I Cry

I stand
as close as possible
to yesterday
knowing
it was then that I felt alive
hoping
it will comfort me now
through the grieving wind's chill

It is my thoughts
that drag me through
the pain
time and again
and yet
it is those very same thoughts
that fill my soul

I wrap
my arms around myself
wanting to believe
that though you're not here
my hands could never be
as empty as time's churning hands

Maybe
this is why I'm foolishly
dreaming
that you never left
yet you did
and I am here
alone
and that is why
I cry

You're very welcome

A Few Clouds

A few clouds
move
about
around and through
the last vestige of sunlight

It's kind of warm
for an autumn evening
especially since the rain has passed
so there are a thousand things to do
in the city
on a Saturday
but here we are
sitting in the easy quiet
of us alone
feeling the breeze from the open window
there are no words
and none are needed

As the first star
awakens
it seems to struggle to find its way
as a few clouds
move
about
around and through
the evening's beginning light
it's night time
on a Saturday
so there are a thousand things to do
yet here were are
waiting
for the last star
to rise
and the candle to flicker out
as we discover
the beauty of a soft kiss
and the rest of the evening's possibilities
that are there for us to enjoy

Yes

Though
you've yet to touch me
I can feel
your hands
slowly
undressing me
teasing me
as the intentions
in your eyes
weakens my resolve

My heart
is sure
you cannot know
what it is
that you are doing to me
how you
dangerously manipulate my desires
making me believe
in you . . . in us

Damn

You see
I've told myself
that life's impossible
is the softer side
of love
the part
that doesn't hurt
the part
that is gentle
the reason why
fools fall

And this is why
my thoughts beg you
without words
to stop
because this cannot be real
I need you
to please stop making this feel
beautiful
because my body
my soul
my heart
is losing control
and I want to say
yes

This is real poetry. Seriously. This is what I strive yet cannot write. This is what drives me to write more and more. I love this one. Seriously.

Nice

When You Laughed

I watched you
walk away
knowing I would
wonder
where you were going
was I
still with you
in your thoughts
your heart
your soul?

I counted
each step you took
foolishly believing that the next
or the one after that
would be where
you turned around
and came back to me

I wanted to beg you
to stop
and think about our love's first day
our laughter
our conversations
your life's story
and mine
we were happy
or so we seemed to be

I watched you
walk away
knowing I would
wonder
if I would be a part of your
future stories
when you laughed
. . . with someone else

One of your best

Thank you so much . . . I'm going to try and start writing again. Hopefully I can continue to get better.

Annierooroo

Wow this made tears fall down my face
Very touching.

That is so deep. I never dreamed I could write something that could affect someone in that way. My ego thanks you . . . seriously thanks you.

I'm actually honored that you would want to keep a copy of this. Yes, please be my guest and put this in your collection. It's an amazing compliment so thank you.

Hidden

I know
your worries
I understand your fears
the hopes of possible tomorrows
and the hurt of yesterday's promises
but now
tonight . . . for this one moment
may I
ask you
to let me discover
what makes you shiver
when you quietly scream
may I
touch
your desires
as if I were an artist
and you
were my instrument
and together
our music
was as sweet as jazz
under the star painted midnight

I won't
whisper
empty words
for there are no lyrics to this song
only
deep breaths
from the gentle strokes
that serve as the reasons for our life forever
so please
exhale
and let go
as I
slowly
erase your doubts
until
your heart feels mine
and our beating rhythm
becomes the improvisation
of two souls
undressing dreams
and finding
treasures
hidden
within inhibitions

That's probably the best compliment I've ever received . . . thank you

Why thank you very much!!

Once again you've created a work of art. Nice one.

I Was Here

There
before the sun
I stand
silhouetted
against the ocean's shore
as if my journey was imprinted
in the sand
by the creator of life
and my prints
are there for the world
to know
I was here

You Close My Eyes

You touch me
slowly
as if you are on a journey
to discover my soul
and I
close my eyes
and await

Shivering
as the gentle easiness of your fingertips
recite each wish
of each star
that interrupts the fading sun's light
and I feel
each star's reflection
within you

I want to dream
I live this moment
tonight
tomorrow
and forever
so that when you close my eyes
and take my breath away
my heart will forever beat to your love's rhythm

Each Step You Take


Thoughts running
in and out of my soul
as I watch you
walk away

"��Don't go"
stand at the edge of my throat
but never fall from my lips
and I am
alone again

I can feel
each step you take
it's as if
you'��re walking through me
running
to escape
to leave

My knees
grow weaker
my body cold
as I watch love hurt
as I watch life abandon me
I am
alone again

Help

I can feel time's grasp
growing
weaker and weaker
as if its hands cannot hold my journey
another moment

I rush through memories
trying to find the one I want to take with me
but there are so many

Desperately
I reach out
and try to grab a hold of the time
yet there is nothing to hold onto
my efforts are as futile as anyone
who feels they have the power
to own
that which is not theirs to claim

I inhale deeply
as if this monumental breath
would stave off the inevitable
whispering
a prayer
begging
and pleading for help
wanting
needing
the strength
to hold on
to make this moment last longer
but the hands of time are weary
and they
eventually let go of me . . . and I
exhale

Words and Music

I don't want to feel
the rain
the wind
or cold
because I already feel
your words

And the blues are playing
as I
try
hope
and wish
that your words
and the music
were not one and the same

The Beautiful Interruption

Sitting
just at the water's edge
watching
time slowly undress the night
revealing morning’s light

It seems to rise
from earth's soul
stretching as far as forever
as its warmth
slowly interrupts the chill that lingered from last night

I look over to you
and you had that smile
the one
that takes my breath away
every morning
afternoon
and evening

Not sure
what our plans are
as the day is just beginning
but
well the night really doesn't have to end

Ahhh it fees good to finally have time to write again. How is everyone doing?
