Night to day
Restless, sitting thinking
Tired eyes blinking
Moon above glowing
Passing clouds flowing
Wishing to a starless sky
Too late to be awake
Still, I sit as the night does take
Take away my rest
Aching heart beating my chest
Night, pass on by
Neighbors sleeping deep
I know I should be asleep
However, there is a scent tickling my nose
Your perfume, I suppose
Now I wonder if this will pass
Haunting me
Taunting me
Caressing me
Stressfully
Causing my heart to beat so fast
Its...

Sands of our glass
I held your hand and we walked the beach
We sat on a wooden pier
The laughter was a bandaid to my years
Thinking I was happy just to be here
Sunset tilted the earth
Tipping the day adieu
Waves pushing water and sand over our feet
What a wonderful walk with you
Endless I wanted that moment to be
I did receive my gift
I have not forgotten that day
I saved it for times like this
Months have come
Days seem to pass
I shall toast to the good times
Pour the sands from our glass
...

Bend
Today I woke up and had thoughts of you
This process has to take its course
I try to keep my thoughts off of you
As you seem to live with no remorse
My hands are shaky and my heart flutters
Wondering how did this come to be
My every action for so long has been for you
Wondering if you ever considered me
Its okay, I will learn how to get along
I won't be bitter or hate
I will sit and dream of what we could have been
The same as I worked for us to be and now its too late
A heart is rare to find these days
Mine...

Alone...it comes.
It comes, the rain
I saw it cross the plain
Thick dark clouds, dark blue sky
I feel it, loneliness once again
Raindrops tap as they land on the tin
Big drops drop drop on my skin
I inhale the smell before the storm begins
Sensation unanswered, loneliness comes again
The birds have disappeared
Traffic on this lone road has slowed
The thunder shakes my bones
The lightening almost making my heart explode
Alone
It comes
Comes again
The touch of the neck
The kiss on my lips ...
I saw it cross the plain
Thick dark clouds, dark blue sky
I feel it, loneliness once again
Raindrops tap as they land on the tin
Big drops drop drop on my skin
I inhale the smell before the storm begins
Sensation unanswered, loneliness comes again
The birds have disappeared
Traffic on this lone road has slowed
The thunder shakes my bones
The lightening almost making my heart explode
Alone
It comes
Comes again
The touch of the neck
The kiss on my lips ...

Leaves
On the park bench beneath the trees, there is a box filled with memories
I left them there purposely, to wither amongst the dying leaves
Cold northern wind rubs my cheeks and I breathe, pushing on just like a breeze
Seasons come and go, fall in and fall out
Falling in love in Autumn and the next moving on without them
Passion that kept away the chill
Now a cold heart wishing love was forgotten
Collar up
Button up
It blows
Winds of change
Fall or be falling
Pleasure
Pain
Right there on that park...
I left them there purposely, to wither amongst the dying leaves
Cold northern wind rubs my cheeks and I breathe, pushing on just like a breeze
Seasons come and go, fall in and fall out
Falling in love in Autumn and the next moving on without them
Passion that kept away the chill
Now a cold heart wishing love was forgotten
Collar up

Winds of change
Fall or be falling

At the tip of a flame
Been sitting in this old rocking chair
Wasting the day away
Thinking back on things I've done, decisions I made
Feeling this once youthful heart decay
There was times I can say I cried it out
Sometimes I was angry sitting in this chair
A couple of times I sat and cursed myself out
A few times I sat here and dreamed away
Made a few shooting star wishes for riches
Watched my sons grow handsome and strong
Wrote a couple of songs
I remember my grandmother telling me to be better than her and my grandfather
Said that...
Wasting the day away

Just the good
When we were young, I remember
Meeting you for the very first time
You became my best friend
You know, a best friend that told me everything that was on your mind
I was a lost one, big glasses
Outcast to most
But cool enough to be your friend
We were so close
You had long hair, I mean really long hair
Your cheeks a rosy tint
We dated each other's friends and cried on each other's shoulders
We survived and high school went
I was sailing many places after
I always thought of you
Then one day you called me ...
Meeting you for the very first time

You know, a best friend that told me everything that was on your mind

Teeter
I sat and thought a while, so many things I could say. I wanted to get to core of what I want to tell you even tho you will never see this and don't really pay attention to my poetry. Its ok, this is my peace for the pain of us. I forgive you, forgive me. Live for me. My words could never express how I have loved you.
I did need you, at a time that I was at my all time best.
I needed you to realize who you really were.
I didn't trust your heart in the hands of another
I knew I had to be there to help
I reached out my hand and heart
You came to...
I did need you, at a time that I was at my all time best.

That ol self
Winning is the looser that has won only to loose it
Can't seem to follow the right path, but others seem to make it no matter how they choose it
Whether it's the dope, money or just music
Dirty or clean they make it or just confuse it
Me, I find I know less, everyday I pray and then I receive my test
Throughout my struggles I think to do best
Still, I end up behind and its another blow for the mind
I heard a man call himself a two time looser, I have lost count of my losses
I have been played out by them all, women, friends and bosses
I am...

Lord!
Its been a while since we sat and chat
I guess you know why I'm here on my knees, ceiling on my back
I know, I know that sometimes we just can't get right
I'm praying that I get right to end these lonely nights
Lord! I want to pray for her
That she is not to far away from being here
I pray she makes it safely to my door here soon
Trouble without her here with me, what do I do
Played all of my playlist, all sad tunes
Lord! Don't let me make her go away
Send her back to stay
Lord! Help me change it around
I promise, I will be better ...

Tell them
I sat in my chair today
Thinking of ways
I would have done things different
I wonder if they would have listened
To everything my heart had to say
Would have made them stay
The things you don't know to say
Until they are gone away
Sometimes there are bad jokes
At wrong time that seems like a poke
The words come out broken
In a way that leaves you frozen
The mood is then chosen
Your heart becomes broken
But tell them
Tell them
Tell them what you really mean
If your heart is right there
How you loved...

When i think about love
When I think of love, my core begins to shake
Fluttering, my heart beats
Breath seems hard to take
Knowing that its the thrill
Its forever and life it may take
To find true love to mend the cracks
The cracks that once caused the heart to break
I know it takes time and a willingness to give
I heard it takes loving yourself
Learning how to live
Some say that it flows to you like rain
Some say they have to love you more
It goes and comes again
I don't know, I have my own ideas...
Fluttering, my heart beats
