Patrick Dacosta Poem
Crazy for you
You call me crazy but I'm crazy over you, I don't want to scare you so I can message you less, once a day if you want me too.
I'll send you flowers and presents not on your birthday valentine Christmas or anniversaries to prove I care about you, any day week or month because my heart wants you any and all time not when it's told its time to love.
Take that leap reach out and take hold, what do you have to lose? Take a chance with someone who's a man not a boy, I've been hurt before and turned my back but you came along and now I don't want to be alone.
No tears are promised just that I will wipe them not walk away, friendship and trust because I care for you as you know I do.
Love will take its time, a day week month or year, I'm in no hurry so don't be afraid we'll take it slowly for Rome and life was not built in a day.
So reach out one hand and I'll take it in mine, and together we'll become one friend one lover one heart woman and man.

Patrick Dacosta Poem
To feel the pain of a million tears pour from somewhere deep inside is that just
good for the soul?
To see the love in their eyes as they walk with someone else,
does that make life a pity game?
Never to have felt love is that the way to grow,
no tears wasted no tingle up the back when the phone rings.
Summer days replaced by the thunder of words that ends a dream?
Let them fall or hold in tight feel them on the horizon for to let go is to go insane.
Happy sounds or angry words a joy to feel as they call your name as you sleep at night,
You call a name hold a hand it’s just in your mind and they silently fall.

Patrick Dacosta Poem
My footsteps walk through the puddles of rain made by my tears
Shinning bright as stars in the night the sound they make as each fall and hit the ground,
Sends the owl’s hiding and the moon it’s light to hide.
Summer has never appeared winter time is the clothes I wear,
Snow all around is how I feel in this dark and lonely despair
Steps take me forward but this place I can never leave.
Tied to a rock of memories of my own making upon a land strewn with pain never ending,
Baggage never seen but bearing me down each day a corner seek to rest and hide.
This with a smile so no one knows inside I cry,
Why did we not fight instead of just parting like strangers in the night?

Patrick Dacosta Poem
I Care for You
With hair kissed red by the golden sun, eyes of blue, clear and sparkling like that of a fresh mountain stream, jewels glistening full of love and humour.
Lips soft and sweet of all the berries red black and succulent strawberries,
the memories of such lingers for days week's and years like the first taste of candy floss eaten as a child.
A body of the goddess Venus carved by the greatest of all the masters from years long ago, can still be felt in the cleft of closed arms longing to feel the warmth of that love again snuggled up safe and gentle .
Dreams caressed by thoughts of life longed for, to share a heart full of hope given freely to whisper in a gentle ear I care for you.

Patrick Dacosta Poem
If You Only Knew
If you only knew how the sound of your voice makes my spine tingle up and down, and wish you call just to excite my mind.
If you only knew how at break of dawn or late at night I fight the urges to call just to hear you say my name.
If you only knew how the touch of your hand or the smell of your perfume drives each cell in my body wild and sends to unknown heights.
If you only knew the ticking of the clock on the wall drives me out my mind, knowing soon you’ll be in my arms.
If you only knew each time you say goodbye time stands still till I gaze upon your countenance in all its glory once again.
If you only knew that seconds become hours and hours days, then one word from you and heaven is in my being from head to toe you alone control my soul.
If you only knew the thoughts I keep inside, the dream of life spent with you to gaze one more time as I slip into eternal bliss.
If you only knew I yearn for that first that last that one single kiss,
If you only knew I have just this one lonely wish.

Patrick Dacosta Poem
When I hear the song of a bird,
I hear you call my name.
When I see a flower bloom I see your smile,
And all the joy it brings to me.
When I see the light of a new day’s dawn,
I know I shall see you once again.
When the night has come I close my eyes,
And I’m safe in your arms.
I think of you and the rain goes away,
I dream of you and angels come to play.

Patrick Dacosta Poem
Lost and Empty
Cloudless black empty night you kissed my cheek and said good bye to me,
turned and walked away not seeing the rivers of tears deep within me.
It was you not me no solace of comfort under this blanket of despair,
tried my hardest was this the man I was brought up to be.
Massaged your feet and mind with gentle touches and deep conversation,
my ears yours to bend, both shoulders for you to cry upon.
Years spent together, few days apart was this the reason you said we had to end
and bring my dreams crashing to the ground like boulders down a mountainside.
Dreams I had made with eyes wide open, planned to be a dad better than the one I had.
A family of you and me children 2 or 3 nothing mattered as long as you were there, that’s all shattered like a glass into a thousand pieces.
A new born I am new life I have to find, without my better half in this world I now
wander.
Smile on my face no one knows the pain I hide, scared and afraid I stumble
through the streets my mind lost with empty arms seeking a new soul mate and
precious friend.

Patrick Dacosta Poem
Losing Myself
I love you I said it a secret kept; now it’s been cried from every low and high place.
Buy you flowers diamonds rubies and pearls, shower with all the love I freely give, but you hold me down and back with the distain of unrequited love.
Your eyes say come to me your arms hold on tight, but your actions keep me distant like planets in the darkness of space.
What’s this hold you have on my soul that won’t let go, I try but my feet won’t let me move.
A prisoner of you I bear these chains, bringing me down my respect floats away sinew by sinew I’m tearing apart.
Stronger than this, withstood many pain’s but this game is driving me insane.
Set me free my jailer love me or let me be, your friendship brings me tears bitter not sweet, no joy but endless sorrow.
Memories of you will I carry to the furthest places but I must leave like the leaf that falls from the trees, for this pain to find a cure in your shadow I must no longer stand.

Patrick Dacosta Poem
Set Me Free
Would I be missed if I took that step and crossed into the abyss, leave behind the broken promises and the words sent by others lips.
Leave behind this spinning globe in the darkness of space, the emptiness of a lonely soul and walk through the veil and ease the pain no pills will ever heal.
To be ensconced in that gentle embrace that I never feel in my slumber, would I be missed if I say take me and let me sleep just set my spirit free?

Patrick Dacosta Poem
Hello
I wanted to say a word from the moment I saw you, and when you said “Hi” I now never want to say good bye.
Eye’s so blue light and clear, like a stream running down an alpine mountain side they warm me deep down inside.
Hear the song of your voice when you’re far away, yet dance in my soul when you stand by my side, it’s a mystery that I feel this way and no secret to me I never want it to end.
The best things in life come in small packages the song once said, and you’re the best in any life. Dark soft hair that glistens like jewels in the noon day sun happy days show and brighten any room with just one smile.
I don’t want to scare but just share and live the hope that now I can say HELLO,
We will grow as friends and across a table a drink or two we will share.
