How desperately he wished he understood her,The elusive lady who had stolen his heart,But every time he thought she was within his graspOnce more she seemed to vanish into the shadows,Leaving him to flounder in the darkness of doubt.There were many times when the flame of her presenceBurned so intensely it threatened to consume him;Days and nights when they rode on a wave of passion,Carrying him aloft on a tide of rapture...
OrdinaryVeryNot beautifulAt allSo what about herScares meInvadesMy inner calm?Disturbs my senseOf whatI amWho I thoughtMyself to beForced to faceAnd not avoidThe truth of what this means:If I outrivalOrdinaryYet itEclipses meThere is no wayI can competeHe loves her moreThan me.
Tell me truthfully how it came about,Explain to me where things went so astray,That joyful certainty should turn to doubt,Those bright flowers of love stained by decay.My aching heart is full of unnamed fears,Dreading to hear the unforgiving truth,Assure me that all will not end in tearsThat time itself will be unable to soothe.Speak words to prove my disquiet baseless,Merely unreal spectres sent to tormentBy the demons t...
The world revolves my angel, and once more The time is coming when the days grow short,When happy thoughts of summer flee away, And all around is desolate and bare. Come fly with me to some exotic shore, Where bathed in golden light, we two can sport,Dancing gaily on the strand all the day, And through the night mount high into the air. O cruel lady, tell me what I've done, What crime that you should treat me so unkind,Wh...
I know that you have said that everyone lies and that everyone tells little white lies, and I guess I am the same. My name. I’ve told you. That is true. I am who I say I am. I am yours as you’ve asked me to be. But I sit here, thinking of the little white lies and am struggling to find those that I have told you. I look around and see, what appears to be, no trace of the real me. But this I know for certain, I hide behind...
This is it. Months of texts and emails have culminated in a sixty-mile drive to meet my lover. Fantasy is about to become reality, and I’m scared out of my mind. Glancing in my rearview mirror, I see nothing but doubt staring back at me. My eyes appear startled, like a rabbit caught in the headlights. In truth, that’s how I feel. I’ve never done anything like this before. I’m not sure I’ve got it in me. An inseparable ble...
I tried to research sourcesI could find no proof I tried to seek out referencesI guess they all had moved I thought up some trick questionsThey did seem answered right And who says "lie detector test"As a date some night? I wish there were a sure-fire wayTo leach out the truth Instead of just believingWhen you say "I love you."
Pecking, peckingAt my brainShe has a smile so pretty - Tapping, tapping In my headI have to know: "who is she?"Searching, searching On the net -What is their connection?Scrolling, scrollingThrough the blogsTortured by the tension -Looking, lookingInstagramIs that his arm around her?Show me, show meFacebook friendsThe answer in a post there -Say it, say itPinterest pageWhat things is she planning?Help me, help meTwitter...
A frantic mind can hurt the calmest heart. Rancid thoughts will tear you apart. True or not, nothing is what it seems. Nothing makes sense in your insane dreams. Guilt and doubt fill every cranny and nook. A missed call, a forgotten text is all it took. What was love a few hours ago, Now causes you to question all that you know. Your wandering mind has you replaced by others. Another, than another, until you feel smothere...
He's outside in the backyardDeep in his own thoughtsWhen thunder claps overheadIn the present, no longer lost. He hears the rain comingWalking across the forest floorRunning to the house for safetyAs close as the backdoor. The storms strikes with voracityPelting the window and paneDeep within him the noiseRaises his internal pain. Sheets of rain continueTo claw at the window glassWhile inside him a larger stormReminders h...
It's going well, what could go wrong?One friend's going to the Bear's land, The evil there is growing strong. Freedom is drifting off like sand. My thoughts are losing in their questTo be as sharp as they once were.Words escape me, I'm not my best,My mind is now no longer sure. Getting a part in any playWas once a dream, a role I sought,But now that I am there todayMy brain wonders what I have wrought. Stories flow as I t...
Hi.. Doc Johnson in the house.. pull up a chair.. take a deep breath.. and listen.. I’m talking to you. You know who you are. Yeah, YOU! What the hell did you think would happen when you consistently plan your private quiet time so that you can log onto a chat site? Did you think you were safe hiding behind a keyboard? That your fears and unhappiness and emotions wouldn't be sitting there with you? That you would simply c...
Tidal flow Ebb and fall Like the beating of my heart From strong to faint In an eerie lance of muted light Jealousy rises up in my absence And I lose my nerve I teeter as solid foundation Crumbles under me once more And I doubt. I see the words, I see the fluttering hearts I witness with envy The batting of eyelashes and The smirking of smiles Directed at you And I have to wonder Can I truly believe? Space reaches out Ins...
‘It’s time’ I said ‘to write me another rhyme’ and nagging doubt set in and I thought( Stop rolling your eyes - I do that, sometimes) It’s been so long, the voices chiming to get out have stilled. Or are they merely muted? Or on holiday somewhere hot?(the bastards) While I work my ass off on this over populated island This creativity of mine comes and goes Slinking in and out of my consciousness, unfaithful as a cat (and...
Wondrous how sweetly divine Lips to kiss my pain away and the faint press of your chest against my own silences the sadness How "more than I deserve" than I ever thought I couldn't How easy now to fall again Another girl that is a friend Leave my heart again to mend But wait, for what? Nary a guess? Another stab at happiness To bring about a final end With no one left who I depend On to excite me, and invite me Out from i...
