Every Time

Every time our eyes meet
I’m amazed at what I see
I understand what love is
When you're looking back at me

Every time I think of you
I cannot help but smile
With hope you’re mine forever more
And not just for a while

Every time you hold me
It's so hard to let you go
Being in your arms
The safest place I’ll ever know

Every time you touch me
I feel it deep inside
You light my flame within
You see the love I cannot hide

Every time I leave you 
There’s a pain inside so real
An empty space inside my heart
That only you can fill

Every time I doubt
Together we will be one day
I think of you and realize
Our love will find a way..

Thankful

I am thankful for the time I was allowed to spend with you.
and knowing the happiest time in my life lasted one week true.

To kiss your tender lips and hold your healing hands
was something very special experienced by a simple man. 

To see the mark upon your face like no other woman would dare
gave me a sense of truth in a time when I was lost in despair. 

Yes I made mistakes but I can not refuse my love
because I know deep down in my soul youre all I'm thinking of 

My vanilla bean my lion queen youre still my number one
and if your love was meant to hurt me I'd do it over just for fun 

48 hours on the phone a record in my book 
We talked about everything from religion to what we cooked 

We told each other I love yous and we said sweet dreams 
We snored until the sun came up or until the morning sun gleamed 

We read books to each other for hours on the phone 
and we played online games when we were bored at home 

I am so greatful to have met someone just like you 
but I admit that I was the biggest mistake that you could ever do;)

for someone who will always remain in my heart thank you for the time shared:)

Time Enough

in our measure of time
there are curious circles filling our days,
numbered moments marked by the scars of transiting lights,
heavens moguls of tribulation 'n plight,
that give or take away --

the indifference of time that measures man,
in cycles round 'bout heavens span,
meted out in lines that grid the world
in constant sorrow, Saturn stuttered,
disappearing today in some further loss of tomorrow,
yet we also know that ticking clocks in circles go,
'til time enough for love is lost to reasons chains and at what cost;

the Gods of Time in cycles go, a-round, a-bout, a-turning slow,
fast re-turned, they come, they go,
there's time enough, for love you know.

though I spend my time,
circling the horizon with my mind's eye,
seeking the curve of her Venus belt,
a circumference of sunset reds,
surrounding the sky, she is on the face of it,
a timeless piece, a swinging pendulum of rhythms sway,
a clock that circumscribes my day,
and in every second of my nights,
a tick to my tock that ne'er quits
nor ever is passe'

Everyday I Try To Stop Time So I Can Be With You Forever

I turn back the hands of the antique grandfather
But the seconds continue but for you I still bother
I take the batteries out of every clock
To call on you again and to hear your remark

I have succumb to my love and I’m working in my life’s endeavor
Everyday I try to stop time so I can be with you forever

I put more sand in the hour- glass
Hoping it will work and the minutes will not pass
To be together I will use all of my will
I pray to god that the moment can stand still

I have succumb to my love and I’m working in my life’s endeavor
Everyday I try to stop time so I can be with you forever


I’ll do what I have to do and I will not botch
I’ll rip up every calendar and break every watch
I’ll block out the light to shadow the sundial
Just to get a second look at your beautiful smile

I have succumb to my love and I’m working in my life’s endeavor
Everyday I try to stop time so I can be with you forever

To keep our passion locked away in our home
I’ll stop the clicks of every metronome
Do you understand my words and what I’m trying to convey
For you I’d stop the sun and moon to get just one more day

Premium Member I Saw You

I saw you.
It wasn’t like the first time I saw you
or maybe, it was?

Nothing much happened (the earth didn’t move).
You appeared no more or less,
than the lump of clay you are;
before you turned on the charm;
or I did?

Before you became the irresistible object,
and I the immoveable force,
before the dance began.

I saw you.
It wasn’t like the last time I saw you
Or maybe, it was?

Nothing much happened,
The mountainous bulk of you had been climbed,
and one too many times.

The charm was spent
you were now the immoveable force
and I no longer the irresistible object.
The hats had changed.
The clowns’ faces were rearranged.

Being no longer immoveable,
having made way,
given to you my all;
no longer was I the Holy Grail,
worthy of your desire;

 Nor were you, my Everest, 
worthy of drinking from my cup.

I saw you.
It was the last time I saw you
Or maybe, it wasn’t?


If Time...

If time had eyes, 
They'd be blue.
If time had lips,
They'd say: "I love you".
If time had arms,
They would embrace.
If time had legs, 
They'd, surely, race.
If time had lungs,
They'd breath fresh air.
If time had ears,
There would be a pair.

If time were a person,
She would be a girl.
If time were a person,
She'd wear pearls.
If time were to love,
She'd love her mate.
If She were to love,
She would have a first date.
If She were to look,
She'd find the one.
If She were to wait,
She'd still be fun.

But time is not a person,
With no arms or legs.
Time is not a person, 
She neither pleads nor begs.
Time is not a person,
No heart with which to love.
Time is not a person, 
No essence from up above.
Time is Time and time again. 
Time can come from where you begin.
Time is Time where time may start.
Time will heal your broken heart.

I Too Was Once Loved

I too was once loved
As I remember
A time when his name
Caused seizures in my tummy
Oxygen debts to my beating heart
Dreams to my forgotten mind
The north wind to my soul
Life sights that can never be appreciated when not seen by his side


I too was once loved
As I remember
A moment in time when the clock ran
And I bathed in its ticking
A time when never
Did I wonder
Nor did I covet
For he was all that I needed


With him and in him
I found me
My inner beauty
My hidden talents
My flaws
Of greed
Envy
Obsession
Vanity
Egoism


Insensitivity and
Tyranny 
My flaws
All beyond his care
I too was once loved
As I remember
A point during my greatest flaws,
When I was shown
Sincerity


Compassion
Tolerance
Commitment
Forgiveness
Love and
Passion
All taken for granted
And now I too understand 
Why I was once loved
Why his beauty can never love my beast again

Tearful Streams At Love's Fork

Bartered tears with your love adorn
Twin streams from pure, spring founts born
Sappy pores gushing with showers of contrition on christening morn
Exchanged with vows that o'er time were weathered and torn
Briny waves of doubt crested; fealties' banks shorn
Now bottled memories silted with salty tears forlorn
Eroding tear ducts inundated and with passing time worn   
Brackish vapor distilled with rotting dreams; with nauseous fumes borne
Corroded promises mired in a dry bed of scorn
Cloaked in callous foliage spited with thistle and thorn
Meeting at the jaded fork; once vibrant streams solemnly mourn
Stagnant puddles awaiting reincarnation; at next season's fertile rains reborn

An After Love

Was it some time ago…?
Some time ago has it already been
Feels to be time I have borrowed
Or did I just awake to a dream?

No longer do I wonder
How am I to be as how you are…!
Time has pass to bother
Where I’ll be, shall you be far

Has it been that long…?
Yet felt was it just a tear away
Did love befall to belong?
Or simply… its just another day

Pain is replace with lesser pain
And to learn, it isn’t for time to forgive, its me
Whether to be, myself I see remain
Can I accept a you being just a memory?

Is it some time ago…?
Some time ago to already have been
To the times I have misused and borrowed
Am I not still in a dream…?

Bring Me To Peace

when the truth arrived
 enveloped, it was November
 
and at the inception 

standing quiet
 the rags of innocence
 were ripped from my eyes 

I mourned what never was 

grasping at
 this breech of faith
 both hands reached
 and disappeared
 into the vapour,
 where once
 you laid to rest
 
paper fluttered down
 
I hadn’t realised
 I had given more
 than I intended
 never seeing the game
 that was played
 in the shadows
 of the day 

my life-force was attained
 
belief in humanity
 suffered and shattered
 from the burn
 of this betrayal,
 paranoia sits with me
 hand in hand 

my fingers tapped out the tune 

as the veracity of this
 deception,
 was validated
 time and time again 

So I am not mad
 but grieving
