The Truth

God, Your beautiful
and I hurt so bad, it's brutal

The way your hair flairs
like a flame in open air
even as you sit in your chair
at the front of the class

And when you move, I lose concentration
and despite my consternation, 
your perambulation draws my gaze,
and casts a haze that clouds my mind

Your body, perfect, imprinted in my memory
Its shape, its smell
but, I have to tell, on it alone, I do not dwell

Your voice, leaves me no choice

When you speak,
I am weak to do anything but listen
and when you sing, its as the sound of spring
and with it, I am simple as melting snow, running into a flowing creek

But these are only the surface

They are warm, pleasant waters, shallow and beautiful
Yet there is much more
Past these is you
the deep blue of the depth of your mind
in here are the true mysteries that keep me here

in truth, this is the core
the thing that keeps mere me
frozen in fear of pushing you away

I want to explore, 
to dive deep
to just be near
to really know you
and to know all of you

Every Day

Every day that I see your face 
Is another day in the race
That I don’t want eraced

From my mind
In which I find
The kind of bind 

That keeps me sane 
As I stand in the rain
And take the pain
That only the vain 

Can create
As they permeate 
Fate with their hate

Only you keep me true
When in view, i havn’t a clue what to do 
To live up to you

In this race, I keep the pace 
As I chase a trace of you

And me and what we could be
As we sit under a tree 
And relish life without destiny

Buried

Every day is a reminder
That I’ve taken off the blinders 
and now I see
what it means to be

to feel so free
yet so caught by this feeling
that I’ve fought without fleeing 

and to come to the conclusion 
that my delusion 
was to think that I’d ever be able
 to wipe the table 
and to move on

Without a second thought,
Or third or fourth, 
Because that’s what your worth

And if I were to unearth
All the feeling’s I’ve kept buried,
In this world so bloodied by lies 
And fill’d with sad goodbyes

Of which I want no part,
Because in my heart, 
I know

I know I want you to stay,
What I want you to say
And I want to lay to rest
All the rest of the possibilities.

Every day is a reminder
Of just how much kinder the world could be
To grant me the possibility 
To express the real me
