Fire & Rain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
with every sense I have within
I will come to you
with every sense I have within
I will sit in front of you
as you cry again
I don't pass judgement
for a man is allowed to cry
I can close my eyes
and not question why
and only touch you blind
warm while I am there
and listen to the wind
blowing through your hair
breathing in the scent
of your sex mixed with mine
and taste the sweat on your skin
the salt from tears that blind
and I will love until the end
with every sense I have within.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where I Told You I Am Dying
There is a bench in the grass
by the water of the beach
where it meets the wooden dam
just feet out of toes' reach
the lights of the baybridge
reflect off of the sea
and the stars signal life there
and your love for me.
There we sat still and close
while the wind did it's dance
across the waves of passions
the shimmers, a mere glance
for not being able to focus there
in the dying of me
we'd marry one day
though I'd be gone and free
before you and you'd be left alone,
sitting on that bench, while
remembering how we began
you said that you'd smile
for having me as a wife
for however short my life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
consequences
consequences given and taken
a way to know the truth
missing the best parts in life
in a time when we had youth
but you love me
and I'm thankful for this
and you don't ask what it matters now
if I can't bring myself to miss
the days of choices
and today having no regret
dealing with the necessary evils
since the day we met
and you'll be at my side
holding my hand in yours
when I am at the end of dying
through fighting the wars
of darkness that envade my body
and light that shines my soul
and you'll be left behind
but will you pay the toll
can you deal with the consequence
of loving me till death
we gave and took till now
but at my final breath
will you regret loving me
and holding my heart
do you realize how soon
will come death do us part?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trust Me Enough
Trust me enough to touch me
in the shadows where no one sees
trust me enough to kiss me
upon soft lips that passions seize
Trust me enough to call me
when nobody else is around
trust me enough to let me hold you
trust I'll not let you down
Trust me enough to stay true
to tell me any secret desire
trust me enough to let me breathe
close enough to fuel that fire
Trust me enough to allow yourself
to fly high in the skies above me
knowing I'll be watching and adoring
trust me enough to love me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shattered Skies
Love is a storm of wind and rain
with all the tears a heart can hold
when I look back on my lost love
crackled gray where there once was gold
all I see ahead are shattered skies
that are without a ray of light to shine
when I look back on my lost love
the passion spewed like sun that was mine
songs have been sung without words
in the middle of summer the winter came
when I look back on my lost love
the chill that blew out the flame
while the wordless haunting song
sung true now as it did then
today I look back on my lost love
will shattered skies ever be gold again?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looking Back
He doesn't look back
when he walks away
no losing footing on his track
he knows he can't stay
I have a bad habit
of looking back all the time
losing footing, shoes don't fit
hoping for what should be left behind
I watch him with a teary-eyed gaze
as he walks on without seeing
if he looked back to this phase
where I love him with all my being
I stand and I yell
and my voice starts to crack
looking, tripped and fell
but he doesn't look back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sun
You are the beast within the beauty
gazing upon me with those eyes
that melt my insides to loss
as they follow wantingly across
my gray and cloudy skies
wishing to spread the sun
and rid me of the storm
that you will only send
back into me again
after you've made me nice and warm
so keep your words and eyes
and touches to your own
leave me inside my gray
and I'll find my place some day
with my sunshine to call it "home".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
still and barely breathing
when you open your eyes
a wilting flower at the mercy
of your ice-blue skies
I wish I could tell you
to leave away from here
but then you roll on top
and allow a falling tear
to land and graze my cheek
as you push inside my soil
uprooting me for your pleasure
helpless to resist the turmoil
of your journey through me
the coming to the hilt
replanting me farther away
from the world that I have built
and I lay still and barely breathing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Projection
I'm falling apart inside
but on the outside, I must smile
and laugh when I want to cry
I need to be by myself awhile
It's going to be a long day
a day in the life of projection
of being happy and up
when I'm in the opposite direction
I need you to love me
just be that kind of friend
I'm losing the scene around me
and I feel I'm near the end
I'm clinging to things inside of me
though they slowly slip away
I just need for you to understand
I need to be alone today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
missing pieces
at this point in life I'm pretty sure
that love is an imagined thing
something created in the mind
and dealt to the heart
like jumbled puzzle pieces
tossed from one side to the other
back and forth, discouraging
because the heart can't figure
what the mind built
and when the mind gets it back
it's already been felt
and makes no sense there
then both agree
whole-hearted-mindedly
through the tossing into the air
pieces went missing somewhere.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love Not Meant To Be
For the first time in a long time
I held you quietly
peace in the world then
sitting on your knee
everything faded away from me
only that moment I was free
but then I let you go
stepped back and gazed
upon your pretty face
reality came and wasn't phased
by your ice blue eyes
that left me in a haze
for what had seemed like days
now I sit here and write you
with your cologne still on my hands
and the heart beats to the song you sang
though the mind understands
reality as it is without holding you
knowing it will change the heart's plans
still wherever the heart is led
the place is brightened with the memory
and love is kept close and free
the love not meant to be
but only for the moment
I held you quietly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
entangled
following the bare
blonde trail
down
over the mountains
across the flatland
to the cavern
fingers entangled in hair
sliding in with no air
to the deepest
walls and floors
writing your name in creme
when you're finished
ten fingers
entangling with mine
still inside
filling
entangling
sweat and love
laying heavy eyes
down
nose pressed
against my ear
breath warm
on my neck
relaxed
entangled
