don’t do that to me
really hurts when you do that
be gentle with me
Feathers for bird museum,
None see 'em,
Home was sweet,
Strangelove repeat....
(12 word poem).
Such an immense love
disrupts my infinite thoughts
can't know what to do
tears flood in burst shells
darkness gloom desperation –
I need you my friend
Quite used to apathy and sadness squared to infinity, my inner compass arrests on sorrow and shattered stars. The world, my Self and the future seem to have disappeared into nothingness with void shouting echoes in a vacuum of feelings, while reason only tortures the devastation and confusion that are left inside what is no more and never seems to have been. Daggering thoughts destroy the non-entity of being, while loneliness succumbs to multi-facetted voices in my mind. With my soul depleted and on life support, even the sun throws more shadows than rays and the moon wanes for there is no wax left in my candle, which I have so often burnt at both ends. The surface is covered in sticky glue that mocks and teases a centre and I have become peripheral and extinct. But nevertheless, I value depression. It is an honest friend and a strange kind of love.
Walking main street in Autumnal sunshine
a donkey stops to look at a wolf.
After a mutual gaze they stroll together.
So far, not a word has been said between them.
Words are tricky, they are largely spaces
bookending secrets.
They will have to hide their true natures,
become lost in the running legs of the crowd.
However they must mate with words first,
but what words?
He prefers straw sounds full of drunken sunsets.
She is a predator, she wants fat
edible baby words full of juice.
His soul is a rusty windmill,
her soul it is an ever-spinning dolls head,
it is always hungry, always wanting.
They both commence to speak at once.
Passerby’s are startled at the sounds they make,
yet they smile knowing that young love
between different species will prevail,
even when words fail.
When I look into your eyes I no longer want the usual guys
You make me feel warm like I do right before a storm
I feel like pure gold as you hold me
When you kiss me I feel complete bliss
You give me such a soft touch, nothing too much
I could lay with you for days as we go into a haze
When will this secret love affair become aware to others
You don’t seem to express the same dream as I have
I know pain and you are driving my brain insane
When will you realize that I truly do care about you
You must think these actions are all lies
I will not accept this rejection, all I wanted was affection
When you go on with your day I hope you know what sorrow you have given me
You will be forgiven but I’ll make sure you feel what I have
I feel you have torn out my heart now that we are apart
strange how i adore you so much.
strange how i melt with your touch.
because even though
you don’t show
that you care,
somehow i
still love you blind.
purposely, i don’t see the signs
that you may be
just fooling me, but i’m
wanting all your heart as you play with mine.
strange how i miss you as soon as you leave.
strange how your presence is all that i need.
because even though
you know
I love you,
you’re still shy, and
i don’t know why.
purposely, i don’t see the signs.
that you may be
just fooling me, but i’m
wanting your all your heart as you play with mine.
strange how you're my every other thought.
strange how i’m daydreaming when you're not.
strange how my feelings haven’t changed.
strange since they’re known to rearrange.
others have had their chance, and missed it.
you’re the only one who has held my interest.
strange.
because even though
you don’t show
that you care,
somehow i
still love you blind.
purposely, i don’t see the signs
that you may be
just fooling me, but i’m
wanting all your heart as you play with mine.
Their strange love lacks fire they will never find inner peace
Raining tears out of eyes
Love that blind the pain of lies
While the sea of love never make man tasty
Songs of love brighten by the seed of misery.
Love is a silent key.
Poverty is indeed a curse
In an outrage we know too many lovers
And love is reach enough to bring justice
Out of its comfort zone
Love know no language
Love of is universal tool
It is with the eyes that we see
And is it with the heart that we feel.
It is with the ears that we hear
Fear can’t stand the sound of love
Mankind will forever sing it light
Love will never leave a gap in you!!
let me drink
from your clean waters
and i will not be
ever thirsty again
a strange love
is burning me alive
in my own desires
and all this pain my love
is raping my soul
again and again
What's a stronger love to be.
The one remembered more?
Or could it be the moments from
the lesser to the core.
Then what seems gifts to many for,
a hug; perhaps a kiss.
Mean just as much to others of
a love they could not miss.
Why do I love you?
When I look into your face
Your teeth are too big,
That nose is extremely long.
Yet all I want in a dog.

The crimson fluid drops,
Pumped from his wounded heart.
From His side, palms, and feet,
The blood crawls on the cross,
And clears the scars of sin;
And frees the heart from guilt.
On the cross, his arms open wide,
Inviting me for a warm hug.
But the face is marred, badly bruised;
His body sweats blood and water.
His hands ache, hanging from the wood;
And the wood firm, stuck to the earth.
His form is gone. Scarring!
Scared by the pain; the peace
On a face gripped by love.
Though love is harsh on him,
But saves me from the death.
Strange to love; or be loved!
Shame and pain he bears for the world
As he’s nailed for sin on the cross.
God, the father's pleased with his death,
For by it, his true love will blaze;
And the world might find in Jesus,
A friend that gave his all for all.
(John 15:13)

Teddy Bear - Strange Love
Our new neighbors have guns and drugs
They call me Teddy
Silly!....my toy is Teddy…. Teddy Bear
They must be crazy
I love my little bear
We’re happy happy happy skipping down the street!
One day the neighbor guy took my teddy
Threw him in the air
Like a taxidermist dream
I screamed, “Teddy can’t fly leave him be!”
The bad man zeroed in on Teddy
With an AK-47 in hand
And blew my friend away.
The tiny head flew off
Stuffing everywhere
Daddy!
Oh Daddy come quick!
I think my teddy is sick!
Strange Love
Love Is Such a Strange Thing
Not Understood by Many
It's a Giving and a Sharing
And it Doesn't Cost a Penny
You Can't Buy it with a Fortune
Or Demand That it Be Yours
You Can Search the World over
But It's Not for Sale in Stores
Some Say It's in the Heart
Others Say It's in the Mind
It Doesn't Matter What They Say
Love Is Hard to Find
When You Finally Find Love
There Is Something You Discover
You're Never Ever Quite the Same
You Just Don't Recover
The Shock Is Quite Electric
You're Not in Your Natural State
You Know You've Lost Your Mind
And Your Heart Has Learned its Fate
Love Is Such a Strange Thing
So Many Understand
But it Costs So Very Much
More than Money in Your Hand
When Your Heart Is Broken
There Is No Place to Heal
You Have No Where to Turn
And the Pain Is Much Too Real
So If You've Finally Found Love
Guard it with Great Care
It Was Freely Given
To Lose it Makes Life …..
Very Hard to Bear
