Lover's
Lover’s distant, lover’s divine
Lover’s distend to lover’s dine
Lover’s instinct, lover’s fate
Lover’s feelings are to mate
Lover’s love, Lover’s Crime
Lover’s broken by love’s time
Lover’s trial, Lover’s pain
Lover’s mind is again insane
Lover’s Passions, Lover’s Heat
Lover’s untouched by deceit
Lover’s freedom, lover’s lust
Lover’s should be forever in trust
Lover’s ways, lover’s Days
Lover's often face unwanted delays
Lover’s young, lover’s old
Lovers never do as they are told
Lover ages, Lover dies
Lover...
Lover’s distend to lover’s dine

Just Another Love Story
It begins as humble as most stories
No one could have guessed the glories
The heart aches he faced
Fathom how he never changed pace
He saw the world through silent eyes
Nodding to peoples lies and goodbyes
Fighting the fight of man with no chance
Standing up for those who didn’t have a stance
Broken he kept his life together
Surviving life’s never ending weather
Kicked he would stand back up
Always drinking from an empty cup
Then one day, a women came along
Her heart and soul sang a song
Which warmed his...

Lover's Contract
Heartbeats increase as we attract
Giving rise to a most intimate act
At the point of lover’s contact
Our lips form a contract
AS hands meet like wild vine
Allowing fingers to intertwine
Forming a supportive bine
Guiding bodies to a line
Breathing in as skin meets skin
Eye’s share views far from sin
Fantasy in minds does spin
Soon now, lover’s lives will begin
Lust breeds trust with each thrust
Restoring souls from...

Rise
You say I am shame
No intellect does reflect
Placed to lose the game
I need you to protect
To face your words so cold
Turn cheek when you strike
Always do as I am told
Only as you like
Smile never frown
Don’t talk out of turn
Always polish your crown
Be singed as you burn
Clean up the mess you make
Constantly give all of me
Never need nor want to take
That’s better than being free
I believed I was worth nothing
Your torture worked well
I am more than your play thing
I have...

Fire of Roses
The sweet female fragrance
Fills my unworthy nose
Followed by flames of arrogance
Sparks the fire of the rose
Every rose is covered in thorns
Protecting itself from others
As each devil masks its horns
Every demon has a mother
Rose’s colors do vary
As do the sins each comment
Every beauty has something scary
With dangerously hidden content
Roses know their own game
Hate watching others gain
What they believe is their fame
Till each rose lives in vain
The fire of roses will always burn ...
Fills my unworthy nose
Followed by flames of arrogance
Sparks the fire of the rose
Every rose is covered in thorns
Protecting itself from others
As each devil masks its horns
Every demon has a mother
Rose’s colors do vary
As do the sins each comment
Every beauty has something scary
With dangerously hidden content
Roses know their own game
Hate watching others gain
What they believe is their fame
Till each rose lives in vain
The fire of roses will always burn ...

Act of the Depressed
Sorrow filled eyes
Mouth of lies
Hidden tries
Final goodbyes
Having mastered depression
It becomes an obsession
Unable to let it go
Scared to again grow
It’s a death sentence
In the way of not living
The weight of its penitence
Never self forgiving
Shaky hands
No one understands
The inner bands
And their demands
Joy is so pressured
Cursing those assured
Who live in light
Unchained by inner blight
Wishing not to be alone
Yet it never seems to fail ...

Some May Call Me
Some may call me grumpy,
Others may call me kind.
Some may call me boring,
Others call me to unwind.
Some may call me crass,
Others may call me loving.
Some may call me structured,
Others may call me moving.
Some may call me strange,
Others may call me normal.
Some may call me secure,
Others call me informal.
I may call myself stupid,
As others call me smart.
I may call myself foolish,
As others hold my heart.
It matters on how you know me,
On which me you meet.
Just know I don’t...

Clever Spark
We all leave a mark
A semblance of our spark
Each action we take
Can become another’s mistake.
Steps of great joy
Turn love, to toy
No love’s remorse
Creates reason to change course
Each step I drop
Drop a piece of me
Now I can’t stop
Stop and just be
The others who can see
See what I left
The others who are free
Free till they are theft
Robbed of their glee
Glee loses its value
Robbed of their rage
Rage fades from you

Repeating Victim
My legs are gone and my eyes are white
I am lost in the dark with out the light
My hands are crushed, and my arms are broken
My voice is taken away by words unspoken
My flesh has become cold and numb
As my ears became mute and dumb
All that is left is my sense of smell
As I fall into this endless hell
The stench alone causes me to gag
I feel this moment begin to drag
As my soul struggles to escape
From my dismembered shape
I choke do to lunges full of blood
I bleed from my nose to create mud
In the dirt around my disfigured...

Take My Hand
The woe you feel I know it well
Leaving will only make it swell
It’s easy to see the damage done
Covering it up with simple fun
Eyes can’t hide behind a smile
Believing the pain will only last awhile
Seeing the truth through the tone
How your heart feels broken and alone
The strong front you used
Keeping yourself from the abused
Viewing such a wonderful heart
That it should never be apart
To hold it far from fear
Wrap it in a loving sphere
As there is more than pain
Even more love to ascertain
...

A Chance of Love
I often wonder why love is so hard,
Why people hold onto a broken shard,
Ignoring the meeting of a new soul,
That might just make them whole.
Closing themselves off from chance
Cause they fail to see the substance
Of letting themselves be adored again
Trying to avoid another loose end
See the worse that might happen
Is feeling that feeling your already in
Though there is that slight opportunity
Of a new remarkable unity.
They let it slip through their fingers
As the past pain still lingers
Rejecting new...

Obsession
First day of his senior year
Brought more than homework to fear
A new female student from parts unknown
Wont belong before all is shown
He sits and listens to the lesson
As she stares at her new obsession
The class bell rings and he goes to depart
As she hands him a note with a sticker of a heart
He takes it a bit confused
But never gave a sign he refused
Wasn’t till he got home that he the letter was opened
And he read the words so perfectly penned
