Premium MemberYou tell me I am too much, as if your heart were a forbidden place, locked away

You tell me “I am too much,” as if your heart were a forbidden place, locked away,
As if feeling deeply were a wound that refuses to close beneath the vast sky.
But, darling, I crave the storm in you, the tempest hidden within your secret chest,
That wild, unbridled surge of emotions no one else dares to

Premium MemberWhen You Tell Me That You Love Me

You came into my life
You didn't ask so much of me.
You're the one giving out
I'm the one taking in

You came into my life
Expecting nothing from me.
You're the one letting it out
I'm the one keeping it in

One day you left me
Without saying a word.
I looked for more of me
Without you on board

One night you came back
And

A MYSTIC’S VERSE-2, ”Questions”


How shall I see you in heaven?
Do you glow?
As the creator and temple of love,
Do you stand in unparalleled  radiance?
Is there a glimmering of your aura?
Does your knowing all truth
Put a sparkle in your eyes?
Do the flames of your purifying fire
Leap up?  And May we  hear
Their snapping sparks?
Does music

How Can You Tell Me

You don't see what I see
or what goes on in my head,
so how can you tell me
that the sky is not red?

You can't feel my passion,
eternal flame in my heart,
so how can you tell me
from my pain won't come art?

You can't listen to my soul
or the melodies it sings,
so how can you tell me
that I

Premium MemberCan You Tell Me

A father tends to his children's fears
with sweet kisses while drying their tears.
And his hug embraces them with love,
prizing each as a gift from above.

Can you tell me of a father's kiss?

A lover acknowledges your past pain,
supporting you as you smile again.
And desire brews an erotic scent
as sweat drops and sexy thoughts ferment.

Can you tell

You Tell Me You Love Me

Drunken slurs
Vacant stares
More broken glass
Wishing this was the past
Slammed against the wall
Bloody, broken, and bruised
                 Dying
Bloody, broken, and bruised
                 Dead

What You Tell Me

“What You Tell Me ”
© 2003 Michelle Lynn LeBlanc



You tell me that I’m beautiful
You tell me you love me so
You tell me I need to trust you
In order for me to grow

You tell me I need to open
You tell me I need people's love
You tell me that I’m precious
And that I'm one you're proud of

Yet,

You Tell Me

YOU TELL ME

I cannot be there
the way you 
say
cobalt expanse
littered with
bright
shock

a stranger here
with a pen
as sex fills
the air

humid  humility
many of my
lovers taken
down
kissed by crimson
roses that have
exalted without
crown

I have no lover
just a pen
yet I am told
by millions
I am adored
but…
no one calls


so I return
to you chasing
down an
endless
storm

you tell me
what direction
to go…

Why Didn'T You Tell Me

It was a very serious accident one which nearly killed her
But even as things went they would never be like they were
As in a coma she would lay being kept alive by a machine
By her side they would pray and toward her ear would lean

So many days would go past with not even one single

Can You Tell Me

Can you tell me why I feel so upset?
Can you tell me that you have no regrets?
Can you tell me why I’m emotional,
Can you tell me anything at all?
Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Why is the day taking so long?
I wanna know why I feel this way,
I wanna know why people cant change.

If You Tell Me You Love Me

If you tell me you love me...

Love me not for the color of my eyes,
But for the way they speak-

Love me not for my lips, not for my smile;
Love me for the all the things I smile for-

Love me not because I create art,
But because what I create is art to you-

Love me not because
