Sometimes when things seem so bleak
Oblivion’s all that you seek
A small ray of hope
Allows you to cope
And at sunny skies gives you a peek.
It may not pan out, but at least
When anxiety’s slightly decreased
The knots in your gut
May unloosen somewhat
So despair and distress are released.
We all manage in different ways
So one’s rainbows are somebody’s grays
But the tiniest light
In the tunnel just might
Be enough to wipe out one’s malaise.
If you knew of all my unreachable dreams,
would you build me bridges to reach them?
Or would you unloosen the ties on either end?
Until I kiss the cold granite lips of reality and death.
You act like a foe and sometimes a friend.
Your flavor of love has a most peculiar blend.
At times mercurial hot or blue glacial cold.
I pray to reach that tepid glade of your beautiful soul.
My Faith has been jagged but I feel we walk hand in hand.
Over paths of black satin and spider webbed glass.
I know most of my dreams have been only mirages.
But a facet of love is kneading hazy dream into collage.
Seems our collective folly is God's darkest hobby.
Our dual visions and dreams rarely seem to mesh.
Paired petals navigating over fanged cataracts
'til they tumble into a cool black pool... called death.
We tell you this all from with in our cell.
Not a jail of iron, but from the depths of hell.
Today, we unloosen the knot that held our tongues.
We'll give new breathe to our starving lungs.
This secret is kept through the tongue of the dead.
A silent speech unheard and never said.
So pay attention kid this we won't say again.
The Light conquers all it subdued us in the end.
Come lay your head upon my breast
Good fortune bless your warm caress
Forlorn should I be
without your jocund company
Amongst my peers as we quaff ale and wonder
Only thoughts of you tear's our revelry asunder
You inspire every impulse in me to flow
Only with you, my love, my senses glow
Near almost we never would have met
If not for your unloosen pet
Retrieving same to your eager embrace
I lost my heart then to your pretty face
Blessed be the day at Whitsuntide
When I shall behold you as my bride.
Can anyone hear me?
Today has at least been good,
Standing by you is all I can do,
Talking to myself,
Has become so often,
These feelings have faded into nothing,
My heart hasn't found it's way,
I thought you knew,
something or maybe everything,
I thought you had felt the same,
Now It's put aside,
All I can do is have this image,
Of Friendship on my mind,
It's tough,
I have to be strong enough,
To make it through an hour,
A minute,
Give me a second to breath,
Your eye's Match your shirt,
So crazyily it's scareing me,
That sick feeling I feel it,
It's in my tummy,
Tied in one big knot,
I unloosen it,
But it balls up agian,
My Mouth it's so dry,
SomeONE HELP!!,
I need some water really Quick,
Or something will start seeping from my eyes,
I can't deal with this anymore,
I Can't even Give in,
My hearts taken over by its self,
Can SomeOne just help?
So to you,
My love:
In a moment
i
ponder,
with resolve, I call.
Without distraction I
move affectionately
to your life.
Resolutely,
to capture a morsel
the images that you portray.
I have a wander lust;
unquenchable I seem.
I am a reed; a stick
lying near the drink
of an oasis.
I long to move my roots
into sumptuous bounties
and soaking delights
of your wondrous waters.
I am so in need to let the dry branches of my soul be lavished in
the life force of
your being.
I dream
I chase.
Be the answer
the repose to my quest.
I have blown in from the desert.
The wind that carries me is hot.
Now, where I stay is in solitude
and threatens to mortalize my existence..
Though I meander in the mysticism of Gods and Angels
I feel a beckon to unloosen my wings
to fly.
So I stretch and flutter.
Poised on a ledge, I listen for the call.
"Please take me and I will be Yours."
I will unleash
the drive within me.
I will reciprocate your soothing lotion
with a fire that only you
deserve.
Do not neglect my burning
and I will not negate your
passions.
To you I call!
