Daniel Ashcraft Poem
I think it was your eyes, they are to me,
So beautiful, serene, a perfect dream.
Wound up, flustered, lost, amazed and alive.
More so than anyone could imagine to be.
With your skin of copper, that tastes so sweet,
Along you hips, for your sweet ecstasy.
Blinded by my own hidden reveries,
What it is that gets me, I still can't see.
I know you've been hurt, I hear your plea,
Open your heart and give me the key.
I don't know what they say or do or see,
But I promise, they don't get you like me.
See, sometimes your body makes me wonder,
About how perfect you feel against me...

Daniel Ashcraft Poem
I remember the loathing looks you gave,
Lashing out like i misbehaved,
I can still taste your fist as i stood brave,
How could you be so malevolent, so depraved,
I did nothing but love you, as your hate you engraved,
All over my face, In one crashing wave,
You said you loved me, but your actions misgave,
I wanted to leave and tried to stay strong but caved,
I opened the door for your return, this unsightly road I alone paved,
Now i sit alone staring at you, hopelessly enslaved.
It only happened once, that fluttering,
I saw the eminence of your beauty, so enticing,
I read the words on your lips, as my own were quivering,
They touched, I froze, You moved forward embracing me,
I realize now that it was always you, to whom i was waiting,
We never exchanged words, and yet now its only your love i am attaining,
We sit and talk, everything you say, to me, is exhilarating,
I couldn't imagine life without you, what i feel is never fading,
You saw through my own lack of character, abating,
When it came to you, it was well worth waiting.

Daniel Ashcraft Poem
Thinking back now my dreams are eerily reminiscent
Of every mistake I made in my decent.
Of every joke and priceless muse,
Every smile that she gave me, as her mind I perused.
I hate summer, it never gave me hope or want,
‘Till she came in, giving me memories that still haunt.
The sight was so familiar, an air of innate grace,
The mix of unrefined Circean beauty, painted so perfectly on her face.
Oh, Wanton lust, adoration unbound,
Betraying my every move, I could never gain ground.
It happened, we happened, the unceasing desire was filled,
But with a single mistaken word of betrayal, my fate was sealed.
Still I wish for it, to take back that un-kept promise,
To return to her, what she readily gave to me, a glimpse of solace.
What takes years of readiness, sometimes a lifetime to find,
I had for just one moment and then left it behind.
This reoccurring dream keeps telling me that I shall never find,
Not one moment of hearts peace, no more placation of mind.
Brokenness

Daniel Ashcraft Poem
Lovely is this day break, with a new dawns light hitting her face and my window sill.
Opious traits can be discerned, as i kiss her lips, carrying the sweetest taste of amaretto.
Very slowly i arise back into thought and nontheless delv
Excitedly into the depth of emotion only her love can achieve.
Lay your head down my rising angel,
You shouldnt revel, even if so beautifully.
Sleep tight my angel,
Sleep tight my lovely...

Daniel Ashcraft Poem
You know i tried to play it down,
I tried to say i wasn't into this,
But deep down inside,
My body was really feeling it...
You know i tried to keep it quite,
tried to make myself seem cool,
But you didnt keep your eyes off me,
damn i must've looked like a fool.
We danced and i held your body close to mine,
I could feel every breathe,
Every move,
And you could just as easily feel mine.
After that it was all a big blur,
we where together all the time,
We soon started going out,
I wanted you to be all mine.
Now it's 2 years down the road,
So perfectly together, our lives seem to fit,
As we both take our vows,
My heart is really feeling it...

Daniel Ashcraft Poem
So sweetly the faint smell appears, natures' perfume, her sweet aromatic embrace.
So moist is the air, that brushes my cheeks, like natures' caressing lips.
In all the world,
The winds turn cold,
As the nights get longer,
And the green leaves turn gold,
Nothing is more peaceful,
Than seeing the scene that nature molds,
It seems just for me,
But i shouldn't be so bold,
Everything time touches,
Eventually turns from young to old.

Daniel Ashcraft Poem
I slept one night alone in my bed,
Sifting through all the wound thoughts in my head.
I felt uneasy, un-restful at best,
then I slipped into a dream of her, at my hearts fervent request.
We lay on the shoreline entwined in remorse and regret,
of all the broken promises neither of us had seen kept.
We cried to each other and we proclaimed our continued love,
We plead to each others’ hearts, to our hate we should be free of.
My son he sat watching as we both reminisced,
about fond memories we both held onto, we both have missed.
To him it was strange; his memory at best placed
an uneasy asterisk next to our feelings of disdain.
But here we where together sweeping hate away,
I felt the love brimming from her yes, I felt love take hates place.
I felt it so much, that I awoke with tears welling from my eyes,
Every ounce of bitterness in my heart, I realize now was just a guise.
I still love her I’m sure.
There will be no other who can keep a vacant spot in my heart for their return.
No pain could ever give me reprieve from the loss of her in my life.
No love shall give me that fire, that I once held in my life.

Daniel Ashcraft Poem
The smile.
The eyes.
The heart.
...The soul.
The love.
It's changing the day from that deep sorrow filled plight,
To a Day with blue skies and not a cloud in sight,
She is like the sun but twice as bright.
It's changing my life and keeping me from drowning tonight.
It's keeping my heart still and away from my soul, away from the fight.
It feels like everything is ok. Everything is alright.

Daniel Ashcraft Poem
I cannot blame her, I let her lie.
I let her speak, I let her blame.
All of our problems, I let her sit them on me.
I was afraid, I was alone, I was scared,
I was losing the woman, With whom everything I shared.
All we had done, all we had said, all of our love,
was being thrown to the side, for some other mans lust.
I let her lie, and I blame myself.
I should’ve said no to all the feelings I shelved.
But she had my heart and I could not give in,
She had my heart, because I gave in.
I cannot blame her, I let her lie.

Daniel Ashcraft Poem
The day is still young
But it has been long.
All but the last breath of mornings fresh air
has left and gone.
The sun is sighing beneath the weight of work
yet still the world carries on.
Life moves forward never pausing for directions
leaving me behind like an old forgotten song.
All i wanted was her, to be mine, and mine hers,
but all i received, the feeling, was wrong.
Even in the end i can still smell the clinging scent of perfume
on her blouse, as she leaves me alone to face the oncoming dawn.
