Raymond F Bell Mar 2015
The waters have parted
An unwished dream comes to fruition
Will I stay dry
If I stand in the partition
Should I leave my things behind
And risk my old life for a new
Can I safely stand in between
Or will the walls conjoin and renew
Leaving me tossing and drowning in the middle
Wishing I had stayed back on the shore
Where my life was stable, standing on flat land
Always wishing for more
I just see a life on the other side of the sea
Feeling like that side is better and fit for me
But Moses isn’t here to assist me through
What would you do?

I’m in a great mood
Nobody can bring me down
I get out the shower
And put a towel around
I go down the hall
No one did I see
And when I close the door
There you are right behind me
You push me on my bed
And rip off my towel
You match my outfit
And all I can say is Wow
Then I saw something shiny …
You handcuffed me to the rail
You wanted to guarantee
That your plan wouldn’t fail
You did some dance
As if to celebrate your victory
But then I started to rise
And understood this was some witchery
You noticed I was strong
And started working my muscle
If she was getting paid
I would have sworn it was her hustle
We both seemed to enjoy
What you came to do
And when your powers got to a ******
I swore a volcano just blew
Then your powers started to fade
And you vanished in thin air
The handcuffs vanished too
And I wonder if you were ever there
Now you’ve had your way
And again I’m *****
So I’ve gotta go take another shower
And now it’s 11:30

Hoping for forever
Wishing for the best
Wanting to tie the knot
And together build our nest

But we’re gonna Chris Brown crawl to love
So that we know that it’s right
I can’t even see our end
I can’t even picture one fight

Perfect in each other’s eyes
And that’s when we get humble
But let’s put our worries aside
And just get ready to rumble

Your hand in mine
My heart in yours
The L word is what
This poem refers

I hope these poems and letters
Make your memory box complete
So I would be the last suitor
That you’ll ever have to meet.

Electric guitars and drum solos
Are filling my night’s sound
A battle of the bands with my mind
Hoping my thoughts to drown
A pounding headache is a lot easier
Than waking up from some fear
Fear of intrusion, fear of bad decisions
Fear of losing someone dear
Soon my bed seems unsoft, sleep seems like work
But I just want time to fly
So I look to music to rock me to sleep
And drown out the nightmare of goodbye

I see a mirror
Of Love,
A promise fulfilled
By the power above

I see a mature woman
Who’s endless in worth
Who has dreams and goals
And a great purpose on Earth

I see a soul
That’ll hold me close
Keep me happy
And love me the most

When I look into your eyes
My search is complete
No more looking for love
No more girls to meet

When I look into your heart
I feel God’s grace and blessing
My prayers were answered
And there’s no more guessing

When I see you smile
Not a worry do I feel
Stress falls to the ground
And my anger tends to peel

When I see you happy
It feeds my spirit
I’d even ask if you liked my body
Just to even hear it

When I see your life
I see our great futures combined
Nothing but success, love, and peace
Fill my dreams and mind

When I see into your mind
I see your want to be great
And you’re off to a good start
Many girls are gonna hate

When I see into your love
It makes me write it down
Sing it to a crowd
Or preach it on a mound

And when you read this
Many emotions do you feel
But what I love the most
No worry about them being concealed

If you haven’t fallen in love with the way my lips call your name,
Then you surely cannot kiss them.
If you haven’t gotten lost in the riptide of my bright, blue eyes,
Then why should I point them in your direction?
If you don’t smile at the thought of me every time you hear Bruce Springsteen,
Then you should just change the station on your car radio.
And if the thought of me doesn’t terrify you more than any nightmare you’ve ever dreamt,
Then please darling, save us from ourselves and just walk away.
I guess I just want to scare you
I can touch you with words,
I can bring you to heights you’ve never been before,
I can caress your mind and envelop your spirit,
I can **** you so deeply into my expressions you have no choice but to taste them.
I can be your weakness and also your strength,
I can show you beauty in cloudy skies and sunsets,
I can empathize with you,
I can stand by when tears leave,
I can purify your soul and keep your mind at ease,
I can show you how to breathe –if you drown in me, I can be your release.
I can slow time and make you experience moments,
I can show you how metaphors will make you fall in love,
I can play with words until you feel their touch.
I can bring you happiness,
I can cause you pain,
I can show you passion until it drives you insane.
I can tell you secrets,
I can tell you lies,
I can show you heaven and hell through my lines.
Poets have the ability to make you see, feel and hear things in each their own way.
