her heart
an open wound

weeping
like an ulcer on the skin

dedicated
to their love, body and soul

together
they were to walk as one in this world

baggage
from the past keeps getting in the way

indiscretions
only causing pain

ashes of lost love
left to blow away in the wind

eventually to disappear
like a forgotten soul once loved

my dead friends
taken in their youth

dying
believing in the future

dying
believing dreams come true

dying
believing in true love

dying
believing everything is possible

only to have it all taken away

my dead friends
taken in their youth

they died too soon

seven days straight on the *****
in drunken stupor your mind you loose

demons and devils fill your head
wanting only to be dead

with knife in hand you start to cut
burning your skin with a cigarette ****

consumed by morbid thoughts of death
you long to breathe your last breath

confined in your mind
your words are bitter and unkind

i beg

i cry

love is not enough to make you stop
there is nothing I can do

i cannot watch
i walk away

thank god that was yesterday

there is a chill in my bones
i can no longer feel your sun

my heart aches
winter is already here

fog surrounds  me
engulfing me in numbness

bitter cold has taken hold
tears  pour like rain

How I long to have your arms around me

Our hands flow over each other
like water
teasing

teasing  tongues lapping every inch of each other
like ocean waves
devouring

devouring each other
like wild animals
pleasing

hard and soft come together
like sugar and cream
desiring

desiring as we melt into each other
like chocolate
arousing

arousing each other we become one
moving to a rhythm only we can hear
burning

burning like a candle until the flame is blown

i know the deal
they give us birth
push us out
we learn hurt
i've watched the coffin dip
i drank from the bottle tip
any **** you throw at me
i'll spit it back in your face as poetry
i don't need to read the good book
i have you by the hook
a woman who could have you on her platter
if needed your weak heart i'd ******* shatter
i have you by the ***** *******
so pucker up and ******* kiss
i will devour your every wish-

caught up in cyberspace
you cannot see me

your body is here
the mind somewhere else

i walk past you naked
you do not see

you **** with my mind
not me

i feel numb
lost interest

I think is time for you to leave.....

it's only sweet when first tasted
once digested it ruptures your core
lost love that implores
heart burn leaves my pit wasted
he thought he had a "big ****"
the dumb ***** actually meant that literally
the funny thing is
what he had between his legs couldn't ******* tickle me

blue eyed boy of pure flesh and grown bones
you truly inspire
sadly you desire to burn
beneath the suns clench
you have written poetry for girl's
scattered all over this world
all i ask of you is a poem for me
a note to let me know it's true
they say it comes easy to you
blue eyed boy of thirty two
you look far younger than your years
admired by your wisest peers
you say that your heart beats to the rhythm of mine
for that poem i still pine
write it with your blood
i promise you i will drink it up line after line
roy mccarthy
for that poem i still pine

partying
women
drugs
drink
do you ever think ?

you justify your every sin

with sugar coated words you lure
your's a tainted heart
it is not pure

poetry and pretty rhymes
hollow words
empty lines

partying
women
drugs
drink
do you ever think ?

think of the girl who loves you true
she has given her heart and soul to you

you took that love then took a **** on my face
just so you could have a taste

a taste of *****
****
and sweet ****
you *******
your love is a blatant farce

i am done
i am through
i burn the love i once gave to you

partying
women
drugs
drink

*******......

do you ever think ?

my friend
she laughs at me
for believing
there is a prince amongst the frogs

she calls me the dreamer
she is the realist
black and white
i am the optimist
a rainbow

my friend
she laughs with me
our lives
have taken
different paths
yet
our lives have been the same

so what becomes of the optimist ?
or the realist ?
they keep looking
always searching

for in the end
it may only be
when they are dying
they finally realise
what they truly had

what we had
what we missed
what we lost.

how did you get in ?
you scaled the walls
these walls of protection
the barrier that keeps me safe
what am i scared of ?
rejection or affection ?
your honesty and openness penetrate me
softening me
melting me
you are infectious
i wish i had your confidence
you touched me
it scared me
i want you
i crave you
i feel you when your not there
you say you love me
how do you know ?
how do i know ?
it’s too soon
is it too soon ?
i think too much
will you be there tomorrow ?
will i be here tomorrow ?
who knows where we go from here or what tomorrow brings
i’ll take that chance
it was me that let you in.....
