with you

I want to see your face
I want to kiss your lips
I want to
I want to
just let me
have my way

with you

I want to hear your voice
Would you call my name
I want you
I want you
just let me in
and have your way

with me

I want to kiss your lips
I want to hold you tight
I want to touch your face
and love you into the night
I want to kiss your hips
I want to hold you tight
I want to see into your eyes
deep into the night

I want to kiss your lips


You have the most beautiful face
you have your own style and a grace
you really turn me on
you really turn me around


I want to kiss your lips
I want to hold you tight
I want to touch your face
and love you into the night
I want to touch your hips
I want to hold you tight
I want to see into your eyes
deep into the night

just let me kiss you
this one time
and see
where it goes
from
there

isn't it only fair?
after all that I've been through

just give me a chance
with you

tonight

I don't believe I'm wrong

I know that it's not right

but I feel something strong

and I'll test that theory tonight



subtle signals
being sent from both sides
nothing is for certain
but tonight I have to try

to make this right
if only for tonight

Forget me nots

She asked me to send her
some forget me nots
but I couldn't

remember

her

name

Falling away

the entire universe
contained in a single tear
all our hopes and dreams
everything we hold dear

the entire relationship
summed up in a single tear
dying hopes and dreams
nothing left for me here

it's all falling
falling away

can't catch myself
I'm falling again
can't get a grip
I'm falling again

falling away
falling away

The precious heart will beat
to the drummer deep within
the soul gets pulled away
from forces deep below the skin

The precious heart will break
the drum head is wearing thin
the soul dies another day
as the will seeks comfort in sin

it's all falling
falling away

can't catch myself
I'm falling again
can't get a grip
I'm falling again

falling away
falling away

when will I be safely tied to this reality?

away from this age of endless misery?

I'm falling away

falling away

I'm falling away

from you

falling away from me

falling away

falling away

I am, part V: unheard

The thing about poetry is
that someone
who must be "someone"
has to take notice
and tell the world
that a poem is great
this someone is a mouthpiece
for the written word
without this someone
there is only a poem

unread
unknown
like a scream in the woods
unheard

The thing about attraction is
that someone
who must be someone
has to take notice
and feel the power
give in to the pull
believe the desire is worthy
that the affection is mutual
the feeling is real
otherwise the attraction is missed

unseen
unknown
like a scream in the woods
unheard

The thing about life is
that someone
could be anyone
has to take notice
and say hello
nod their head, smile
make their presence known
and acknowledge me
show that I exist
and I'm not insignificant

unknown
unseen
and like my screams in the dark

unheard

what am I worth?

I'm not a banker
or president of the world
I don't sell candy
or flags unfurled
I'm not a doctor
nor do I play one on TV
I'm just a regular joe
I'm just me

so when you look at the figures
and the truth be told
can you tell me exactly
at what price would I be sold?

what am I worth,


to




you?

like

what's stopping you
from taking that step
if you feel the way you do
what holds you back?

what is keeping you
from seeing the truth
the reality
the yearning?

maybe I'm disillusioned
a simpleton in a complex world
or maybe I'm too complex
for the simple world

witness the beginning
of the end
the ending
of the beginning

and everything in between

it's all been seen
and heard before
but you have the floor
so speak
or dance
show me what you've got
I haven't the time to play around
I want to hear your voice
the sound

of reason
or unreasonable
telling me
yes
or no

just talk to me
make me see
if this is what it needs to be

or if it is just fantasy

like so much

in this life

Show me

I don't believe in angels
I don't believe in devils
I don't believe
I don't believe

I want to see the angels
with the halos of gold
I want to see the devils
with stares so cold

Otherwise
I don't believe

There is no heaven
There is no hell

There is only life
Too short and too mean
There is only life
Quickly passed, a dream

I don't believe

There is no salvation
There is no redemption
There is only here and now
There is only temptation


What do I need to see?
What do I need to hear?
when will I feel the power?
Is that day near?

I believe
I believe in you
do you
believe
believe in me?

What do you see?
What do you need?
What does a fool believe?
Just ask me...

I feel the distance between you and me
Getting shorter
Maybe it's my perception
Hope is a tall order

After all
what should I believe in
show me the way

Blur: Another post I never wanted to write

For Ski, who left this messed up world too soon. We were with you, brother, and we're still here.

Blur

Spinning out of control
the world
the confusion
regret
apprehension
pain
the unknown
it all weighs so heavily
it's so heavy
Gets hard to breathe
Gasping
Buckling
Breaking
down
little by little
So heavy
this weight
on your shoulders
Dreams shatter
Relations sour
because of bad decisions
Need a moment
a second to
relax
to
breathe
Your machine takes you
down the final path
The wind in your face
cool, crisp
The roar of the motor
sings a melody
the rumble
comforting
soothing
fleeting
the machine
the man
man-machine
strong
no judgements
no pitiful glances
no lies

Just the truth
and freedom

and wind
and speed
man
machine
Man-machine
a release
a surrender
man-machine-wall
release
from the
pain

.....

those that remain
we're confused
pained
in the grasp of sorrow
agony, the toll of grief
you touched so many
you never really knew
you
never
really know

and you never will

it weighs heavy on us
so heavy

dizzying

like the world
is spinning out of control

like a blur

Dilemma

I wasn't sure what you meant
and you left so quickly
I had no idea what to do next

the options were many
and if I heard you correctly
you only wanted one

but which one?
what did I miss?
