calls out my name
as I pick her up from the tarmac
another missed flight
another missed period
another trip down
neverneverland
in the cab she screams
and belches
a gutterload of bitterness
scorn shit despair
the kind that
gets to you
thrice we are forced to get down
each time i lift her
drag her luggage
yelling waving
damn cabbies give me
a hard time
at last i find one
she sleeps with her lips parted
vomit oozing eyes pissing tears
spiked with kohl and emptiness
my girl
once she was an angel
that flew and bloomed
shone rained danced
and loved immense
now
my flower is
an abomination
beyond repair
just like my love
for her
shit

In my arms
The rain was falling in the night,
we sat together and you cried,
you were in love with him so long,
I consoled you, I felt so wrong.
Your tears were falling down as well,
I went trough heaven, you trough hell.
You grabbed my hand, I grabbed your arm.
You were so cold, I felt so warm.
Your heart was broken and destroyed,
I felt so bad, yet overjoyed
to feel you in my arms, so weak.
Your soul was frozen and so bleak.
You looked me in the eye and I
couldn't help but also start to cry.
I pressed your head against my chest,
so you could lay it down and rest.
My heart was broken and destroyed,
I felt so bad, I felt so void.
To see you smile, I'd gladly die,
but I would only see you cry.

Sometimes I find myself thinkin
bout all the things you done to me.
And even though you’ve hurt me, Baby,
Your Love is all my eyes can see.
I never got the Love I’ve given,
gave everything I could to you.
But what you give keeps me driven, Baby,
to see that sweet love shine on through.
You can hurt me, Girl,
You can let me down.
You can crush my world, Baby,
long as your Love comes around.
Don’t got a drop of hate for you
inside this heart I’ve come to find.
The only thing that matters, Baby,
Is that you give me your Love in time.
Never cared what people told me.
I’ll never see you through their eyes.
I just need you to Love me, Baby,
Til all the world crashes down and dies.
You can break me, Girl,
You can make me bleed.
You can drain my world, Baby,
Just give your Lovin to me.
Sometimes I find myself Dreamin
bout all the things to me you do.
And I look passed the bullshit, Baby,
Cause there is where I’ve been Lovin You.
You can take it slow.
Kill your misery.
But just let me know, Baby,
When you’ll be lovin Me.
bout all the things you done to me.
And even though you’ve hurt me, Baby,
Your Love is all my eyes can see.

"Inner strength"
Our love was once strong.
I held you in my protecting arms
Your eyes said beauty at every blink
And your smile always made me think
"How can I be so lucky, it's just a dream."
I've fallen for an angel, so it seems.
When we touched I was speechless
No questions asked, I was lost in your eyes.
Those big blue eyes that complemented
That gorgeous smile.
That kissed me with flight,
Foreseeing miles ahead in dangerous delight.
But on that day,
That miserable day.
I found myself broken,
Frozen whereIi lay.
I cried and cried
For endless nights
I could not strive
To break a smile.
Where did I go wrong?
What did I do?
I can't grasp the concept
Of leaving you.
Once so close and yet so far
I found my self crying
All alone, miserable.
I will fight for your love
I will show you my will
My pride isn't broken,
And my heart's only still
So I tried and I tried
And I failed and I failed
Again and again I never yield
I fought for your touch
And I fought for your love
But this isn't how it was supposed to end up
I admit my defeat
I accept that your gone
But the problem is, my heart is still torn
My eyes have failed me
For I cannot see.
The truth of us,
Where would it be?
Months have gone by
And you're still in my mind
Still, I sit in the dark and still, I cry
Your name, it makes my pulse rise
But the thought of you,
It makes my light die
I do not hate,
I do not resent
But what you have done to me
Cannot be said.
My mind in pieces
As well as my heart
I pick up the pieces
But don't know where to start.
I drink myself away
To cover the pain
Ever since you,
A woman's touch
has never been the same.
But I fight on
Not for you,
But my self
Through a perilous journey
My heart is finally felt
Not happiness,
But knowledge.
I know now
How to deal without carnage
It has been two years,
And now I'm okay
I'm finally tired of playing your game
I stand on my own
I don't need your throne.
For I have found solace
and a heart that's reborn.

Outside The Light
You tore out the air
which supplied my heart
then you left me there
to slowly fall apart
saturday lies
even week nights
you'd look in my eyes
outside the light
Remembering , wandering
the back streets of our years
my everything , squandering
a reduction to tears .
You turned to cast
like a hollow thing
I burned to ash
in a molten ring
the kids did ask
for you to bring
yourself back home
to hope we'd cling .
Off the wall
so desperately
I did so fall
descent , gravity
down I went painfully
to cracked cement , a cavity
you walked , hell bent
away from me
how could you dent
our family
these babies were sent
from the heavens to me
how could you have spent
what comes for free .

HATE IS INDIFFERENCE
The opposite of hate is love
But the opposite of love is indifference
How can you live for six years
Share the same bed
Share the same love
Only to be deserted
Not out of hatred
Not out of spite
Only you stopped caring
Indifference to my need for food, clothing and shelter
The opposite of love is not hate
It is indifference
I got back on my feet
Only not to trust again for ten years
Then a follower of the bleeding prophet came along
Who had heard his words
Who showed me trust
Trust is shattered so easily
I could not trust
Even after many many years
Of recovery
I wonder
Who can you trust?
The opposite of hate is love
But the opposite of love is indifference
How can you live for six years
Share the same bed
Share the same love
Only to be deserted
Not out of hatred
Not out of spite
Only you stopped caring
Indifference to my need for food, clothing and shelter
The opposite of love is not hate
It is indifference
I got back on my feet
Only not to trust again for ten years

Even after many many years

"Sunspot Junkie"
http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/43/cf/sunspot.jpg
Been burned so many times,
I feel like a sunspot junkie.
The craving never ends.
Looking
for the true one,
knowing
that pain is often
the price we pay,
for the stain we call love.
I do love to hate it.
Despite the unkindness,
the feelings of happiness
never leave,
I'm addicted
to them.

Fighting The Chill
The chill tonight is different
it penetrates every inch of me
stripping away the give and take
of my heart's agility
invading me
constricting my chest
Yes, tonight I see my soul roll beneath me
like a blanket of fog and
I begin to fight
the unfathomable chill
First, I decorate the emptiness
with whispered words of lovers
and our desire to touch, revive, connect
without thought or limit
to be free to dream
and live together as one
Then, I allow myself to feel
the warmth of my thoughts
as you begin your journey back to me
back inside my heart
my mind, my soul
I begin to feel the chill fade
as I remember how blessed I am
to have had another day with you
The chill tonight is different

stripping away the give and take
of my heart's agility

When It Happens
she walked like I felt
with a stride
of a lumbering kind
no less heavy than my heart
or a ton of bricks beside
but she glanced back and with a sideways grin
smiled through me
the kind of smile that pierces
and pains
but in its essence reassures
everything will be alright
once she turns that corner
and so she did
I went back to my paper
my espresso
with a teaspoon of sugar
and a tear just for the kick
I went back to my day
and what a nice day it was
to be alive

Love and Hate
Love, a flower that blooms
Petals of beauty nodding
Face up towards the sun;
Voices of angels
Choirs with enchanted strains
Made from heaven
Soft and soughing, divine
These are visions of love
Misty within my mind
Lips on cheeks
Kissing tears of sorrow
Hands held to ward off
Sadness and loneliness
Embraces that protects
The gentle throbbing hearts
Of pledged love
Promises to keep
To be together, to cleave
Hate like a poison
Spreads silently unheard
through cracks on armours
of perceived love
kisses burns
touches scorch
loving words insults
drips sarcasm into ears
corals turn to blush
Hurt breeds Hate
Slowly burning insanity
Take that knife
And pierce the heart
That loves
Take that gun
take down crowds
At the schoolyards
Within the hurt,…Hate.

[b]Hate and Love[/b]
Hate like a talon
Golden band on finger
tight vice of lies
thistles on the brows
Dawns of utopian dreams
That never goes beyond day
Fed with careless whispers
From tongue that wags
Empty promises
Hate that grows
From hurts that bind
A hand held growing warmer
Hell grows as molten lips
Kisses the tears
Whispering regrets
Today’s sorry
Becomes tomorrow’s deceits
Filing more hurt hates
Love blooms where it should
Forgiveness and compassion given
Tolerance of errors
Rises from below
The bitterness turns
To emptiness
Hence filling with love
Unconditionally tasteless
Love without needs
Kiss the hands
That slaps the cheeks
Bow at old love and admit defeat
Love grows
Sprinkled with rain
Tears of gladness at the refrain
Of love lost but re-discovered
With red ribbons the rainbow bound
A new love found
Hate like a talon
Golden band on finger
tight vice of lies
thistles on the brows
Dawns of utopian dreams
That never goes beyond day
Fed with careless whispers
From tongue that wags
Empty promises
Hate that grows
From hurts that bind
A hand held growing warmer
Hell grows as molten lips
Kisses the tears
Whispering regrets
Today’s sorry
Becomes tomorrow’s deceits
Filing more hurt hates
Love blooms where it should
Forgiveness and compassion given
Tolerance of errors
Rises from below
The bitterness turns
To emptiness
Hence filling with love

Love without needs
Kiss the hands

Love grows

Dear woman in my view,
You are beautiful.
You voice is soft, your words are sweet,
Your mind is clear and thoughtful.
Your heart is clean, your eyes are lustful.
You could love me, I could love you
If not for the love I've burned through.
For me and you, it can't be true.
I've heard the voice
That cuts through the din
And wildcat roars of the world,
And even the sugared hums,
So that no dread clank could distort the tone,
No joyous sound could exist
And not be immediately counterfeit
In the presence of that voice.
That voice is not yours.
Those words, are not yours,
That feel plucked from an ambrosial patch.
That flow how i flow and how I'd like to.
My heart has loved and broken her,
My eyes of lust have gone dull.
Nothing of you compares to her;
Its what, for you, I can't do.
Your body interests in an absolute way,
I've shattered real, so why not play?
Fuck and sigh and go away,
I can never really want you.
Have your say.
Talk. Talk.Talk.
You are charming.
You're funny and bright, very much so.
I'd be a fool not to wonder who you are
And what you do and what makes you you.
But, I really don't give a shit.
Its not that funny, its not that bright, its not that charming.
You're a background stroke. You're a finely painted nothing.
