Coexist

It's not him that I cannot find
It's the me that I'd like to present
Feel to unprepared to fall and give myself
Not knowing if he shall fall too
All this analysis is paralyzing me
But as I am so shall I think
I don't want to find an antidote to this
Just need to find a way to coexist

Your scent has become a part of me

Our eyes connect across these spaces
You take my hand in yours,
We've shared what makes us who we are

Your thoughts merge with mine,
I complete your lines with my words,
Where do you begin, where do I end?

Your scent has become a part of me

Bad Penny

And I'm tired of holding this in my heart
I've tried to rationalize it away again
But then when my guard is down
Like a bad penny, it comes back again

Back In Love With Me

Every once in a while I lose myself
I look back
And don't know where I began
I get caught up in others Vs me
When I'm my own person
I know
I hope I am
It's like I fall out of
And back in love
With me

Lies

I’m gonna lie to myself
When I say I don’t still love you
Cry inside myself
And try my best to forgive you
Feel the void where you used to be
And just keep thinking of you
Then realize it’s all fictional
And the entire poem is a lie
Yeah I’ve been known to be confusing

Light

Shining light by my side
Letting your faith grow
Like a lamp of friendship
Am I to fall captive to its spell?
And in doing so
Finally allow myself
To need someone

Thunder

Just like the first echoes of thunder
Signal the showers of rain
So your yells and howls and screams
Beckon to your inner pain
On and on you rant
Trying to let it all out
Wishing somehow
You won’t have to cry
To finally ease it down
How loud can your voice become
Not too loud for me
Rather the thunder, than the rain…

Restless

This poet’s at a loss for words
How can she describe
The bittersweet agony
The turmoil inside
I’ll look for you
And want for you
My need for you shall grow
I’ll beg for you
I’ll bleed for you
Give till there is no more
And still it shall not happen
Whim to fates and time
Still I shall not know
Of the true love meant to be mine

End of the World

The world could end
I wouldn’t care
The sky could fall around us
I wouldn’t notice
The ground could quake beneath
I wouldn’t feel the ripple
With you here
Love is so simple
Life is you
What am I to fear?
With your arms around me

Caress

Smooth friction merges cheek against cheek
As in a brief moment of tenderness
Speck on a landscape of regret
My heart chooses to give
Knowing it could never get

Elusive freedom is in a kiss
As I transfer my soul to you
I want nothing
You’ll give nothing
Save break my heart in two

See this lonesome tear
Where it’s fallen by your lip
Oh! But if I were that tear
I would be lonesome no more
Why can’t I be that tear?

Sparks fly from your flesh to mine
You smile, I’ll be crying
Be blissful knowing I love you
Though that love was never mine to give

For sheltered in your arms
Warmed by the sunlight of your joy
Is my darling
The only time I’ve ever lived

Transcend

There are some moments
Which transcend words
Which even a poet can’t express
With all the languages of the world
What do you mean to me?
What do I see when you smile
What do I feel when you laugh
The world would dim in comparison
And every creative thought
Be rendered a cliché
Truly you leave me speechless
Powerless to the drag
As you sink into me
Slow, inescapable
Finally there
Not home
Not heaven
Just you

The Lioness

Chasing butterflies in the wind
I call to you
As we play around in green
I reach out to you
Something magical in the sky
And I’ve found it in your heart
Motion in art in motion
The circle evolves to include us
As you throw your head back
And dissolve in the moment
Catch me if you can
But know I’m all yours
Feel my heart beating
As I run out of breath
Nothing too much, too bad
As long as I’m with you

A Walk to Remember

A single pearl walked down the aisle
Tears of laughter in her smile
Today would be her day forever more
The bird had flown and continued to soar

The blossomed rose that touched the skies
The little robin had found its nest
The Prince Charming for whom she’d been waiting
Was finally hers to caress

It seemed she had known him forever
Yet never known until he had shown
The best friend she loved like no other
Was ready to become much more

Always there when she needed someone
He knew her heart and soul
A celebration of love she held so dear
He was to become her home

Music played like silver on air
Her dad held her hand so tight
And whispered in pride and pleasure
‘My daughter’s the loveliest bride’

Family and friends smiled
As she walked to where he stood
The priest started the rites
The feeling intensified into an ‘I do’

She had walked single
Now her name her life was changed
And as she looked up at him she knew
She wouldn’t have had it another way

As she kissed the boy she’d known
Husband she smiled at the sound
She glorified in her ‘walk to remember’
With the companion she’d love always
Till they were no longer around

All That Matters

I know not if you are the one
I can fool myself a thousand times
Right now I long for your kiss
Your connection
All that matters
In this fast escaping time sea
The moment & you are
All that matters
Even if we part
Fall in love again, anew
What we share is special
All that matters
You’re my friend
And you’ll still be there
When I need your help
All that matters

Touched

You’ve touched me
Through no fault of your own
Fate coincidence
A slight brush of two destinies
But you’ve stayed with me

You’ve touched me
I don’t need you to understand
To feel the same
To know the profound change
Your touch caused in me

You’ve touched me
Beautiful stranger
I know not if you’ll touch me again
The world is small
Life is long
We may just bump into each other

Hold Me

Hold me close throughout the night
Cuddle me hug me real tight
And whisper softly in my ear
I love you
Through all the ages
All our lives and more
Keep on repeating it
Till we are no more
Me and you, you in me
So we’ll love as we’ll lie
The world can’t handle
What it can’t save

Insensitivity

Sweet thing that you are
Make it impossible
To cross the bridge
Between love and affection
Addiction that has no therapy
When I hear your voice
Damn you
You insensitive pig
For leaving me with no choice
But to fall and not rising
Understand
The power of love
Through your eyes
g that you are
Make it impossible
To cross the bridge
Between love and affection
Addiction that has no therapy
When I hear your voice
Damn you
You insensitive pig
For leaving me with no choice
But to fall and not rising
Understand
The power of love
Through your eyes

Tempest

Be the mast to my sail
As I travel on raging sea
Were you to be the tempest?
Where then would my home be?

As I clutch to the rail of hope
Would the rope of friendship
Be enough to keep me from
Drowning in the forces that be?

Friend

Leave your imprint on my mind
Leave your light in my heart
I love you friend, however you are
May we meet for a moment
Be together for eternity
Or condemned to stay far apart

Your Voice

The clammy cold hands of night
Descend around my hopes
That your sweet sunshine voice
Shall brighten up the day’s gloominess

What strength must a heart possess?
To understand the unsaid
As faith remains but a dangling thread
Would a friend always understand?
