If I had but one original thought to say
guess I'd be, I love you in everyway
but I was chasing the shadows of love today
each one getting longer,in the dusk of day

nightfalls, I am thrown into this abyss
wanting the new, remembering what I miss
all that came before me, seems like a myth
discard them to my empty hearts pit

my memories invade my pathetic senses
as if your that historical artifact, to be found
If I can dig deep, sweep away the timeless dirt
wash it till its anew, display it once again
perhaps, this time, it can withstand another
jouney with me
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
tom krutilla Feb 2014
I wrote this song for you, I'ts not pretty or blue
I'ts full of the lovely words I have for you
the timing and rhythm flows like your life
a  melody so sweet, meant to ease your strife
with the hope when you close your eyes
and set to dream, tell your sadness goodbye
so when the morning light shines through
I will always be with you

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
tom krutilla Jan 2015
oh, young robin, your daily apperance
I await
upon the rail, singing to the morning sun
and the newness of the day
stretch out your sleepy petals, beautiful rose
absorb the dew, capture the sunlight
as your fragrance lingers, for me and those
who've waited for you, from winter's night
the frozen piles that lay upon the corners
are dusted *****, the purest ****** white
melt away, to the dismay of winters mourners
the fragrance of spring, stimulates the mind
with each solo the robin sings
and each day the sun rises higher, we find
the warmth to start our new beginnings
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
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
tom krutilla Nov 2017
we'll build a moment
create an explosion
melt the ice between us
our toes will wade
in waters hence
shock us to our senses
fall to our knees, embrace
and breathe
nothing else matters, no needs
except our selfish pleas
tom krutilla Sep 2016
The chill of the wind blows with a heavy heart tonight
I try to shutter it out yet it still leaks through
Ashes from the fireplace scattered amongst the floor
Alone again with moisten eyes
Yet I am not ready to say goodnight
The night eyes want to tell more
As I listen there's nothing new
Just a memory of a kiss goodbye
So I crop the grass make it neat
There's no need for water my tears
Provide plenty
I can hear you chuckle when I try to rise
But if rather fall forward to you
Then be upright alone trying to dodge
Life
tom krutilla Jan 2017
is it not the way it goes
that everyone knows
how to live your life

ride that ferris wheel of life
get stuck at the top
a breathtaking site
all the possibilites
a utopia of delight

and when the ride ends
and your grounded
when you walk away with
that tear in your eye
know i'm your constant light

that beam to guide you
through your nights
and with each turn of
your ride i'm always
in your sight

the only cornucopia
of your life's delight
tom krutilla Oct 2014
I think I shall sit upon my finest chair
but first sweep away the rubble
of emotional ash
yes, this feels better, a clearer mind now
so I can dabble in unintellectual thoughts
glass of red wine, sip gently, settle in
anticipating the silly grin
thinking of the why question, and the what
if, roll the ball down the alley, oops
a curve and a miss
do I anser the chirping robins calls
hardly, in what language, do they reply
the fog settles in now, a blanket of fine mist
for the demons and ghost to play in
i'm just  an obsever of this nightly show
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
tom krutilla Jan 2019
Hello old friend, it's to hear
from you again
Me, I'm still mending my hearts
fences, from were this all began

Okay, so how long has it been
Let me pull out the letter, that you sent
Yes, I still kept them, a reminder
of what was then

You look tired and haggard
guess you new got old
What shall I do for you
My hearts not that bold, anymore

I wondered how long it would take
For you to realize your mistake
but like shifting sands that blow
in all directions
history can never repeat even
with corrections
tom krutilla Feb 2014
oh you, old man winter, you have peeled off all my layered clothing
your frozen fingers caress my skin, with a blowing wind and a grin
you must enjoy the tears you cause me, as they freeze upon my cheek
and you chuckle as you watch me shiver the fluids from my nose
each muscle seems to shrink, with the thining of my blood
my veins labor to keep up the flow, trying to reach my tingling toes
but I have danced with you for many years, and I know your steps
and I will wait you out until the fair maiden of spring arrives

relenting to the submission of her smile, makes me weak of mind
all my thoughts and senses are obscured by the vision of her
just being there in front of me, not knowing what else she's offering

her tenderness of touch, the warmth of her fingers, secure my heart
upright, when doom seems upon me

and when i fall, will she catch me in her dreams
hold me and let me glide amongst her breeze
as she whispers to the cosmos to wait for their reply
only then can we be truly one

Underneath the casual talks
are semmetrys of all of us
the hurt and joy, pain and glory
such is the human story

there's always a rough ride
up and down, yet a smooth ending
we exit the ride, wait for His gentile
HAND
glance up, for they are waiting
saying "join us in His promise land
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
tom krutilla Oct 2016
A drop of moisture flows slowly down
Her sculpted nose
Enters her sensual mouth barely parted
And red as a ****** rose
My arms sturdy as pillars her fingers grasp
As I enter her rythm starts
Eye to eye we photograph each move
To decorate the walls of our hearts
There's barely a whimper no need to compromise
Only silent sighs
Exhaustion sets in my pillars have collapsed
The brute and the goddess have taken
What they needed this might
tom krutilla Jul 2016
there are many on the ground
the beautiful bullets have found
in an instant, there were smiles
in an instant, only piles

lying bleeding, underneath the piles
asking, how can one be so vile
did the sermon of hate corrupt you
or was your mind, a reciever of fools

the talk of fear and the coming rapture
if you turn the page, there's another chapter
perhaps you should ask Him did you make
a mistake
let us all know His answer, for heaven sake

there are many on the ground
the beautiful bullets have found
in an instant, there were smiles
in an instant, only piles
tom krutilla Oct 2015
another bullet, another hole
drips lifes blood, from the soul
another body on the streets
surrounded by wailing screams
yellow ribbons, a crime scene
wash the stain, down the drain
clean this spot, hope never again
walk past, just a glance,in a trance
focus on us, trying to advance
sorry it happen, life,s a chance
the safety of home, in our sites
survived the day, dodging meteorites
the morning offers up, the sun bright
today the day change has come
that's what I prayed for last night
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
tom krutilla Apr 2014
should I open the door
or answer my phone
will they take me away
are they listening
small flying machines, silent
so high up
all I did was say hello
I'm the target now, don't speak
are hand gestures ok
or perhaps lip sync, no they know
mental torment, fear, armageddon
all I did was say hello
tom krutilla May 2015
looking down at you, laying there, curled up
weak, your energy exhausted
slowly cover you with your favorite blanket
brush your hair from your eyes
kiss your forhead, let that comfort smile
appear

then I'll snuggle my arms around you
lay my head on your chest, listen to you breathe
as our quiet thoughts of loving experience
take over our dreams

in the morning, as we face each other
our eyes open together, smile, a satisfying
hello
your gaze hypnotizes me, steal my senses
when you whisper '' lets do it again''
tom krutilla Dec 2013
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.

see the hills gently roll
feel the grass softly flow
beneath their roots
silent stories never told
ours is not to say where we lay
He request us His own way
we can ponder come what may
till our thoughts subside end of day
tom krutilla Aug 2014
25% of me loves your smile
25% of me loves the beauty of your eyes
25% of me feels your tender touch
25% of me melts into your arms
100% of me surrenders to you
tom krutilla Feb 2015
I dont want to be the one that completes you
I want  to be the one that feeds your mind
with the questions to my answers

you don't need a second opinion of yourself
when your first opinion will do just fine
don't allow the insecure ones, tarnish you

for their eyes are hollow, their heart, souless
the jealous rage inside them, holds contempt
of such perfection
tom krutilla Nov 2013
her smile makes you want to know her more
her eyes draw you in to her world
her gentile touch soothe your aching heart
and her voice forever eched in your mind

the aura that surronds her, draws you in
a soft glow, yet a feeling of love everlasting
her movments are smooth and true
like the perfect poem

laying next to me, i hear the rhythm of her breath
timely in beat, soothing to the soul
her eyes draw you into her world
her smile makes you want to know her more
tom krutilla Mar 2014
words flow from the spigot of my mind
as they empty into the drain
only the residue remains
before they dry up, I'll pen these
thoughts of you
in a hurry state I'll rearange them
making the perfect sentence
then rearange them again
making another perfect sentence
but as the last word evaporates
around the drain, I realize that
the only perfect sentence is
I LOVE YOU
tom krutilla Sep 2014
remember the sadness you bare
hallow eyes, distant stares
words coherant, then to scared
hoping for someone to care
listening in a diminutive state
gathering the pieces from your plate
thoughts query, am I too late
to rescue, this ill concieve fate
tom krutilla Mar 2014
yes, you are, I proclaim, the love of my life
not the spirits of wondering thoughts
but in the flesh, warm, human touch
oh how I quiver, as your breath tickles my neck
your sturdiness holding the limpness of my body
seeming to know that my strength, tho fleeting
is resurected with just one kiss from you
your whispered words are from a magical land
those images dancing in my head, teasing my eyes
the mixing of colors and glorious sounds are too much
then, as we wrap ourselves around each other
we know our love will never cease
tom krutilla Nov 2017
saw a puffy cloud at dusk
it seemed the forehead was large
with a wiley smile, smirk
gliding along the sky

then suddenly turns
with a wink of an eye
it waves goodbye

it's fall now, time for a change
the cool of the day
gives way to the low sun's play
as it's light fades away

does the change of the seasons
enhance my reasons
to ponder what may come

as the songs of the insects
dissipate
in winter, I will tally up their sum
tom krutilla Oct 2016
Joely Ann if you can
See the spot were I stand
It's here I wait for you command
Joely Ann if you can
Don't tell me you found another man
Cause my green grass is covered in sand
Joely Ann if you can comeback
I'm waiting for the love I lack
Im tired and bored counted all the cracks
Joely Ann if you can
Make a stand don't be bland
It's either me or the boys in the band
tom krutilla Mar 2017
the cold absorbs my skin
only your whispered breath within
can warm this near fatal heart
of memories since we're apart

I watched those eyelids twitch, dreaming
what fantasy you might be seeing
but I woke up to reality
the erasing of our legacy
tom krutilla Dec 2016
Shall I fall upon my sword
plunge it deep
or conjure up a whirlpool
swallow everything
shall my breath, ease to the wind
set fire with no meaning
does my gentile caress
of a fallen leaf
leave an imprint to believe
and as it fades
only a shadow I see
tom krutilla Mar 2014
In the twilight of the day
sits a dusty old soul
bent over
the years have taken their toll
his bony fingers, tossing pebbles
watch them sink, to the bottom
of the gentile flowing stream
counting backwards
in hopes to recapture his youth
time is a constant, life has an ending
and this pile of pebbles, that dam the stream
perhaps it will delay the end
if only for one more day
tom krutilla Dec 2014
shall we go now on this journey, once per year
let our footsteps engrave this earth ten fold
left are prints of who we are, who we once were
perhaps we will know, when our dreams are
at peace with Him

what have we done in this life He has given us
such hurt we have inflicted, such love we absorbed
has the joy I bestowed upon a stranger, enlighten
perhaps we will know, when our dreams are at
peace with Him

our faults are many,our good deeds many more
as we hope the balance favors us more
perhaps we will know, when our dreams are at
peace with Him

my god may not be yours,  for beliefs are personal
but each conversation, is on our own terms
we will take the scolding as He sees fit
and feel the good we have done for Him
our final question we ask, are always followed
by another question, the answers have questions
that have answers to that question

perhaps we will know when our dreams are at
peace with Him

for the brightest of light in the night
will guide us on this journey
one footstep at a time
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
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
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
tom krutilla Mar 2015
go ahead my dear, shed your cocoon
for the sweet scent of spring is upon us
the snow has melted, the roots now sip
as the fingers of green reach for the warmth

and in this new beginning, may I just say
that I am tired of being in the way of myself
In retrospect, I should have use common sense
not let my impulses push you away
for that was the devils voice inside my head

the burden of love you have for me
were the whispers I heard in the winter winds
and now the robins solo, has given more clarity

you are still the music that feeds my soul
you are the voice that soothes these aching bones
your fingers play the chords, that vibrate my heart
as this ghostly feeling haunts these lonley nights
tom krutilla Nov 2013
though time has past since we saw each other
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
tom krutilla Jul 2015
the darkness of this road seems endless
headlight guide me through quiteness
songs on the radio are about us
of lost love and trust

was it I who smothered you too much
with morning notes of "I love you '' and such
did boredom of me set in too soon
when you realized you need something new

encountering the rising sun, the brightest of day
warmth of her rays, as I start to reengage
you stand by the road, trying to hitch a ride
to set up a new man, and his ultimate demise
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
tom krutilla Sep 2016
Lying amongst the dunes
Gazing at the night sky
The darken palm of glittering eyes
Etch in patterns from the moonlight
Envision a bay lined with tall ships
Heading out on smooth seas
They disappear swallowed by earths lips
May their journey be fruitful full of peace
A light streaks across the sky
Seems to rearrange the stars
Yet just an illusion seen from afar
The heart drops in puddles stain the sand
Eyes closed memories release
Details are vivid when they began
But the truth of aging has skip s beat
The record of life still spins grooves wear out
The needle needs replacing every once and awhile
And when the grooves are finally muddle
And the needle thrashes about
Let us join the etch patterns on the darken Palm
And be a new set of glittering eyes
From the moonlight
tom krutilla Sep 2014
as you sculp me to your liking
trim the rough edges smooth
crush the shavings to fine dust
brush them to the corner
to make me perfect, will fill the room

then when this trophy is polished
to the brightest sheen, insert that
magic coin, so I utter the right words
for your reputation you need to uphold

this charade I'll play, my heart is yours
I'll play the fool, in hopes you love me

but too much brightness, can blind
reaching out, confuse the mind
when dullness sets in, erodes the shine
your yawns come frequent, start to pine
for the next subject in your long line

remember this, as you discard me
the vengence is all mine
tom krutilla Apr 2015
the pores of my skin secrete love when you touch me
leaving puddles of ****** beneath my feet
as you hold me in my weaken state
your medusa eyes, stone me into place
now sculpt me to your desires
smooth the rough edges to your liken
polish me to your sense of perfection
as long as you love me, feel free to create
tom krutilla Nov 2013
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
