Only you
Laying on the floor
Starring at the ceiling
A little hung over
I can't quit this feeling
Found myself thinking
About you again
Now I can't pretend
I'll ever love again
You told me
You have to make your own happiness
But baby I can't find a smile
Except when I think about you
And all the the things we used to do
I just want to talk to you
But now that's hard
Cause you won't see me
But I see you
When I close my eyes
Every damn night
I'd change for you
In a second
Throw it all away
Just to be...

When Paths Meet
I pass by your street
On my way to work everyday
Hoping one day our paths meet
Just to see you again
Would be oh so sweet
It's been years since I've seen you
You were my closest friend
We were perfectly in love
For awhile then you became jaded
But for me that love never faded
I remember when we kissed
You were looking down at me
My head in your lap
Tears in my eyes
How weak I was
You kissed me then
With those sweet lips
The first kiss built on a lie
I regret it
But my love for you isn't a lie
And I can...
On my way to work everyday
Hoping one day our paths meet
Just to see you again
Would be oh so sweet
It's been years since I've seen you
You were my closest friend
We were perfectly in love
For awhile then you became jaded
But for me that love never faded
I remember when we kissed
You were looking down at me
My head in your lap
Tears in my eyes
How weak I was
You kissed me then
With those sweet lips
The first kiss built on a lie
I regret it
But my love for you isn't a lie

A Ghost
Awake
From a dream
That seemed everlasting
Her Warmth
There yet not at all
The cold truth fades in
She was nowhere
When I awoke
Our lips never touched
Skin didn't meet
Pleasures weren't given
Words left unspoken
She is a ghost
A memory of better days
Haunting me in my sleep
She's plagued my dreams
Since the day we met
We kissed, made love
And now that love is gone
Yet I still dream of her lips
The want to hold her hand
Still there after all this time
It was natural for me to fall...
From a dream
That seemed everlasting
Her Warmth
There yet not at all
The cold truth fades in
She was nowhere
When I awoke
Our lips never touched
Skin didn't meet
Pleasures weren't given
Words left unspoken
She is a ghost
A memory of better days
Haunting me in my sleep
She's plagued my dreams
Since the day we met
We kissed, made love
And now that love is gone
Yet I still dream of her lips
The want to hold her hand
Still there after all this time
It was natural for me to fall...

Two years too late
From nothing
A word pierces the night
Like a cold shower on a hot day
Refreshing but not timely
My aching heart, a muscle scorned
Beating with power
Learning to feel again
Hopes and dreams shattered like glass
Put back together
To create a new meaning
Strength from weakness
Built on shoulders slouched by weight
A crack forms only to heal slowly
Will I ever hear her voice again?
So sweet in a jersey accent
Each syllable falling off the tongue
In rhythm with the teeth
A conversation never had
A regret so heavy it haunts me...

Eyes of yesterdays
In memory lost
I find a whisper
So sweet like a cherry
I feel the warmth of another
But nothing is lasting
When beauty mimics
The call of the soul
And the yearning of a heart
A romance beckons so
But the pull is too great
Closer and closer the spiral turns
Until all are cornered in the struggle
A fight for freedom
A battle to end all pain
Oh so weary are the eyes of yesterdays
But it is tomorrow that shines
Lighting the dark crevices of the mind
Today is the day
That matters most
So don't let it fade
Or drift away...

Dark coffee
Bitter with a little sugar
And no creamer
Just how I like
My chocolate sweets
A good conversation
Regardless of common interest
Is all that's needed
I like my women strong
With a little bite
And not willing to fright easily
Because I can be scary smart
But my deep understanding
Keeps my bridges from burning
My interest is great
In ones not afraid of words
Because I'm full of them
Especially twists and turns
And no creamer
Just how I like
My chocolate sweets
A good conversation
Regardless of common interest
Is all that's needed
I like my women strong
With a little bite
And not willing to fright easily
Because I can be scary smart
But my deep understanding
Keeps my bridges from burning
My interest is great
In ones not afraid of words
Because I'm full of them
Especially twists and turns

The scorpion
She danced around
Like the floor was hot sand
Mirror images reflecting
Each movement
And a perfect body
Her hair changes
Faster than the seasons
Blending together in pictures
To show she's never quite content
Strong and flexible
Definitely containing a spine
But lacking patience for sure
She don't take no shit
Lips sealed like a vault
When she gets pissed off
Sleeping only when she needs to
Never having to be told what to do
A great mother in the making
Her stinger strike poisonous
Seeping deeper than blood...
Like the floor was hot sand
Mirror images reflecting
Each movement
And a perfect body
Her hair changes
Faster than the seasons
Blending together in pictures
To show she's never quite content
Strong and flexible
Definitely containing a spine
But lacking patience for sure
She don't take no shit
Lips sealed like a vault
When she gets pissed off
Sleeping only when she needs to
Never having to be told what to do
A great mother in the making
Her stinger strike poisonous

My Jetta
Her dark skin
Glowing in contrast to mine
A silhouette painted by street lights
A storm on the horizon
Each raindrop pinging slowly
Like a heart beat monitor
I touched her smooth belly
And dreamed of it round with child
Each kiss soft and sweet
On lips I loved to watch
Our hands entwined
As I entered into bliss
So tight around me
And wet like the puddles forming
Lightning; a whimper
Thunder; a gasp
We stop and switch positions
I take her like a dog
And push hard till hurts
To hold back the juices
I pull out in...
Glowing in contrast to mine
A silhouette painted by street lights
A storm on the horizon
Each raindrop pinging slowly
Like a heart beat monitor
I touched her smooth belly
And dreamed of it round with child
Each kiss soft and sweet
On lips I loved to watch
Our hands entwined
As I entered into bliss
So tight around me
And wet like the puddles forming
Lightning; a whimper
Thunder; a gasp
We stop and switch positions
I take her like a dog
And push hard till hurts
To hold back the juices
I pull out in...

Hug
She said goodbye
A little fear choked up
In her voice
I didn't want her to leave
And she wasn't ready to go
She gave me a hug
Tight and warm
Almost like she didn't want
To let go of me
I couldn't help
But think of what could be
A great friendship in the making
Maybe even something more
And it all started with open hearts
In a place where people talk
Just because they're bored
A little fear choked up
In her voice
I didn't want her to leave
And she wasn't ready to go
She gave me a hug
Tight and warm
Almost like she didn't want
To let go of me
I couldn't help
But think of what could be
A great friendship in the making
Maybe even something more
And it all started with open hearts
In a place where people talk
Just because they're bored

Prisoner
So many days wasted
So many hours burned
So many words written
So many tears shed
So many friends made
And I'm still here
While everyone's gone
Forgotten, moved on
Left in the dust
And ashes of yesterday
Stuck like a record
Repeat! Repeat! Repeat!
Recycled air
Same dirty sheets
Wake up and start again
Take a shower
Eat breakfast
Pray for something new
To make my stay different
Home seems so far away
Like a prisoner
Looking for a little faith
And fun to pass the day
So many hours burned
So many words written
So many tears shed
So many friends made
And I'm still here
While everyone's gone
Forgotten, moved on
Left in the dust
And ashes of yesterday
Stuck like a record
Repeat! Repeat! Repeat!
Recycled air
Same dirty sheets
Wake up and start again
Take a shower
Eat breakfast
Pray for something new
To make my stay different
Home seems so far away
Like a prisoner
Looking for a little faith
And fun to pass the day

Nowhere visit
Sometimes I dream
Of a place by the ocean
Sipping on tea
In a seat of wooden cast
Sand beneath our toes
My hand entwined with yours
Watching the sun rise
And fall on children
From tall to small
Making castles doomed to crumble
And playing games with laughter
Tuned to a rumble
Maybe we'd dance
With our feet in the water
Have fun in the waves
Causing such a commotion
A silence always broken
Taste of sea mist in the air
On lips salty fall a kiss
When we're sure young ones
Do not care or dare to stare
A nowhere...
Of a place by the ocean
Sipping on tea
In a seat of wooden cast
Sand beneath our toes
My hand entwined with yours
Watching the sun rise
And fall on children
From tall to small
Making castles doomed to crumble
And playing games with laughter
Tuned to a rumble
Maybe we'd dance
With our feet in the water
Have fun in the waves
Causing such a commotion
A silence always broken
Taste of sea mist in the air
On lips salty fall a kiss
When we're sure young ones
Do not care or dare to stare

Peace
A time when your spirit and soul
Are perfectly in tune
Not hard to to reminisce
Because memories like those
Are few and far between
I remember the times
When we used to sit
And eat breakfast
At a shitty Waffle House
Off Airport Road
We'd talk for hours
Connect on another level
I've never conversated before
Long before any physical contact
No more than maybe just a hug
I'd watch your lips
And dream of the first kiss
Yet it's funny how
I can't remember it
But I do ruminate
On the grits with sugar...
Are perfectly in tune
Not hard to to reminisce
Because memories like those
Are few and far between
I remember the times
When we used to sit
And eat breakfast

No more than maybe just a hug
I'd watch your lips
And dream of the first kiss
Yet it's funny how
