Im not your enemy

So many memories
of when I wasn't the enemy
when you craved just to be next to me
Flashbacks to how your love used to be
Like our future together 
was so easy for you to see
You wanted every part of me
n every night I was the one starring in your dreams
Being close made us both feel so complete
way back when it hurt so bad 
when I had to leave
I close my eyes and can still
feel my heart & souls relief 
these memories now can 
sometimes be hard to conceive 
even more so when I know
how differently Im perceived 
you no longer see what our 
Souls together can achieve 
The doubt thats filled your heart 
has left scars in parts that were
once filled with belief 
Im not your enemy 
but im almost out of energy
I cant compete
with your lost visions of me
thought your love was mine to keep
now I just sit here in complete agony
feeling so damn incomplete
Damn, the irony...

I'm not a Lady Chatterley's lover

I'm not a Lady Chatterley's lover.
I'm not her gamekeeper, I just dream of her.
I've been ensnared by her outward charm,
and though I know it will cause great harm,
I intend to read her, cover to cover.

Renaissance

Rain falls wet upon my body,
I lay half-dormant in the gutter of my mind.
Unable to move, it worsens
Striking cold and hard.

Then brightness sifts through parting clouds,
And the sky begins to glow.
I rise, stretch and go my way
As your warmth dries my weary soul.

Your Name Is Just a Word Now

Your name is just a word now.
It’s lost its fierce effect.
You’re folded in the herd now,
not easy to detect.

Your photograph is blurred now.
It’s like you’re lost in space.
Your voice, no longer heard now.
I can’t recall your face.

It all seems so absurd now!
How was I tempted in?
The future is preferred now.
So let the fun begin!

Longing for closure

sweet tender words may suffice
dreams have a life of their own
only actions go the distance

Since You've Been Gone

You'd tilt cartons under your nose;
milk missed your mouth and cooled my toes.

Droplets have hardened when they've seeped
under the bed, the run now steeped

in stickiness since you've been gone.
If shadows sleep, mine has withdrawn

under the bed asleep like dust
when squeaks wake up the bedframe's rust.

Your absence forces me to yank
the mattress off to scour the rank

sourness and rough smattering
of crumbs, the stuck broom battering

lampshades reddening my eyes , beets
as if I am a ghost in sheets

circling a glass bowl's facedown rim
embedded in the dust grown dim.

Your ability

I talked to you tonight 
And even over the phone 
You force it all to disappear 
And it becomes us all alone 

No other people or problems 
Nothing but us exist then
Floating on a cloud with you 
Earth feels as if its heaven 

How is it you're able to do this 
To me it's fully a mystery 
There's nothing but your love 
In life that can sustain me

Strangers in the Night

Are you glad that we two met 
in someone's dorm room - 
alcohol and youth and us,  
strangers in the night?

A course of pain and pleasure,
inexorably
set - do you regret we're not
strangers in the night?

Temptations

Open relationships 
Need strong moral fiber
Express your true feelings 
Never lie to your own heart 
Ignite your passions
Give them air to breathe
Hope for a reciprocal breeze
Trust that same moral fiber
Search for a reciprocal soul
Trade your heart for theirs
Avoid fast-track love
Never fall prey to peer pressure 
Dangerous liasons 
Sadly end with tears

Be Positive

making others feel worthless does not increase the value of ourselves

Believe At Least

I’ve run out of things to say to you
I who love how language feels 
Cannot see your thoughts to know,
How to ask what you conceal.

Perfection is fine to a point,
An everlasting urge
but I’d never breathe again,
If I did not share our eternal love.

The exquisite princess of maiden joy
Can sacrifice her honor and her name,
By giving of her sullen self
from within her hidden carnal dream.

Understand the silent plan
The never spoken thought.
Reflect on days never lived,
Answers never given, never sought.

Receive please what you are due.
Believe at least that I love you.

Body and Soul

Body and Mind give way to the Heart and Soul. 
They let the emotions take over yet remain in control. 
Passion and sentiment now replace logic and reason. 
Interchanging ever so slightly- as if from season to season.

Feelings flow freely, replacing all thought. 
Emotions running wild without fear of being fought. 
The Mind sits back and takes no part, 
letting all decisions be made by the Heart.

And throughout the Body the Soul can now freely flow. 
With the Heart now in control the Body can only follow. 
As the Soul controls the actions revealing it's glow. 
Every decision now based on "I feel" not "I think" or "I know" 

Emotions unchecked by the Mind, the Heart's desires continue to grow,
and with the help of the Soul will continue to do so. 
The Heart and Soul move slowly but soon control All. 
This is what takes place when, in Love we fall.

Ancient Poems

Ancient poems resurrected and recited
From the murky depths of history,
You hold, against your breast,
The fresh warmth you now perceive.

I tell you tales of my youth
Of day and night, dawn and twilight.
Alive still in my beating, aching heart,
And now held in my hands to reveal. 

You ask me to start from within myself
As I recite these vivid scenes.
I feel still, loneliness when you don’t notice
I’ve shared my sacred dreams.

Our Union Is On Quaky Ground

Our relationship is on shaky ground
We don't kiss each other like before
We don't say hello and goodbye anymore
We give each other the runaround
For the grace of God
We need to sit down to talk things over
We need the help of the Lord
Countless serious promises were made
That we must keep, cherish and honor
We must always sleep in the same bed
Until the end of time, until eternity
We must behave and act maturely
We must discuss everything thoroughly
We must smile and be nice to each other
We must live in peace and in harmony
And our love and passion must last forever.

break-up Senryus

Quick break-up Senryus.
Pick one to quickly, cut that old
relationship cord:

I'm sorry, say what?
I can't hear you (confused look)
- we’re breaking up.

You’re the guy that
every girl at our school wants
- it's their lucky day.

It's time that we took
our relationship to the
previous level.

I still cherish the
initial misconceptions
I had about you.
