Life of Poems

What I’d give to just wrap my arms around you, to just for a minute hold you and forget everything else. Feeling your heartbeat next to mine, closing my eyes knowing you are there. The smell of your hair taking me away from anything and everything, your essence filling me completely. I kiss you. The moon falls out of the sky. As thunder rolls and bolts of lightning strike above. I fall.

In the simplest of terms,
In each and every way,
Away from worries and concerns.
I’ll take your hand if I may.

I’m hooked at the end of your string.
Pulling back the corners of my mouth,
Back and forth like a broken swing.
Attracting me as north to south.

Pacing in my head driving me mad
The theiving felons screaming,
“I want you so bad!”
Thoughtful of shared dreaming.

I send out this wavelength,
As a declaration of my weakness.
To you that gives me strength,
To look past all my bleakness.

I want you.

Should I feel the color of your hair,
See your heartfelt cries,
Smell the fire in your glare,
Taste all your goodbyes?

Should I hold back my every urge,
Take back my every word,
Ask lightning not to surge;
Tie down the wings of every bird?

Should I look away when I see you,
Deny all these strange things I feel,
Paint the sky a midnight blue,
Close my lips and form a seal?

Should I hide behind this social wall,
As I watch myself grow weak,
Help the tyrant to stay tall?
And behind his cape ill peak.

Searching for my self through the crowd.

Cool face of the river
Asked me for a kiss.

I very dearly would like to fall in love with you.

Somethings are not what they appear
Somethings are hidden
Those things we fear

We fear what we don’t know
We fear all sudden change
We feel that we must go
Away from what we think as strange

Yet there is no need for fear
There is need for an embrace
There is no harm from just a tear
A single tear rolls down your face

Sadness in your eyes
Rolling down your cheek
From all the agony and lies
With which you hide, I seek

You hide behind your smile
Still I see the lies
These lies they are so vile
They make for cloudy eyes

Time passes ever so slowly
It almost seems to stop
I sit here so lone and lowly
Suddenly there is a drop

A sudden drop in atmosphere
As we leave this life
No longer living in fear
We move into the afterlife

“Sweet dreams are made of this”

For this, this is true bliss

I have seen the tree of life
She is loving, she is grand
Her thorns though soft cut like a knife
She blinds all those who take her hand

The tree of life she is astounding
Her leaves a peachy golden soft
Her fragrance spreads to her surroundings
She takes your life so much aloft

The tree of life she’s unforgiving
She doesn’t know just how to stop
She fears what lies beneath her top
A darkness not meant for the living

The tree of life does not need saving
She knows her leaves are falling
And for each I hear her calling
So lonely in her raving

I come alone to see her cry
Each tear leaving her dry
So I lay beside her in this cage
Watching the earth beneath us age

I have seen the tree of life

The tree of life looked right through me.

A beautiful mosaic in the room
A Da Vinci of epic proportions
Surrealistic sculptures can’t assume
What it was that caused these emotions

Stars shinning in the daylight
Waterfalls over a crescent moon
Hiding a brilliant scenic might
Such beauty  as to make a man swoon

It’s hard to simply have one glance
Muscles defying my every thought
“Look away” I seem to be entranced
Quick reflexes to keep from being caught

But it is inevitable  

Tides crashing against the shore
Trees fall from miles above the ground
Natural disaster strikes everyday more
Yet we do not hear a single sound

Many of us do not look too far
We believe the meaningless lies
Shallow entities of heartful war
Yet these are our own earthly ties

These are the stories we will tell
The pictures that we’ll keep
Maybe one day all will be swell
Maybe one day we won’t have to look so deep

Deep into the ocean
Blissful silence knocking at the door
Beating like a drum, rhythmic sound
All hope is not lost, there may be even more

More hope than before 

There is a box at the end of the hall
Not to long ago it was filled with wonder
You picked it up just to let it fall
Fall deep into an abyss

A young boy just lost his balloon
It is floating away so slowly
He sees it a little less as it reaches the moon
A balloon so nice, a balloon so lonely

Pain strikes a chamber
The pump begins to fail
These words what they entail
A sea of flames reduced to ember

Let’s jump into the sky
Hear soft whispers of a cloud
The moon reflects as we pass by
The ocean roars so loud

A silent scream is heard from miles away
We see the sun in the distance
It descends as we begin today
And with the moon we’ll share this dance

A dance of lonely hearts
A dance left for the wounded
A dance that tears apart
A dance we must commend
