Never Thought Id Say This...........

Love of my life
Apple of my eye
Queen of my heart
Had hopes that you'd be my wife
By my side
But it seems we must part
God forbidden
Truth hidden
With good intentions
But doesn't sooth my inflictions
Knowin I must move on with you missin
I'm torn between two extremes
It seems
I want you to be free
But the other wants you with me
How could it be?
That the security built must flee
Working long & hard on guard
Just trying to get you to trust me
But you & I remaining we
Is unrealistic
Though idealistic
Its so mystic
How we used to shoot fireworks
Now we're no longer ballistic
This isn't an emotional decision
Just logistics
You're heart is not mine
And I'm not the kind
To waste time
Trying to restore sight to a situation
That's blind
I find
Its much simpler to face facts
Then run from em
And have to retrace tracks
Rather than reign to win
I'll just take my ace back
The position that you hold
Noone can replace that
Nor will my love for you cease
But I know this is the right decision
Due to our condition & position
So i'm at ease
When I grant your release
I wish you nothin but peace

Goodbye my love

Hold Your Hand

I cant show my feelings,
but it hurts to keep them inside
running to hide
So I'll try my best to keep them alive.

This world is so cruel
so noone would understand,
how badly I want you
or just to hold your hand.

Its a stuggle and everyday a strife
I love you with all of my heart
and thank God your in my life

I just wish things were different
and you were mine
your the one and only
baby your a dime.

Were best friends now
and we made it so far
I need to reach your heart somehow
before I fall apart

Im not sure you would take it
or much understand
so I will keep on hiding
and wishing to hold your hand.

Deepest Fears

Deepest fears
River flooded deep in tears
feelings of regret won't disappear
Deepest fears
Watch them as they come right through
I can't dodge the feeling of losing you
Deepest fears
Dark clouds filled with strain
Walking through rain of struggle and pain
Deepest fears
Burning like a great abyss
My mind still sits on that tameless kiss
Deepest fears
No longer deep inside
Deeply I can't even see or try
Deepest fears
Love it when you're creeping near
Take away the tears so they'll disappear
Deepest fears...

Sunrises At Noon

12:30 a.m.: Wednesday 

I spoke in silent awe as I watched the sun breathe its final breath,
creating a beautiful silhouette which sat parallel to me.
She laid her gentle voice upon my ears,
as she sat comfortably beside my thoughts.
We spoke of generalized topics such as hobbies that turned to addictions.
Mine: The soft caress of a woman 
who could hold my heart with out fear of dropping it.
Hers: The sudden rush of learning of a person’s person 
through their vocal discussions. 

5:45: The night stood still; 
frozen, in the course of the mental love we were about to make..

Our discussions lasted for what seemed as endless hours, 
only to be realized as a brief moment in time.
She took me to heaven through her words
And soothed my aching heart with the memories I’ve most wanted:

Her and 
I, together 
again, yet
for the first time.

9:36: Dew drops formed a symbolic ballet for the dance we’d made 
through our verbal affections during the hours past..

Never had I known such a love as the presence peacefully presented before me
though it felt as if we had met in a lifetime earlier than the current.
Her angelic appeal aroused the blackest depths of my mind, 
grasping me beautifully as the night does the moon.
I reached for the night sky, piecing together our own constellation 
with hopes that it would draw the perfect idea for her
of us, everlasting and asked if it pleased her so.
She replied: ”So long I’ve waited to meet another soul as divine as yours.
I’ve been blessed to find you through the journey I’ve traveled for so long now.
Waiting, wanting…to find a perfect balance for my scale of love
and here, we sit.”

11:25: The horizon screamed of the apparent day break 
and our eventual departure coming ahead..

Our hearts palpitated vigorously at the evident knowledge,
soon enough, our words would run out and the conversation would cease.
I expressed my fear of lonliness and failure in love 
only to find a daunting but pleasing laughter glistening before me.
She uttered the sharpest reality that "in time, lonliness and failure 
coexist with love and success....in time, the world is our playground."
With time soon running out, the most important question I never thought 
to ask: what is your name?
She rose, gracefully as a true angel does 
and with the sweetest voice, she echoed

...Faith

As I woke from a slouching position from that same park bench as before
from what seemed to be the cruelest, 
Yet most beautiful dream 
Just as the sun rose
at Noon.

Can I Still Sing You a Lullaby(I Hope This Opens Your Eyes!)

"...and if that mocking bird don't sing... mamas gonna buy you a diamond ring"

Can I sing you a lullabye?
At night, when I can no longer fight the tears or pretend to be healed....
I sing to you
and beg you to forgive me?
Do you hear me?
Angel of my womb 
dagger to the heart 
I did it
I did it to myself
with no one to blame 
I contemplate suicide
and wear the shame 
on my sleeve
hoping someone will come up to me
and ask me how it feels to be a murderer
so I can look at them dead in the eyes and say
"I walk dead....
my soul committed suicide after that night"
baby... my baby... put up a fight.... betrayed by her creator...
all those pro choice persuaders
are killing the voice of tommorrow with their voices today 
i fell astray and following the clan 
I let them convince me that I had a plan and she just didnt fit in with it
innocence shattered with my choice
no chance to share her voice
I silenced it
silence.......
Empty...
body full of blood, and lost love, and a fields of children screaming begging 
pleading asking "wheres my mommy" "i want my mommy"
small clothing, childrens drawing... and me walking
living
breathing
free 
while my baby bleeds
bleeds for my mistake
for my hate 
the moment you were conceived did u smile and thank God to be in me? 
Did I confuse you by feeding you and rubbign my belly
Did you prepare for you death.... 
Did you of think of your mommy as less?
No words can convey how much I miss you...
I wish for one second I could kiss you
inhale your smell and exude it with my love
Im haunted... 
I heard you cry that night
Saw you die that night
Could you ever forgive me?
the pain lives within me...
everyday ...i promise you... you'll always be my first
I dont want you to cry.... baby please forgive my sins... your memory lives within..
Can I still please sing one lullabye every night to remind you thats it alright... 
mommy is still here... and shes sorry....

I Know

I travel through the mind of those
But, especially, that mind.
That head of desperate wonder is swaying from side to side like neighborhood, 
power-line shoes.
A heart breaking harder than elementary-school rules.
Excited depression is what my nostrils and chest sense. I see the blues.
A child that’s scared of transformation and modification.
Please, catch yourself before you fall.
Because I can see you too hanging , from that power-line.
Crying and dying.
That’s what I call head over heels. 
Hang-overs and unsatisfaction from love is exactly what she feels.
Dead emotions are revived over and over again until they are killed.
Don’t you just wish to be officially official and once, just once.
Become sealed.
Cuts, bruises, and seals are unable to become peeled and healed.
Because what used to protect is being dilapidated and drilled.
Take your guard off and let me heal.

You

I will hold you in my arms
And claim you as my body,
Shower you with light
And name you Soul.
My doing is your pleasure,
Your desire is my income,
To live for you is
Life’s privilege to me.

All will become 
Everything when everything
Becomes you
And nothing would become of me,
but us. 
We will exhibit new hope
And young love in 
It’s strongest form.
I will not put this to shame,
The addiction is screaming
Under my skin,
Feeding off of each touch
Prolonged in a memory.
The substance of your heart
Leaks upon my flesh,
Forcing me to work
So I can supply every beat.

Jealousy quarrels with me
As you sleep for I know
It’s your mind and not me
That allows peace to
Message your subconscious. 
Maybe your dreams are projecting
Visions of our kids, 
Dancing in their inheritance
Of fine life and genetic aspirations.
Though we are not of age
To build a house made of marriage
Or to give birth to happiness
By way of a white ceremony,
Time is still fresh, our mistakes
Will become prophetic teachers
As we conjoin until only one
Exist-opportunity. 

This affection is a song 
Carried by acoustic hands
Made of strings, patient time, and selfless
Thoughts.
It’s more than a ballad,
More than a rhythm,
It’s you.
At my weakest,
I’ll be your clout,
Battling every set back
So that you have no other
Option but to go forward.
My satisfaction will be
That of your own.
Just simply being you
Makes me want to be
More than what I am.

The Makings of You

The Makings of You

I am drawn to you
Like a moth to a flame
My conversation with you
Exceed something beyond game
Makes me want to say: ”She is the Truth”
Sexy mahogany complexion coupled with affection
Intelligence matched with elegance.
A combination of Heaven’s Design
Ahh.. she leaves wonder in my mind.

Although she appears soft-spoken
Her beauty and mind are thought-provoking
A blend rarer than a black pearl
In my mind, I got to make her my girl
Met a lot of women in the past, 
Something in her makes me want this to last
Beyond the intoxication of infatuation
When we touch
Yes, this is the feeling I’ve been missing so much

I am lost in a haze of mystique
A woman that is so sexy, yet so sweet
5’2, luscious lips and curvaceous hips
A beautiful smile
A sophiscated style
Has me on a natural high, why?
These are the Makings of You

Wat Were U Thinking?

My eyes were blinking every second I thought on you
Still sinking in a sea of what I thought was true
My heart shrinking at the answer that I heard from your lips
Still held my mind empty and my soul so stiff
What was I thinking when my eyes had first laid sight
And when my dreams all seemed to show you at night
What was I thinking when you said that your feelings had steady
Been guessed and oppressed by somebody already
Now was I really that blind not to see that your mind
Had wandered in a cloud where the sun doesn't shine
And your feelings for a guy who you hardly knew
Was more lust than love but you thought it was true
What were you thinking when he smiled with a face of denial
A face that showed how he would greatly defile
What were you thinking when you chose him over me
I gave you all I had but yet did you see
Besides look inside who was there from the start
I'm the guy still waiting to reside in your heart
I hope you understand don't let your feelings start shrinking
Even though it was a mistake tell me what were you thinking?

Remembering All That Is You

I can’t help but think of you as I see a couple 
holding hands, 
whispering sweet nothing to each 
other as they-- 
walk in one single stride 

Can’t help but think about when 
that couple was you and I, 
and those-- 
sweet nothings I whispered 
in your ear made you cry, cuz I asked 
if you would make me the happiest man 
alive, and be my wife 

I think about those nights, when our 
minds, bodies & souls became one, 
and you would whisper in my ear 
“Baby I love you” as you gave me all that was you 

Can’t help but remember those times, 
when your world seemed to be coming 
down around you 
and-- 
you would cry on my shoulder, asking 
me to hold you tight and never let go 
cuz you just didn’t know what to do 

I think back and remember the day 
when to you...I revealed my fears, 
that day you hugged me tight, 
kissed my softly on 
my forehead, both eyelids, and 
through eyes full of understanding 
tears you-- 
reassured me that our love would 
conquer all my fears 

I so miss those times when I would-- 
lay my head on your lap, 
as we sat watching TV and you 
would-- 
run your fingers 
through my hair, then without 
warning, you would mute 
the volume of the TV, 
tap me on the head so I’d look up at you, 
only to say I-- 
love you baby, 
then just turn the volume back up, 
and continue running your 
fingers through my hair 

I wish I could have back just one 
moment in time... 
...one more chance to 
bare witness to your shine... 
...One more smell of the fragrance of your scent, 
so that I may carry it with me wherever 
I go... 

As I stand here with tears in my eyes, 
placing, 
these flowers on your hollowed 
ground, 
I can’t help but remember that 
day when you were taken from me, 
that day, 
when the smile that only you put on 
my face, 
was turned to a permanent frown
