Love Poems

Silhouettes

a candle glow
a soft lit room
a dance of love
a wife and groom
 
two shadows sway
two souls assigned
two frames as one
two lives combined
 
three day's of bliss
three times he seized
three hours more
three way's he pleased
 
two weeks she's late
two love's conceive
two months along
two hearts now three
 
a baby's born
a shadow made
a mom and dad
a new display

What You Are Inside Of  I    

I see
your freeze frame
this picture's driving me insane
theres only part of you
that's showing
with half a name
I long to know you
invent new colour , alien hues  
turn all the bad , golden
enable breathing on the moon .

Imagine floatation
we're absent
from rotation .

Orchestral notes are pitching high
we are like Kestrel's
in new skies
we could kiss Neptune
or Jupiter's eye
I am the octagon
but no sides lie
I roll and rock too
I've lived a lot of life
so I need to know you
before I go and die .

Take me away
to where new suns
light up your face
with an amethyst haze
that does eradicate
gone days  .

The cool of ruby
and all red  , is truly too me
the jewels that you have bled
and the food
you do feed too me
the words that I have read
walk around inside my head
sometimes they run instead
because of your athletic legs

if I could I'd replace
the dead stars in the sky
if it did so place
what you are  
inside of  I  .

Heaven’s here on Earth
In your arms Heaven’s here on earth
When the woes of the world frustrates me, hurt me,
hate on me and tear down me guard.
In your arms I’m comforted.
 
In our bed Heaven’s here on Earth
When you lay me down, I feel the Spirit of love.
Put your mouth on me warm, wet and sweet
Search for the secret I keep in my garden
 
It feels like Heaven’s here on Earth
When you enter my body releasing a glorified moan
Thick and long, you are warm and slippery inside me
You move your hips slowly, driving in me deep
I draw you in deeper to touch the Soul of me
 
I believe Heaven’s on Earth
When your eyes met mine in a sensual rhythmic pattern
The earth trembles under us and the moon and stars watch in awe
Applauding our love dance are the spirits and angles
I believe we’ve touch creation
 
This love is Heaven’s here on Earth
Our love is beautiful and wondrous to behold
I look into your eyes and believe what I see
When we release our shared orgasm the kingdom is at hand
This bed is our temple this bed is our church
The promise land is right here, the truth of it, Infinite
 
This very well could be Heaven’s here on Earth.
I question what I think I know because I believe this right here,laying in your arms is my Heaven here on Earth.

With eyes that pierce like ice,
And a voice that burns like fire.
Something deep within thee,
Just fills me with desire.
Lo! Loves is what l fear,
Yet I yearn for more.
Knowing your gaze can sear,
To my very core.

Tied by the chains of passion,
Resisting to flee only due to attraction.
Leaping into trouble without a first glance,
Tis something about lust,
That makes us take a chance.
My tongue is tingling with words l fear to speak,
Oh, how the silence,
Has left me terribly weak.

Alas, I fear to say,
The words that must be said.
Could thou tell me anyway,
And free them from my head?
The darkness is trickling swiftly,
Throughout my very soul.
The emptiness is budding,
From the piece of me you stole.

Alas, l yearn for you.
It is thy smile that l need
Yet would thou remain true,
If it was known that l must bleed?
Would my scars turn you away,
Or lure you further near?
I hope you want me anyway,
Because l want you,my dear!

If I could be your thunderstorm,
Rock you soft to sleep…
Then would you be my sunset?
Take my soul to keep.

If I would be your lightning,
Illuminate your haunting darkness…
Then could you be my westward wind?
Blow away my hardships.

If I could be your hurricane,
Shake you with my passion…
Then would you be my starry night?
My secretive assassin.

Since I’m your weary rainmaker,
Kissing you with gentle tears…
And you’re my effervescent summer,
Would we make it through the years?

(I'm aware this is a bit cheesy, but love in and of itself is a cheesy affair)

Only done one competition. I'll give it a shot


Sorrow for the Stars



As a little child
I loved to stare up at the moon
Imagining what it would be like
To sit and watch the blue planet
Rise on the horizon


I wished for nothing more at that time
Then to be up in the sky
Ride upon a shooting star
That would take me to a magical land
Created just for me


I used to tell you how I loved that moon
How the silver light would guide me
As I walked down the beaten dirt road
On those teary nights
When nowhere was the only place to go


Orion was my hero
He helped me through the nights
Shielded me with his six stars
I felt safer when he was in my skylight
I knew pain would only be distant


Now, I just wish they would go away


My love for them is not lost
It will always be there
But some love causes great sorrow
A stab deeper than words


Now every time I look to the heavens
And spot Orion defending in the skies
Or see the luminescent moon
I can't help but cry
Finding it hard to breath


A sharp pain goes through my chest
As if a screw is being twisted in
Deeper and deeper it imbeds itself
Until it is so far in
That it cannot be removed


I don't want the light of the moon
To be my guide any longer
I wish night would drape over me
Like black silk over
A gypsy's shew stone


The comfort I once found
In the expansive twilight
Has been replaced by a feeling
That is worse than being held under water
Or being burned by fire


Now, I just wish they would go away


Because they remind me of you
Of how you will never be next to me
To hold my hand in yours
And admire their beauty
Together.

Age of my promise


These benevolent flickers of hope
have scolded me with patience.
I could not start a new as it
would rule out, at whatever distance,
what could be.

I spoke to you of soaring heights,
over jagged peaks,

fearlessly.

You felt no air pulling your skin
for my promise was one that escaped me.

A false promise or a weak offer?
My hope is the pale green residuum.

Tempting is the flesh that teases,
and taunts me with the summer-skins,
but resist i must and resist i will
for a promise never ages.

goodest said:No matter what I’ve done
No matter what I’ll ever do
Nothing could overcome the sadness in my heart
If I can’t be with you

I take you everywhere I go
Be it short or far
Within every beat of my heart
That is where you are

You’re with me every morning I awake
As a matter of fact, the entire day
You even whisper in my ear
With every word I say

You’re even with me on the court
And still you follow me to the shower
And as love rains over my entire body
I’m totally cleansed by its power

You’re my one and only dream
And you’re featured on all my thoughts
You were even with me
For the last burger that I bought

You sit with me on the job
And walk with me through the rain
And every time I fall
You help me overcome the pain

You’re there when I succeed
You’re even there when I fail
You never try to hide
You’re even there when I meet other females

And no matter how they look
Be it foul or fair
They’ll never take your spot
Because to you, they don’t compare

You’re with me when I eat
You’re even with me when I drink
If you weren’t in my life
I wouldn’t have enough breath to even think

You’re the love of my life
Like you, there will never be another
Because no other lady
Can give me the love of my mother

Love, your son, Eric

“To Mama”

Awww...that is so so sweet!

I Wish I Could Write About Love

I wish I could write about love
Or the spring air and rippling heels
Of the girls in the pretty dress
Across the dying sunset

I wish I could write about love
And the radiance of a single candle
The warmth it grants our soul
And the power to purge suffering

I wish I could write about love
How the waves slush about the ocean
It’s reclusive, infinite black pit
And how far it drives our emotions

I wish I could write about love
How in the locust swarm of sin
Blackens the sky and swallows the light
And you make it seem as bright as day

I wish I could write about love
And how it’s delicacy is that of a rose
It’s red petals shimmering with drips
Squeeze too tight and you’ll a bloody grip

I wish I could write about love
Or the swell of flushed cheeks
Born on her silk, frail skin
And the amorous look, exposing you weak

I wish I could write about love
Like feathers shedding off a white dove
While it ardently sings for the world
To no one who is heard

I wish I had one last chance,
to make my life right,
I have turned out the light in my life,
And he meant so much to me,
but, now here I sit,
In a cold and lonely place,
I wish he were here,
once again by my side,
Sitting right beside me,
to help me through to the end,
My very best friend.
I've given him up,
never to find him again,
I just wish, I had one last chance,
to make him stay.
Until that day comes,
I'll sit by myself,
Useless and in pain,
Unless he comes back to me,
My last words will be "Dark Prince Forgive me."

The sun is making your skin
Warm to my touch. Lying on grass
Your head in my lap, wrapped safe
In my arms. I'm so happy.
I can't remember bliss like this.
 
We kiss, talk a little. But
For the most part, we're happy
Just in silence. It's enough
To be with you here in the sunshine.
I love you. I love you.

The boy who never heard me...

Twisting my way around words, scaving silhouettes
Dissolving on your tongue, to seep into my small exterior

Your hands resign here
My nails dug into your hair

My knuckles playing chopsticks
On your collarbone; as you're talking through the kisses

Too out of your head to whisper
I love you was too cliche

So you'd say, and so you'd say:

"I love a girl,
She knows me like I love her.
There will never be another,
And I wont rest until forever"

And as I let them sink in
I let my teeth sink in

Every word he tethered
Every love has never come close to

The boy who's never heard me say a word

Love at first sight

Love at first sight its hard to believe
When you find it, it overcomes everything

Looking into eachothers eyes
Seeing that twinkle like the stars in the night sky

One kiss one touch everything intertwines
The smell lingers throughout the day

The feeling your hearts heavy you can't think striaght
Makes everything in life worth living

Can I call you, love?
Because that’s what you are to me
A heart-pounding, unreal mystery
Someone no one can really define.
but I can always feel…
You’re not just another person.
You’re not just another emotion.
Every day is a new moment,
a new emotion, a new memory.
You’re the red, yellow, orange tint
to my night sky come sunrise.
You’re the song I could never
remember the name of,
but the one that was always in my head.

A love poem for you-
Could I? Should I try?-
Should I focus on your birth-
or the way we said goodbye?
I see your happy smile-
your curls-
eyes speckled gold-
how much I looked at them-
hearing all the lies you told.
I see you running, playing,
laughing in the bath-
Oh God I lived for you
and all the fun we had!
I see your first steps-
alone I cheered you on-
I remember taking off your training wheels-
as you sang your favorite song.
I held your hand and cried-
your first day of school-
I begged you be a big boy-
then completely lost my cool.
All those days of waiting-
timing that old bus-
All these years, tears,
we always just had Us.
I fought the world-
you watched me!
I did it all for you-
everyone said I couldn't
But I could-I could with you.
Always trying to teach you-
love, truth, freedom of the mind-
explaining why we left all those people
far behind-
I still remember when I hit you-
and then-I really did not know-
I studied Psychology- to learn
how we should go! I did not know!
I had to unlearn everything-
I was ever told-
I was seventeen and
man I felt so old.
But you were my priority-my little man,
my world!
The day you lied against me-I swirled
unfurled, burned.
All those years in school, off we both would go-
Early morning coffee-
oatmeal on the stove.
We spoke of our bright future,
grew a garden, grew a farm!
My very being a shield-
to keep you from all harm.
On my graduation I said
I did this all for you-
I could die a failure-
but not in front of you.
It was always just you-
just me and you!
I flash ahead a few years-
and we are at Toys r us-
you want yellow hair,an earring
no longer Magic bus-
I cried again, but on we went-
your yellow hair-and earring-
I did defend!
I was starting to see-and
then had a degree-
that you had an issue-
It really was not me.
You lied about nonsense, loved drama-
forgot the truth.
I Was just there to wash his clothes,
cook his food.
Hear his lies, evil denials,
Stand the trials.
I drove for miles!
I one day woke up-down again-
in my own blood-
and said ENOUGH!
I truly love you
and wish you would
come along-and be good.
Do all the things I always said you could.
I wish you would see-
these people that you know-
They have NEVER been there-
think back my boy and know!!!
and if you ever see the light-and
remember all you know-
I'll be here as always-
Waiting on you-
at home.

I am waiting at home.
