Mr X

Loving a Poet

With tears in her eyes,
she told,
"I've loved a poet."

Mr X

Inner Self

Me and my inner self
Are two worlds wide apart...
And in this hour of solitude,
I've become one with myself.

◇ He Touched Her Soul ◇

◇◇◇

He wrote of
new horizons
sensual sunsets
and a moonlight
that would touch her soul

He tempted her with
the freedom of the ocean
the wonder of the waves
and pulled her heart
like the tide

She danced
to his tune under the stars
immersed herself
in the waves of his wishes
forever
drowning in his love

For you.

I will scream into the void with you. Take my hand, let me calm your fears.I will weave my words into a shelter, a place of grace for your troubled heart.

Walk with me until the stars dim forever, until the sun implodes and only dust remains. I am here with you, there with you. Let my tangled thoughts be your remedy, your darkest dreams my salvation. Take my light, for I would rather walk in darkness unending than see the weight of sorrow on your pretty brow.

You are my privilege, my haven, my friend, this will always be, as long as there is breath I will use it to sing of my wonder at your strength and my joy at your existence.

If you believe in nothing else, I beg that you believe in me

A gift for a very dear friend, in the hope that he will know that he is loved.

Is It Poetry?

Is it poetry?
Or the result of our hidden resentments?

Floating under water

I fell in love with night.

I am in love,
With your
Darkness.

You seduced me,
With your mystery.

Everywhere I look I see your face.
Grandiose,
yet humble.
Old as time.
Luminous freckles,
Stretch proud,
On the infinity
Of your body.

You inspire me,
And humble me.
I am enchanted
By your
Lullaby
Of silence.

I know  there's some that fear you,
Stricken by the omnipresence.
I feel sympathetic,
For the ages
Of misconceptions.
Whispered in your name.

I am staggered
To my atoms.
By your honesty.
Your projection,
Naked and dark,
Bare and bountiful,
Beautiful.

And I know one day Ill join you,
Up in your excellence.

This is heartfelt
But it's nearly 3:00 am in England
And I think it's time to let nights lullaby take me.

Because I Drove Drunk

We sat in a bar
We got stinking drunk
We left in my car
Were both full of *****

We drove through the night
Both talking some trash
I ran a red light
Head on was the crash

I lay in the street
The blood would not stop
A beer by my feet
Approached by a cop

Body was shaking
Heart dropped when he said
"Ain't no mistaking
Your best friend is dead."

I was arrested
*** put in a cell
Strength was then tested
In suicide hell

Very next morning
Inside a Courtroom
People were mourning
I shared in their gloom

I looked at his Mom
Eyes teary and sad
Her world without charm
I knew she was MADD

"I am so sorry
Through hell I will trudge
I wish it were me
May God be my judge."

I have no defense
I'm going away
Jail's one consequence
I sadly must pay

The price it will cost
It's steep as can be
I carry a Cross
Too heavy for me

I sit in my cell
I see your son's face
In suicide hell
I constantly pace

My heart can't go on
My soul has no *****
My best friend is gone
Because I drove drunk.”

my friend wrote this because this happened to him
