Short Atherton Poems

lush valleys buttress below
coarse mounds arch above...

Banana muffins
Set the oven to three fifty
Must add chocolate chips

Bitter in cold
Light can no longer be seen
I can not see your face
Not even can I think back to that place
Darkness prevails

All I've had is all I've given
I'm tired of you
I'm tired of livin'
One day I'll have it all
But right now I'm destined to fall
Your twisted mind
Sees right through mine
One day you will see me for who I am
The man I try to be
But until then
I will be right here
For you my dear
My sweet cohere

One last chance
One final glance

I want to show
That I am someone you'd like to know

So unique
To me please speak

Words from a tender lip
Can forever equip

Me with hope
No longer with fear I shall cope

Say to me I am all you need
So we can then proceed

I want to be the reason you smile
Girl, you are oh so nubile

Clear waters
Open up for me
In the palm of your hand

White sand shores
That forever will be adored
In the palm of your hand

Mysterious oceans
Open up our emotions
In the palm of your hand

Now run along with me
And forever we will be
Together and unbothered
Next to the sea
And I will be your man
Hold tight to my right hand

With you I have never felt so alive
Deeper into this relationship I would like to dive
I don't like to be alone
And I think you feel the same way

But I know that day
You got hurt
Please move on
That boy is long gone

Let us take this slow
It is the smart way to go
So this I will not let you know
My love for you is starting to grow

I think today would be a good day to let go
This affection and lust for you is just starting to grow
Delete all trace of you
E-Mail,number, text
All this has me so vexed

We hardly even know each other
But I had grown to like you
I want to give you it all
But right now I'll sit back and fall
Deeper in my heart these feelings confide
And forever they I shall hide

Gentle touch
Of her I think of much
Soft to the skin
I want to feel it again

Love blossoming
Repeating chorus I sing
A adjacent ring
In my ear
With her
I shalt not know of fear

Soft is her voice
But she has a choice
Him or me?
I shalt wait and see

Captivating eyes
See through all lies
Many a boys demise
Lies in those lustful eyes

I want the best
This is no test
For you I'd spend the rest
Of my days
You got me in a craze
I will try to please you in many ways
Whatever you want it's your choice
So speak up and tell me
I love to hear your voice
You make me move
You make me dance
So please give me a chance
I will give you everything you want
So quit your games and no longer taunt
Allie, you are all I want

A feeling of betrayal
To which no one would like to avail

To give out and never get back
To want more but more is what you lack

Turned down
With a permanent frown

Walk away
And never talk or say

Of how bad that made you feel
And how this hurt is unreal

This is rejection
Almost the opposite of affection
Leads you towards another direction
I hate the feeling of rejection

Empty at heart
Forever torn apart

Belonging to she
But she left me

Slammed is that door
She is no more

Left without a trace
I am left a disgrace

This was my fear come true
Now I am oh so blue

Sitting alone in this house
So quiet I would hear a mouse

Trapped inside this feeling
The house is slowly peeling

Crumbling down is all I know
Ever since she just let go
