I wish I could fly,
then I'd have a birds eye view,
of all my hindsight.

Tasted the tears of regret
Touched the softness of a newborns skin
Saw vices steal a man's life
Heard the sparrows song at dusk.
Smelled the rotting flesh of death.

If i could write a song
It would be about you.
It would sing your praises.
I would join in too.
I've never met anyone,
that could touch a part of me,
that lives so deep down inside.
Where no one else could see.
I'll always be grateful
And would move heaven and earth for you
I'd kiss you a million times
With passion so deep and true.

What game shall we play?
There's one you call "I love you".
Then push me away.

We will be okay.
Our breakup, amicable
We both found lost loves.

Will it ever be,
I have a beautiful day,
alone, to myelf.

Pointless and inane.
Words said of my existence.
They don't define me.

The clock ticks In time,
With a heart that's out of time
The second hand sweeps.

I'm indifferent
I can't say that I hate you
I will just think it.

Writing poetry
My mind leaks onto paper
Lovely visual!

I've known rejection
It bore deep into my heart
Left a nasty scar.

C'mon roll the dice
Watch your money disappear
Love is a crapshoot.

Careful with my heart.
It has been battered and bruised,
denied and refused.
I will fire a warning shot,
just to protect what I've got.

I'd like to know
what you put into this love.
I always crave the taste.

Though I'm a loner
I'm never really alone
I still have myself

Love breaks your heart.
As it has done from the start.
It tore us apart.

You can't sing or dance.
But you can use just your eyes,
put me in a trance.

Your dreams were well known.
Mine came with little fanfare.
Silent victory.

People won't tell you.
No words to express their hate.
Quietly you're shown.

I was never lost
Just waiting to be found
Baggage and all.

The dragon spits fire
Tired of its own breath it sighs ,
and burns down a town.

People they may cry
Because life is slipping past
Time they cannot buy

You are controlling
I'm rebellious by nature.
We're oil and water

Decisions are made,
in dark alleys and back halls.
Best to watch your back.

A fair weather friend
Gives you no consistency
Trust comes to an end

I overthink things
Both a blessing and a curse
Depends on the day.

He asks for my hand
I tell him that I need it
He is not amused

We were the couple.
Every relationships goal.
Front page, headline news
Now we are painfully polite.
We are familiar strangers.

Imagination
What realm can be created
Possibilities
A dark world with kings and queens
Dragons, medieval dungeons

You are respectful,
when in polite company.
Not that way with me.

My little garden
I grow dreams and peace of mind.
Dreams are ripe and fresh.

I cower within
Shames the constant companion,
that just won't go home.

Your voice, haunting
A dark forest in the night,
rooted in legend.

Dreams motivate us
They take life to the next step,
and add direction

Music moves my soul,
to another time and place.
Opens my mind's eye.

You said I love you.
Which canceled my lonliness,
made room for two.

I'll touch your skin.
Trace the outline of your face,
as we share a kiss.
My reflections in your eyes,
as they draw me deeply in.

If this life were fair.
Everyone would be equal.
Common ground to share.

In a tug of war,
between confidence and doubt
Both disqualified.

You sing life alone.
Sometimes solos are needed,
to round out the choir.

Unrequited love
It laughs and spits in your face
Takes without giving

Flat Frisbees in flight
Beach blankets bundled by boys
Love letters litter

Some use loud voices.
With opinions and the like.
I don't like that much.
Opinions should be subtle.
Little softer to the touch.

You ask me to share,
the reason why I'm crying
Since when do you care.

Oh I love this song!
We both say at the same time.
It becomes our song.

To be creative.
I go deep within myself.
Then can't get back out.

The clock is upset
Hands wringing, face distraught
Second hand feelings.

I am closed off
On the inside and outside
No road signs warning

Do dreams have meaning.
Or does fate have a strong say.
Or was it the schnapps.

I really don't know
Whether I live in this life
Or merely exist
