Thoughts On a Dark Day

The sky is blue but dark clouds lurk underneath,
The harvest is done but the soil is still fertile beneath,
Darkness falls but it'll soon be day,
Monday is here but the week has six more days,
Taxi,bus,ship or train the destination is the same,
Boxers throw punches but it's still considered a game,
Music is noise but it appeases the heart,
Nakedness is seen as a taboo but appreciated as art,
Black, White,Asian or Indian we all have one life,
We are young now but we'll grow old and that's life,
The journey is long but be thankful there's a way,
I know you'll smile someday even though its not today.

Her

Cute smile, lazy talk, sparkle in her eye, beauty galore  
Falling, falling….don’t tell me its u I adore
Love??? No I have no definition 
What the hell I’ll risk it, start the ignition
The darkness and mystery have me urging to explore
The hunger…I have to feed it more and more
But hold on…  
I could say I love her but am not sure I do 
We could be friends but I’d still be lacking 
Or keep quiet and let it kill me inside
Let her know and get crushed with rejection 
But…
Perfection is far from any mortal,
Correction betters any options for the next move,
I just have to prove my affection for her,
Let her feel and live in the connection that’s me and her,
That my arms are equal to fine,
That no line is drawn between us, 
And even if any it’s me protecting what is mine,
And that HER…is what I want, to change to forever MINE

Beauty

Life is beautiful,
Tell me what beauty is?
Her sultry eyes on me and I dream
Hands…her hands…
Just a touch not much
Warmth….did she smile again?
I joked, she laughed 
“I’ll see you around”
This void…I can’t avoid
Replacing all the days with her name,
Nothing better I can think of,
Till I see that face again

Agony, Pain, Anguish

agony,pain,anguish
heart is heavy, 
breathing won't save me this time,
the pain numbs, 
I'm lifeless, 
watching the darkness,
waiting for the pain to ease away,
need a remedy and I need it right away,
tranquility,calm,silence 
a treasure hunt with no map
music with no sound,
the body without a soul,
(sigh) somebody....
please make the joker smile

In Love

If I haven't called by Friday I still haven't fixed my lines,
I want to make sure you get the credit you deserve,
I want it to be perfect so pardon me for the nerves,

I want to watch the sun set beyond the seas, 
Then turn to watch your hair blow across your face as it breezes,
You brush it off with a finger behind your ear and smile,
Wink at me and have me day dreaming about those lips,
I lean in and slightly brush your lips,
You smile again,
And weaken my knees,
you know what my weakness is,
Could I have this kiss please?
 
Can I play with your hair until you sleep?
how I love how your head on my chest feels,
As you clutch on me so hard I can barely breathe, 
While I stroke you from your hair down to your hips,
It's not how you stole my heart, it's how you turn my pain and agony into peace.

He asked for your number and I overheard you say I am His,
Believe it when I say loyalty to you is my new disease,  There's something I want you to see,
locked in my heart for safe keep
You and I is the only picture hanging in this gallery.

Feelings

I want to forget you,
shut you out and wave goodbye 
 but......
I knew...I always knew, 
I'd lost this battle when you smiled,
  "don't fall for her...listen to me,
    do you even know what you feel?"
My comfort for her heart, thats a good deal?
   "No be basic not optimistic."
You succeeded,
My mind and heart no longer live in harmony,
I even got lost writing this...oh how I hate this,
I hope you're worth it,
I know my soul is watching, maybe searching,
When he speaks, just hope he chooses you.
