Another weed sprouts in this summer garden
nothing but another hole to tighten around my starving body
Notched in the bedpost of my transgressions
I sit and await a call that never comes

I said before ” I love you”

But carefree and dumb, the words spat forth from a head not equipped with a thinking cap, but a rubber…
And my words filled you with sublime pearl beads and ran down your tender thighs before I went back home

Drunk on pleasure and under your influence I drove

I look back on those days and I admit I wish I never met you.
Digging through boxes of my youth I came across your photographs.
God… you were beautiful
You’re even more beautiful now I noticed as I watched you walk by. Hand in hand with your boyfriend or husband or whatever he is. I could still taste your perfume … roses…

You seem happy. Would you be so happy with me? I guess we’ll never know ….
I get up from my seat. Still as invisible as I felt back then… except when I was with you and watch you walk away

Still just as amazing. That perfect sway of your hips. Your illustrious mane still cascading down your back. And I smile while choking back a tear at what I could’ve had

You pause, and turn around… scanning the crowd. Our eyes lock for a minute, but there’s no recognition. That fire has long since expired …

Turning, you kiss him and walk through the glass doors

And out of my life

Again …

I went through the motions in the beginning,
Tried to make sure you were real.
I’ve grown to fear because of the others,
But after a year I deem you ideal.

Filled with more passion than lust I was grinning.
Everything I’ve ever wanted, trusting and faithful, he’ll
Be the one, I know it. We’ll be nothing but great lovers!
Yet a year of ups and downs has unwillingly cast me into a contract under the signet seal

Of some great king. Together forever, and spinning
Into the perilous depths of scolding molten in a crucible of steel.
Honey I’m not happy anymore, you won’t give me what I need most, drummers
Will never march to our glorious bedroom, because there is NO appeal.

In all of our dismissing
The problem is here; more obvious and more genteel
Than ever. On this year of anniversary our love punctures
Our hearts, and the colors of our memories fall with nothing less than a wretched squeal.

The dark is nowhere near
Because you protect me with a spear
I will never go back
Unless I begin to slack
I love you with all my heart
And there will never be a day we part
We begin each day waiting
And end it doing the same thing
It is hard I know
But we can make it without a show
I will do what I can to keep you
But only if you do to
~ILOVEYOU Princess~

When I speak with you
It’s usually all a lie
My feelings for you
Are ones that I don’t want to have.
When I met you
I liked you.
When I got to know you
We became best friends.
Now I love you
And the truth is,
That kinda makes me a terrible person.

Listen to the wind as it howls and blows
Some where someone sits and waits
For the delivery of ” Another love song ”
That’s not just about some lover who’s
Been scoured or beaten, then sat aside.
But rather of a lover longing to be held

Safely in tranquility, known for its warmth
Around and between the arms of another
Whose heart has been, rocked and forever
Locked up tightly and lightly wound around
Some wordless and formless kind of great love.

One of which cannot ever be done justice
By a few rhyme-less nouns or scattered lines
For I must dig deep, where my loving thoughts
Have slept and have silently wept, every day,
Of nearly every second that had loudly ticked

And sometimes, I thought time stood still too
Waiting out the darkness, lurking in every corner
Love baited me in, as I sat, stooped and stood-up
Forever trying to outrun and out-wit this thing
Known of and by so many others, before and after me

That is and was the trickling, heard eternally within
Also, oddly known as ” True loves Calling Card. ”
It has always been left unsaid, for so long because…

No-One is supposed to know, when True Love
Comes hearing, knocking there, to enter the other:
True Loves..other Ticking half, looking deeply inside

At the joining of two soul mates who are trickling with
Loves Ebb And Flow, for it has merged inside two Hearts
No longer in despair, over yet another long lost love.
Where nothing’s just so, nor very ” Fair In Love And War!

For if you listen to the wind, as it howls and blows
Some where, someone sits, and sings while waiting,
For the delivery of yet another over due ” love song ”
That’s not just about someone’s lost love nor past lover,
But about Lovers who’ll linger along, waiting for it’s time.
