And There Is Love
That one something
Someone
Dirty
Someone
Clean
Enduring the pains
Enjoying everything
Ultimately ready
Always willing
Forgiving
Walking away
Smiles
Tears
Hopes
Wishes
Agony
Screams
No love?
No such thing
And there is love
Love
Still to be seen
The lonely times
Sour times
Bitter and mean
Until loved
Giving to another
Sharing a gain
Helping each other through pain
Lifting the less above
We use and abuse
Fight...

Measured
Pressed into my arm
Your hands still have their place
Never enough of your touch
Lost in your eyes
River inside me cool
That face, never too much
Childhood memories new
You create in me the child
How long will you stay today
How long will you lay here
Sleeping or awake, seconds, minutes
Hours can just pass away
In the crease of my hand, fingertips
Just a kiss away, inch to your lips
Your foot in top of mine
Circles, softly caress your hips
Time is flying as my mind slips
Never...
Your hands still have their place
Never enough of your touch
Lost in your eyes
River inside me cool
That face, never too much
Childhood memories new
You create in me the child
How long will you stay today
How long will you lay here
Sleeping or awake, seconds, minutes
Hours can just pass away
In the crease of my hand, fingertips
Just a kiss away, inch to your lips
Your foot in top of mine
Circles, softly caress your hips
Time is flying as my mind slips
Never...

Blown away
Taken in the wind, she ripples ribbon dancing free
Wind to my back watching her fly away from me
Silent tears that fall to the ground inches from my feet
Whistling wind, cold and you leave
Leaves rolling across the ground like words upon my soul
Some hang on to the trees
You fly further
Faster
Higher
Away
So far I can't see
See
You passing by and I am stuck in the blue and white stripped dress
Lord bless
Or the smile of you
Feeling complete each morning
Good in my view
Fly
Wind blow ...
Wind to my back watching her fly away from me
Silent tears that fall to the ground inches from my feet
Whistling wind, cold and you leave
Leaves rolling across the ground like words upon my soul
Some hang on to the trees
You fly further
Faster
Higher
Away
So far I can't see
See
You passing by and I am stuck in the blue and white stripped dress
Lord bless
Or the smile of you
Feeling complete each morning
Good in my view
Fly
Wind blow ...

Right it down
I have gazed into the rising sun
Wondering when it would be my turn
My turn to shine
Overcome
Succeed
I got used to the sunspots
Constantly moving before my eyes
Even in the mirror, the spots blocked views of me
When staring at the star, recognizing it's power
Using it to power my life
I have given all I've got
Recognizing my strength, my source
I rise and all around me becomes hot
Unsuspecting
Downlookers
Power wanna be's
Takers
Deal breakers
Spots in this view I see
Humble I stand
I...
Wondering when it would be my turn
My turn to shine
Overcome
Succeed
I got used to the sunspots
Constantly moving before my eyes
Even in the mirror, the spots blocked views of me
When staring at the star, recognizing it's power
Using it to power my life
I have given all I've got
Recognizing my strength, my source
I rise and all around me becomes hot
Unsuspecting
Downlookers

Sunshine
The sun is setting
Falling asleep for the day
Glowing bright as if it was trying to fight
Above the tall trees is a fire in the sky
Setting with the sun is my soul
Darkness falls and my eyes can see no more
Not a drop of today's world left to see
Then I blink and behind my eyelids I see...you...me
Hmm, I guess it's burned in
How you shine to me like sun
I sit here remembering the days
The night has come
No more sun
I still feel fingers like the warm of her rays
Gently across my fingers
I could see her upon my skin ...
Falling asleep for the day

Coming back
After the first night, I wondered in my mind
The next day, I didn't know what to do
The weeks that followed, were like holes in time
A month later, I still thought of you
Rotting away
Felt like death
Nothing was right
I had nothing left
I swear that I could see through my flesh
I couldn't fit into life
I called myself less
A few months passed and I saw you
Living like you were never wrong
While I was barely making it, you made it
You grew strong
It felt like you stuck a needle in my eye ...
The next day, I didn't know what to do

Music box
She sits alone in a box
White walls surround
No windows to look outside
Captive inside of a box with nothing else around
Thoughts have come and gone in there
Nothing there will change
She can't escape and even if she did, things would never be the same
So she sits
Waits
Unable to cry
Tears swell
Not one tear drops from her eye
White like the inside of the box is her dress
Plain without design
Made of the best material that any man would find
Skin smooth as silk
Straight long hair
Her eyes...
White walls surround
No windows to look outside
Captive inside of a box with nothing else around
Thoughts have come and gone in there
Nothing there will change
She can't escape and even if she did, things would never be the same
So she sits
Waits
Unable to cry
Tears swell
Not one tear drops from her eye
White like the inside of the box is her dress
Plain without design
Made of the best material that any man would find
Skin smooth as silk
Straight long hair
Her eyes...

I hear
I hear them say that it doesn't exist
A love that is true
I refuse to believe what they say
I'll keep trying
That's what I'll do
I hear them say that I better think about myself
Really, every time I do I miss things
Wrapped up in a fog of self
Missing the little things
I hear them say attraction is the start to everything
Maybe so, depends on what you are attracted to
Is it the body, face or soul
I say we have to search ourselves to know what we want them to do
My opinion, what I hear
It...

DARK POEM

The wanting
It's been a year since the accident happened, one wet and dark Holloween
Two lovers driving fast and laughing, music loud
Yelling lyrics and having fun, they sing
They say some animal ran out
Skidding off of the road, they missed it
Propelled through the brush, the car twisted
Finally crashing into a tree with the hood crinkled and lifted
She sat still buckled in
Looked to the left at her friend
Something big grabbed him
She heard a cry, but couldn't see clear
Blood in her eyes mixed with tears
The last time she ever saw him ...
Two lovers driving fast and laughing, music loud
Yelling lyrics and having fun, they sing
They say some animal ran out
Skidding off of the road, they missed it
Propelled through the brush, the car twisted
Finally crashing into a tree with the hood crinkled and lifted
She sat still buckled in
Looked to the left at her friend
Something big grabbed him
She heard a cry, but couldn't see clear
Blood in her eyes mixed with tears
The last time she ever saw him ...

Love, it comes for me
Late night awake
On the edge of the bed
Tired and worn
Sitting alone
Hand on my head
Thinking of
Wonderous ways to love
What if I
Maybe if
One day
Starts my thoughts
Then I am caught
Dancing alone in the midnight
Knowing I should be sleep
Sharing a moment with someone that isn't there
Love, it comes for me
Tired as I am
No good sleep
Taking my time driving in
Radio stations playing a song
I feel it
It sinks right in
I want to feel
What she just...
On the edge of the bed
Tired and worn
Sitting alone
Hand on my head
Thinking of
Wonderous ways to love
What if I
Maybe if
One day
Starts my thoughts
Then I am caught
Dancing alone in the midnight
Knowing I should be sleep
Sharing a moment with someone that isn't there
Love, it comes for me
Tired as I am
No good sleep
Taking my time driving in
Radio stations playing a song
I feel it
It sinks right in
I want to feel
What she just...

The friend
One last hope
Fragile
In the hands of faith
Courage misplaced
Tired of landing flat
On your face, I see
Things may have gone wrong
Let it be past
Time is moving on so fast
I see in you
Everything I wish I could be
You know how to survive
Keep it alive
Though your heart holds pain
Let them all laugh
Keep coming back
I notice you
I notice you
Don't let it get away
Let yourself go this time
How he will love
If you will show him its okay
Your sweet hands
Let them...

Keeper
Deep
Inside
I see it spinning
The part
Piece
Square in the groove
Holding firm
Allowing the rest of me
Move
Tested
Hardened
Binded
Still connecting the gears
Made to run for years
Not even a squeak
Each corner perfect
The last
Thing
Lasting
Beyond the rest
The best
Part
Simplistic art
Square
Will be there until removed
Tried
Proved
Hard to get to
Deeper
Brain shaft to will
Wheel of self
Around the keeper
