My Dear Poet
Sitting on the side
of the eclipse
we’re hanging off it’s edge
I’m thinking of you too
dangling off your ledge
I’ll be counting
to number three
and then, I will let go
So I can catch you if you fall
if you count on me
and follow

Do you see
what I see?

Do you see
A friend in
me?

Am I
What you want
me to be?

Am I
enough for you
to be heard
or to be seen?

Is there anything
wrong with me,
if so will you
tell me?

Am I green
or am I grey?

Am I
good enough
for you to stay,
or will you
leave me astray?
Reverting back
To childish games
Retaliatory
Crazy claims
That I’m to blame,
You’re not at fault
Within your pride
You still exalt
Delusional
Not worth your salt
Destructive tendencies
Must halt
Across the hall
Your stride aloof
Above your head
I’ve kept this roof
And all I get
Is more vindictive
Actions, but take care
To listen
To the sound
Of my not caring
All I hear is your
Despairing
Barely can afford to eat
So back into your room
Retreat

Laid a path, only for you to leave
Won my heart, only for you to bleed
I saw blood through your sleeve

Set a trap, watching you fall in
Grabbed a mirror, only to catch you starin’
If love was a sin, i’d be willing

To bring a knife to a gun fight
Bow and arrow, instead of missiles
If the ****** weapon was me
It’ll prove love can be guilty
To break you out yet still keep you alive
Your getaway ride would be a tandem bike
If your alibi was me
It’ll still prove love can be guilty.

people ask me; have you seen angels
and my reply is always "YES" ...
I have seen Angels
in the shape of her Love


people ask me; have you seen Evil
As I slowly took a deep breath I reply "YES" ... I have seen Evil in the shape of people who make a lovable person feeling unlovable,
When in deed they deserve a deep and unrelenting love.

So yes, I’ve seen evil!


Speak love and leave her humble
To be loved and understood for exactly who you are is one of the most powerful things you could possibly experience...
free as the blowing wind
  naked in your dorm room
  where the light will bend
  watch us lost on our moon

  it feels like the first time
  but I'm leaving tomorrow
  no reason and no rhyme
  off to Boston no sorrow.

The last time that you held me
I could feel the ticking time.
Now I’ll only have the memories
In melodies and rhyme.
The last time that you kissed me,
A tear dripped from my eye
For the ever fleeting moments
Leading up to our goodbye.

My Dear Poet
Today I forgot
the very thing I lost
I forgot I lost it
I forgot what it was

Tomorrow I found
in my memory tossed
what was not there
where all along
it never was
What M.C.Escher is to Art
poetry can be

My Dear Poet
Pins upon my pillow
puncturing my brain
Sprinkling out my dreams
like sleeping in the rain
Flowing out my nightmares
Rivers run in my bed
Swimming in my dreaming
Plugging holes in my head
My mattress is floating
My soul is sinking slow
Down the river drowning
and in my dreams, I row…row… row…
