Jealousy

Oh Baby, my eyes search you out
for you are my sunset
Yet I do not want the sun to see
your beauty for it is mine

My arms reach for you only
to hold against me
Yet my hands are jealous
for your touch

I yearn for your lips on mine
Yet I do not want a glass to
feel them sip its wine
This insatiable lingering love
I want only to touch

Not the wind nor the light
can I let have you
This jealousy I fight
Yet, The jealousy I understand,
you are my Man...

Who's There

Who is knocking at my door?

I said you just Knock ~ N ~ Knock
Pat says "Whos There?"
All I could do was stand and stare...

The Mask

Who is this person 
Behind the Mask
Hidden
Hidden From others
Putting on a Happy Face
For all to see
Laughter ringing out
Hollow
No one feel's it
No one see's
BUT ME

Hypocritical Hypocrite?
Maybe..
Is this truly 
What others see
How can it be
Trying so hard
Who is this person
When did it start
Hiding behind the Mask?

What is behind the
Mask
Longing, Lonely, Dispare
Pain, Hurting Heart
Tears, Falling Apart
Can not catch my breath
Scared to death
Who is this person 
Behind the Mask?

OH GOD I ASK
WHO???

Oh Death

Oh Death
                                              My heart is breaking 
                                            I can't stand this aching
                                           My heart drips with tears
                                         Tears that will flow for years
                                       Emptiness replaces the solidness
                                      Solidness that was love in my mist
                                     The mist that still lingers like a kiss
                                   A kiss that lingers in my mind and soul
                                           The Soul that now knows
                                        Can only hold you like a rose..

Walk Away

How many times 
can I say
I love you
In what way 
can I make 
you understand
I love you
What is it you 
want from me 
what should I do?

There is such a lack 
of this and that
How many times can 
I go back
How many!! 
My mind screams stop
but my heart says Go
I feel like a wave tossed 
to and fro..

What is there left of us
a piece here a piece there
Sometimes I don't
even care
Who is going to pick up
these pieces anyway?
Not you I see 
as your walking away...
