Come Back To Me

Can I want to be 
Oh so much like you
Maybe instead of who I am
Easily able to walk away
Beyond even giving a damn
Always ready to open or
Close any old door I choose
Kicking to the curb
Those I deem mere refuse
Of course then you wouldn't
Matter as much as now you do
Existing without you surely I'd be blue.

The A to Z of You and Me

Always it's you
Beneath my skin
Catching my breath
Detouring my mind
Even when I try to
Fight impulses I still
Give in to you
Happily because
I love you and not
Just your sexy smile
Keeps me entranced
Lord no! There's much
More about you!
Nonstop wit and
Overflowing charm
Power wielded over me
Quickly disarming 
Really any and all
Sense of personal
Trepidation my soul may
Undertake in a final
Valiant effort to try to
Weakly resist your
Xenial nurturing way
You still pull me in
Zapping my last bit of will

Memoirs of a Serial Killer

There's always a whisper of madness, 
playing in my brain as I struggle to get 
loose from it's refrain and the constant 
pounding me to comply makes me feel 
quite insane.

Disaster brewing behind blue eyes
bits of chaos that won't be denied. 
They tell me the choice is completely
mine but they don't see or feel how
I'm bound up inside.

Touch the people and watch them fall
knowing the horror to come,  the pull
to cause pain,  is the worse of all. I'm
the bad man says the song,  but they
don't really know bad, no, not all.

Footprints

The Moon lights the path in the sand 
where you walked. Water fills those footprints 
like sand filled cups. I could drink from those 
sole shaped sandy prints knowing you once 
stood and created those indents.

I watch the waves dance against your legs
as your smile stretches as wide is the beach
I try to pull you to me like a life raft
but your beauty is too out of reach.

The water is crisp and cool to touch
as it caresses every grain of sand.
Your skirt swirls as you dance among the waves,
it's clear that it's you the land craves.

By the light of the laptop

it only takes a crack of light
to write of her, my true delight

to recount the times she was near.
to paint a picture of her, my dear.

to pen poems about so rare a beauty 
seems more a privilege than a duty.

it only takes a crack of light
to write of her, my true delight

Go

Your eyes say go There's a void left in my heart Farewell my love

She left me

She left me
one fine spring day.
I didn't see it coming,
or rather her going away.

Winter came because
she left me.
My heart chapped from
the coldness of her exit.

I couldn't find her
to beg her back since
she left me
I remain a total wreck.

Time has passed but
I still cry in my bed that
has become a tomb in which
she left me.

Funeral

I felt a funeral, in my brain
Somber people gathered
All in black
So many tears
The TRUTH revealed
People DID Care!!
Shovels of dirt cover me 
It's raining soil on my casket.

Pathetic

Maybe I'm pathetic
as I heel by your door 
waiting for more
knowing there's not much 
of anything in store.

But I would wait for you 
forever and a day
I can't take a hint
I'm just not clever 
that way. 

If I was a millionaire
I buy you the moon
so it could 
shine up in the sky
Just for you.

But I don't have that much
I do the best I can do
I wish you would see
my love Is a gift
that I offer to you.

I wish you were a genie
because I have a wish.
I wish my love was
valuable to you.
like a priceless jewel
but I'm afraid 
I'm just a fool.

I love you more 
than I can express
and I know 
that at times I'm a mess
but when you talk to me 
I feel blessed.

So please 
never give up on me
as I pledge
my fealty to you.
If I lost you
I don't know what I do.

Crashing

Your sand, my waves
you're every grain 
hotter than one 
can possibly explain.
My water 
trickles to you ,
at first 
just to tease,
increasing 
in urgency to aid 
in your release.
Before too long
my waves 
crash against you,
covering the loin 
of your land,
caressing it in it's 
beautifully long span.
My wetness envelopes you as
I bury you in the splashes,
applying wet thudding lashes.
I pound your hot surface 
with all that is my waves
because in the end it's only 
you that I crave.
