A Poem to my Love

Barron Eclipse

His lips were like poison
just one kiss too much
his skin was like fire
you just couldn't touch.

Just one kiss to much
I must tear away
you just couldn't touch
my heart fell astray.

I must tear away
I have to hold on
my heart fell astray
with his hypnotic song.

I have to hold on
it's so hard to try
with his hypnotic song
our worlds collide.

It's so hard to try
with each dieing note
our worlds collide
and together we float.

With each dieing note
my pain lingers on
and together we float
to you I am drawn.

My pain lingers on
so I must say
to you I am drawn
but I can not stay.

So I must say
with a hole in my heart
I can not stay
and  we move apart.

With a hole in my heart
my love still is strong
and we move apart
I start missing your song.

My love still is strong
this can not be
I start missing your song
you start missing me.

This can not be
each word a lie
you start missing me
as I start to cry.

Each word a lie
from his poison lips
as I start to cry
on this barren eclipse.

My Poetic Crush

Again I find myself pathetic waiting here alone
a love sick puppy on this virtual streetcorner.
Hoping to see your latest poem posted on my updates
or perchance to see your comments on my recent work.
 
While I've only known of you for several months
I feel that you are surely a spirit most kindred.
Getting to know you via your lovely poems and messages
falling deeply in love with you from the inside out.
 
Usually I am able to catch myself, let reason speak
reminding me that this is such silly wanton fancy.
Pointing out how little I really know about you
and that which I do could be but a wicked disguise.
 
But then my heart floods and pumps strongly romantic
intoxicating me with the most wild sensuous imaginings.
My head nestled on your lap as you read me tender rhyme
interupted only by many long wet kissing intermissions.
 
At night I lie down beside my betrothed cold and guilty
as I long for sweet sleep to rescue me with dreams of you.
Sharing these seductive dreamful tristes of poetic bliss
till dawn douces me with the ice chilled water of reality.
 
Oh that I could but stand up and shout out my feelings
let you know that which only poetry can truly confess.
But I have not the epic strength nor the required valor  
for this bard to step out from behind the safety of his poetry.

COVET


thoughts of you drinch my mind,
i pull at my hair and scram out loud.
needing you here from the kiss of your lips.
every momment with you makes me all mad,
remember from lust of all we had

Beyond my imagination,Killed my inner silence.
in a waste of shame you baught me violence.
from the sunny valleys sought for the open sea,
emotionally desterbed waves drank of me.

mass fluid frightens me and extinguishis the light.
i cant brake free i cant find it in me.

were you there or just a image in my dream. such voice to the experience of disaster.
day after day, that just dosnt go by,
you taunt thy love and then deny.
The person I seem goes carelessly, Gradually disappearing
into the night.

Hiding away from the lover's eye.
standing alone, give all and taking nothing.

voices tell, to stand for one brief space,
Unfettered, soul to soul, from my face to face.

Could i but learn
could i but guess
only but i  foretell my story of distress

-Kumiko Yamamoto

Like Angels

Imagine:

Floodgates releasing
Violet dreamstate watercolor.

Luminous copper moon
floating within a glass
tangerine sky.

Blinking diamond stars
Exposed ..within
Midnight mosiac.

black shards

Silver cinders

burning within
Orange fury.



Incandescent crystal
lacerated a spunglass
Scarlet heart.


Beauty composed.

orchestrated
midnight melodies..


Lilac rivers
A weeping willows song

Remember
peace flowing blue.

Emptiness paints a journey.
Hollow reflections diminish.

Sorrow frozen
Time leaves

soft kisses
gentle breathing
hearts beating in
tune...

Stardust And ashy
Wishes
Swirling
Out of control
Within the atmosphere



Capture my heart
Free my Soul.



Let us soar like
Angels...

And skim the moon.

Crazy Love

Am I crazy to fall madly in love with you
and to yearn for your caress, and your elusive kiss
Our nightly tryst of passionate whispers
fill our hearts with desires so intense
As our passion-filled bodies yearn for more,
join me in my dreams and share my crazy love.

My dreams of you were obscured by my selfish desires
for I was lured by the grandeur of a carefree city life
Then one day you showed up in the flesh
our bodies were fusioned by our tight embrace
As we felt the burning sensations thru our lips
your silent quest to find me, has come to an end.

Here I am my love, hearken to my plea
I love you then and now, but your heart can’t see.
My childhood glances as I caught your sweet smile,
revealed more than what my young heart could say.
Every time I smiled you knew, there was something more.

Am I crazy for loving you my Adelaide
You are smart and lovely, elegant and compassionate
you were the girl of my dreams, and never been forgotten
I beseech you to look at the bright side
and never to forget why we love each other so.

Watch the birds flying freely across the sun drenched sky
You will find me in their midst as I join their flight
Come fly with me our souls entwined,
and retrace our paths where it all began
Feel our crazy love, once innocent and pure.

My Adelaide

My Adelaide--you amazed me
in so many pleasant ways;
you're smart and lovely,
elegant and compassionate.
You walk the walk, you talk the talk,
and your actions speak louder
in your own philanthropic ways.

You gain respect with your attitude
and mutual admiration among your peers,
and above all you have a heart so pure
filled with love and nothing more.

I admired your sense of humor
when you said, “Cars run on water.”
Nobody has the courage to argue,
for you got a strong conviction.
You got subtle ways of saying things;
somebody has to pay attention,
or else they lose your love and affection.

You were just blooming…my lovely Adelaide
just like the violet flowers from your farm
when I was first attracted by your charm.
We both sucked the nectars with desires:
longing for something, we can’t explain;
we didn’t know then that was a prelude
to a love eternal, our spirits shall exude.

Your eyes which can see through my mortal soul
and your silky, long flowing hair - an envy
of every damsels in town, including the winged dainty Lady
who lived in the nearby mountain - her kingdom by the sea.

I’ve always dreamt about you every single night
trying to recreate that moment when I held you tight;
I can still feel your warm, soft body next to mine
as we embraced and kissed for the very first time!

Oh my Adelaide--my lovely Adelaide
the bittersweet memories, shall I regret?
For only in my dreams could I,
make love with you after that fateful night.

Who would have thought that we shall meet again
if not by stroke of Fate, then what could have been;
your silent prayers could have reached the heavens,
when you claimed me that night…
a night - both of us won’t ever forget!

My Adelaide--you are the reason
I was able to fly once more!
Day after day you encourage my dreams,
uplift my spirits and inspire my heart;
you challenged me to be the best as I can be,
and transformed me in every way.
Yet, you love me for who I am,
and not for what you wanted me to be.

Sometimes I think it would be better
that you just pierce my heart,
so I won’t feel the pain of your heartache -
a secret: I promised to keep till the end.
Let’s forget the past and enjoy the present;
savor every moment as if it’s our last.

The doctors said you have a murmuring heart
when I took you to the emergency ward;
it was absolutely true for you never really shout
what you truly feel deep inside.
As I sat down beside your hospital bed,
and watched you while asleep;
I prayed solemnly to God to take me instead,
for you don’t deserve to leave early
with your dreams and hopes partially fulfilled.

In these times of uncertainty
when all your needs and fear collide
just remember I’m always by your side;
set aside your pride, my lovely Adelaide
to me you can always confide.

Have faith in the Lord above, leave your worries behind;
be happy at all times and live your life to the fullest.
Set your mind to automatic cruise control,
and let your love--guide its course.
