Best Worlds Apart Poems
At night when the stars stare at me,
I tried getting back our old memories.
Talking like a fool while watching the moon,
hoping you're on the other side staring back.
Coldness swallowed my being when I walk down the ground.
Searching for a path where we first laid our bodies down.
Breathless, you swore in my ears while we reach the finale.
You and I, 'til we're world apart, no one can divide.
Then you left my soul in the midst of darkness.
I learned how to embrace loneliness and pain.
I've waited too long to see you walking back at me.
Holding my hands and set my spirit free.
Years had faded my auburn hair into grey.
Whispering softly your name in the wind.
When the sunshine meets me in the morning
I know my darling, we're one heart in heaven.
A poem dedicated to Harry James.
We’re worlds apart
Afraid to start
How can I live without you in my heart?
The ecstasy,
The Controversy
How can I spend another day without you?
We will never know what will come of the love that we share
No one thing in this world could stand to compare
The kind words that are exchanged
The touch of your warm embrace
I could stay in this moment forever
Stroking your hair tonight
As your laying right there by my side
Keeping you warm
Under the moonlight.
The reflection of the bridge lights on the water
Make my mind constantly wonder
I couldn’t imagine any moment to feel so perfect
Your soft lips come in for the taking
No negative words
Nothing to break me
At that moment I feel a glimpse of heaven
Break through and capture my soul.
The rain droplets fall down the elevator
As we are so close and so warm inside.
I turn to look at you,
And see you fast asleep , holding me tight.
I cant help thinking
what it would be like to spend everyday
of my life this way
If I let this love go,
I will never be able to show
The amount of warmth I have inside
And eventually
The love will subside.
But, we are worlds apart,
Afraid to start.
How can I live without you in my heart?
Now we're worlds apart, I've never felt so misplaced
I don't know where to start, the days I find hard to face
Now I'm wondering what to do?, it's like I no longer exist
Trying to find a way through, I just can't help but reminisce
And I ask why it is she had to leave what exactly went wrong?
Without her I find it hard to breathe, the days they seem so long
The chances of us getting back? now probably a million to one
Any advances on a panic attack, but it's so hard now she's gone
If ever I'm walking down the street, and which ever way I turn
I keep hoping we will once again meet, as for her I still yearn
So many opportunities for questions I could have then asked
And now she’s just another faded out picture from the past
Now she is just someone that I once knew but still I really miss
I can't help but feel so blue, thinking of times that we had, bliss!
I'll cut to the chase, she was someone who touched my heart
Still I think of us in that time and space, though we're worlds apart

Worlds Apart…
The words are in my head, but I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know where to start, we’re worlds apart…
So many years of love between us
So many days of joy we’ve shared
So many countless nights of passion
And now we feel the wear and tear
Can’t see through the wall between us
Can’t live through the endless fight
Can’t survive the pain or pressure
Close our eyes to the blinding light
The words are in my head, but still I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know where to start, because we’re worlds apart…
Seen through your eyes or through mine
I believe the picture looks the same
The truth is all wrapped up in lies
And neither of us can hide the shame
Not one of us better than the other
We both can read between the lines
With each day it grows much clearer
We both have seen the warning signs
The words are all within my head, but some things I just won’t say
And I don’t know where to start, we are worlds apart…
Another night of useless struggle
As you now dream asleep at rest
And tomorrow come the morning
I will arise to another breath
And as another day of endless longing
Begins to come alive in me
Still another part now weeping
Will fail to open its eyes and see
The words are all within my head, but I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know where to start, we are worlds apart…
We're in a crazy
Falling fantasy
Dancing on the lazy
Crazy side of me
As we start to spin
Dizzy as can be
Begins a passion
Eyes can't see
Taking some time
To tease and chase
Minds so sublime
While senses race
We chance the sin
That's in our heart
And dance within
A screen apart
Worlds apart are we
a windswept leaf and me
drifting forever on a current
heading back to the past
In this world one cannot ever have what they need more than anything else,
in that world the other will miss what they want more than anything else,
so they live in loss, now one must leave to have the one thing missing and needed.
What has been left behind they cannot bear to lose,
they return, leaving what they will always need,
in this world both long for what they need, at what cost?
Dawn tears betray, together or apart one will always be worlds apart,
from the one thing they need more than anything else.
Two different people from two different times
Two different ways, two different lives
Too big a gap to ever be crossed
Too much given will be too much lost
Tiny baubles of silica baking
mixed hues of brown and tan marble dots
juxtaposition meringue peaks
Desert dunes intersecting
wind-whipped terra-forma
sun-dried expression
of natures rant
desert dunes
smiling
bright.
Bleak
empty
crevasses
empty valleys
caressing the dark
broken hearts beat no more
ringed stories long forgotten
concatenated lifeless dreams
frozen in time they forever stand
empty vessels no longer utilized.

Theme: Nature
You were the one person I confided in
From you no secrets I kept
Everything I ever hid within
I knew I could talk to you
Day or night it never mattered what time
For every problem you were there to see me thru
And now without you here
I’m lost…I don’t know what to do
Everyone tells me you’re in a better place
But in my heart there still remains an empty space
Every day I fight the urge to call
Telling myself there’s no use at all
Because I know that never again
Will I hear your voice on the other end of the line
People keep saying that it just takes time
But I know that’s just another lie
Nothing I try to do could ever erase this pain
I look up and talk to the sky
Wondering if you can even hear me way up there
And again I begin to cry
Close to my heart
Doesn’t mean much at all
When we’re not just miles, but worlds apart!
Silent is the stand, gentle is the gaze
The view of the meadow is grand, in oh so very many ways
The person looks on, all is as it was
Gentle and green grass, dancing every day
Resplendent river of rich mass, safariing without a stay
Soothing sun’s soft seal, seeding spirit so
Hearty and halcyon hills heal, fostering faith and fancy’s flow
Fervent flowers flirt, fetching fair fondness
Many sunrises, many moonrises
Silent is the stand, gelid is the glare
The view of the meadow is bland, with oh so very little there
The person looks on, forever blinded
Grating green grass grasps, conforming cluster
Rudimental river raves rasps, lolling and lacking all luster
Stinging sun’s sharp seal, scorching spirits so
Haughty and harsh hills are all heel, fostering fear and feral’s flow
Feigned flowers flaunt fast, fetching feeble fools
Forever meadow, forever human
There said two worlds can't make a right, but who said it was easy
,who said it would be hard .now you want
to go but am afraid it may be too
late for me to let go, of what
we had, when i see you my mind gets
Crazy, i love how my mind gets so
hazy. They told you, that no good
Thing will ever come from a man
born without a silver spoon, and they
told me that you and i were
never meant to be. Respect
and honor i gave them but mine
They said i must earn. And
so they said two
worlds cant
make a right.
You said you have, and I have not anything –
You are monied, and I am down and helpless
So let me alone to my fate to go
Away from you to my lonely abode
To on my lonely bed rest, and romance poverty
And sing her praises that is my newfound love
And enjoy to the fullest over empty laughs that never crossed teeth:
The world has treated me so.
You said you have, and I have not anything –
You are monied, and I am down and helpless
So let me alone to my fate to go
Away from you to my lonely abode
To timelessly dine and wine with poverty
On a tableless banquet of sad memories and sorrows
And sing praises to the one who brought me here:
The world has treated me so.
You said you have, and I have not anything –
You are monied, and I am down and helpless
So let me alone to my fate to go
Away from you to my lonely abode
To enjoy rest of mind in free sweet cry
And the rivers, Niger and Benue, flood with innocent hot tears
Of a man who knows not what next to do, where to go next–
The world has treated me so.
I promised a poem for you one day
Before I knew it you went away
Now just memories of you I hold
I'd do it anyway, to myself I told
What once was love is now an end
From whom I called my best friend
My life I changed, and still I would
To give this to you, I wish I could
We're worlds apart, that won't change
A life so lonely, yet not so strange
Your birthday I missed to help a friend
But its you I miss in the end
Like two hungry wanderers,
We met.
I, from the direction
You were set.
I was cupping a story
And all you had was beauty.
I poured my powdery story
On your breast
And then on your head.
With my tongue, I drummed
On your tympanum
Till you danced the dance
Which carried to the distance
The thump… thump… thump
Of our leathery hearts.
Briskly, briskly till they split.
Now, riven
Forever by too much passion.
The miasma of stillborn feelings
Hangs on within like an undying warble
To garnish our memories.
For it was such bloody ambrosia
That stripped us
Absolutely of all:
Garments, flesh, and bones;
Heart, mind and spirit.
