in the pleasure of discovering
words rhymes rhythms
i'm a gluttonous poet.

day and night
bite of my growing appetite
makes me sink low

i don't notice
broken pieces
shattered peaces
around me

i breathe in writing
eat and drink
poetry

crazed obsessed stressed
my poetry
like any other debauchery
is an escape ride
someplace to hide

i'm a poet
subservient
to the pleasures of words rhymes rhythms.
I love you
not because
you're good looking

I love you
not because
you're caring

I love you
not because
you dote on me

I love you
not because
your smiles are sweet

I love you
not in lust
of your crevice
or orifice
or skin

I love you
because
without you
I feel

incomplete within.

I should converse more with my son
stop him recede wider from me
should lose no time to hold him strong
we haven’t exchanged much recently.

Our morning tea must find me a way
to draw him to talk and look at my eyes
seize I must some time every day
so I succeed after a few failed tries.

Our dinner shouldn’t pass silently dull
but spiced with jokes and diary of the day
must break laughter the hardening lull
and ensure on the table a longer stay.

I should converse more with my son
grab all the time could be together
days are shorter and crying to be gone
but the bond we leave must be worth a treasure.
I put a lock on the clock
tied its hands with rope
if that made time still
halt its fast gallop!

There was an eerie silence
as lay dead the tool
with time now my slave
I could take it cool!

With there nothing to pass
I felt the burden off me
to lie back and relax
lead a life sans hurry!

For a while it seemed so nice
my time was what I liked to be
reading and writing and dreaming
walk hourless freely!

But soon boredom got me
grew a void of unease
a dead clock wasn’t that good
closed time killed my peace!

Time’s passage the timekeeper speaks
so we aren’t complacent too free
but keep the flow somewhat disciplined
by following a tool friendly!
You light me up,
Like fire.
I burn under your gaze,
The world inflames around me.

You glow,
So bright,
You're a luminous light.

As if destined
to irradiate my life.
To shine light upon
My darkest secrets,
Proving there is a way out of them.

Yet you bring out the beast in me.
You make my lungs suffocate.
I don't want you,
But without your touch,
My body starves for your  presence.

I've lost my grip,
On all the sense in me.
Now I just want
To follow my heart.
Even though it screams
For the wrong path.

How can someone so wrong
Be so right?
We're total opposites
Yet we relate,

We understand each other.
I don't think anyone
Has ever done that before.

You should be the one
Who keeps me firm on my feet.
Instead, you're the reason,
I keep falling.
Hard.

Somehow, you're what gives me
Tranquillity.

My happiness
Is fluorescent
Within your presence.

Your simple touch,
Illuminates my body,
Bringing fireworks
That were absent over the course of my life.

Regardless of what I say,
Stay with me forever,
You bring exhilaration to my life.
You're my state of mind.

I’ll cry you a river,
Weigh my heart,
Count every ounce of feeling I have for you,
Just to prove I am hopelessly in love with you.

You're the magic to my Wonderland.

No, you are my Wonderland.
i died last night
and amongst it all
from way up here
i saw your sparkle
and wished i had done so
much more to love you.
