth
!!
Mark Tilford Aug 2015
Why do you give a ****?
If I sleep with a woman
or
If I sleep with a man
**** !!
It's my choice if I want to explore
At least you can't accuse me of being a bore
Why would you give a ****
If I drink to much, pass out and hit the floor
And if I stagger into the door
It sure did not bother you before
It's my business if I do it anymore
Maybe I am not the way I was before
My life is sure not going to be a chore
I will pull up my drawers
Stand up on all fours
Why do you give a **** ?
If I decide to smoke some ****
You are not the one that planted me
when I was just a seed
So with that, have we agreed??
" Concede"
****, why do you give a **** ?
My life is not about greed
I am freed
Guaranteed!!
NO my head does not need an exam
I will never be as passive as a little lamb
More like a Ram
What is a gram??
****!!
Why would you care
If I get into a jam
And sometimes act like a big ham
****!!
Why do you give a ****?
If I land face down in the dirt
or if I hurt
or if I am a big flirt
Not in my genes to be an invert
I will never turn my back on life to divert
Why would you give a ****?
I will tell you this I don't run any kind of scam
I am who I am
And
Frankly
I Don't give a ****
!!
Mark Tilford Apr 2016
We are who we are
Why hide
Have some pride !!
Put what people think aside
Walk with your head held high
Walk with a stride
Remember you never have to justify
We may all look different on the outside
But
We are all the same on the inside
When you look into the mirror never be dissatisfied
Beauty Is in in the eye of the beholder
You are the beholder
Love that you are getting older
Big deal that you may get a cold shoulder
Be proud
Remember you do belong in the crowd
And you are allowed
You never need to bow
Smile never scow
I know you have not forgot how
Take a vow
To always be proud
Always treat yourself
Never ever
cheat yourself
!!
Why Hide??
Mark Tilford Mar 2016
Keep it to yourself
Why can"t we keep it to ourself's
Why do we have to talk
  Keep it to oneself
Why tell ??
We are male
We kiss and tell
After getting a piece of tale
Then
We put our ladies through hell
After we put them under our spell
Why tell???
All it leads to is a farewell
Then we have to fast talk
And
Make a hard sell
And all she can hear is alarm bells
Then we hear
"Go to hell"!!!
So why do we tell??
And put our ladies through so much hell
No wonder we can't find friends
Our mouths we need to cleanse
We need to ask for forgiveness for our sins
We are a hazard to ourself's
When we talk
So
Why tell ??
!!
Mark Tilford Jul 2018
Act now
Or
Eventually
It could be too late
Time
A difference it could make
We both ache
What the hell
Tell
Tell
Well?
How long can we both secretly
dwell
Our thoughts are parallel
Ignore the warning bells
What the hell
Why wait
To
Tell
To
Tell
That you are under the spell
Me as well
Break the shell
I promise you we will not fail
What the hell
Why wait
Tell
Tell
Before the farewell

i will ask for forgiveness
for my sins
as this one life ends
there is so much, i need to mend
with all of my family and  friends
with past girlfriends
with my last breath
there is no reason to pretend
so i will make amends

i am sorry that you wept
i am sorry i was a man without depth
i am sorry for not being grateful
i am sorry for the promises that were unkept
i am sorry i was so hard to accept
i am sorry for the time that was not spent

with my last breath
in my descent
the bad things they were not meant
done i promise without intent
i do and will repent
asking for forgiveness i need no consent

i made so many mistakes
i never put on the brakes
with my last breath
i realize family and friends you can never replace
with life there is not a retake
what you do, what you have done, you cannot erase  

with my last breath
I will ask
forgive me
please
!!

You
Mark Tilford Sep 2019
You
You
Are who you are
Because of you
Not
Because of someone wanting
you to be

You
and
only you control your
fate
Be who and what you
are
meant to be

You
!!
Mark Tilford Mar 2018
when
the love making slows
the relationship no longer grows
for no reason you feel low
the little things start to show
barely saying hello
communicating in morse code
to often they are a no show
stuck on the metro
there is no afterglow
time is borrowed
you constantly explode
not taking the high road
loosing what was bestowed
you just know
when
there are whispers
everyone is talking about what they saw
leaving the details raw
you withdraw
see nothing but the flaws
your no longer in awe
when
you just know
it is time to
go
!!
Mark Tilford Aug 2016
maybe your dreams
maybe a new song to sing
maybe a new fling
maybe something new that you have not seen
maybe you will be made a Queen
maybe you will be made a King
maybe an early spring
maybe everything
maybe an engagement ring
maybe a wedding ring
maybe a bee sting
maybe what was wrong will be made right
maybe you will go on your first flight
maybe you will no longer have to fight
maybe everyone will be polite
you never know what tomorrow will bring
maybe just maybe
everything will be alright
!!
Mark Tilford Apr 2016
Why do you not share  
Out of fear ?
Scared?
Your fantasy
Of
*******
or of
Big *****
The touch of a whip
Your fantasy
of
Women to women
Men to men
A *******
A foursome
One or more
Walking naked through
someone's door
Your fantasy
Of
Dressing like a man
Dressing like woman
Playing doctor and nurse
Your Fantasy
does not have to be
rehearsed
It is not a curse
your
just quenching your thirst
Go ahead let it be the first
Let your hair down
and
Be submersed
In your fantasy
Get out of your agony
It's not insanity
It is a fantasy
of
Sensuality
Sexuality  
There is no shame
in a little pain
You have nothing to lose
Why would you let it be
such a recluse
Let  loose
be seductive
and
corrupted
In
Your fantasy
Share!!
I would just bet your partner would dare
Mark Tilford Jun 2016
You warned me
It was close to the end
There is nothing left to mend
No, we will not be friends
Got to let it go
Thought our love was strong
I guess I was wrong
How long
No reason to prolong
Not lasting one more day
No more dues to pay
Going to miss our play
Be on your way
You will never find anyone that
makes love like me
You will see
I am sure you will agree
While your searching for someone like me
I am telling you
After you get through a few
You will want to come back to me
You say please
I will remind you
You told me
Now I am telling you
!!

— The End —
