Stevie To John

Dreams may be filled
with depictions far from reality
which isn't necessarily bad
for sometimes one's needs
a spark of imagination
to make it through tough times

For in my head i dreamt
of so many things we do
the sweetness of our bodies entwined
burning desire resistant to all else
making the beach and sea our personal playground
blades of grass anchoring our exchange

Back to reality where my regard is one sided
misread time spent just as friends
a Valentine's Day filled with your smile
dinner out looking into you eyes
once tried to kiss a was soundly rejected
makes me wonder how stupid I must be

Composing weak attempts at poems
hoping you might be persuaded to see
that my interest isn't a threat
the exposure doesn't imply
not harm to you do I seek
love you down and up and all around

Take your hand in trouble times
be a shoulder to cry on
send you flowers just because
easing to brow with a guitar serenade
perhaps there is another element afoot
maybe I am just not your type

Or another thing I have no control
prior history has nothing to do with me
I may share their gender
but not the mentality
can time erase negative remnants
buddy John hit it right on the nose;

"I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But, she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe It's got nothing to do with me"
