Best So Close Poems
Midst the dark of night,
neath the veil of moonlight,
I'll wait for you,
my eyes never losing sight of your face,
always in touch with your hand.
Somewhere in time is where we’ll begin,
consummating our moment for an eternity.
Until then make love to me with words,
echo them within my heart,
etch them upon my memory.
Our embrace will last forever;
through many flames our love has endured.
We have sewn our seeds beyond the depths of ordinary,
drowning out hate, reaping love’s serenity.
Tonight, I will dream you here,
so close to see the love in your eyes,
to drown inside the pool of your need,
soaring past Luna’s seductive lips,
as she whispers your name to me....
So close.~
Sunny today
but Oh what a chill
The wind inhales and exhales
the trees bend on the hill
Winnie the Poohs Blustery Day
just cannot compete
In like a lion and out like a lamb
I am so tired of paying for heat
I long for crocuses, tulips and green
it seems like ages since they have been seen
Across the room her face shines bright
while talking with her friends;
her presence fills me with delight
with beauty that transcends.
She caught my eye right from the start,
but feelings that I can’t impart.
She caught my eye…
she caught my eye
but knows not what is in my heart.
Across the room her face shines bright
as feelings I conceal;
she thinks me as a friend alright
not knowing how I feel.
I’m just a friend; we talk of life;
our busy lives so full and rife.
I’m just a friend…
I’m just a friend
which fills my very soul with strife.
Across the room her face shines bright
so close yet out of reach;
to woo her just would not be right,
and love would be a breach.
To someone else her life belongs,
and I will not commit these wrongs.
To someone else…
to someone else
she walks away; I sing sad songs.

I can feel her presence
Going through this adolescence
My lyrics are out this world
But I’m so down to Earth
I touch all her senses
Mind, body, and soul
The way I explain
You thought I made her whole
My words give meanin’
And every word
Takes her through the ceilin’
So far in miles
To get there
May take a while
I’ll make her important
Better yet queen of the Nile
So close we share the same pulse
So deep she feels the impulse
Yet
I believe the simple word
Cuts sharp like a sword
Yet is what split us
Yet is offended
Like someone cuss
So close to the end
Yet so far from it
So close yet so far
You were right there.
Close enough that if I leaned
just a little more
the space between us would have vanished.
Our shoulders almost touching,
your breath folding into the quiet air,
my hands pretending to rest calmly
while every nerve in me
reached for you.
It is a strange ache,
to miss someone
while they are sitting beside you.
I wanted something small.
Your hand in mine.
My fingers tracing the outline of your face.
A kiss that didn’t need witnesses.
Just proof that the distance I felt
wasn’t real.
Hours passed like held breath.
I memorized the warmth of you
without touching it.
I loved you without moving.
And when I left,
my hands were empty,
but my heart
was unbearably full.
Inspired by the first song I heard on the radio:
Her breath is bad, her armpits reek -
I try to move away.
I open windows, hold my breath -
her awful pong will stay.
Her silent, deadly gas escapes,
I spray the stinky air.
I wish she'd wash and change her clothes,
shampoo her greasy hair.
I truly wonder how she'll cope
some day if she encounters soap!
Poetry and wine.
Substitute companionship.
Lonesomeness with you.
The first time our lips shared a kiss
Was even better than first time I shot a 3 pointer and didn’t miss.
I can’t help but smile when I picture your beautiful face,
Believe me when I say no one can ever take your place.
A piece of my heart is yours, I believe it’s corazon in Spanish,
But this is my worry, that my feelings for you may never vanish.
Whenever I have the chance to make a wish upon a star,
I wish for you, because I feel I’m so close, yet so far…
Maybe it’s because of expectations I just can’t meet,
Maybe it’s because of my spirituality, although I feel that aspect of life is right at my feet,
Maybe if I was Puerto Rican with 40-inch arms,
I can never be Puerto Rican, but maybe I can grow some guns if I finally set the alarms.
Maybe if I was someone with an engineer job who you can take home to mom,
But my ambitions are growing, so much so that it’s hard for me to keep calm.
Whenever I have the chance to make a wish upon a star,
I wish for you, because I feel I’m so close, yet so far…
I love you as my best friend, but also love you in that other way,
So sorry I have complicated things so much, but is it possible one day I can still call you bae?
Deep down I know the answer, but a part of me still wants to hold faith and hope,
I would to do anything to catch the girl of my dreams, man that would be so dope.
Even if not with you in the end, I am still thankful for this experience of being in love,
Ever since it happened, I still can’t help but thank the man above…
I know an old lady called Mel
By golly she doesn’t half smell
When she lifts up her arm
It is cause for alarm
I shout bye and then run like hell!

I’m so sick of everything
I’m so sick of everyone
All these temptations
And everyone giving in
In this world so cold
I long for something
For something to hold
When happiness seems so far
Trying to remember who you are
I’m so sick of the lies
You love what I despise
Over and over again
I get dragged back to where I began
The sun seems forgotten where I stand
Because in this dark night I lose who I am
In this world so cold
I long for something
For something to hold
When happiness seems so far
Trying to remember who you are
I can feel you dragging me down
While you are reaching the crown
You do everything you can to escape
To escape the memories of your fate
I need to find a way from you
So I can learn to stay true
In this world so cold
I long for something
For something to hold
When happiness seems so far
Trying to remember who you are
I’m so sick of the lies
You love what I despise
Over and over again
I get dragged back to where I began
The sun seems forgotten where I stand
Because in this dark night I lose who I am
It rips my heart apart
To see you behind bars
That keeps me away from you
I can't help the tears that keep falling
The pain strikes deep in my very core
I can't control myself
I can't move on from here
I am lost in the fear
I am drowning in a bitter sorrow
I am down on the ground
beaten to the bitterness of death that is among me
My health has shattered in pieces
I am so weak that my breath is no longer within me
I no longer have you near
I am alone
I feel abandoned and lost
For you made the mistake and were taken away from me
No I stand here beaten and abused from the misery I must take
I have no choice then to lay here in the pain I bear
I found happiness though you memory still haunts me dear
I can't get over you
I can't move on from what you drove into the very heart of my existance
I can't escape the chaos you created
I can't lose sight to what you put in place when you disappeared.
You're so close, but yet so far away
Even on the longest never ending days
I don't know why, but you make me wanna say
How did I find someone so perfect in every way
You're in my thoughts no matter how far
You shine brighter than any star
Our love is so strong there is no boarder
The distance between the two of us only makes it stronger
Every night before I go to bed
The thoughts of us, rush through my head
I lay my head on my pillow wishing it was you
The thought of you next to me is what gets me through
& after everything you put me through, I still miss you
So close, but yet so far away
The love between us will never stray.
-- by Hilary & I.
best friends for life!
Never saw the moon in love before
Looking at it now, has it always been
So far away you see the same…….. moon
Breath-taking view from the edge
Only because I see you there
I’ve come undone
Now that you are so far away
Chorus:
So close yet so far away from me
You are so far away from me
The time and distance that’s between
Could never take away what I feel
I will always feel you next to me
Your smile will stand time
Break down the walls that I built
I only cry because of you
And the flowers that grow
Comes from you
But yet you are so far away
Chorus:
I’ll travel the seas in search of you
For a thousand year till I find you
Together we will be for eternity
Chorus:
It's all so close, but so far away...
One day I'll meet him,
my prince charming.
The day I see him,
it will be alarming.
What will I do,
what will I say.
I love you too,
don't ever go away.
We will be together soon,
I can't wait for that day.
We will have a family too,
it feels so far away.
I wish you could hold me,
tell me "It will be OK".
But three months felt like three years,
were still months away.
It's all so close,
but so far away.

I’ve seen wretched souls
fall poorer by stealth
I’ve seen frail old people
endure pain as they knelt
Climbing mountains barefoot
pilgrimages never stop
A penance for being born
light your candle at the top
I’ve seen false prophets
adorn halls with great wealth
I’ve seen saints being evoked
promising to cure ill health
Down beside the grotto
past where wheelchairs roll
Believers lie prostrate
whilst souvenirs are sold
They beg for miracles
hoping prayers will be felt
Some have their spirits raised
gods name becomes misspelt
Selective interpretations
scriptures bent to suit man
Dogmatic, stern beliefs
hushed silence, vetoes, bans
under forced indoctrination
this mind started to melt
Brainwashed in a classroom
with the strap of a belt
Now feel worthy of nothing
and deserving of it all
I still must climb mountains
but try avoid the brick walls
