I Am

Shes everywhere
When I arise, shes watching my every move
There is no hiding place from her eagle eyes
My mysteries are torn asunder, then laid at her feet
Leaving me naked and trembling beneath her ravenous gaze
I am the fatted calf for her voracious appetite
I am excited
My thoughts I possess but do not own
She comes as a thief in the nite
Penetrating my subconscious
Verses roll off my tongue, into her heart
I savor the sweet remains for posterity
I am spellbound
I whisper her name
The winds carry it to places unspoken
In the dead of nite I feel her presence
She invades my dreams, taking me by storm
I am ravished, consumed by the furnace of our desires
I am breathless
I am exhausted
I am enchanted
I am helpless
I am hers
I am....in love
I Am
You Said

You Said
You wanted to take my pain away
But, it wasnt yours to take
Nor was it mine to give
Even if it was
Because I care...
I wouldnt inflict it on another soul
But you couldnt see that
You Said
You wanted to kiss my tears away
To make me forget the hurt from the past
But you cant, only one can
He chooses to let it remain
For his own reasons
But you couldnt understand that
You Said
You wanted to do many things
But, you couldnt
Neither could you see that all this
Is the nature of my beast
Neither could you see
That to take all of this away
Would be to take away....me, and
When I tried to make you understand,
Nothing, was all You Said

This page I hold that sets me free
Ordains me to captivity
Take a knife to slice my vein
You'll see the color of my pain
A longing stare across the room
To hear the music of my gloom
The blacks and blues of melody
Burn holes in my humanity
Your eyes they seek to question why
A thousand deaths are my reply
You'll never touch my heart on sleeve
Cos prison just won't set me free

Misfits

Oh, heart of mine
Why must you cry
So often and so freely ?
I know you're in pain, so am I
But this appetite is taking its toll
This desert finds us parched
We thirst,and yearn to drink
From loves sweetened waters
But our portion is a pungent stream
Our hunger is ravenous
As we sit at the feasting table salivating
Over the forbidden fruits and tasty morsels
While the servants bring forth fodder
Then cast their pearls before us
We do not belong here
We are pilgrims, passing through a country
That neither wants us, nor abides us
We are traveling to our land of promise,
Our land of dreams
We are Misfits

Lady Love......
Burning the midnite oil, with bated breath
I've pursued my absent portion
With dogged determination, for longer than necessary
So many sleepless nights, I'd lie awake and wonder
How long this melancholia could prevail
Today I withdrew my heart,
The lonesome, grieving part
Together with sentiments and verses
Clothed in velvet refuge
Gently placing them inside my chest of drawers
Between the shattered dreams, and my blind faith
In sackcloth and ashes I'd tarried
Overlooking the memories of our many lovely days
Such a fool am I at times
Sweet lady love, how could I ever doubt ??
Ohhh..the nights I held you close as we danced
When mornings light found us in lovers embrace
Life I put upon a shelf
Anticipating your return, but no longer
I'm neither bitter, nor sad, only practical
I believe in you
And in the angel you have reserved for me
For whatever reason....
You choose to prolong the days
And that's alright
Cos I know, when she's revealed
She'll be worth the wait
Laying my pains to rest
I know she'll be all of that, and more
Likewise, will I complete her
We will rejoice, and celebrate each other
Together, we'll open that chest of drawers
Starting life anew
But, until then I'll go on living
Biding my time, with a smile and open eyes
Knowing that when I least expect it
She'll appear
