Time


There are times in our lives,
There are days we despise;
But we keep on moving on.
Yeah we keep on moving on.


Though we try to get by;
Though we hurt, we survive
And we keep moving on,
By getting ourselves high.


If we need some more time;
If we learn how not to die.
When time is not on our side,
We will know it’s time to say goodbye.

Love with love


Fuse two hearts, create love;
Build yourselves a brighter future by speaking from your soul.
Eloquence is unnecessary; speak from the heart and it will be good.
This is your last chance, the last dance; do not just let them go.


Offer a sacrificial heart to the God’s of Love
And anything could happen.
Risk it all for the thrill of what could be and you could find someone.
We are all searching for happiness
And we all need a little bit of passion;
Take a chance before you don’t have another, soon they will be gone.


You are not alone in your desire to have them love you;
There are a billion possibilities,
So maybe you will not make a connection;
But if you do, then you will forever be linked and in tune.
So show your thoughts, in the only way you can;
Put into practice your desire and create it from your own notion.


Imagine what could become
And not what could go wrong.
You could be left dumb,
Or they could leave you just feeling numb,
But to feel something other than regret,
You have to take a chance and get these words off your chest.
You do not know, until you have a go
And maybe, who knows?  
The two of you can walk off together…


Hand in Hand…
Heart to Heart…
Love with Love…
Forever and ever.

**** me with your love


Show me your creation,
Written down in black ink.
Let me see your darkest thoughts;
I need a place to sink.


I want a place to disappear;
There really is no escape.
If I cannot have someone to love,
Then I will no longer fight my fate.


Love is out there somewhere to find.
All I have to do is look with open eyes,
But I am blind to anyone who could be nice,
Because of the tears I have cried, so many times.


So cut me with your truthfulness,
I want this pain to hurt.
I am no longer playing just for jest,
Put me six feet in the dirt.

Bee Happy


With Blondebee Humble was always searching,
Forever looking for the answers;
But with Bee Bee it was easy learning,
He already knew she was his enchantress.


At last Humble knew what it was to bee loved.
Bee Bee, he knew, was truly good.
Life seemed so easy now with her heart.
He couldn’t beelieve the struggle had been so hard.


Every day they grew with each other.
First came the kiss and now they were lovers.
Forever bound to love eternal.
Epics would bee written in endless journals.


Humble wrote poetry; Bee Bee wrote stories.
Each of them spoke of despair and glories.
They loved to tell tales and in each other found home.
They were two parts of one heart; no longer alone.


Their journey together had just beegun,
But already had passed many moon’s and sun’s,
And at the end of each day they lay together.
They fell asleep holding hands, like his father and mother.


Humble thought back to when he had first thought about love.
Never beelieving it could bee so good,
But at last he had found what his parents had.
In Bee Bee he had found a love that he knew would last.

My nameless love


I could fall deeper and deeper into your eyes for a lifetime.
As I stare into you, I feel truly alive.
With each passing moment,
We are each only wasting such precious time.
We should be together, we exchange glances,
We dance around each other’s feelings, acting like we are alright…


…but all is still wrong, if I have never spoken those words;
I must confess my soul speaks volumes, never seen, never heard
And inside all my thoughts I keep finding your image.
Allow me to love you and I will forever see your love as a privilege.


Let love’s choir raise the roof!  
The two of us could have found somebody to be true to.
But with love there are no definite answers,
Until your hand has been shown;
Has your heart already been enraptured?


With breathless words, I try to speak.
With forgotten gestures, I remain so weak.
With distant wishes, it is always you that I seek,
But still I am this geek; blessed are the meek.
Please share with me what it is you foresee.


Can you picture me holding your hand,
As the world moves all around us, a loss to all plans?
A break in the code,
A glitch in the system.
Lovers swear an oath which has no need to be written.
These promises are to be made, for love never truly fades.
Is this real love or not?  Are we lips to the grave?
We could become all we each could ever need.
My maiden, oh so fair.  Do you too need to be saved?


Let us each shout!  “I want you bad!”
Give me the gift of true love, the likes of which I have never had.
A love that lasts; an unbroken pact.
An oath or bond never broken;
Cure me of my sad.


Light up my heart with your star, set fire to my passion.
I am burning for you, my theatrical attraction.
My muse, my actress, my play on words…
My nameless love.
Let Aa be the bee to your bird.

Angels guide me


Sat in a hospital waiting for God;
I need some help, to pick me up.
I’m going crazy, I’ve lost the plot;
I’ve lost my way, without your love.


Stood before me are a cleaner and his twin brother;
A serene presence glows around them both.
They speak peaceful words, within the mundane
And I immediately feel comforted by the holy ghost.


They talk to each other and I listen intensely,
To every word looking for an answer.
There is no-one else in the waiting room
And in them I see Him or Her.


The God up above gave them religious names
And I believe they are here when I needed to be saved.
They mop up the floor like Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty
And I see in them both, something Heavenly.


When I am at my lowest and in need of some help,
They appeared before me and eased all my problems.
They showed me Heavens gates, when I was living in Hell,
Now I am sane once more, but angels should not be forgotten.

Soulmate


You are cool, that is why I am a fool.
I want you to be happy, with or without me.
If you are already in love, then all is good,
Because all I know is, if you trust,
Another soul, you will never grow old.
You will be forever young at heart
And all because you are loved and in love; so…


…If you are alone, then that is unnecessary;
You have always got me if you are in need,
Of someone to listen, or someone to speak,
Or maybe you would just like some company as you enjoy a cup of tea?
One sugar for me please.


So how are you on this glorious day!?
No clouds in the sky will be bringing us rain,
So everything will be ok.


Why so glum, chum?
You should smile again,
I liked it so much the last time I saw it
And for you to be unhappy is such a shame,
When really there is no need; or is there?
I do not know, but I would like to understand,
If you would care to share.


Here, have a biscuit.
What time is it?
It’s time you told me what it is, that I can do to make you smile.
You say you are in need of three wishes?
Then do not worry my friend, I have a genie on speed-dial.
Let me just give him a quick ring…

(Ring, ring…ring ring.)

It seems he is not answering.
I guess he is off listening,
To other people wishing,
They could be as beautiful as you are.


Ah, there it is!  
That smile of yours,
That I had been waiting for.
I knew it was in there somewhere.
Like I always say “You will always have someone,”
Who would like to care,
If only you would let me.
Excuse me.
“Hello?  Sorry I am busy.  Call me back in about sixty years.”
Sorry about that; some people will just not hear.


I only waste my time on beautiful souls;
Those cheating people, I leave alone,
Because they do not light up my life like you do.
So, anyway, tell me more about you…


What interests you?  And what do I need to become,
To be somebody that you could maybe lean upon with love?
No promises, I only wish for it,
But you know what ‘he’ is like; never listening,
But anyhow, how can I improve to become what you want?
What do you need from me?  What must be done!?
I will sit here for a moment and give you time to think it through…

Could you ever feel for me, what I will always feel for you?


Oh, you do not know,
Well then, let me illuminate your mind;
Open your eyes wide and read my soul
And hopefully one day,
Your soulmate, you too shall find.

Lost soul.


Time is screaming; wish I was dreaming.
I am fading and you will only forget about me.
No more singing, no more playing;
No more laughing…I never took the time to live.
We fade away if we live as ghosts;
Our empty souls leave us without hope.


A hollow knight’s armour; a book without contents;
Counting years; too soon to reach the end.
The sky no longer has a sun and I am without love;
I have seen the full stop and I have been left emotionally stunned.


Until this point, there was no point.
Only now do I wish I could always make the right choice.
All my choices used up; all cures do not exist.
My voice has been lost;
Words upon the wind…
No exit strategy.


(C)2017 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.

Passion.


Do the things you love; they are the things that matter.
The things you feel passionate about,
Will bring you true happiness and all else will fade.


If you have to fake it,
Then it will not last forever.
If it’s real you will know and you will need it
And you will never find anything better.
Be passionate about something,
Because you only get one life;
So seize the day.

Fading away


Mourn me when I am gone;
Remember me as someone who lived his life, the only way he knew how.
Think of me when you sing a song;
Remember me, when I am gone with the clouds.


The sun is setting on another lifetime;
It’s time to die, it is my dying time.
Time is fading away and I welcome death;
For in my final breath I will discover what comes next.

Desert Dog


Lying in the sun like a desert dog;
I have a glass in one hand and my lover in the other.
Hand in hand we lie here, telling truths under the sun.
So peaceful here, like it has been for years;
How things change with time, but never my lover.


She remains at the very centre of my gargantuan heart;
She has always been here and I hope here she stays.
Her words are like flames that caress my soul in the dark.
We have no need for words in this moment,
Because we are happy here, at a quarter to midday.
Summer is still my favourite time;
I hate the cold, I love this love life!


Broken into pieces are the daydreams of peace that I had;
I said what I said, there ain’t no turning back.
Live a life so full of regrets;
Never do a single thing that I have ever said.
Procrastinate, every single day;
Everything I say is only ever said in jest.


“Less is more”; her smile has disappeared from her face.
We are no longer laughing together because of our liquid state.
I will have to sell my soul to her, to pave the way,
To healing her mood and seeing her smile once again.


Burning in the sun over there is a memory,
I lost a vital piece of my empathy.
Love could die, given enough time;
Lest we forget that it is all on the line.


So passionate about her, but so drunk on stupidity.
She is the one who I love; now she will not speak to me.
No melody can exist inside this mind,
Without her to assemble,
These jagged edged pieces of a damaged rhyme.
Put us back together with a happier time…

I spilt her wine…
And Everything…
Is not…
Alright.


(C)2017 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.

Peace!


My head is a vase, thirsting for water.
Pour knowledge into my mind for thoughts are forever sought after,
And if all I have to offer,
Is not good enough to impress Heaven’s daughter,
Then raise my soul with every word
And allow me to shout from the rafters,
That I am here to learn!
The every thought that has ever been sought,
And once and for all I have learned all that which can be taught.
I will continue to search for a seer to see more.


A direction forth which leads me through only future doors,
Because all that has passed behind me is no more.
Only forward thinking, chalk written on boards.
No time for a break;
Determination compels me to learn from my mistakes.


There is no time to sit and wait for a changing of the seasons,
For my future is out there,
So I must be out there to find my reason.
I want more and more and why being just ok will never be enough.
I have to improve with each and every book.
I need to be better; better than ever.
Better than average; forward forever.
No backwards step, no time left to rest,
Upon my laurels; remove my flower head.


There is no space left inside my head,
For dreams of romance, that time is dead.
At this moment in time love is a waste of lies,
And worrying about tears that will never dry,
Just leaves me with a hole I cannot close.
Go to Hell, I suppose.


Quit asking; cry a river for me.
You are the star of the century, going cheap.
Watch as I leave you standing there confused.
How could he know the things we do?
I am done waiting on you, I wait no longer;
You are weak, I am stronger.
See you later with a lack of foresight.
No ambitious dreams haunt your nights.


I cannot allow myself to be trapped,
By your meaningless selfish schemes.
I need a way to escape.
I need to follow my dreams.


All the negative words you say are wasted.
I hope the rain destroys all you hold sacred.
Tomorrow beckons; I will learn another lesson;
So treat me badly baby, ‘cause you ain’t got me guessing.

Belief


Metamorphosis; can I really get a witness?
Searching for a loving kiss, waiting here for her lips.
Love makes your face change,
Getting better with age.
Happy days are back again.
The truth is the only way.
What more can I say?


Lover evolution; love’s an institution.
A body lies alone, lacking devotion.
One hand needs a second,
Fates date is pre-beckoned.
Death is always calling,
Tired of always falling.


Fighting the mortal coil,
Hoping to plant in the soil.
Waiting for life to grow.
Trying to hold a precious soul.


Words become pictures,
They could write a story of pure bliss,
But nobody would ever believe in it.
So tell me what I should think.


Faith in the faithless,
Apathy requires less.
This life I lead has been one Hell of a test.
Maybe I’m not ready yet.

Vanished


As I walk through these gates ahead,
I am left, I am left; I am left behind.
In this cold world when there is nothing but regrets,
I fall to my knees to pray, all I can say is why?


As the beauty shines from up above,
I am alone in fields of thorns, waiting on a sign.
In a land of darkness, I am searching for true love,
But there is nothing out there to be found, all the flowers have died.


The roses I carry are wilting away,
The basket I made has holes throughout.
The hope I once had will never find me again
And as I fall I can no longer carry on, there is too much to doubt.


When I look up into the night sky,
All I see is an empty galaxy; we are alone in this life.
A single moon shines down upon me from way up high,
But I am without direction, because I am left broken
And I am without light.


My soul is calling out; wishes are the only words I have left.
I need to find myself a place where only I exist.
This place of humanity is without, all promises, never said.
As the darkness surrounds me I am buried by my regrets.


A haunting voice whispers in the wind
And I can hear the shadows calling my name.
A single whisper that is forever becoming,
Ten thousand voices; echoes remain.


Bones are all I have beneath my skin,
I have ejected all my feelings onto paper.
When the moon disappears behind a black cloud I begin,
To close my eyes, I vanish beneath,
The words that I shouted…into the never.

I choose to YouTube.


When famous people die,
You get to look back fondly at their lives.
You get to see what they accomplished;
You get to read what people write.
You get images never seen before;
You open whole new doors.
You learn the truth and the lies;
All truth is revealed in due course.


When famous people die,
You find out who really deserves to be in ‘Who’s who.’
You remember their contribution to the world
And you wonder; what could I do?
How could I do something to earn that fame, that respect?
You wonder if your life, when you are taken,
Will have had any kind of effect.


When famous people die,
You become nostalgic for a youth long since gone.
When a famous person dies,
You remember them in poetry or in songs;
Or you remember their songs,
Or the movies they made during their life.
When a famous person dies,
Some of them become more famous,
Than they ever did when they were alive.


Remember fame brings you immortality;
So find yourself a way.


Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson;
Kurt, Bowie and Prince.
I really liked them all when they were alive…
I have loved their music since.

Forever together


I promise I will get up the nerve,
And tell her I like… I like her,
Before it is too late;
Because if I don’t I will only regret
And my mate will be taken away.
I will be too late to say we could have been something,
We could have done something, amazing together.
I hope she can resist temptation for just another day.
Hopefully tomorrow I will find a way to say,
I want us to be together forever.

Your wishes


Hey there beautiful; how the Devil are you?
I was just thinking what to do for you.
Is there anything you need?  I will do it for you.
Just tell me what you want and your wishes will all come true.


Anything you want, your wish is my command;
Come take my hand and you will see I am your man.
I belong to you; do with me what you want.
The only thing I ask of you is, please may I have your love?


This poem is to tell you how I feel when I am around you;
When I can’t be with you I can’t stop thinking about you.
I need your love to make me happy
And maybe, who knows?  We could raise a family.


Wishing I could make you better,
Waiting for a change of weather.
We need the sun to bring us together,
Then we can walk off into the sunset forever.


(C)2016 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.

Always I will love you.


Something inside me makes me remember you;
All that I thought I knew, I never knew.
Without you in my arms I’m still lost and blue.
I think I love you…no, I know I do.


Always I will love you, now and forever;
Always I will wish we could be together.
But if forever is too long for our love to last,
Know you were something special to me…more than just lust.


I’ve been dreaming about, you dreaming about me
And in our dreams I see us smiling because our love is real.
Love is a dream that comes true for some, if it is their destiny;
But all the love I have to give you,
Is not enough to show you how I truly feel.


You are everything I wanted and the only woman I can see myself with;
If your love is as true as mine, then we can always be happy.
Always I will love you because you are all that I need.
If you feel the same way about me, then tell me
And I will give you my heart gladly.

Attraction


I wrote you this poem, to share with you my feelings;
To tell you how I feel, to say what I've been thinking.
To open my heart, without fear of rejection;
With a hope in my soul, that you were truly listening.


Since the first time I saw you, at that house in that skirt;
I wished I could give you, what I felt you deserve.
But those things I can't afford, your wounds I cannot heal;
I can only share with you, the way that I feel.


Your smile shows your beauty, like a bright neon light;
Your radiance illuminates, even the darkest of nights.
You laugh at simple things, to simply show me your smile;
You make me believe, all the pain is worthwhile.
It teaches us to become, greater than we once were;
To go back and change our mistakes, it teaches us to learn.


I don't know you, yet I like you and I hope you like me.
I believe I could get from you, all that I need.
Compassion and love and a little understanding;
To repair this broken heart, to start again and to begin.
A new chapter in this book, we call love, life and death;
You make my heart skip a beat, as you take away my breath.


But with love, lust and attraction,
Comes a world of confusion.
Are these mixed signals that I'm seeing?
Could you help me to tune in?
To the way that you feel about me,
Without hurting my soul?
If you don't feel the same;
Then I'll leave you alone.


But I can't live another day,
Without showing you how I feel.
I must know what the future holds,
If it would help then I would kneel
And pray to a God, I believe does not exist.
Ask for some sort of sign and maybe a little kiss.
From this woman stood before me,
With all manner of paths to follow;
To show me where to go and what will happen tomorrow.


Will I awake, to another missed opportunity?
Or will she call me at home, just to say hello to me?
The future is uncertain, but my feelings for her are real;
She could be the one I've waited for, for twenty five years.


I have already thought, of fifty reasons why it cannot happen;
But the reply to each reason is to just keep on dreaming.
Maybe this dream will come true and she will feel the same way;
She will want to give it a try.  She'll go out with me today.


One boy meets one girl and they make a connection;
They both feel the same way, so go out for a drink.
One day to show my good points and not scare her with the bad;
One chance to impress her, I must play my best hand.
They smile all night long and laugh through the awkward silences;
They finish the night, with the tenderest of kisses.


I'll call you tomorrow; we should do this again.
I've had a great night tonight, so I'll pick you up at seven.
We'll go to that restaurant and eat the finest cuisine;
Is this foolishness that I speak, or is it a dream?
We could go see a movie first and later drink at the pub;
Then who knows what could happen,
Maybe one day, we could fall in love.


But don't get ahead of yourself, take things one step at a time;
Get to know each other first, with a bottle of wine.
Then fall asleep on the sofa, laying in each others arms;
Then wake up to the alarm and watch the new days rising sun.

Idea


Dream a nation; take a vacation.
Autopilot does not need direction.
Claim a notion; works a vocation.
Words do not have to have perfect punctuation.


Message in a bottle; totally random.
Chaos Theory.  A hat may not fit.
Ring the chapel bells and then leap on a tandem.
Tyger eyes watch it go by without realizing it.

Beauty


We admire beauty as we revere art;
We seek beautiful things to adorn our homes.
We crave to have an attraction on our arms,
So we can show our success to those who have none.


We want to love beauty;
We want a beautiful love.
We search for something purely pretty enough,
That it makes all else look so dull.


Her face lights up a room every time she smiles;
Her beauty is blinding and my feelings I cannot hide.
Her mind is an ***** that needs stimulation;
Her hair an extension of that undeniable attraction.
Her beauty is on show and it leads her forward;
Wolves whistle when she walks on by
And my thoughts are never spoken and never heard.


I want to see a world that is more spectacular;
More vivid to my eyes.
I want to find a beauty within the vernacular,
So even I can write something beautiful and make myself smile.


I see a beautiful truth inside of your heart;
I hope it wants to leap out and grab hold of my life.
I tell myself it could, to accept the fact that we are forever apart,
Because the thought of never holding you,
Is a tragedy inside my mind.

Life


Everything is pointless; taking nothing in.
Existence is temporary; I do not expect to live.
Only darkness to be found within the dark cloud.
Speechless; silent; broken; down.


First tear in years;
Nobody is here.
Words become truth;
Watch me disappear.
Going, going, gone;
I am the setting sun.


Life in…life out;
I would begin again from the beginning,
If only I knew how.

Shatter the silence


With love there are no answers.
If you aspire to love forever, you will be disappointed;
But if you find the one, you will be given many second chances
And it will feel like you have been in love forever, with each other
And the heart you thought was dead will become reanimated.


A smile can change a life for two separated people.
A connection of the minds is the only search that matters,
For everybody needs to find their equal
And if you do meet them, you will only be able to hear the sound,
Of your two hearts, as together, like a pair of cymbals, they clatter.


Shatter the silence with a misspoken line;
A compliment has a truth hidden inside it for the other person to find.
What’s the worst that could happen?  A little embarrassment?
Nothing will change without taking a chance,
So don’t hide the truth behind avoidance eyes.


Love is the sequel to a movie called lust;
What happens between two lovers can inspire us all.
It will be gone far too soon, but if you have love,
Then you will become immortalized in a memory,
Or inside a picture on a wall.


Desire is the fire that ignites the passion within our soul.
Love is the only thing that matters, so go and be brave!
You cannot ignore it for a life time,
So act on instinct and find love.
The one thing you cannot do is ask me for advice;
For I am alone.  


Do what you think is right
And you will find the happiness I could never attain.
Go forth and multiply
And you will be with someone,
Who would love to give you a hug.

My Everlove.


With your hands over my eyes, I am left to surmise,
That I will never again be alone.
With my soul in your light, I will forever be able to shine,
Because I stand at your side with pride;
My heart has found its home.


When the darkness appears, you banish it all away.
Your breath on my neck, those words that you say,
Allow me to be.
I am waiting on peace.
With your arms around me, my troubles all drift away.


The world fades away, we become one being.
Dreaming of seeing you again;
You give my life new meaning.
You are my reason to work even harder,
To write for longer,
To become stronger;
To become the epitome of me.
The best I can be.
You raise my spirits and release me;
I am free.


You are what I believe in
And when I see you I have to grin.
You force me to smile with your absence of guile.
Only truth spoken, pledges unbroken,
Trustworthy words; breathing emotions.


I want to breathe you into my heart.
I want to inhale your love,
Because I love all that you are…

You shall forever be My Everlove.

My favourite dream.


Even in a daze, I can still picture your face;
Every day, I know I am moving the right way.
Without a doubt, I will never just walk away;
You make my Monday blues, turn into lazy Sunday’s.


Wish to see me and I will be there at your side;
Pray for me, when I have lost my way, from time to time.
When the sun is gone, I will kiss you goodnight;
You are my love, you are my muse and you are my morning sunshine.


If we are using bitter words, we will never advance;
I will speak a beautiful truth to you, if you give me the chance.
I will help you fly so high, if you just hold onto my hand.
If you have the time, I would like to show you my master plan.


You are in all my best memories; you remind me of being happy.
You are a sight for sore eyes and the only one I want to see.
If the world only knew you, they would know my reason to be.
You’re my lover, you’re my beautiful; you are my empathy’s release.


In a mixed up mind, you are my missing jigsaw piece.
I want to keep your love inside my heart;
You make me whole, my perfect fit.
When I am in your arms, I am at my place of peace;
So I will kiss you goodnight and as I do,
You will remain my favourite dream.

In the midnight of our lives.


Through clarity eyes, I find what I am seeking.
Through no desire fall in love, I free myself of necessity.
I once was strong of heart, but now I am a weakling.
Life has always been a struggle,
But I will not let it get the better of me.


In a world without love we would all live without reason.
Freedom of the mind is a journey on a search for enlightenment.
I speak only for myself, expressing the view of one person,
But I wish to become a voice for the voiceless
And say what needs to be said.


Spirits fly through my mind
And they have vanished before they are found,
But they lift me from the ground
And allow me to float inside a cloud.


The certainty of uncertainty, is as sure as calamity.
Think nothing of the compliment I give to you,
It is well deserved and truly
A reflection of your heart
And the love you have shown me with your words.
On this star-crossed Earth, we are doomed to forever serve.


But somehow we survive, late into the nighttime of our lives
And in our midnight hour, we leave this land we have walked upon
And become eternal before God’s eyes.
Heaven takes us in and removes all of our sin.
We win, we are forgiven;
We smile now we are all kin.


Peace, love and empathy shall become our reality;
In the world we dream of, it exists alongside charity.
It becomes the norm; it is written, promised and sworn.
Love is the reason I was conceived;
Love is the reason I was born.


I am an angel, walking with the living
And I love you all.

New line.


I don’t need drugs and alcohol to open up my mind.
I don’t need to tear holes in the sky,
To see what I have lost inside.
I don’t need to crash into the ground to know I need more time.
My poetry grabs hold of me and I exist,
With every new line.

Time is fading away


Time is ticking away from this life;
I can see you getting older before my eyes.
The sun is dying.
What will become of the light that you always shine?


Age waits for no man
And it has overtaken me.
What will become of the lives that we lead?
Winter is coming to take away all other seasons.


Day after day, the years are fading out of existence.
We drifted until now, ignoring the storms that howl behind us.
In a world that is meant to be so joyful,
We are running out of love…


Love always seemed to be in abundance,
But now it is rare to find love.
All that everybody really needs, is love,
Because love makes us happy.
I never did all I could for you
And now I am truly sorry.

Waiting for an angel


Waiting in Heaven for my Angel to arrive.
I hope I wait a long time before my Angel dies;
Before she is brought up to Heaven…
To once more be at my side.

The Best Friend Ever


The way I felt for you transcended ***.
That is something you will always be able to get.
But to me that would not have been enough.
It is your soul I am in love with, not just your body.
You can have *** with anyone;
It was babies I wanted you to have with me.


Your kid will be the coolest of them all.
Your body is the most beautiful.
Your face is a masterpiece,
I could happily get lost inside.
Your thoughts are my nourishment.
I take them all inside me and give back commitment.


I pledge my soul, to my true beloved.
There is and has only eva been one love of my life.
How do I know?  Because I didn’t know then.
Only one girl can make me cry,
Simply at the thought of never seeing her again.


I love you.
I am your friend to the peaceful end.
Until death rips me apart,
Or until you break my heart again.
But if that is your intention,
Then I shall die now alone.


Even if Her love for me is gone,
My love for her shall never end.
Friends until death.
I love you my best friend.

It ain’t heavy Babe


Writing lines so soft they can never be heavy.
Driving along in my Beetle; dreaming about a Chevy.
Time to begin again; getting ready.
Lovin’ ain’t as easy as they all say it is.
Still I’m heading out west, looking for something steady.


Been rolling my whole life through, with love on my mind.
I’ve climbed every hill that stood in my way,
And I sank into every ditch that I could find.
My heart is a heart-seeker, but my lovin’ eyes have been blind.
I believed in the unbelievable; wasted so much time.


Could have been a contender,
If only I had the talent to succeed.
I could have made something of myself,
If only I knew just what to do with this plasticine.
Sang songs of love and sang songs of hate.
It all took every piece of me.
Wrote poems about my every day, every day
And all my nights and in all my dreams,
But still I am left here waiting, praying for her love.
Love is a boulder, upon my shoulders,
And I’m feeling heavy…
Maybe I should do something good.

A poem about football.


Poetry about football *****.
Poetry about love doesn’t.
Poetry about the things you read about in books,
Shows people what you have learned, like
‘The Boring Book of Boredom’.


A dozen couldn’t appease the woman,
Who wouldn’t listen to your wooden words without wisdom.
You King without a kingdom, you really shouldn’t be so stubborn,
But for true love we fall, all of a sudden.

I can’t write


I haven’t written a good poem in ages.
Throw away phone pages, end of messages.
Nothing important to say, but I’m still speaking.
Body is full of words, now all with lame meaning.


Speaking truth, but no longer believing.
Wish I could write the things I am dreaming,
But all that inspiration is lost,
To being bored of forget-me-nots,
That I just do not remember.
My heart feels like December rain.
I want the summer to come back again.


She is gone, the one named love.
Given away like all the drugs.
Now all I have is one big heart.
I am desperate to give it away…but I can’t.

Lost without you


We cried a thousand tears in love;
I had never cried these tears before.
In my youth, everything seemed to be such fun,
But since the end of love, no feeling seems so sure.


So confident of paying the rent;
So sure to get that job we want.
So sure to lose all the money in the end;
The debt to love took us down to one.


Free from love, I can find no way to smile;
Inside I am a bullet train going off the rails.
I am heading into the darkness and mile after mile,
There is no hope left but to fail.


The shattered memories are never fixed;
The thoughts we lost along the way.
The stepping stones of life that lead to this;
The pattern of a fate, where I decided to stay.


I left half a heart with you;
I left my last kiss there too.
I left and walked out of that door
And all I have left is not being sure.


A step into the unknown room;
A place I have never seen inside my head.
No hand to hold, to keep me safe;
Lost without you…a lifetime of regrets.

Almost broken


If you change the words you will never find your end.
You will forever be chasing your thoughts,
Until the day that you are dead,
And when you are left without strength,
How will you once more rise to stand again?


I guess it's cool to be okay.
I think, I thought, I hope it ends up that way;
But life is a mystery of a story not yet told.
Who will guide me when I am beyond getting old?


Life has kicked me and I have bitten back.
People have used me, I’m used to that.
Family loved me, the best love I ever had.
I was almost broken, but I’m still swinging my bat.

I love you so.


Every time we say goodbye,
A little piece of my heart dies.
You’re the one who makes me cry;
The one I love has the devil inside.
Hoping for an angel, but I know she just isn’t that type.


Something tells me you’ll be here later.
Something tells me you’ll stick around.
Something tells me you are worth fighting for;
Because without you, I’d be lost and never found.


Never found in love is to never live.
I need love to destroy my grief.


You do something to me that I can’t explain.
You keep me happy, in the pouring rain.


And I love you so.

Discovery


As she walked through my life, she simply kissed me goodbye.
She was only with me for a moment; a moment in time.
But then she was gone from me and all I could do is cry.
I guess we never get the chance, to love for life.


As the years all rushed passed me and experiences made me grow;
I thought about her all my life and where she is, I just don’t know.
But each night I send a firework, flying high into the sky.
Maybe one day she will see my signal flare and she will send me a sign.


As my eyes begin to fade and all my hair has now turned grey;
I guess she just isn’t coming back to me; I guess alone I have to stay.
I sure did have a good life and I married my beautiful wife;
But she has passed away, three years now
And I still can’t get her off my mind.


I wish I could have been with her, for the rest of my life,
But some things they just ain’t meant to be;
I never said it would all turn out alright.
I lost you in my youth and now I’ve lost my second love too.
I know I should be grateful, but all my thoughts return to you.


So many years without you near, I would just like to understand.
I know you had to find yourself, but did you ever find your man?
Or was I the one you think about, the one you could come back too?
I hope you think of me from time to time;
I hope to see you soon.


You had to leave to find yourself;
Well, did you find your way?
Have you discovered what you needed to find?
I can only remember the day you walked away.
Have you completely lost yourself in love and did you raise a family?
Our time stopped, the day I watched you slowly walking out on me.


I guess you carry your own memories;
I wish they had been mine,
But fate decided we would part
And follow our own paths.  
Have your discovered, how to just, leave it all behind?
I never did;
I never did stop loving you,
But now I know…
You’re never coming back.

It’s nothing personal


It’s nothing personal; I hate the entire human race.
It’s the way they talk, the way they act,
I hate the look upon their face.
In fact I hate everything about you all.
Like I said before, it’s nothing personal.

I am without you


In a perfect world, nothing is perfect.
In a beautiful world, not all things are beautiful.
It may not be easy to see, but love is truly worth it.
You can either choose to have faith in love,
Or you can forever remain doubtful.


I choose to keep believing,
Because to me love is everything
And when I do eventually meet her,
I will tell her of the way things were.


The reason for the absence,
The loss and the heartache.
The reasons why I couldn’t believe,
That anything good would ever last again.
I will try to be romantic and woo her every day.
I will try to be all she could ever need,
So she doesn’t feel the need to fly away.


If she is my Ms. Right, then she will see through my eyes
And find my heart a leaping over a belly of butterflies.
I will find a way to make her complete,
If she decides to believe in me.


All these things I will do,
Because love is still what gets me through,
To the other side of this darkness;
This time I am without you.
