Refused, Unpursued - Poem
I fell quickly
You fell silentI grew angry
You grew quietI was as a child - immature, sincere
While you were polite, tactful, yet clearSweet sentiments
Sad circumstance
You were elegance
I - unrequited romanceYour refusal softly spoken, gentle, eloquent
Your reasoning sound; profound, and reverentI despised how much it made me want you more
Every phrase you spoke struck to innermost coreYour delicacy another beauty I could not attain
My severe and graceless tongue knew not refrainYet not a single blow could bring you down
Every spoken word you heard;
Yet were deaf to the soundForgiven without the means of an apology
A look you gave me reve...

Warmth tranquil tickling tip toes
Sweetest and unbridled dear delightGoofy garbling giggles
Squeals of pleasure piercing peaceful air
A gasp; eyes awide and full of wonder
A brief joyous laugh; surprise; and staresEvery new discovery met with such fascination
Grand adventures found in the smallest things
Distending deep depths of young imagination
And elation profound within and out; it brings

Missing and Wishing - Poem
I long to hear your voice
The warmth in heart when soft hands touch
I never had to make a choice
Finding that I just loved you so muchYour presence fades, but recollections linger;
In the heat you always were my shade
I remember when you'd catch me playing with my ring finger
And smile when I blushed and looked awayI wish I understood just why you left
So that I wouldn't blame myself
I wish I knew how I'd been blessed
So I'd have no reason to feel guiltMy heart was so full
But without you it is empty
Oh you made each day so beautifulI am no longer whole without you here beside me
Oh how much I wish you were still here

Unworthy and Ashamed - Poem
Your eyes that look to me
Are filled with sympathy
Oh how I wish you'd turn away...For the person you now see
Truly deserves this misery
This is the price that I must pay...My betrayal was unforgivable
No not one choice I made can be condoned
But to someone as good as you it must be inconceivable
That I am simply reaping the seeds I have sownDo not bestow your comforting words
They are ones I have no right to hear
Their sweetness is but a two edged sword;
Inspiring undeserved hope, and guilt;
For my actions toward one so dearYou say I was confused
But I knew exactly what was what
'Mistakes are made by others too'
But if you think they comp...

Come Back to Me - Song Lyrics
I try to gather your traces
Into a coherent thought
To explain how this life you embraced is slowly falling apartMy soul had been empty
And I had felt so alone...
Why did you ever come to me if you were only going to be gone?For so long time had merely passed me by
And without any reason; I slowly grew dissatisfied
In a world without color, so tasteless, darkened and cold...
Your vibrancy, sweetness...
Your precious light and your warmth;
They filled me up, and ... they brought me such joy
I'd finally had enough, and ... I never knew how soon all'd be destroyedTell me, just why did your brilliance have to fade so fast?
I thought I knew e...

Gracefully Given - Poem
Memories resurfacing in my mind
I tell myself I've moved forward
And yet it seems I've left my heart behind
And all my emotions are in disorderChaos reins within my soul
I keep repeating visions to ascertain flaws
But it seems that you played a truly perfect role
Always telling me I wasn't the villain when I wasI was selfish and unthinking
I was cruel and cold, unkind...
Time passed by without my blinking
You finally woke up and then left me behindAnd no the irony's not lost on me
That the good person you imagined you saw
Although but somebody I have never been
They are someone who is slowly but surely coming out nowYou awoke my slumbering...

A Heart Held Back - Poem
Stiller than a statue
Your breath is stole away
For the eyes that are looking at you
Speak of things mere words cannot conveyA peaceless poignant longing
And a most restless reckless heart
A soul who'd do almost anything
To ever be right where you areAnd though the mind may be set; decided
That this body bound must not pursue
Nevertheless the flame you've ignited
Shall only ever burn this bright... for you

Colorful Candy - Poem
Like mango tang
Such a refreshingly relieving sweetness
My taste buds sang
Upon first tasting such uniquenessYour lips are as soft as cotton candy
And your cheeks as pink as the same
When I am with you; I'm just as happy can be
Your love is the match that ignites my flameThe subject of all my adoration
The most fragrant flower; held in my heart
When I am broken I find restoration
Enfolded within your loving armsThere is no feeling that is quite as beautiful
No comfort more real that a mortal can bestow
Than that devotion that is ever wonderful
Between you and I; that only we knowYour words are those that uplift my downcast spirit
Your gaze...

Imaginary Journeys - Poem
Pretentiousness
Sincerity
Emptiness
And reverieEndlessly
Holding onto me
In the darkest night
My sweet reprieveA journey taken
Without a step
Imagination
Abstract conceptAn aimless wander
Tasting peace and thrill
Through time I travel
Yet all the while... am still

Changed Ways - Poem
Dead to my old ways
But so alive in the new
My friends say I've changed too much
But hey, what else can I do?At last I saw myself for who I was
And realized all I was not but could be
How could I just go on as if I'd never noticed the flaws?
Just pretend I was blind; when really it was the very first time I could seeThey say we used to laugh together
And that now I'm too uptight
All I remember was how we hurt others
And then acted like it was alrightI remember thinking that being tough meant to act mightily, without thought to consequence
But now I see true strength is measured, in how you use it toward the innocent
I used to think it wa...
