Gideon Rice Poem
I’m anxious for my test tomorrow
Even though I tell myself in ten years I wont remember my grade
I still cant sleep
I take the pill
Wash it down and I find a sick comfort in knowing soon…soon I will find sleep
The elusive love of my life whose tempting ways creep up at all the wrong times
I don’t want you during class or on a date
I want you at night in my bed.
I want you to come more regularly than the fire alarms in Hamlin hall
I start to feel the release of my body as the pill courses through my veins filling my
capillary beds
I feel warm
I love it
I know i could roll over, but i dont care, I just lay here and it’ll all go away
The pain of the day wont even become a memory
The fear of tomorrow wont be a reality for a couple more hours
My friends say meditate or do yoga, but it doesn’t feel as good as this
Knowing that I wont remember a thing or hear an alarm
Knowing I wont care to wake up
It is through this I find joy and peace…
It is through this I find control

Gideon Rice Poem
In every passing moment I wish to be close to you, to hold you.
Loving you is easy when the skies are gray or when they’re blue.
Over the thunder and the rain I hear you sleep sweet dreams of a happy day.
Varying in cycles like the moon, may my love never be and let no one take it away.
Even if you cry I will be there for you to soothe and comfort you through your pain.
Your strength is in your concern for what is good and I’ve yet to see it wane.
Open is my heart to you with arms to follow.
Uniquely perfect is how I see you, please do not think my words as hollow
Every night I pray for you to sleep safe and sound
My wish is for your love but I meekly ask you keep me around.
If my words let you know how much I love you, they fail to compare to what I know in my heart
Let our love for each other grow anew each day with the experiences we gain when together or
apart.
Yearning for you is not enough to satisfy my greediness, I long to touch and feel your soft skin
But do not think of us in lust rather a love which makes sheepish boys grin
United with each other I always hope to be.
Running my fingers through your hair makes see
Nothing in this world compares used or new
Simply put…I love you

Gideon Rice Poem
Without you I feel cold and alone
Your touch, your kiss, your warmth, ignites me with passion and desire
A desire to keep the cold at bay with love
The scent of you on my pillow lingers too short a time
Marks from your kisses don’t stay on my skin long enough
Your head rests on my chest too short a time
No embrace conveys how deeply we care
Your sensual touch sparks a want
that is only soothed through the knowledge that love is present
Each day we spend growing closer together is a gift
I cherish this gift more than food or carnal lust
I would give anything to make this gift last forever
To never let our love tire and die
But our commitment to one another reassures this weak and weary soul,
Because even though we are apart I know our love lives on
And on

Gideon Rice Poem
Life is cruel and unjust with limitless possibilities for good
My life is blessed like a fawn born into a quiet wood
The fawn dances and runs through the woods but has the instinct to fear
My fear of the world is pondered over and over while looking in the mirror
War is good is keeps up safe and sound
Yet I would never shoot a man to the ground
Money should be prized above all things
This makes it hard to cherish how well my child sings
That fawn does not fear inadequacy or scorn
No it is only me who’s felt this since the day I was born
I volunteer and shake some hands
It’s a feeling that is grand
All the while some child dies as there was not a morsel to eat
After dinner my wife and I will turn up the heat
And I’ll wake up next to the woman I love above all
Not some stranger who I took without knowing at all
The days drag on an I continue to think in the mirror
In hopes that one day it will all be clearer
But does worrying matter or make a difference
No the only wrong worry or fear is indifference

Gideon Rice Poem
Your intense gaze penetrates into my heart seeing through my tattered tee
Those hazel eyes could crush a man and make him feel as insignificant as a grain of sand on the
beach
But the warmth and kindness behind them makes me melt and reminds me of the inner beauty
you share with me
The Kiss Waits
Your smile radiates and brightens the darkest corners of the room
Numbingly red luscious lips tease and beg to be kissed yet still scream of sophisticated elegance
The golden brown strands of silk that graze your face could be used to make a tapestry on a
loom
The Kiss Waits
I long to brush the hair out of your face and kiss you, but your eyes say WAIT
A burning passion in my heart desires to be one with you through the saving grace of a KISS
Your heart longs for the kiss to come, the moment is coming, it is never late
The KISS Waits
A KISS can be common, a KISS can be simple, a KISS can be insignificant, yet a KISS with you
is MAGICAL and INTESNSE a complex showing of feelings and affection
It could only last a moment but the effects linger FOREVER

Gideon Rice Poem
I look at the pictures of us laughing and smiling.
it seems so long ago we were happy and in love.
in love in each others arms.
yet those days have past, and i ask myself why do i give.
why am i still fighting for something that hurts me.
why am i still fighting for something that brings me more pain than joy.
I truly cant think it through.
how can she not want to give all of herself for us.
is it too hard to acknowledge that you wont remember your grade in psych 5 years from now?
i give and i give but i am wearing thin.
to thin to hide my true feelings, to thin to cover the facade that kept us together for far too long.
if i had my way i would numb myself to the pain you cause me and numb myself to the anguish
that is inevitable.
how do i ready myself for the end of something that has been a part of my life for so long.
who do i turn to when i neglected everyone else for you, and you let me down?
so i continue to give but i feel i have nothing left but sorrow.
