regret
tom krutilla Jan 2014
When the  evening stretches out across the sky
and the winds calm with those peering stars
and all these sad retreats that pass by my eyes
remind me that I may have gone too far

for I have taken your love, and threw it on the ground
step on your happiness, and discarted those frowns
I should have reach for you, in your dire straits
instead of watching your soul and body break

you gave to me a love so unrelenting
I handed you a bag of false promises
theres no need for my repenting
for I know your love for me is dismiss

as I sit hear on this quite night, with those peering stars
reflecting in my mind where you are
perhaps in a distant rendezvous I will see
what real love was meant to be

my wonder
tom krutilla Jan 2014
have I told you that you are the wonder of my life
the sweet fragrance of every breath I take
and you take apart my heart daily and rearrange it
to love you even more

anticipating seeing you, has my mine all aflutterd
as I watch those soft lips say good morning
your voice tunes will play in my head all day
to keep my step lively and in rhythm

when the evening comes with it blankets of stars
and before the moon tucks us in for the night
I'll point one out just for you and me
then hold you close as we silently dream

double meaning
tom krutilla Jan 2014
I can understand you may not really know what my meanings are on this page
I just try to catch the whirlpool of words and put them into a coherant thought
my thoughts are for no one in particular, only to engage in some imagination
and in the quietness of the night, that imagination could run wild

perhaps they are meant for you, or perhaps of me, or for when you sleep and dream
perhaps they are for the masses thinking my thoughts matter to them
perhaps they are saying what they are afraid to say, not knowing how to
perhaps it's just to clean the mind of a cluttered word mess

when you read them, always read twice, cause a double meaning is always nice

departed love affair
tom krutilla Jan 2014
I always new this time would come
when we depart our lives as one
that smile you wear, is worn out by fear
and that says it all

but could it be your missing me
in all your wildest fantasys
and realize its not a dream
that i have forgotten you
I chose to refuse your memories

the residue of this love affair
lie strewn across  the floor
the shamelessness and greed
collects in the corners of this room

a restless heart will never rest
as it looks for new blood for it's life
and when the heart stops
there is peace

empty space
tom krutilla Jan 2014
I take a look at this place, its such an empty space
and I'm not sure how to fill it without you
there are silent echos reverberating of a past forgotten
I set my mind on them, and yet they never last
could it be your missing me, I ask myself, the question lingers
I can't chase fantasys anymore, I have a hard time catching reality
so i will dim the lites and close this door, and walk towards a future uncertaint

the caterpillar
tom krutilla Jan 2014
he walks, he wiggles, on the ground
slowly but surely, without a sound
his feet are a hundred, timely in beat
rhythm and rhyme, one, two, three

the caterpillar is unique in his own way
nothing bothers him, he likes that way
he comes and goes up and down his tree
slowly, but surely, one, two, three

wont you come back home
tom krutilla Jan 2014
I saw you, standing on that corner
alone with your thoughts
and I wondered, what your thinking
who your missing, or which way to go
your sad eyes, they don,t smile as you turn
and walk away

from this distance, I want to hold you
and caress you,just one more time
to let you feel me, as I feel you
and bring that smile, back to your face

has your journey, left you lifeless,
and all but blinded you, from seeing the truth
if you just turn around, see what,s in front of you
cause your sad eyes, they don,t smile as you turn
and walk away
Jan 2014 · 361
the end
tom krutilla Jan 2014
don't be afraid to approach for i cannot harm you anymore
lying here , my arms folded, my eyes closed for all eternity
you can kneel at my side and say the thoughts you feel
for I cannot respond
the guilt i have put on you has suddenly gone away
you are free now to proceed with your life without my to interfere

a smile
tom krutilla Jan 2014
she graces me with a smile each day, as if she is the dawn
awakening my heartbeat and enticing my blood to flow
her voice is like an angel, as she glides toward me
as i feel the softness of her petal arms wrap around me
a quick whisper of I love you, breezes through my ear
and with a grogy smile, I know that I am  loved

wondering souls
tom krutilla Jan 2014
wondering souls walk aimlessly forward
trying to rid themselves of the past
their footsteps follow, taunting their path
they look behind to see if they have faded
only to come full circle

letter
tom krutilla Jan 2014
I hope this letter finds you well, from the dark dispair I've heard you dwell
the words I've penned are meant to say, to calm the demons that have swelled
oh that my logic and heart felt rhymes, may crease the corners of your smiles
to let your mind divert to another time, if only for a while
for I am not a savior to take away your fears, just a friend to remind you are cared
and as you fold the letter and keep it near your *****, may your demons disappear

this write
tom krutilla Jan 2014
perhaps you'll stumble upon this write, for it's just for you
and see i am true to my word, wanting to start anew with you
there'd be no more playing with your heart or confusing your mind
i realize now that you think, i'm the best you'll ever find
the tears that trickle down your cheek, i know it's because of me
the guilt when i see them, has left me to realize we were meant to be
an apology is in order, as i wipe those tears away
but you smiling and holding me, theres nothing more to say

empty chair
tom krutilla Jan 2014
desending down that creaky staircase I can see the glow from his cigarette
the fresh brewed scent of coffee mixing in, window open, his morning routine
though I am just a kid, I wonder what he is thinking, probably family and work
he hears my footsteps and says good morning son,yawning, I say good morning dad
I ask him how are you today, he chuckles and says, I,m feeling good and you, he ask
I feel different today, I can feel what today will bring, and I don't understand and he chuckles
the next morning, there was'nt that glow from a cigarette, nor the scent of fresh brewed coffee
only an empty chair and the window closed as I start my morning routine

whispers
tom krutilla Jan 2014
the moon is so bright tonight, it reminds me of your eyes
how you can lite up my darkness, and be my guiding lite
but like the moon you are far away from me, I can't reach you tonite
so I'll just mimic I'ts smile, and wait for the morning light

ten nights have come and gone, and the moon is now a crescent
with evening clouds, the eyebrows, skewing I'ts luminence

remember me when he whispers your name, for I'ts not the same
the walk of shame seems endless, when thers no one else to blame
you can tell me stories, tell me lies, and make your claim
remember me when he whispers you name

spray on cologne
tom krutilla Jan 2014
so you decided to call me and plead yourself
the soundscape music made you miss me, again
what am I to wonder as I ponder your request
I'm still gluing back the pieces of another broken heart

am I just a spray on cologne when you need the fragrance of love
only to try your other brands when I finally wear off
perhaps i'ts not the product, but the user's misuse
read the label, this product expires in thirty days

stranger
tom krutilla Jan 2014
i wonder what shes like in person, not just on a site
so intrigued i am, of every thing she writes
her words come across to me, as a mirror of my life

did I know her in some distant past, only to rekindle feelings felt
did we walk along a meadow,hand and hand, as our hearts melt
as we talk about all our things, of the life we were dealt

and now we converse in cyberspace, with words unafraid
no one to say whats right or wrong, our dues have been paid
a reunion of sorts, for you and I, anonymous all the way

a passing moment
tom krutilla Jan 2014
let me wipe away that tear, that hangs there on your cheek
you've been wronged for no reason, and that ******* is weak
for this is just a passing moment, one of many more to come
for i see in you that beauty and charm, what a woman you,ve become

let him not hold your heart hostage, as you venture out anew
let him whither away in a past forgotten, and discard your blues
i see in you a sturdy flower, your roots strong, your petals reach out
to collect the warmth of your hoizon, and to bloom once more without a doubt

breathe
tom krutilla Jan 2014
when she stands in the doorway, the bright aura surrounds her
then her smile beams with anticipation and i reach to touch her
the soft kiss grazes her cheek, as her breath slowly exhails

and i gently take her hand and guide her to the place we want to be
laying beside her slowly kissing her every curve as she breaths deep
her hands softly on my head directing me where to go

as she starts her rhythm i here the soft whimpers timely in beat
her grasp is strong if only for a moment then goes limp around my neck
and my soft kiss grazes her cheek, as her breath slowly exhails

break up
tom krutilla Jan 2014
my lies have been misconstude,to truths, so i thought
through my haze i see the hurt i put on you
all those nights you welcome me home, arms open
and all those nights the guilt just buids

if you could just stop packing and turn around
not to forgive me again, but to let me look once more
at what i have lost

new year
tom krutilla Jan 2014
the clock says its midnight, another new year
but every year's the old year cause your not here
a new begining i'm told, time to move on with life
but the dusty old memories,come back to me at night

maybe this time it will be different, but i don't know
the best thing in my life, is so hard to let go
i wonder if you think of me, every once and awhile
and if you do i hope its with a smile

the clock says it's midnight, another new year
but every year's the old year, cause your not here
a new begining i'm told, time to move on with life
but the dusty old memories, come back to me at night

my love
tom krutilla Dec 2013
Now is not the time, my love
to besiege me with your lies
for i still mourn, my love
your ruthless goodbyes

you have awaken the beast in your heart
and you must tame him as you once did me
tread lightly, though, beware of his dark
with this new life you seek

now is not the time, my love
to besiege me with your lies
for i still mourn, my love
your ruthless goodbyes

its from my heartmy love

a sonnet
tom krutilla Dec 2013
the suddleness of a starry night
your eyes sparkle with the ray of light
the loneliness you feel inside
cannot be silenced or hide

I breath your air so very pure
but the deep visions are obscure
the touch of your hand on mine
as we slowly pass into time

we are brought down to earth
with a sensuous feel not a hurt
we pause and kiss as the moon passes by
and you rest your head on a pillow to lie

a sonnet
tom krutilla Dec 2013
the evening sky settles down
the moon's face draws a frown
quiet lights a city cease
the restless town resides in peace

night grows on the fire dims
a soft breeze wrestles a tree's limbs
the old frog sings a timely song
the owl's hoot sings along

a crack of light the sun appears
through the silent dawn the statue stares
people life nature's tunes
will come alive very soon

another day in city life
the time to struggle the time to strife

a moment of life
tom krutilla Dec 2013
we were like two ships on the open sea
we drifted into each other's path
the horizon grew bright, the seas calm
my search for life had ended with you

when we came to meet, your eyes met mine
we sailed on the crest of the waves
the sun was warm, our spirits high
and the wind whispered in our ears

but like the winds that change in all directions
we found ourselves on differant courses
and with each turn of the world we'll meet
to share a moment of life

haiku
tom krutilla Dec 2013
naked trees stand bent
old men lay down silent death
nature's way of life


springtime serenade
bluebirds chirp morning songs
nature awakens


the clouds roll slowly
crack open their arms
the rain falle gently

He request us His own way
we can ponder come what may
till our thoughts subside end of day

sirens fingers
tom krutilla Dec 2013
Gentle waves tickling the shore
like the sirens fingers motioning
come join me, come join me

gentle breeze wraps around me
and hold me in a trance
eyes staring at the horizon

oh those noisy seagulls
with their happy chatter
searching for what they desire

and , what is my desire, I ask
or am I like them, searching
circling again and again

perhaps I should get off this rock
and return to the world
and realize I am me

the distant
tom krutilla Dec 2013
We use to be the king and queen of our kingdom
I must have let the jester get too close
all of his jokes and fancy tricks made you smile
and the distant between us only widens

the late nights staring out the window
waiting for you to come home
wondering if you will then wondering who you are
and the distant between us only widens

and that late night staring out the window
you never did come home
knowing now you won't wondering who you are
and the distant between us only widens

as the late night fades to sunrise
as Im staring out the window
I slowly draw the curtains
knowing now the distant is forever
Dec 2013 · 471
holding on
tom krutilla Dec 2013
I can see that twinkle in your eyes when
I sweep your hair around your ear
yet your gaze is deep and uncertant
wondering what your thinking

your arms wrap around my waist
as mine are wrapped around yours
the space between our faces oh so
dangerously close, oh so tempting

the heat giving off by our bodies
building to unrelenting passion
trying not to submit yet not wanting
to be the first to let go

holding on holding on until the fire
is too much we burn with intensity
just let our bodies melt into one
create a solar flare that travels

at the speed of light and touches
all of our universe and beyond
till i see that twinkle in your eyes
as I sweep the hair around your ear

Dont stretch me out too much my Lord

guide me to that promise land
to enjoy the fruits of your labor
and i will reciprocate in kind

you gave me the devil and
i hope you took him away

for i am not perfect, my sins i
cant hide from you
your forgivness for your chidren
is a constant
please hear me as you always do
my love for you is forever as yours is for me

tom krutilla Dec 2013
We seem to be living in a perpetual state of fear
the talking heads on the **** tube provide that

what ever happen to the trust in humanity
to love and respect one and other
I guess the new millennium faded with y2k
or is our Lord saying tag your it, lets see what you got

Do you know that you are the passion that flows through my veins
a wanting so deep, i feel nothing but your being with me
the warmth of your aura surrounds me with calmness
when you whisper in my ear, i love you, sends me into
a state of mind i've never known

your face is the portrait that hangs on the wall of my heart
every line of your smile tells the history of our life
and your eyes, speak of the future to come.

I will tighten your heart strings
up or down, till each note is perfect

then strum me that melody inside your head

sing the last line lovely and true

and in between tell the story of hopes and dreams
of journeys for you and me
and let the final note forever ring

she was using me like a pole,rubbing her body up and down
the rythm was sensual and timely in beat,i was aroused
twirling around me her hands never touching my penisbutter
and her body was smooth and creamy, spreading on my bread of love
our minds were engorged as we devour each other
our appetites relentless and our thirst unfulfilling
as exhaustion set in we curled into each other, satisfied
and slept to the stars delighta

summertime and its evening skys
with their colors that flow within my eyes
cool winds blow the night air, clear
perhaps the end is near for us to be together here
your love it seeme has disapeared

the wintertime so cold and still
snow falls silent upon the hill
the nights are lonely, full of emptinees
missing your eyes and that tender kiss
and i know now were i went wrong
the words i sing to, this sadden song
reminds e that your forever gone

springtime comes and the skys are blue
the sun is warm, the land anew
waters flow from the mountain high
i still remember your last goodbye
memories of you i'll always keep
i'll dream of you when i sleep
in hopes to hold you tight when we meet
but maybe it time to rearrange
to fine out its me that has to change

timely in beat, soothing to the soul
her eyes draw you into her world
her smile makes you want to know her more

our reunions have a way of rekindlingour past lifes
old friends, good memories,catching up om the now is ageless
you and i know we evaluate each other, with laughter of course
how we have changed, yet we are still the same, just that life got in the way
but for that hour, or that day,we remember our younger times
and see how we have grown,and traversed lifes minefields
so we have some tale to tell each other whether truths or lies
but at the end of the day,we will always be friends for life

an observation
tom krutilla Nov 2013
as i walk amongst you pitiful humans, i chuckle and stare in amazement
at the way you carry yourself
is your rightousness so dominat in your mind that you cant tell
who you are, were you came from
the shattered pieces of your ego are hazards on the path i walk
the wimper of your wailing crys that know your self absorbing
senses are fading, brings a smile to me
your trueness, you finally realize, makes you weak, when its
your turn to bear the burden ot the wrong you have done
and then you expect me to resolve it all, ah but i think i have better
things to do, perhaps i can finally teach love and the understanding
that i preach so much, to the next and perhaps final generation
if i so desire.
