Best Deep Within Poems
Buried for eternity
in locked vaults
deep within our hearts
lies the pain
the anguish
unutterable
of hard-won
experience...
Or so we think, until
the faint scars
ever so slightly
are pricked
~ and bleed profusely
The loud rumbling, crashing sounds of thunder
woke me and I nestled into his breast.
A feeling of fearfulness creeps over,
as the flash of lighting hinders my rest.
Rising, he moves toward the closed window,
shutting the drapes. Blocking out the striking
flash, I hid my head under the pillow,
away from the sounds that are frightening.
He gently caressed me with reverence
and a gentle kiss, calming the storm of fear.
I looked up into his eyes in silence,
"I don't like being scared" and cuddled near.
The storm is over, calmness has set in,
and darkness no longer lingers deep within.

I Will Help You
For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. (Isaiah 41:13)
Deep within me...
I as one feel so lovely...
I barely...
have a torn part within me that was abusively...
hurt because of you...
I love you...
Cause we as one do good things...
Good collaboration...
you are my only...
explanation...
when my body come closer to yours it have these, these, uhhhh...
good vibrations...
As I lay my head down to sleep...
I...
me...
just you so close to me...
Baby...
I love the way you kiss...
because it’s this, this, this ummm...
form of bliss...
is not a oceanic abyss...
it’s mysterious it’s deep...
cause I lose my train of thoughts to pause and reminisce...
how your lips on my lips...
your hands was once on my shoulders but they found their way to rock my hips...
This love I have for you is so serious...
Now this might sound a little cliche...
you’re the one that brightens my day...
within my deep concentration...
When in I don’t feel like doing nothing you’re my inspiration...
that gets me to my destination...
When I have a bad day you provide me with more knowledge and extra information...
Thanks boo for being patient...
Now you can stop thinking...
it’s true love ...
Now let your mind take a vacation...
I wonder if I can ever find the words
Those that are in my heart and long to say
I've tried so many times to start to write them
Yet they never sound the right way
Do I say too little or too much
Dare I say what's in my heart and how I long for his touch
Just the sound of his voice would brighten my day
To look in his eyes and know that there is all the words he can not say
To take his hand and hold it close to me
To stand beside him knowing it's where I will always want to be
And so I sit and wonder of things that could be
For these words and feelings will always be with me

The more we
allow ourselves
to feel
what lives
deep inside,
the more familiar
it becomes to us,
giving us
the confidence
to express it
The more
what lives
deep inside
comes out
and finds
its way freely,
the better
it can heal
all that once
was broken
If eyes mirror the clarity of unconditional love - -
in which the reflection of mine do,
would you feel my heartbeats echoing;
deep within you?

~ I want you lost in my eyes ~
* A little romantic scribble *
Lost in a fantasy, eager to make it reality.
Tangled in emotions, too oblivious to see.
How desperate I was for a taste of your love,
all those nights I begged to the one up above.
I sit and swallow the liquid that makes the pain momentarily disappear.
I let myself become incoherent, for there’s no one’s voice I want to hear.
Dazed and lost, I drown in my own thoughts.
Seems to me I’m in a battle that I’ve already fought.
I am unsure if it’s made me stronger or slowly deteriorating me inside.
The wall around my heart is not yet sturdy, and I failed to protect my mind.
I care so much, but yet my heart is becoming cold.
The games, the lies, and deceit are getting old.
I don’t have time for the foolishness, I have too much to give.
To be mislead and only given portions of a person is not the way I want to live.
I have too much to offer and too much to share.
I refuse to invest so much time and emotion on someone who doesn’t care.
However, I tend to find myself in that situation.
The monster that lies within my heart was nothing but my own creation.
I fed myself wishful thoughts and fairytales.
I continued to do so, knowing my heart might be struck with a nail.
I begin to think I'll never learn.
Oh that feeling of being content is something that I yearn.
Lubricate my lips,
venture deep within-
Submerse in nectar.
You occupy a soft spot deep within,
so how could I,
so removed from your day to day,
ever want you to repress any part of yourself,
and expect all the other parts to work well.
Knowing you are experiencing some satisfaction,
where you choose to seek it,
warms in some way, even far away,
the unselfish part of my being.
Deep within Yourself
Deep within yourself there is a flicker of light
Remember when we soared the skies
before all the pain and darkness
remember how we met
remember the games we used to play
exhausted devoured in love
oblivious of what was coming
Deep within you there is a flicker of Divine light
just waiting to explode and illuminate your world and hearts around
remember the light of your soul
remember His spirit is inside you
remember how you soared the galaxies
set yourself free
release your inner self
Deep within yourself there is a flicker of light
its growing bigger and bigger
and you are healing and growing stronger every day
yes there will be days when you feel like giving up
yes there will be days that you feel you failed
this dear one is part of your growth
you know it
you feel it
All the while growing deep within you your light is brightening
at first you stumble forward
then you walk
with each step your inner light is growing and growing
before you realize it, you'll be running
your mind will be clear
all your senses will be enhanced
From deep within yourself Divine light will explode
you will be whole again
you will be at peace with yourself
Divine light will radiate from your depth
So illuminating hearts like a fast flow of water
your world will fall into place as it was meant to be
you are meant to be happy
deep within the confines of my heart
lies a very special place I keep barren
only a worthy caring person can apply
for admission to this wonderful place
many have tried as many have failed
my bar is set purposely for failure
even if they get close, they still fail
a few months ago, a woman entered my world
with a broken, vulnerable heart, badly crushed
we began a friendship that has continued
to blossom into deep caring feelings for her, for me
she has proven to be worthy of this special place
funny, we made a pinky promise to never purposely
to hurt each other ~to keep our hearts safe from harm
now, she resides permanently inside that special place
she helped open my heart to live once more
having her inside the confines allows me to whisper
the words she needs to hear that will put her heart, healthy
welcome my wonderful, beautiful friend to the heart of
calm serenity and a peacefulness to be free from harm
Frequently, fragrantly followeth I
Fickle and fallow and famously shy
New love is true love and true love is known
Not by the seed but the need to be grown
Fortune may function to fashion your fate
Finding the future of passion is great
If your position is painfully pressed
Feign your audition and gainfully rest
Blamelessly fighting the urge of the pack
Shamelessly citing the courage they lack
Purely delighting the young and the old
Surely inciting the tongue of the bold
Sleeping is meant to be well by the way
Reaping her scent by the smell of the day
Keeping her bent to the vent is the key
Seeping that went from the tent next to me
Leaping about is the essence of fame
Deepening doubt is the presence of blame
Death is the vagrance of hope in the beast
Life is the fragrance of love in the least.

Somewhere deep within the soul
There lies an untapped power
That's just waiting to break free
Waiting for the right moment
For that resolution
That awakens one's true potential.
It's a far way down
In the curious rabbit hole
To dive right into the core
That rests within the heart
So close, yet so far away
For the path to such a treasure
Is filled with obstacles to overcome
This is the trial one must face
If he wants to claim himself.
Diving deep into the unknown
Can be terrifying for one
For the deeper you swim
The darker it becomes
Like the bottom of the ocean floor.
It shakes your core
Enough to break you down
Surrounded by nothingness
Feeling as though you'll fade
Swallowed up by the darkness
That tries to engulf you.
The darker the darkness
The brighter the light becomes
For just before your eyes
There lies the catalyst
Just in reach.
Will you give up now?
Your just in reach
Keep going forth
With all your strength
Your almost there.
You break free from doubt
Leaving behind all that you know
Casting the shell of mortality aside
Having the resolve within you
To become more than you are
All possible from deep within.
Deep within throes of writer's block cerebral cortex feels frozen to the core
Haint no rhyme nor reason
why writing a poem such an arduous chore
twenty two days afore
winter solstice twenty twenty more
or less three weeks from tomorrow
November thirtieth, I implore
the god/goddess of poetry,
perhaps found within Bangalore
highlighted by the 'Green Door'
guarded by the key don Eeyore
also known as Al Gore
him of Earth in the Balance fame
who by George got ambushed unsure
if he chad chance to claim victory tour
when former candidate did score
less electoral college votes
nevertheless in my mind before
thoroughgoing count did ignore
discarded ballots scattered
all across the floor
which outcome incurred Iraq war
insinuating weapons of mass destruction
the gung ho forty third president forswore
existed but quite a few
respectable Republicans did abhor
pinning such ambiguous lore
upon head of recalcitrant Saddam Hussein
bombed back to stone age
think lavishing primitive home decor
no imprecation heaped and hurled
upon United States military, nor
thug, who nobody did adore
asking politely "por favor
can I pretty please take detour
to Galapagos Islands of Ecuador
made famous courtesy Charles Darwin
still popular best selling author
at garden variety generic bookstore
which borders on ridiculous for sure
yet inane rhyme tore
thru my noggin after writer's block
yours truly did deplore
he would spend countless hours in vain
every burst of creativity I did explore
found me smack dab against
figurative cul de sac and bonjour
to you too three score
orbitz after me late papa did bore
mama, she passed away
fifteen years before.
A song in my heart is my desire and a peaceful place to go.
A love inside like a melody to melt my heart like snow.
A hope that can linger on and on and make all things worthwhile.
Someone special close by me who can make me laugh and smile.
A dream that I can hold on to when life's trials come my way.
A life of contentment and fullness, that can't be taken away.
A quest to achieve my ambition with grace and charm the key.
I trust that others can see it, the beauty deep within me!
