Jovan Poems


Premium MemberOnly In My Dreams

Only in dreams can you truly be mine 
for it is only in sleep that you smile 
Like a star in the sky I can see you shine 
only when you walk me down the aisle 
Only in my dreams hours cease to exist 
like the handles of time turning in accord
love slips inside like perfume on my wrist 
setting me on fire like a flimsy chord
Only in my dreams do you wear cologne 
the only evidence of your auric presence 
a touch of Jovan musk mingled with your own 
and soon I have found your elective essence 

Only in dreams can you truly be all mine 
like a star shining, I only covet the shine.

Premium MemberThe Best of Times

Splashed myself with Jovan musk..
to cover up sweat from the docks.
worked all day, back ached.,but I swear,
I'm comin' to see you bright-eyed one.

'Cause you were the best of times,
you were the worst of times, and 
I swear to always love 'em both...

Quick fill up for the trusty Mercury..
picked through my favorite tapes,
while miles of curvy road fade to twilight. 

Sister Fran said 'she'll be down in a minute',
I sit and talk to her and brother Tom..,
while you preen and finger the Aqua Net..

Fashionably late to the Sadie Hawkins dance.,
let it sway and twirl in your Farrah Fawcett waves,
acted bored at the tinsel covered gym,
friends in decoration committee made so fine..

And I care about you so, never want to let you go,
it's sure to break my weary mind. 

Pull you close to let the street lights play..
pass my arm around elastic waist,
jean pockets were made to hook a lover
and I always love that bright eyed face.  

Two fiery eyes shined in the best of times,
stormy reverie in the worst of times, and 
I swear to always love 'em both...

This Sadness Smells Like Jovan

my heart breaks
the scissors cut deep in the fairytale
i saw you go down
nothing is the same

my heart cries
the knife in the joyride left behind so much blood
i saw you beg for mercy
nothing is the same

my heart dies
the gun with the illegal bullets branded a permanent mark
i saw you take your last breath slowly and painfully
it will never be the same
