besides your voice
besides your voice,
your face, your warm
palms, your heart
trembling when
whispers caress
my ear, flooding my
blood like a skilled
sculptor ready to
break the marble,
so that angels can
come out to take
my hand: - let’s go
my child, come,
let's fly to the
nest of stars,
in the air, crushing
your chest,

The Nature's Beauty Besides My Cabin
Through a hole I see
Moon and sea beauty collide
Inspiring my heart.
Chilled right by my side
I can now hear the waves sound
Hurling its spree.
Mountain at my left
Standing like pyramid
Bringing rays of hope.
Full moon is hiding
Behind cumulus thick cloud
Beauty shy my eyes.

Besides
There's no place else I'd rather be
Than right beside your side
The fact that that's indeed the case
From you I do not hide
I've loved you for a thousand years,
Forever and a day
And all I've ever wanted was
To try and find a way
To tell you how I've thought about
And just how much I'd love
To stroll down

Besides
Besides the lies
I accepted it
Besides the remorse
I encourage it
Besides the wickedness
I praised it
Besides the pain
I endured it
Besides the beatings
I wanted it
Besides the love
I resented it
Besides the love
I required it
Besides the joy
I buried it
Besides the happiness
I cut it
Besides the life
I ended it

You Besides My Heart
I got it that we were made to always
be just friends,
But you were more than that to me .
it was so pure that it was almost
forbidden.
forbidden that u could be mine
But i believed I have fallen for an angel.
The Angel that resides besides my heart.
That whenever I feel lonely , I turn next door

Besides Love and Its Fortitude
We long for arms to hug us
when nobody is willing to give up
a minute of their invaluable time;
a consoling embrace, a sympathetic look
can bring much empathy to our tears
and replace what others took
from us having stripped us of all pride,
but not of the unceasing will to rise!
Besides love and its fortitude,
everything else appears small;

Besides Thee
A thirst in heart
A soul again to see
By moonlight-sweet,
Besides thee to lie
Side by side
Eye in eye
Hand in hand.
By morn's light-bright
Besides thee to wake.
Forever,besides thee
Wish I,to stay.

What's To Fear Besides Love
We both say that it's nothing
Knowing it's everything
There's a lot to think about it
And we're denying our dreams
And I'm not asking for you to go first
But what's to fear besides love
What's to Fear Besides love
What's to Fear Besides love
It's not like we first met
Just a few years ago
We've been holding on to something
That each

Besides, I Don'T Even Think That Way
write a poem
make it rhyme
catch a word
out of time
trap it
wrap it
serve it up?
have it read?
boxed like that
is it dead?
limit thought?
how absurd!
why do that
to a word?
rehearse
