Angel On My Doorstep (June 22, 2007)

There’s an angel on my doorstep
She tempts my analysis
With love or fate or ...
Is it eternal denial that I envy
From her hair spins coils
Words to carry me forward
To the promise I gave myself
And the myth only I created

Her song captivates my energy
Whispers offered without debt
Sink barbs and extract their weight
An inherent payment of love
For even without contemplation
The same certainty results
In a fight that cannot be won
Nor lost for the best intentions

This angel is exempt
A judgment will not be dispensed
For her aim is not to steal away
But to offer and take in desires
To the one she sees past
The future extends forward
And the façade reveals
A girl shrouded by my dream

Love Isn’t Numb (June 11, 2008)

It’s not the same feeling
I have inside for her
That she’s holding for me
With or without rapport
I sense her confusion
Will she open up,
Can she accept herself
In my presence?

I wondered why
My senses failed
In her presence
But came alive
When she’s not around
Is it my own desire
Or a numb sensation
Drawn out when alone?

I give all that I am
In a setting only she will see
My affection is pure
Raw to the trained ear
Pushed aside by her experience
And yet here I am again
Teenage emotions
With adult aspirations

Why the adult response?
Why is romance impossible
For those who want and dream
Yet never leap with their heart
Seeing the trap called love
Fear keeps them stolid
Avoiding the real gift
Of living through love

I won’t stop leaping
My heart skips beats
My tongue gets tied
My head swirls in her presence
Her scent draws its picture
Upon my desires
To be in love
With her love in refrain

You Have A Chance (June 11, 2008)

You have a chance
One and only one

You can have my heart
But the lasso isn’t your words

You can have my soul
But the cost isn’t your kiss

You can win me forever
By doing what I do for you

You have a chance
To win the prize of your life

You can lose everything
With the spark of your words

You can lose your heart
With a false kiss or smile

You can lose me forever
In the blink of an eye

You have a chance:
Give what you aim to win

Or don’t.

The Butterfly’s Curse (May 24, 2008)

A simple curl caressed your cheek
Drawing my focus in converse
Taunting like words

You saw me in a light few are allowed
Deserving of my trust
Seeing who I am

My eyes brushed your face to see depth
In your inner self glowing outside
Giving me confidence

My hands kept reaching out towards you
To be pulled back in and held close
Tempting life to touch

A thought of kissing you kept recurring
Like the caterpillar wanting
Waiting to be the butterfly

The Strength Within (May 12, 2008)

Watch.
No, listen.
See.
But don’t look.

She took the fight
And he can’t win
His loss is his own
Loss within

Feel.
No, don’t.
Listen
Without hearing.

Now I’ve seen it all
I predicted a demise
A dire straight
Of pain

Ouch.
It hurts.
Witness
Self-infliction.

I thought I knew
Strength beyond bounds
To live through life
Spoiled by ego

She
Has strength
Driving
Through her.

I did my best to show
To let him see ahead
Ignored, I was
By pitiful self-indulgence

Idiot.
Told you.
Don’t
Do it Dummy.

Seeing straight past
Blinded by inner chaos
Out of controls
He spun his web of lies

Ha!
You lose.
Except
It hurts everyone.

You failed yourself
Worse, you failed them
Now they’ll hurt too
Because of your pain

Thanks
For sharing
Nothing
Worth sharing.

A Brilliant Smile (April 5, 2008)

Bring up the lights
Her smile just caught my eye

I saw her pass in my mind
As she drew her scent on the wind

Further into my world
Her image slowly drifts by

I'm left to my own senses
Wandering and overwhelmed

Alone and looking upward now
To where the sky has been lit

I AM (March 29, 2008)

I am
and then I am
The man
Not that you think
I am not
What you are not
Nor in my way
Are you ever

Where is the place
The place where you...
Am I there?
In that place where
You said you are
And I am not
In that space

Was it I
In your dream
Or you in mine
When you held
My hand in yours
A hand in place
Where I once was
And you were not

Where's Waldo Now? (February 27, 2008)

Waldo went looking around To find his love lost not found In each shop he looked Or locale he booked Love made no peep nor a sound Knowing his luck would soon change He expanded his search range Peering high and low Moving to and fro His life began to feel strange Surrounded by new faces People, landscapes and races Waldo was now lost And love was the cost Like solving the wrong cases If Wendy could only see Waldo was where he should be Her love could set him Free in her rhythm And their two I’s become We Chained to pursue his heart’s beat His path lead to people he’d greet All along the road In great strides he strode To Wendy he hoped to meet Can you find this silly guy? Spy him with your little eye? Do look hard and fast Positions don’t last He blends like blue in the sky

Kisses of Tonic (December 19, 2007)

The tonic spilled over
Onto the lips
Of her soul
Left in
Balance

Fleeing the moment within
Her heart pounded
Out of her
Into her
Chest

His deft swift eyes
Felt her pulse
In the heat
Of one
Emotion

Seeking her relief alone
With her hand
On his hand
In unknown
Waters

Looking into their gazes
Amazed in rapid
Successions of flight
Fluttering angel
Wings

As though nothing existed
His heart raced
Her heart raced
More than
Lust

Towards her backhanded word
He greeted panic
Over the ice
Spilt onto
Laps

The heated frost melted
Giving in to
Live again free
Within her
Eyes

Was this assumed innocence
If her glance
Met his glance
On accident
Purposefully

Neither could avoid collision
The touch came
First and second
In waves
Crashing

For all she waited
He had waited
For that kiss
Touching soft
Petals

When the dream receded
His light lit
Her heart skipped
How they
Met

Forever is about to
Don't say never
Forever is about
To start
Now

Northern Star (December 18, 2007)

Her light pointed north
The torch she held
Lifted and picked me up
Showing me new hope

Thankful for my spirit
Her thoughts fell upon
My open eyes like stars
Shining on my head

The unexpected word
Left a depth of warmth
Rising from within
And around her gift

She gave me confidence
To be what I always am
Living for who I am
To be something for her

Only A Dream (October 21, 2007)

I dreamt she loved me
Her caressing words
Soothed the thoughts
I longed to hear
Angelic whispers
Bringing forth my spirit
My love and heart
Yearning for the truth
My soul has always felt

Her confession was unexpected
An unlocked confidence,
The candy shell released,
I could taste what
She withheld inside
Her wanting and waiting
Leaning towards me
I was alive within,
A new found spring

Words spoke in tears
My response conceived
Years and lifetimes
Beyond that moment
As real as any moment
I’m awake and asleep
Speeding to meet her
Kisses on torn lips
Of concealment

And all at once
I was awoken
Her scent fading
An evaporating memory
Leaving my heart empty
Hurting and praying
Looking for a trace
For that dream day
To find me in its way

Eyes Of A Doll (August 5, 2007)

The girl with the doll face
Eyes stirring a start
Mystery is forming
To push forth this art

My heart pumping
Randomly it clicks
While feeling for words
My watch silently ticks

Fingers unknowingly
Lulled into a trance
Write her a song
In hopes of a dance

Is it really that easy
Just to be real
To give what you want
My love to steal?
