Poetry

The
Call
The
wind carries your voice
It
whispers my name
I
have no choice
I'll
never be the same
There's
a flame in your eyes
It
burns dark and hot
Resistance
only sighs
I
fight but I'm caught
Remembrance
of days long past
Spark
and start my own fire
How
long will my strength last
I'm
weak and beginning to tire
Your
smile is a little evil
It
teases and tempts me
But
you do have a rival
She
won't just let this be
She
glows through your magic haze
Her
light draws my soul
I'm
surrounded by your blaze
My
liberation is her only goal
Your
proffer of iniquity entices
Consumed
by this wanton desire
With
all my hidden vices
I
sink deeper in the mire
She
screams my name
She
holds on tight
She
thought I was tame
But
that me is nowhere in sight
She
slowly begins to see
My
gentle side is gone
I
need to be free
But
your evil hasn't won
Her
love this time wins
But
that's wrong too
Oh,
the depth of my sins
If
only she knew
It's
from her that I run
Your
evil can't compare
This
love hotter than the sun
Oh
Gods! Do I dare?
I'll
drown myself in wickedness
Smother
this love blue
She
only see's my selfishness
But
better than what's true
Her
heart is too pure
She
could never know
Darkness
is the only cure
So
with you I will go
Help
me quench this need
Cover
her light with black
I'll
laugh until I bleed
Give
my heart to evil's rack
When
this love is dead
Then
I will return
Nothing
left to be said
In
Tartarus my soul will burn
How
Do You Do That?
(For
my best friend, Nic)
When
my past haunts me and the
darkness
threatens to consume me,
your
gentle understanding shines on
me
and illuminates my soul.
How
do you do that?
Now
my laughter is real and warm
not
cruel and cold like before.
Your
loving companionship brings
me
true happiness.
How
do you do that?
You
give me strength and courage
I
forget are there.
With
you I can take chances I
didn't
know I could.
How
do you do that?
With
you I can be impulsive and
natural.
Somehow you break my
chains,
tear down my walls
and
set me free.
How
do you do that?
I
would do anything for you.
Give
into any desire or need..
You
don't even have to ask,
just
want, and it's yours.
How
do you do that?
You
make me want to take care
of
you and protect you. When you
depend
on me and lean on me,
somehow
you comfort me.
How
do you do that?
You
can also put a fear in me
I've
never known. The fear of hurting
you,
the fear of your anger, the fear
of
your rejection...the fear of losing you.
How
do you do that?
I
don't know the answers. But I do know
I'm
thankful to have you in my life.
Sometimes
I wonder if we've known each
other
a lot longer than a few years. Our
bond
is so strong, how could it be less than
a
hundred lifetimes?
Lost
In You
When
did I find the door to you?
How
did I enter and become lost in you?
I
look around, all I see is you.
I
see the green of your eye's in
every
blooming bud on every tree.
I
see your smile in everyone's happiness.
I
see your golden hair in all the light of the day.
I
listen, all that I hear is you.
I
hear your laughter in every child's joy.
I
hear your soft breath in every breeze.
I
hear your words of love in all my dreams.
I
touch, everything I feel is you.
Water
on my skin is the silkiness of your hair.
Every
surface I graze is only your skin.
The
warmth of the sun is your body against mine.
I
try to think, but every thought is you.
All
my work, every memory, every idea.
Every
emotion I bear is you.
All
my anger, all my pain...all my love.
I'm
lost in you. I'm lost in you.
Remember
Remember
who wants you
When
his arms hold you
When
his hands touch you
When
his lips kiss you
When
his heart owns you
Remember
who accepts you
When
his arms release you
When
his hands push you
When
his lips turn from you
When
his heart is closed to you
Remember
who will protect you
When
his arms restrain you
When
his hands hurt you
When
his lips curse you
When
his heart disdains you
Remember
who loves you
With
all the strength in my arms
With
all the tenderness in my hands
With
all the desire in my kisses
With
all the passion in my heart
This
Endless Circle
It's
not real
What
I see
It
can't be
The
honesty, the innocence,
the
beauty, the perfection
I
tell myself it's the mist
of
my sickness. Love
It
clouds my judgement
But
seeing your perfection
is
what made me love you
So
I start again....
It's
not real
What
I feel
It
can't be
The
passion, the need,
the
desire, the love
I
tell myself it's just
physical.
Lust
It
blind's all my reason
But
feeling your soul
is
what made me want you
So
I go....
In
this endless circle
I
try to understand why and how
I
spin, I turn,
In
you I reel
There's
no stopping, there's no end
This
Love
I
miss you every minute you're away from me
I
could smother you with my love, I know
Yet
I love you enough to let you go
I
love to see you happy in your freedom
Even
if that means being without me
My
smiles and joy for you are true,
Don't
ever doubt that
But
my tears are real and selfish,
Because
I cry for myself
I
cry for my emptiness without you
I
wonder at my need for you
I
hate myself for allowing this to
happen,
for allowing this vulnerability
I
pray for this torture to end
Yet
I desperately cling to it with all my strength
I've
never known this emotion, this love
Oh,
I've loved many in my life
But
this agonizing passion has never accompanied it
I
know your love for me is not the same.
No
The
fire is not there
But
I gladly except whatever you give me
I
open my heart and absorb every bit
And
I wait. Quietly. Patiently. Humbly.
Will
this love fade? Will your's ignite?
