You
I have so much
I want to tell you,
But I can't find
the strength to say
what needs to be said.
I love you with all
my heart and I don't
care what anyone has
to say about it. You
are everything to me
and always have been.
I hope you know how
this is for me to
say...but will
you say you'll stay
and that you feel
the same way

One Perfect Day
Running for the bus as it's driving away
You stopped the driver, began my perfect day
Floored by a strangers face and inviting smile
I came undone in less than a mile
Our conversation flowed with beautiful ease
My army defeated and down on their knees
As we approach the station there is fear in my heart
The end of the road is here, the moment we part
We both step off the bus in perfect time
I attempt to disguise my unraveling mind
Every fibre of my being wants to ask you to stay
I save my courage for another day
As I walk away my heart threatens attack
You reach out for my arm and gently pull me back
Be mine for this day? forget these feelings are strange
Tomorrow we return to our lives and nothing will change
I think of that day as I am nearing my last
More than the days of the thirty years passed
How can one day remain locked inside?
Still longing for all the nights we denied
The end lingers close and softly whispers I die tomorrow
Nothing can take back the day you saved me from sorrow.

Your Love.
I love you more than you will ever know
Words can't convey all my heart has to say
you are my everything, the moon to my stars
The sound of your voice sets my heart ablaze
when you look in my eyes and see past the flaws
to the real me I'm left in a daze
In my darkness you are always there
to show me you will always care
Like a ray of sunshine your love keeps me warm
together we can weather any storm
The words I Love You have never ment more to me
Take my hand and walk with me a glorious
never ending journey is our path
Forever by your side I will stand
you will always be my miracle
and if there comes a time I start to fall
all I have to do is look in your eyes
I love you more than you will ever know
Words can't convey all my heart has to say
you are my everything, the moon to my stars
The sound of your voice sets my heart ablaze
when you look in my eyes and see past the flaws
to the real me I'm left in a daze
In my darkness you are always there
to show me you will always care
Like a ray of sunshine your love keeps me warm
together we can weather any storm
The words I Love You have never ment more to me
Take my hand and walk with me a glorious
never ending journey is our path
Forever by your side I will stand
you will always be my miracle
and if there comes a time I start to fall
all I have to do is look in your eyes
Mystery Woman
Am I in love with you?
With those lips that are proud
And a voice that has no doubt,
Those eyes who know what their dream is
And a look that cant elsewhere be found?
Am I so smitten with you,
That I am trying to touch the fog?
Or are you the fog that will be nowhere to feign, when the sun will shine again?
Tell me what my mind always says, but your lips forbid
That you will be mine and our journey divine.
"Dont get carried away boy",you say
"For I am a wind that knows no bound,
A mind that is very very sound.
A light that is out of Newton's reach,
A speech holier than Moses' preach.
I am the wind that makes the world alive,
And a shining star that will forever survive.
I am easy to crave for but hard to get
The girl who can make your dreams go wet!
Can you see the diamonds in the sky?
Get me one which is just so fine.
Then I can take your head amid my breasts
And let you there,forever rest".
So here I am in search of a dream
Armed with a voice and a mind to write.
A stream that gallops down the moon,I have to swim there very soon.
Because I want to reach your heart
And be there right from the start.
To touch you,kiss you and love you more
And heal away all our hidden sores......

Qualia
The poetry that seeped
from the pores of you
was destined to be my mantra
there, the words entered
licking and stinging my aura
to caress the implausible truths
of what I knew; though
what I could not perceive
I could never digest.
You -
entered like a God
with a Rubik's soul
teaching flat lungs
to breathe you in,
to acknowledge the taste
of sweetened sense,
the exhale;
against lips red with love
and though your entrance
arrived unnoticed, your leaving
allowed me to learn.

Love, eh?
Kinda funny
what is true love?
it comes in many forms
none of which can be thought of
as standing apart
from real
I love the guy who writes to my center
and the lady with beautiful eyes
it's an honest feeling
from deep within
though I've never met them
or even tried
I love the man who holds me at night
brings me my coffee
shares my life
and I love my child
and a few more
a multitude of friends
and musicians galore
even have some family left
and I couldn't love them more
I love all the animals
nature, what's left of good in humans
and even a creator
and me..
I must love myself
That's how I'm able to
love everyone else

I AM FALLING IN LOVE
I am falling in love with photos of elegant men, they did not know they had seduced me with their words and with the icon they set, reading their words, hearing their voices, set in motion no choices, but to go back again and again to listen, look and read, and in so doing, fall further in love with the ephemera of the poet, dreaming of the beauty of the features of his face, he was not one, but many, and sequentially, I went from poet to poet, idolizing each and then taking something from them, that which could not be returned, so now it is you I have fallen in love with, which begs the question, how do you fall in love with a photo and a poet with only his words as his testament?
Falling inlove
Poisoned girl left to lie
To wither, rot, and die
Showed the horrors, yet so young
Tainted before her song was sung
Shredded heart, caused by man
Meant to hurt her all they can
And they did
When I found her all alone
She was stripped to the bone
Her beauty, they all stole
In place, a darkened hole
For she would not believe
For why I could not leave
She was beautiful
Ripped chest wide to show my heart
Bound it to hers to make it start
Try to make her feel as I do
To see what I see, when I look at you
Take my hand, and you will see
Exactly how much you mean to me
Under the stars we'll lay at night
But none compare to your sight
With whispered kisses upon your cheek
And endless sweets I wish speak
I can not leave
With eyes locked without a word
But still a million giggles to be heard
To lay alone, but always together
With locked hands, bound forever
And each night that it's just us two
It will be the best night yet
Because I'm with you.
(I wrote this for a girl. within a week she broke up with me and is currently going out with my roommate and best friend)

Changeling
Sometimes
I get drunk on power
and speak to the darkness
coaxing the vibrations
along on spider silk
drumming morse code
into your cochlea
the nerve pulses bellydancing
like a roomful of lit candles.
I see your dreams shifting
as my presence thickens
spinning flames and waves
into a second heaven.
Your husk shudders
before it splits
and breaks the spell
higher selves smiling
beneath mother moon.

Seed/Cede
Allow me to cut open
the weight of such pulp
where nerves take in deeply
like my glade of lips do
when crowning your rising trunk.
Pitch is inaudible to me in this swaying
canopy, branching through.
Here you carve out tenderness
marking your beloved pet
once a wild sapling.
Collared to your lap
molasses pours from stock too stoic
to beg for the fall
even when it wants to.
Tip, tip, tipping ever over.
Is this copse with sound for you
this breeze that gnashes like saw's teeth?
Can you hear the bite of my lumbering ?
Count my rings, trace them
back to their sprouting.
Sucking you into me from the root
I am straight in these timberings
that I can not hear, but feel
grazing this forest base
where my thin leafy veins lay down
and howl…
You are the seed
of something always growing in me.
You are the seed
of something lush, and heavy.
You are simply the cede.

The Other Eye
There was a crash
from afar,
the shatter of I, me , another queen
with a sailor standing on a cliff
holding a stolen eye
There was a bard
I finally found
lost in the old momentums,
then queen broke his lying mirror lustfully
and taught him to defy
to see clearer
The mind being made of glass
he saw and held,
Is taught him to believe
that I rather be dead than
revel in being, closeminded, because
thee must be dead to the world.
Dear bard
my other poet, you are found now,
my other eye, Came has Come
the plato from your shatter island I will always
keep
Question is, how far can you see?
