Crush Chronicles I
I met her in high school
At first she was known
For being the younger sister
Of this very popular guy
And she somewhat seemed
The opposite of him
And to be honest
I don't even remember how
I officially met her and started
Talking to her but at some point
We had become familiar
She always had the neatest look
Glasses with her hair tied up
Her school uniform was always
Very modest looking
(never breaking school regulations)
One would assume that this was
The girliest girl out there
But...

The Dance
It was not you
Love
But I who was lost
*
What is the name of the park where you walked
That had the trees and peacocks,
And the raven that followed you?
Was it silly of me not to be able to live without trees?
I was never one for desert places
So far from the hills and the.mountains I know
But it's in my heart to go there one day
And though you'll not be there
Your presence shall arise
From the place you made in my heart
And I'll speak to the winds my name,
My secrets
And my life
And if the...

That’s alright chocolate eyes
You called me intoxicated
“Look, I like you”
That’s what you said
You don’t do this (you said)
As you crawled into my bed
And seeped into my head
You called me sweetheart
Words so soft like petals
Sweet nothings
You we’re with her
But you said
“I want to date you”
I told you I fear abandonment
“I’m not going anywhere”
You said
I know I’m too needy
But “it’s fine”
You said
Her
“She’s so beautiful”
You said ...
“Look, I like you”
That’s what you said
You don’t do this (you said)

You called me sweetheart
Words so soft like petals
Sweet nothings
You we’re with her
But you said
“I want to date you”
I told you I fear abandonment
“I’m not going anywhere”
You said
I know I’m too needy
But “it’s fine”
You said

“She’s so beautiful”

My Cabin In The Woods
Fast asleep in the back of my van
I played with you just because I can
I undressed you as you were sleeping
I stared at the trophies I might be keeping
In this small log cabin in the wood
I have 6 attractive ladies in the nude
Five are dead there's one still alive
Not really sure if she will survive
It's all about them, they make their choices
I totally rely on my inner head voices
I drugged you just for fun
Don't make me use this gun

I Truly Wish
Unspoken desires
That struggle to die
This secret
Growing in my heart
A savagely seductive beauty
With sultry eyes
I would surrender too
If she ever looked my way
Wild dreams
Blaze in my mind
Fate refuses
Free me from her
So here I am
Coveting a jewel
I truly wish
Would sparkle for me
That struggle to die
This secret
Growing in my heart
A savagely seductive beauty
With sultry eyes
I would surrender too
If she ever looked my way
Wild dreams
Blaze in my mind
Fate refuses
Free me from her
So here I am
Coveting a jewel
I truly wish
Would sparkle for me

Her Ripples
No denying
These whispering thoughts
Like a fever
Spreading
A special vibration
From a divine soul
Her ripples
Touching me
Her beauty ageless
Infinity captured in a look
This cosmic attraction
Unbreakable
No calm
Within the motion
Of my heart
Beating out unconditional love
The fleeting
Coherent silence
Gives me a breath
From this madness felt
These whispering thoughts
Like a fever
Spreading
A special vibration
From a divine soul
Her ripples
Touching me
Her beauty ageless
Infinity captured in a look
This cosmic attraction
Unbreakable
No calm
Within the motion
Of my heart
Beating out unconditional love
The fleeting
Coherent silence
Gives me a breath
From this madness felt

Boo! Motherf**ker!
One sided love
is a death
I wouldn't wish
on anyone.
You're only a specter,
haunting someone
who doesn't even
know you're there,
hell even if they
knew, they wouldn't
care.

Breathe With Her
I keep
Breathing for her
A fraction of the breaths
I wish to breathe with her
Drawn by the myth
The mystery of her
Intrigues
So entices me
My hard exterior
Belies the tenderness inside
The emotional lover I wish to be
That surrounds her
I could drink her
But sips would never be enough
And yet gulping
Can’t give the true taste of her
Rather I just breathe her
Have that aroma
Waft in my senses
For all time
The scent of a lover
That never...

Shadow
There’s no way
your getting over
You don't think right
Not your fault
he’s blinding light
Only allowed to see
His side distorted sight
Bending the truth
before another fight
when your thinking right
Told Move all emotion
there's no room in bed tonight
should've known better
Tells herself but that's alright
I’ll find strength to leave him
Get away another time
Hiding in his shadow
starting to fade
No good memories,
forget them they'll erase
Sooner than later ...

You Call Me
With the flourishing sparks
That dwell in your eyes
You move me
To such delightful feelings
This magical concept
Has happened even without touch
In a state.of upheaval
As your beauty calls me
Want to learn to smile
Learn to hug
Know the tears
All the laughter with you
To see those colours
The breath of our breathing
The faster beat of hearts
Reshaping the world between us
That dwell in your eyes
You move me
To such delightful feelings
This magical concept
Has happened even without touch
In a state.of upheaval
As your beauty calls me
Want to learn to smile
Learn to hug
Know the tears
All the laughter with you
To see those colours
The breath of our breathing
The faster beat of hearts
Reshaping the world between us

Suddenly
No early warning
Danger sign
To what was coming
It just hit like a runaway train
Flew under the radar
On a head on Collision
Like a comet hitting the surface
Gouging a crater in my heart
Suddenly her mark was upon me
No defence
Heard the echoes
Of a heartbeat coming back
I now remember
Nothing before this
Like life never happened
Until she touched my soul
Like a dying flower
She has become the soil
The falling rain
To bring me to life
She is the...

The Feeling
I realise
There never was a choice
This heart took control
Over riding reason
A moment of clarity
Amongst the cloud of doubt
Surrendering was enviable
Pupils enlarged
Heart racing
Mouth parched
Quivering mess around her
If there was a cure
I don’t want it
The feeling
Is worth the agony
The torment
Of my silent love
Would shout it
Scream it to the world
If it would make the difference
It’s scary to think
I could lose this ...
