Time breaks a waiting heart…
And I’m so sick of waiting…
It hurts…
I’m sick of crying
I’m sick of making excuses
I’m sick of pretending
Pretending I’m okay
Pretending I’m happy
Pretending I’m this heartless bastard
Pretending I don’t love anyone
I hate that I can’t have what I want
I hate that I can’t talk to who I want
I hate that people tell me “give it time.”
I hate hearing “what’s meant to be will be”
I hate it all…
I want to cuddle close to her
I want to kiss her over and over
I want to hold her hand ...
And I’m so sick of waiting…
It hurts…
I’m sick of crying
I’m sick of making excuses
I’m sick of pretending
Pretending I’m okay
Pretending I’m happy
Pretending I’m this heartless bastard
Pretending I don’t love anyone
I hate that I can’t have what I want
I hate that I can’t talk to who I want
I hate that people tell me “give it time.”
I hate hearing “what’s meant to be will be”
I hate it all…
I want to cuddle close to her
I want to kiss her over and over
I want to hold her hand ...

HEAR ME WHEN
Come and get me
I want her to say
But then I would be
The rescuer
And we have agreed
She doesn’t need rescuing
(Granted
That was before she was drowning)
I want her to say
But then I would be
The rescuer
And we have agreed
She doesn’t need rescuing

Recitation
Footnote at the top.
The two lines of the poem quoted in this piece, are from the poem "The Deadly Solitude Of Alexis Aslanis" by Greek poet Dionysis Savvopoulos. (English rendering, mine)
Started his recitation confidently.
He knew the poem well
knew it by heart...
A blend of the political and the personal
- collective defeat
individual search for meaning
and a touching appeal to love's redemptive potential -
One of his favorites
never performed before
at the political memorials he frequented. ...

Talk about love
How do you know you love her?
Because all I can think about is spending time with her
Okay, and?
I want to see her smile
Anything else?
Let me take over for a while
Alright then
Thanks
For once when I think of dating someone
I think about holding her in my arms laughing and smiling
Going to amusement parks
Going to the zoo
Going to an aquarium
Going to the park
Walking around just enjoying each other’s company
Watching movies
Knowing that if I wanted to bring her to my house
She’d get along with...

classic tears of a clown: Misery loves company
I'd sit and ponder
Knock on every door of my head
Until my thoughts are empty and hollow
I would wonder if I ever cross your mind
When you are all up in mine
Sometimes I just want to die
But thoughts of you wouldn't let me go
We Made up, broke up the next day and got together again
Went through all of that just to do it again
I'd say I'm leaving
Pack up my things and go
but you wouldn't follow
The ocean in your eyes always brought me back to your shore
What is love without some misery?
What is misery...
Knock on every door of my head
Until my thoughts are empty and hollow
I would wonder if I ever cross your mind
When you are all up in mine
Sometimes I just want to die
But thoughts of you wouldn't let me go
We Made up, broke up the next day and got together again
Went through all of that just to do it again
I'd say I'm leaving
Pack up my things and go
but you wouldn't follow
The ocean in your eyes always brought me back to your shore
What is love without some misery?
What is misery...

It Was Black & White
It was black & white
In the smoke & shadow
For old romantic drinkers
As they lay on their couches
Thinking of yesterday
Hoping they’d done better
And the fading light
Of night & day
Knew very little of it
Except when once she danced
And we crowded round to see
Violins in the background –
I believe they were gypsy
In the smoke & shadow
For old romantic drinkers
As they lay on their couches
Thinking of yesterday
Hoping they’d done better
And the fading light
Of night & day
Knew very little of it
Except when once she danced
And we crowded round to see
Violins in the background –
I believe they were gypsy

Love
Love…
It’s not a feeling
Not something you can teach
Or what I made it out to be…
Love…
It’s a bond
Something that we are taught
Not by someone else but by ourselves
Idolized
I thought I loved them
I put them on a pedestal
Praised them thinking it was love
Idolized
I acted out of lust
Love was just something I called it
There is one person that I can honestly say I actually love….
It’s not a feeling
Not something you can teach
Or what I made it out to be…
Love…
It’s a bond
Something that we are taught
Not by someone else but by ourselves
Idolized
I thought I loved them
I put them on a pedestal
Praised them thinking it was love
Idolized
I acted out of lust
Love was just something I called it
There is one person that I can honestly say I actually love….

Rainbow Love
Rainbow love
A striking banner above
How I chase him fast
Outrunning weather forecast
To catch a ray of
His rainbow love
A distant illusion
I know won’t last
I ask “why bother?”
As I look for another
Rainbow love
Waiting to shove
The storm in my eyes
A striking banner above
How I chase him fast
Outrunning weather forecast
To catch a ray of
His rainbow love
A distant illusion
I know won’t last
I ask “why bother?”
As I look for another
Rainbow love
Waiting to shove
The storm in my eyes

Unrequited
Surging forward.
Wayward.
Out of sync.
Spoiling, ready for the fall.
Into your realms.
To kiss and tell all.
Just another fool.
Hung up on the folly of love.
What a fucking carry on!
Its never enough.
Bursting with energy.
Tripping like fever pitch.
Eyes wide as wide can be.
Waiting for the drop.
As if this might actually stop.
Nonsense im sure.
Its like that at the top.
Shoot me down ....please!
Touching down softly.
Upon the smoothest of skin.
Rolling further.
Opening...

I Saw Her Dance Once
She was a fox
Cutest fox I’ve ever known
Never as well as I wanted
Thank fuck for that I think
She could have destroyed me
And what a lovely way to go
Kylie Wiley
Perfect in my mind
Others differed
I wasn’t having a bar of it
Except her wet sheets
As she had mentioned
Except her man in a boat
As she had mentioned
The hottest flirt ever
Despite my blonde angel comparisons
To her dark on dark
And my fraidy-cat ways
She more than caught my attention
I’d travel eons...
Cutest fox I’ve ever known

Forbidden Muse
Sweet and forbidden admiration
Flirting on the fringes of going too far
Nameless beauty evermore you are
A fortified wall and things better left unsaid
I read you still as I follow your thread
You still bleed down the walls on occasion
Something to marvel upon display
Brief with depths undisclosed in everything you say
Open and abstract yet concise
The insights of your relative slice of paradise
Every pearl, a pebble and a ripple
Picking up on the undertones of such vibrations
As I hear exactly what I want to see ...
Flirting on the fringes of going too far
Nameless beauty evermore you are
A fortified wall and things better left unsaid
I read you still as I follow your thread
You still bleed down the walls on occasion
Something to marvel upon display
Brief with depths undisclosed in everything you say
Open and abstract yet concise
The insights of your relative slice of paradise
Every pearl, a pebble and a ripple
Picking up on the undertones of such vibrations
As I hear exactly what I want to see ...

she keeps it all soaked up
she is one of a kind
so she thought
a ten in any formula
equaling of perfection
men took a double take
as quickly men said so long
after a dozen or so
wonder what was wrong
beauty is skin deep
ugly is clear to the bone
she was in love with herself
only room for her and no one else
see she's fare from perfect
there's no room for love
she keeps it all soaked up
so she thought
a ten in any formula
equaling of perfection
men took a double take
as quickly men said so long
after a dozen or so
wonder what was wrong
beauty is skin deep
ugly is clear to the bone
she was in love with herself
only room for her and no one else
see she's fare from perfect
there's no room for love
she keeps it all soaked up
