With you


My love can I send you this hero?  
He’s in need of you and feeling low.
So pick me up my love, I need you to know,
I’m here for you for good, until the end of the show.


I want you to be mine,
Because within you I see me doing just fine.


I need a girlfriend to call my own;
I want a woman I am yet to know.


If you only knew how I feel for you,
Would it change the way you see love?
If I was able to show you I mean it too,
Then what would become of us?

Saved.


With moonlight behind us,
We are fearful no more.
With wind in our sails,
We journey onto the shore.


With life comes the baggage;
We are forever closing doors.
With love comes the damage;
We continue to fall.


With love we are saved;
We are whole at last.
With love we are made;
We are future, present and past.


With family comes all;
We are alone never more.
With children comes laughter;
We are joy, we are yours.

It began with you


It began with the words;
Never before seen or heard.
I spoke them to her
And now she is my reason for remaining on this Earth.


It began with her;
She helped me through.
It began as a friendship,
Now I love you.


It began with a conversation;
It led us into another station.
As I finally got off the runaway train,
I had found my salvation.


It began with you
And with you it continues.
I hope it will end with you,
My lover, my love, my wife…
The one love I truly knew.

In a land of no answers


In a land of no answers, I’m crying alone;
In a world with no feelings, I’m feeling so lost.
I crave for love, or something to make me feel less hollow;
But I have become a ghost of what I once was.


I went up to Heaven to face my God;
But he wasn’t answering so I fell down to Earth.
I listened closely and searched in the fog;
But I was lost in love, so I couldn’t get what I deserved.


Still I search for the answers, to a question I cannot ask;
For I don’t know what it is, that I want to find in the dark.
I used to think, I had all I needed at last;
But it all turned to nothing and now I am lost.


I can’t tell you how I felt, because I just don’t remember,
But I must have felt something, to have felt the loss.
As another year passes by, I’m feeling low in December;
I would give anything to remember, no matter what the cost.

Burning pages with ink


All the hate sets fire to me
And burn’s through me so intensely.
Flames run up and down my arms, permanent scars;
All my charm just burns away.
Rip me up and start again.


Smash my fist against the page!
Pen gripped tightly, shatters on impact.
Drag the ink from out of my veins,
To write in blood: “This…is…fact!”
Not this is “4 REAL”, because nothing is.
Time to burn another sun, or waste another wish.


Scratch my nails across the white;
Blood drips only leave vertical lines
And all I think is written ‘down’.
I don’t know how to turn my frown around.


One way, only falling, crawling; breaking open every gift of an egg.
Leave me for dead, upon a mid-summer nights dream, lost to never.
Never to be seen again.


All my words lost in translation;
Even I can’t read back what I have written.
Words like scars imprinted on me,
I recall the spirit of the time.
Still I cannot speak truthfully or freely,
Because you would not understand!  A single thing that I write.
I only write when I am shattered.
Splintered pieces, thoughts remain.
I am searching in a dark world, without a light, looking for answers,
But there is nothing, there is nothing…there is nothing but the pain.


As I continue to waste my life away,
All is grey in this rose tinted garden.
I strike a match and then I say,
This is the end;
All is said.
All is done…
I am through with tryin’.
You were my only true friend.

It physically hurts.


I thought about you leaving,
Ten minutes ago.
Do you have any idea when these tears will stop?
I thought about telling you that I love you,
But I know if I did,
You would be gone.


I thought about giving up
And never again getting out of my bed.
I think I should stop thinking about you.
I have lost too much.  I can only see the end.

Thanx Maya


When the battlefields become only fields.
When the swords of hope, become only hope.
When money is worthless and only hearts do we steal.
When all is said and done…only then will we know.


When wishes become our only true reality
And needful things are happily given unto us, without question or end.
When gone is no longer a place we need to be;
Only then will all humans really become humanities friends.


When the fires have already rained down on us from the sky!
And their devastation has quickly been washed away by our love.
When thunder storms suddenly appear,
And then just as suddenly, they pass us on by;
Only then will we find our home is within us.


When the dark knights have passed and the dawn sun arisen;
When the blood boils only from a mutual need,
To make love with passion!
When all is true love!  
And when one is enough!
Only then will we see what we have had all along...
I already know the fire which we have trapped inside of us.


You can call it a sin or a mystery box.
You can say it is worthless; you can scorn, you can mock.
You can think as you please, but do not tell me I am wrong!
I have something deep down inside me that can conquer you all!
It does not end.  It does not give up.  It does not stop.
Love continues, to surprise.
Love is fire behind the eyes.
Love is a mountain top; from acorns do we rise!
Love is momentous!  Love can stop time!
Love is more powerful than you will ever become!
Love is all you need.  Everybody needs to be loved.


When the hate is removed like a hat
And the ‘e’ is placed onto mad to create.
When the greedy are sated and are left alone to sit down,
Be quiet and anxiously contemplate.
When they tell us love is not real, get with the times, ok!
I will remove my head and take my mind off them, thus remaining calm;
I have had my fill, so I can wait…  
I believe you had something to say…


When they tell me to not care and just simply move on!
I shall so simply reply…I will not.
When they laugh at me for believing in a thing called love.
When they beat me down with their nightstick words,
Time and time again,
Screaming love is gone!
I will continue to rise to my feet and go looking for the one.
When they say there is not only one!
Just sleep with everyone!
I will say you and I are very different.  
I appreciate you do not understand.
When they say I am an idiot for believing in my soulmate.
I will agree.   Stupidly in love with a happy day…
Every day is a happy day with my love holding my hand.


When they tell me there is no love!  And I am just a joke!
I will bid them adieu and simply say I am bored, I must go…
When they say I told you so!  You don’t even know!
You are just like us with our empty souls!

I will simply say my soul is red and it truly is heart-shaped,
And hearts are so full of love…

That is all that, which I know…

Friends are there for you.


I am only here to comfort you.
I only came because you needed me to.
So please my friend, do not push me away;
Please my friend, ask me to stay.


I surely could help you, with your pain.
I surely could come and save the day.
If you need me, then here I am;
If you want some peace and quiet, then I understand.


But I shall not leave you, until I see you smile;
With a true feeling, of denial.
Ignore all the pain, that you feel…
Your wounds have now begun to heal.

Create art.


Snap it apart; tear it apart; pull it apart…
Create art.

Anything can be used to ignite my fire;
Anything can be used to set fire to my mind.
Anything can be used to keep the fire burning.
Anything can be used, except the words I cannot find.

Chasing rainbows


I’m chasing rainbows, searching for answers,
Looking for all the happy people and all the happy dancers.
I’m craving happiness in the darkest of worlds
And I am not one who knows when to take his chances.


We are still searching, because we still believe we are young;
But we are strung out on a search for love, like it is a drug.
We are the fighters; the fighters for love!
We are the foolish, the youthful; the dumb.


The soldiers, the army, the many and the few;
We are willing to die for love and for you.
We are the underdogs of love, born to lose;
But still we believe, so we shall continue.


Our relationship died in front of our eyes
And now all I see are the ruins of my life.
Love disappeared like the end of a rainbow.
Now all I see is death; love is dead…
What hope is there for tomorrow?

My substitute


If I was to be published then I would have no need for a wish.
If I held my own book in my hands,
Then that would mean that I had accomplished something.
If you were able to feel my poetry,
Then you would find me smiling.
I would always be smiling when I met up with you;
If only I could be.
If I ever succeed, then please accept a thank you from me.
If I never make it, then my existence will have counted for nothing.


Only time will tell if I ever did anything right.
With you on my side, I will at least have an eye,
On my future writing; you are my reason to try.
I hope one day I will be able to write something that everybody likes.


Fly on a wire; dance on the moon.
Sky dive into a career; parachute.
Become a light up in the sky.
Your name in brights; I love seeing through your mind’s eye.
You see all that I could be;
You believe in me like I never did.
I hope I do not disappoint;
All I have ever been is me.


Now through rose-tinted eyes I look at life.
So sad to be lost without a wife.
The one thing I always wanted, I will never have…
Please do not be sad.
I am where I am meant to be.
I may not have love,
But I love poetry…
It is my substitute for love and all other things.

Empty voice


Inspire me to write a poem that you would enjoy;
Tell me what you want to read about and tell me a story.
Ask me a question, decline to use profanity;
Be you man, woman, girl or boy.
Anybody,
Anywhere;
A thought, a wish, an image or a memory.


What is your motif? I desire to know of your desire.
Tell me something you think so I can create a line,
As I listen to them, as they play the lyre.
Let me become a better writer; be the fuel to my fire.
Ignite my passion for being passionate;
I am so scared of fading away, to once more become a cursing liar.


I don’t want to become an empty voice without enlightenment;
I don’t want to disappear from the pages you read.
I don’t want to be forgotten,
As someone who used to bring you enjoyment;
But my soul is dying, my spirit fading and my subconscious is in need.


I need your advice, be it criticism or nice;
I need to know how I can improve upon the words that I write.
I need to entice you back into my life,
Because without you to guide me, I will become a shadow in the night,
Who writes without originality…
Try as I might, to write something you will like.


Save me from obscurity;
Help my chaotic mind find a place of serenity.
Rate me good or bad or offer me a thought;
I will take all your words to heart and view them with awe.


If I can write no more, then so be it, let that be that;
But if there is a way to improve upon those silly things that I do,
Then give me a piece of your mind so that I have a chance.
I strive to improve as I reach out for wisdom;
I am waiting on a light bulb moment and I am feeling so numb.


Give me advice, be it fire or ice;
Just give me something to think about…

So that I can once again, try to write.
