Feelings of Faith & Despair

I cried for the moment to endTo come back againTo stay frozen forever.Anxiety?Maybe. Anticipation? Trepidation?Excitement? Desire? Fear?Why name an emotion?Instead just feel.It sits there in my gut,Waiting to erupt.Longing for you.No, waiting for you,Like a monk.My body it’s monastery.It has a faith I lack.Never looking forward or back.It knows you’ll come along,To me, for me.Continue reading “Feelings of Faith & Despair”

Boxed Out

LimitedHandcuffed to a limit I never agreed withNarrow viewOf a specific group I don’t knowBoughtAnd sold to a man with no soulI can’t standNor can I sit by, Running to a crowded exitAll your X’sand O’s mean nothingNow that you’ve boxed me in. Just One Kiss She was at a bar alone. Guy approaches andContinue reading “Boxed Out”

A Random Kind of Love

I spoke to you with words unspoken.You replied in tears, wet and full of meaning.I pulled you into my arms to hold your face to my chest.You screamed and melted into my embrace.Our arms around each other, heartbeats separated by time & space.I looked into your eyes and lost myself.You looked into my heart andContinue reading “A Random Kind of Love”

Silent Love Song

Sweet words of flatteryTruth wrapped in soliloquyThe moment your heart stole mineI want you as my valentineMy love song to youSimple words and melodyI can’t sing to you Lullabies of a sweet good nightIf you were in my arms it would be alrightWhen I hear your moansI forget everything that I’ve knownMy love song toContinue reading “Silent Love Song”

Was It Worth It?

Was it worth it? The chance I tookSeeing you in a crowded room, back to me When you turned around and the earth shookI knew I had to catch your eyeI travelled through the drunken mass People crowded the roomTalking, laughing, drinking Holding me back as though a tombI had to break free to getContinue reading “Was It Worth It?”

Cupid’s Discarded Bow

Too torn down to look up Looking into the sunBlinded by a love who kept you in the shadowDon’t look for salvation at the end of an arrowShot from cupid’s discarded bowYour heart breaks anew every morningWaking in sheets stained with neglectA dry spot in a loveless desert How you wish for the rain toContinue reading “Cupid’s Discarded Bow”

In Need of Kisses

The night needs kissesAs night’s often doMy lips pressed against yours, me holding youThe darkness hides much, the desire that this isThe sky is black yet the stars are wishesMy heart is full of desire yearning for a love trueOur lips feed the night, as the morning brings the dewFor I am hers, and sheContinue reading “In Need of Kisses”
