old friend
tom krutilla Jun 2014
hello old friend, its nice to her from you again
so many days and years have come and gone
hope you found the place were you belong
and life continues on
as for me, I could lament, of all the time I spent
chasing dreams, searching for that meaning
while waiting for the answers now pending
and life continues on
these forks in the road are many
each time tantilizing your feelings
such roads are long and uncertain
may end as your final curtain
and life continues on
such are the thoughts of young love lost
such are the questions of matured thinking
so hello old friend, its good to hear from you again
hope you found the place were you belong
as life continues on

A thought
tom krutilla Sep 2015
shall I cleanse the soul to find hope
and with hope, I shall find clarity
with clarity, there's a sense of being
and with a sense of being, I will finally
cope

let the dust of life that accumulates
collect and hitch a ride on the winds
and then the shiny new me, will challenge
the sun
for their are no more shadows for me to follow

AWAKEN
tom krutilla Jan 2020
I too was like you
I added up the night dreams
and totaled my silent screams
Ah but here it is, a new day
with inspired tunes
they infiltraded my head singing
the turmoil of yesterday
those were the debt already paid
I smelled the fragrance of
the long last me
and this one I shall follow
instead

LIFE
tom krutilla Feb 2016
first your created
then born
then you see
then you talk
then you experience
then you experience
then you experience
then you break down
slowly
I don't know, I forgot
who are you, there waiting
for me
take your place in the
night sky
I'll always say goodnight
sweet dreams

His Tear
tom krutilla Nov 2017
I am just like you
pretty when  I was born
beautiful when I grew

I was just a person
walking on God's creation
living life with His certain

my color should not matter
we are the colors in His crayon box
mixed and matched, to create a splatter

as it takes form
our blood bleeds the same red
His painting of perfection has lead

to the now
the intelligence He bestowed upon us
perhaps He errored in trusting us

I can envision His hand
wiping the palate clean
a tear rolls down His mighty cheek
Heart broken from what He,s seen

thin line
tom krutilla Sep 2014
this thin line between the mind and the soul
can become askewed
with all the whirlpool of thoughts
bout things we knew
yet anticipation runs wild with all that is new

the soothing sonnet of the humming bird's song
reminds the heart that the past is long gone
and realize that it's here I belong

the trepidation of the future quietly goes away
fears and uncertainties have gone astray
waiting on the illumination of better days

in this valley, tween the rolling hills
the echos of promise is instilled
perhaps now I can find the will

Untitled
tom krutilla Dec 2014
A blank piece of paper and restless thoughts
sitting in silence, no words are brought
this room full of moisture, mostly from my eyes
with no answers that I sought
A coldness has sharpen your words
your breath, lingers like swords
that ***** me, like never before

what body are you warming
I should have seen the warnings
when your nights turn into mornings

our bed feels like a vast ocean
empty with waves of emotions
that spill over the horizon
in slow motion

the yearning for your freedom, I ask why
the exhausted sigh and coldness in your eyes
are the echos that fill this room of your goodbyes
270 · Mar 2014
our song
tom krutilla Mar 2014
there is a melody in my head
every time you speak to me
your perfect pitch, all the words
are notes to the rhythm that I hear

your tone is so subtle and easy flowing
lifts me up as I fall for you all over again
my dancing heart wants to hold you
and never let go, twirling through our lives

every step perfect, every misstep a work in progress
till we fine tune all the parts into the perfect song
then our life together slowly fades, holding each other
may the echos of our song, forever inspire the world

WHISPERED MEMORY
tom krutilla Dec 2018
IF I WHISPERED YOU A MEMORY
WOULD THAT BRING A TEAR TO
YOUR EAR
AS MY BREATH CONJURES UP
CERTAIN THOUGHTS
YOU HOLD SO DEAR

AND ITS ONE MORE TIME ON THIS
MERRY-GO- ROUND RIDING THE HORSE
AND LAUGHING WITH THE CLOWNS

THIS SLOW UP AND DOWN ON THIS RIDE
WE GO ROUND AND ROUND
ABSORBING THE MUSIC
HOLDING ONTO OUR PRIME

AND WILL MY BREATH MAKE YOU WEAK
WILL I NEED TO KEEP YOU UPRIGHT
AS OUR FEELINGS DRIP DOWN THE SEWERS
OF LOVE LOST, FOREVER THIS NIGHT

FOR THIS WILL BE OUR LAST TIME
ON THIS MERRY-GO-ROUND
RIDING THE HORSE, AND LAUGHING
WITH THE CLOWNS

AS THE SLOW UP AND DOWN OF THIS RIDE
COMES TO A STOP, AS WE SLOWLY DISMOUNT
WE'LL  WALK AWAY, WITHOUT MAKING A SOUND

heart stirngs
tom krutilla Nov 2013
like an out of tune guitar
I will tighten your heart strings
up or down, till each note is perfect

then strum me that melody inside your head
sing the words of the first line sad and blue
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
264 · Jan 2016
for my friend
tom krutilla Jan 2016
tears fall down your sculpted cheeks
I'll catch them in my waiting lips
and with my kiss, I'll give them back
so there won't be a repeat

your touch I feel, what you seek
absent of pain, that holds your heart
my words enter your ears, decipher
for they are heartfelt,to give some relief

let the corners of your mouth crinkle with life
the fullness of that smile, a beholden sight
my shoulders your pillow, my arms a blanket tight
close your eyes, your past a final goodbye

ultimate trail
tom krutilla Oct 2015
as I walk down this trail
such beauty surrounds me
vibrant color flowers
sweet scent of the trees

my thoughts are quite
amongst natures sounds
absorbing nature, drains the
negatives in my mind
the sky so blue, seems unreal
is this heaven that I found

see the butterflies flutter past
my face, to look for flowers
to feed their souls
my eyes close, my breath slows
if I have to go, then let it be here
for it's a beautiful day to die
and this is the place

Final scene
tom krutilla Nov 2017
be well my love
if you want it this way
our final scene
in this fairy tale play

take you bows, bid farewell
your memories of us disapates
across the street, in that shady place
you'll find your escape

as for me, i'll be sitting
stage right
dimming the lights
wondering whats left
but only for awhile
I know there be a new
light for me
this is not my final goodnight

A bit of chuckles
tom krutilla Aug 2017
the hand, is perfectly formed
for a device that speaks our minds
attention defecit is a medical issue
but the cure is ringtones
we are born with ten fingers
glad I took typing, its useful
on a nine inch device
they say humans are capable
of deep thoughts
did'nt realize Lol is a cue to laugh
I wonder if the aliens recieved my texts
they would probably reply, we love Houston
use to be loud noises got our attention
but now the rings and dings
has cured attention defecit

Dreaming a dream
tom krutilla Sep 2016
In the depths of dreaming my body fails to awaken
My eyes race back and forth
Like a camera trying to capture every for the brain to rearrange
I can or can't feel my heartbeat
I wake up in a sweat but why
My body aches as if I ran a marathon
I need fluids to replenish my muscles
My brain surely would appreciate that
As I rise to make sure everything's in place
I look at you and smile it was not a dream just reality
I'll kiss you gently relive this dream

The sun sets early on the eve of fall
The shadows seem longer then long
Cool winds whisper, tuck us in at night
The leaves grip loosens from branches
Flutter silently at nite in unrehearsed dances
In the morning, create a colorful site
The mind wanders to hybernation mode
Winter will come soon, to tame the soul
And blanket the land in ****** white

is it true that there is light at the end of the tunnel
or good things come to those who wait.
what goes around comes around, what does that mean
or just wait, things will turn around for you.

are they just empty words, sayings to keep me going
and where am i going without you. your long pause
says it all.

do you remember when i touch you, and you quivered
do you remember when i looked into your eyes and you smiled
do you remembered when i kissed your neck and your knees buckled
do you remember you said i love you to me

i know now you got to go, and leave me in your wake
but please do me one thing and don't forget me
for good things come to those who wait.

Musical fantasy
tom krutilla Sep 2016
The charm of the piano scales
Awaken the morning from night
As the flute and its butterfly sound
Flutters in the Suns warm sunlight
The clarinets jazzy phrases awaken
Our senses as the bass notes rumble
Shaking our bones apart
The cellos sad and lonley laments
say retreat
Yet high above violins tug at the heart
The glory of a new days anticipation
And the uncertainties it may bring
Let the music in our step and mind
Create the perfect song and hold off
Insanity till it's the moons time

Whats in a poets mind
tom krutilla Jan 2019
The tales of lore abound
were arrogant lies are found
measured by a length of time
subliminal messages we do find

go ahead, cast the birds
against the bees
for the rains will leave
dry, the empty seas

and the stars will not twinkle
as lovers kiss
for their hearts that beat
seem to go amiss

suspect every word
for that truth or falsehood
behind every door
are just tales of lore

then dance upon the new green
of spring
inhale the freshness that it brings
their, the slumber of arrogant lies
are found
decaying, as the newness of renewal
abound

Beggars plea
tom krutilla Nov 2017
I am walking with
a fools pace
trying to catch you
before its to late
as you slam the door
in my face

Like a beggar, I fall
to my knees
scrounging for a morsel
of forgiveness I seek
it's ok to taunt and chuckle
at me, I am both hopeful and weak

But the half moon of love
in the night sky
shows me I am incomplete
as I realize
that I want to make us whole
before the sunrise

newest of days
tom krutilla Aug 2014
though you cannot say, how you feel today
let these words try to sway
when the sunset sinks away
the last time I saw you
was first time I fell for you
the first words you spoke to me
was the second time I believed
these shallow waters of love and life
wont sooth the hearts enduring blight
it begins with us, hand in hand
back to the past were it all began
can we rewrite history, we sure can try
if only for a moment, yet never say goodbye
so if you want to say, what you feel today
perhaps my words did sway
you to start our newest of days

the dreams I have of you and I
lasso my heart every night
no struggle or show of might
just surrender to your inner lite

each word holds my senses
a choir of angels sing aloft
my love for you relentless

for you
tom krutilla Nov 2017
when you see yourself
in some distorted mirror
what appears, you cannot
figure

by the fire
melt away your numbness
find your desire
as you fall asleep
your grin, at your peak
I'll watch over you
wonder what you dream

oh the tales of deception we weave
with words of love, only to recede
our faces beam with wrinkle smiles
hiding the history of countless lies

has the years eroded our feelings
in search of new days and meanings
does our love for each other, matter
is it time for it to be put out to pasture

that sparkle in the eyes, slowly fizzle
dampen by lifes endless drizzle
yet we still hold on to each other
hoping there's more than this, together

Uniqueness
tom krutilla Aug 2017
Carry away this moment
what you see and feel
cup it in your hands
mold it to your uniqueness
empower you to believe
let the external voices
that whisper what you need
fade into their wonderlands
they are not your consciousness
you are what you feel and see
only to truly believe

stare into my eyes, as my hands roam
over your soft skin
NO NEED to whimper or think
as our breaths, in rhythm, begin

slowly I'll kiss every spot, beholden to me
as your heart races, to my tease

every sweet drop of nector from your pores
only makes me hunger for more
for I sip each drop, and swallow you
as your fingers dig deep, your mind now askew

such tension of your body, I know your ready
just one more lick, as I hold your head steady
shall I stop now, just to tease
no, I think this is a good time, for your release

remember
tom krutilla Jul 2014
go ahead my dear, reach back to the
past, if it comforts you
remember those bits and pieces
that made you smile
as you stare out into the distant
realize those times are gone
they have hitched a ride on that
memory train
that slowly fades away
yet trust yourself on your futures
path
let the colors illuminate your eyes
smell the scent
of confidence that invigorates you
move forward and embrace you

never a rewrite
tom krutilla Jun 2015
a blank piece of paper and my mind settles in
to write you the perfect love song, but were to begin
shall I say your rose color lips, are perfect for your voice
and when you speak, my senses erupt, I have no choice

shall I write of your beauty, and all that it brings
from the melting winter snow, to the rebirth of spring
so sturdy I feel, when your aura surrounds me
like the roots of the mighty oak tree

the sensual words you whisper in my ears
weakens my knees, almost to tears
that playful laughter, when you taunt me
you think your in control, just wait and see

for the notes of love I have for you
are never a rewrite, always a true first draft
they spill out of me, never to be altered
just like this silly song, always forever

every night when I try to sleep
the rap on my door never cease
the ghost of the memories

never ending, constantly begin
never ending, constantly begin
never ending, constantly begin
never ending, constantly begin

tom krutilla Sep 2014
we were like two ships on the open sea
we drifted into each other's path
the horizon grew bright, the sea calmed
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 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
242 · Nov 2018
One more time
tom krutilla Nov 2018
Shall I whisper in your ear
or will that flood them with tears
will my breath conjure up
memories you held so dear

and it's one more time
on this merry-go-round
riding with the horses
and laughing with the clowns
listening to the music
thinking of our prime

shall we dance upon the sidewalks
of our memory lanes
as our feelings drip down the sewers
of love lost in vain

and it's one more time
on this merry-go-round
riding with the horses
and laughing with the clowns
listening to the music
thinking of our prime

No,I think we shall release ourselves
our magnetic energy, has lost it's attraction
we probably never added up, anyway
when you added a new one and I was the subtraction

so there will be no more riding
on this merry-go-round
nor riding with the horses
and laughing with the clowns
there is silent now, no more
music of our prime
its funny how life erodes time

this path
tom krutilla Aug 2014
as I walk amongst this silent path
hundred roses lined pretty in a row
the dew on their petals, are teardrops
from my eyes
each step taken, is a memory long ago
precious time remembered, heavy hearts
slow the pace
wishing all along I would catch a glimpse
a smile and a wink to satisfy my soul
yet the fragrance of the roses
is all that is left, to let me know
you are still here
so I'll say hello, as I always do
knowing you walk this path with me
always guiding me to you
you are part of my heart I won't
let leave
239 · Sep 2016
I love you
tom krutilla Sep 2016
My three words have frighten this time
So retreat to that wilderness in your mind
Were its vast and secluded devoid of time
When you peek at me from under your
Guarded rock
Your fragile emotions add more building blocks
Remember the ground won't crumble when I'm near
I'm here to coax you relieve all fear
You know I'm not a Jekyll or. Hyde
I'm the constant your guiding light
And these three words I want to say
Every night

Salty tastes of memories
tom krutilla Sep 2016
A tear drops down the redden cheek
That salty taste that invades the lips
Are bitter sweet the mind wanders
The body grows weak
The memories of the voice talk in unison
To decipher them seems exhausting
Each left a scar with words spoken
Time to salve the wounds start the healing
This blender of life stirs emotions
Some are of a succulent taste
Others are bitter in need of sweetening
But all need love to soothe the commotions

Helpless
tom krutilla Sep 2016
The last strands of sunlight captures the lines
Peering at that perfect body in sheer silkness
Perfection in motion
That Sutle glance and inviting smile
Weakens the knees, subdued by medusas eyes
Try to resist to late, turned to stone
Helpless she chisels me to her desires
Smooth the rough edges my voice silent
Her fingers smooth her moisture over me
Trying to scratch my way out, she teases with delight
Those sensual eyes, are my demise
Oh you wicked one, when will you mercifully end
Then the sly smile appears, but not without one last lick
As she slithers up to me blanket in hand
Our bodies entertained ,I feel her smile all over me
And with a tandem sigh and a last sensual gasp there's a silent goodnight

Mr Tom's observation
tom krutilla Nov 2017
let them be children
let them be friends
for they don't see colors
of one's skin

let them chatter and laugh
talk of what matters to them
oblivious, one hopes
from the adult's sins

let them be innocent, for
many sunsets
let their curious eyes
be always open
let us foolish and bitter adults
recognize our time has past
fill them with our knowlege
we send

with sweet intent, I shall coax a smile
with titilating words and a face awry
for such beauty should not be deprived
of ridding the angst left inside

these foolish gestures of a fool, seem insane

for those glowing eyes and purt lips be not contained
and allow us to admire the canvass of colors you paint
remain

song

Into the night, once again
when the moment
the song begins
and the notes bend the emotions
separate the days commotions

all the lyrics take us on a journey
as if its telling our story
seduced by the rhythm, the mind
defenseless
as the tingling tones, needle the body
senses
close the eyes and the world disappears
till were ready for it to reappear
when the song ends, feeling exhausted
and spent
let it play over again, from beginning
to end

don't worry bout me, as I pass away
your passion of sorrow, as I lay dead
is noted, not believable, but noted
as your heartfill tears, seem genuine
your left hand, wipes them away

looking up at you, I wish I could smile
seeing the guilt you must feel
wondering, if all you put me through
would it change if I was resurrected

but souls like you, are common
shallow beings, ******* off the love
the ones that trusted you, are discarded
like dust in the wind, you'll plant your
seed, cultivate the newbees, who have
no clue

It seems so long ago
Yet just a whip of time
When your tounge browsed
Around my lips
You did that to tease me
To weaken me to a puppet state
The only thing I can do
Is hold your hips and let those seductive eyes and sensual breath
freeze me
And with a smile and a coaxing nod
Are bodies entwine
All the oohs and Ahhs provide passion
As I take another sip

she entered my life
with a quick glance
and a seductive look away

oh, that's not fair
i have enough on my mind
for you to invade

before your vision skirmishes
with my heart
i need to remember" it was a glance made"

but like the Mona Lisa
it's embedded in my thoughts
and tonight is a good place
for dreams to start
