Best Got Under My Skin Poems
Beetle ManiaA Jewel beetle I did meet one day.
What a gem was she with her sparkling way.
Another beetle I’d been pining for . . .
the Mountain Pine beetle was easy to adore.
The Pinching beetle, also as Stag beetle is known.
It’s no wonder that he goes...

A Blue Suede Heart Break From LifeI shook my hips down at Heart Break Hotel...
My ghost now supposedly wanders to where, I just
will not tell.
I had a twin brother that died at birth...
My mother i dearly loved had died and i had had her put beneath
the grave sight's earth.
I smiled my...

Tattooed On My HeartHoneysuckle can't survive on tear drops
And rainbows lose their beauty without rain
Heavens sent down angels that still haunt me
And tattooed on my heart is your name
What seemed so temporary is now forever
And I carry you with me all the time
But my heart's not the...

Thai ByThai By
This place gets under your skin. Slowly creeping in like black Texas gold. I said I'd never partake in the cat house girls. Seeing them each day for eighteen months was routine. Walking past the 'venues' to my shop. Usual hi's and hello's.
Then...

Verse
You'Ve GoneYou said "why don't you just get over it",
But it's really not that easy,
I feel incomplete without you here,
Wondering where we went wrong.
For once I was happier than ever,
I could feel the fireworks,
I felt the sparks and saw the color
In your cheeks when we kissed.
I...

I Allowed YouBecause for once i allowed you in,
to take a breathe, deeper then skin,
you cut away deep at my soul,
you took away my only hope,
my belief in a life with you by my side,
a wonder in words you so often denied,
everything you whispered all the...

HollowThe hours I spent,
Wasting my damn time confiding in you.
Are you now going to sit there,
With a smug grin plastered on your face,
And tell me it was all for nothing?
I don't know,
I've never been in love,
Where my heart swells with euphoria,
Only to have it smashed...

PenanceWhat is yours and what is mine?
What is that line you so carefully defined?
Define the air that pumps in my veins..
That desperation of your warmth in the rain
Rained and ruined that roof I built and cherished
Cherish my restlessness… I’m left with no home
Now has...

TrappedWhy do I still feel trapped
If you've set me free?
Is there nothing that can loosen
Your hold on me?
Please release this death grip
You have on my heart.
If you squeeze any tighter,
I'll surely fall apart.
I told you it's over,
And I don't want to be friends,
But your love...

Annoying Basketball Kid 2009It was to be a lazy afternoon
spent at a nearby park.
Jordan, Anthony, and I
swung on the swings
and climbed their wooden structure
& the gazebo.
We thought back on how we all
used to hang out...
