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
