Lost words

I wrote of love all this time
Never knowing what it stood for
Or what it meant to someone else

Those words were flowery
Buttery, slippery
Rising with every tender breath
And falling as the sun goes down

I wrote of beauty, magnanimity
Of holding hands and second chances
And eyes that did most of the talking
Intoxicated from a simple glance;
Inebriated without touching a bottle

Yet today I search for lost words;
The silence screams at me
As the paper talks; implores me once more
To paint a fresco comprising myriad colors

But all I see is a blank canvas
Staring back at me, while
I think of love and the days gone by
Just left behind
To my poetic misery.

Perfect place

I think I know what it means
To lose my world within your eyes
No place to go and tuck away
A deep blue like the velvet skies

A moment ago; they were closed shut
Dreaming away in peaceful bliss
And playfully pouting your silken lips
Blowing forth an invisible kiss

You gently roll into my arms
A childish cuddle is exposed
I smell your lovely, fragrant skin
The scent playing with my humble nose

I watched you sleep; now I watch you wake
It’s the best part of my day
Your tender love; your gentle touch
Mean more to me than those three words can say

You hold my hand, and pat my face
Lay a soft kiss upon my cheek
So much is said without a word
No need for either one to speak

And as we lay here in each others arms
In a gentle, sweet and close embrace
I know for certain that we are in
This perfect world; my perfect place.

Wish you were here

(verse one)

Sitting alone here in my chair tonight
With a packet of pictures and some postcards left behind
The radio’s playing a sad song helps with the pain
These tears they fall like the pouring rain
What do I do to make all this hurt go away?

I’ve been a fool to ever let someone like you go
I now know what I’ve been missing, now that we are through
This packet of postcards reminds me just like it was yesterday
Every moment I spend without you seems to take my life away

I wish that you were here tonight
Much more than life itself,
I wish you were here.

(verse two)

Need all the help I’d get to make the most this time
I pull up a glass and pick up a bottle of cheap wine
These pictures of you remind me of times we had
Of everything that I now need so bad
Oh what I could give up to have you stay…

I’ve been a fool to ever let someone like you go
I know what I’ve been missing, now that we are through
This packet of postcards reminds me just like it was yesterday
Every moment I spend without you completely takes my life away

I wish that you were here tonight
Much more than life itself,
I wish you were here

I wish that you were here tonight…
Much more than life itself,
I wish you were here.

Why can’t I just get over you?

(verse one)
Not a single moment passes me by
I’m losing the plot of life
No reason for me to stay
Or wake up; to start my day

(chorus)
Can’t stop thinking about the things you do
And every thought just makes me blue
Please, why can’t I get over you?

(verse two)
I was just another regular guy
And then you came into my simple life
Your turned me right upside down
Bringing me to come around

(repeat chorus)

(verse three)
Every day and night I spend reminiscing
How our eyes would meet; we’d end up kissing
Now I want to run; just run away
Far away from this dark shade of gray

(repeat chorus)

Please, why can’t I get over you?
Why can’t I just get over you?

X marks the spot

A slight chill teases the air
Behind a veil of silken mist
Carelessly the trees they sway
Dancing in the velvet breeze
Each moment ticks away so fast
Faster than your eyes may blink
Gorgeous, sparkling in the fire’s glow. I wonder
How they look so beautiful, so pretty
In the meager light as I gaze upon them;
Just stare in amazement at your face,
Knowing not how I’d spend
Life without you. Not even another
Moment need pass by without you by my side.

Needless, my words are now as my heart is
Open, my eyes connected with yours. I try to
Place my index finger on your
Quivering lips; I know you
Realize what I’m about to do, as I
Show you this ring – I want to make you mine forever.

Trembling, I hold your hand
Unsure of how you would react as I ask
Very slowly, if you’d marry me; each syllable making me
Weak in the knees. I watch your lips closely, right there –
X marks the spot.

Yes! Validation at last as I see that beautiful smile
Zigzagging all over your face. One I love more than life itself.

I’m on cloud nine.

All my heart

I feel my heart beat for a while
Throbbing wildly in its bony cage
Vibrations resonating across my hands
Surely a sign that I’m still alive?

Well, it used to be more than that, before
My heart knew of pain and loneliness
But, t’was capable of emotions far superior
Fluttering with your every touch

You placed your palm upon my chest
And felt its rhythm; crests and troughs
For it would know safety once more
Only in the care of your arms

With every breath of air you’d take
My heart would quietly surge and swell
A gentle thump around my ribs
Your touch would make me feel this way

Alas! You went so far away…
Robbed it of its zeal to exist
It felt like dying everyday
For want of reason to stay alive

My heart’s the only thing I have
To let you know how much I care
And with every breath I’ll give my best
To love you with all my heart.

Incomplete

Why did you have to go so far away?
All I needed was one chance
A chance to make “us” work
A chance to do things differently

I can’t tell you how much I’ve been missing you
Not just your laugh
Not just your warmth
But you, every bit of you

It’s been days since we last talked,
Months since our first kiss,
Years since we’d first met.
I’d known then that you were the one,
And you took my heart away with your smile

I’d gotten used to seeing forever,
In that twinkle in your eyes
But now my past, my present, my future,
Don’t matter anymore

This distance is killing me, eating me alive, tearing me apart.
It feels like a noose tied around my neck, tightening day by day
I feel empty, like something’s missing
A part of me taken away

Without you, I’m just…

Incomplete.

Beautiful misery

Love is just wonderful, isn’t it? You feel like you can live without it, but your mind keeps coming to things you’re not ready to let go of.

(verse one)

When I close my eyes
I see a vision of your face
All my troubles are gone
Gone without a trace

And when I see your eyes
They’re all I want to see
That one moment in time
You set me free

You set me free…

(chorus)

Even though you’re so far away
I feel you are so near
Every time I think of you
Life becomes crystal clear

You’re that breath of fresh air
That’s keeping me alive
Without you I don’t think
I really can survive

So please accept my love
And put me out of my

Beautiful misery…

(verse two)

Your smile is like the sweet sunshine
It takes me high above
Your touch is all I want to feel
Something I can’t get enough of

I wish that you were close to me
Because it hurts so bad
Being away from you so long
You were everything I had

Everything I had…

(repeat chorus)

So please accept my love
And put me out of my

Beautiful misery.

The painting

A myriad of colors splashed
Across the canvas, took shape
Of a beautiful woman, waiting
In the twilight.

The moon shone brightly above her
Bathing her with a radiance
That transcended beyond the real
Into the divine.

She sat quietly
In her wedding gown
She seemed to be trapped
The painting, her prison

She implored an onlooker,
To gaze into her lovely eyes,
Timeless, unflinching,
Mesmerizing

Her lips so soft,
So breathtaking,
So delicate like the rose
She held between her hands

And as I looked on
She seemed to be beckoning to me;
Asking me to unravel the mystery
Locked up in her mind

A mind packed with myriad thoughts,
Countless aspirations,
A million dreams
Which I could see in her eyes

And as I held her gaze
I couldn’t break free,
For she was a prisoner no more,
I was.

Letting go

I’ve been holding on for so long
To what I felt was true love
It was only a mirage I was chasing
But never could get a hold of

My mind kept saying over and over
You were never mine to claim
Be cautious, watch out, you’ll hurt yourself
Love’s just a cruel game

But the heart wants what it wants, my dear
It seldom does think twice
It falls for everything that seems
So pretty and amazingly nice

I thought you were different, my heart believed
That you were the one for me
Your hand just felt right in mine
As if it were meant to be

That smile you smiled, were drops of heaven
That blessed my simple life
The dreams I dreamed, where you became
My beautiful, charming wife

And the time I spent with you, my love
Were moments spent in bliss!
I’d imagine the sweet taste of honey
In each and every kiss

But it takes two hands to make a clap
It was so plain to see
I was stupid, my love was blind
You never belonged to me

I now look back, smile and wonder
Why I’d held on so long
Or why I’d lived with the pain
When I wasn’t very strong

The answer’s plain, for all to see
It’s not the holding on I rue
For me the hardest part, was and is
Letting go of you.
