Only a fool
Only a fool would believe in a dream
As she comes to him upon silver streams
Only a fool sees such beauty
as he sings her a song because he feels it's his duty
Only a fool is often blind not to see her smile is selectively kind
Only a fool creates an image of his beloved in his mind
Only a fool is stupid enough to believe in such beautiful eyes
Yet cannot discern between truth and lies
Only a fool often deceives himself when he is only seeing the binder of the book upon a shelf
Only a fool accepts surface knowledge without delving deeper to the heart
often by doing so he is finished before he even starts
Only a fool hears his own song and nobody is listening anymore because they heard his same old story for too long
Only a fool refuses to heed to the wisdom blowing in the summer breeze
For he is too busy crying and whining for his beloved to appease
Only a fool is too stupid to see his beloved never left him out in the cold to freeze
Yet, he left her in tears to chase other foolish dreams
Only a fool indeed long after it's too late he has sealed his fate
There are no more chances to fix what is broken all the fool has left is a token
Only a fool never seems to learn no matter how smart he thinks he is
Love is like sand that pours out of a sieve
It rains its beauty for a moment like water to help the fool live
When its all gone there is no more to give.
As she comes to him upon silver streams

confusing
Anger
Depression
What’s In your mind
I need to know
Get out of mine
Do you feel the same
Hope so, don’t think so
Smiling and laughing on face book
Why so much to me
Why so one sided
The age the stature
The looks
The body
My performance
Phantom phone and text
In my mind it excites
Back to reality
Gone
Never coming back
Phone deadly silent
I need
Wait for days
I don’t need
I’m still waiting
Please come back
Where are you
My reflection
No end in sight

About this poem:
feeling this way, today. Forever.
the wild swan of blackrock
down by the cold sea there lives a wild swan
who floats high on the harbour till all tides are gone
all alone in this world she sails by her leave
and the heart of this viewer forever she'll thieve
as dawn gathers shadows about its own hand
the white swan sings melodies broken in sand
and if you do hear her for haunted you'll be
as your mind floats like rivers down to the sea
the heart of a woman in the guise of a bird
floating on old dreams that outgrew the world
and every summer she's there and she's past
to places where light and love seldom do last
some say the wild swan was once but a pair
so split by some bullets that flew through the air
and around those same bullets was a terrible lie
that stole all the beauty from out of the sky
who floats high on the harbour till all tides are gone
all alone in this world she sails by her leave
and the heart of this viewer forever she'll thieve
as dawn gathers shadows about its own hand
the white swan sings melodies broken in sand
and if you do hear her for haunted you'll be
as your mind floats like rivers down to the sea
the heart of a woman in the guise of a bird
floating on old dreams that outgrew the world
and every summer she's there and she's past
to places where light and love seldom do last
some say the wild swan was once but a pair
so split by some bullets that flew through the air
and around those same bullets was a terrible lie
that stole all the beauty from out of the sky

online today!A Heart Shaped Stone
Here I am just as you found me
A stone shaped like a heart will be
Once where you stumbled upon
Unlike you I will always be here
Forever my dear I am near
Because I am just a stone
It was such a pure delight
When you held me so tight
In your grasp I became love
After all the leaves turn gold
When at last we became old
I was left just as you found me
A stone shaped like a heart will be
Once where you stumbled upon
Unlike you I will always be here
Forever my dear I am near
Because I am just a stone
It was such a pure delight
When you held me so tight
In your grasp I became love
After all the leaves turn gold
When at last we became old
I was left just as you found me

About this poem:
We are not made immortal and maybe neither is a stone.....unless it is a beautiful gemstone......and it would surely outlive us.......and still be held tight, adored, and loved by whoever treasures it.
Distance
Can't wait 'til night,
To hold you tight.
Dreaming of you,
Seems like no clue.
But everyday,
I'm making way.
I hope you feel it deep,
When you go to sleep.
In distance,
Like no assurance.
But still falling,
Cares and keep believing.
That's no ordinary love.
To hold you tight.
Dreaming of you,
Seems like no clue.
But everyday,
I'm making way.
I hope you feel it deep,
When you go to sleep.
In distance,
Like no assurance.
But still falling,
Cares and keep believing.
That's no ordinary love.

About this poem:
Dreamin' for a no ordinary love.
Alone
We laughed and cried as we might
Showing just how much we care
We held each other oh so tight
Until we’d cried the last tear
You often asked the reason
Why it’s time for me to leave
To set you free for your return
To your friends of course my dear.
I couldn’t bear to see the pain
I couldn’t tear your heart again
When the time for you to say
That it was time to go away.
I gave the bird the choice to fly
To spread your wings and soar on high
Without remorse or regret
Because I chose to let you fly.
I watched as you did fly away
Watching as you soared up high
Wondering would you fly to me?
Or fly away to new beginnings
Though my dear you’ll find new love
And thoughts of me shall slowly fade
Forever I will watch the sky above
For my love for you will never fade.

About this poem:
This is about letting go when you know it is the right thing to do.Lost
I remember our first date
We met at winters end
We enjoyed a meal and talked till late
Like we were long lost friends
We met again another day
To race around the track so fast
And talked away another day
We told of secrets from our past
Days then weeks quickly passed
You opened doors long time locked
Showing me how to live at last
Releasing all the love I’d blocked
Quickly lovers we did become
Sharing laughter as love grew.
Helping us to overcome
Our burdens just as lovers do
Standing tall we stood our ground
Against all odds we did prevail
We helped each other to rebound
Always there we could not fail
Time goes by it doesn’t wait
Your friends embraced me too
They shared their love they didn’t wait
They filled my heart because of you
We grew our love that season well
You taught this fledgling how to fly
To spread my wings and break the spell
That bound my heart I knew not why.
I soared among the clouds up high
With broken spell by your side
When it was time to leave the sky
I landed gently by your side
Oh so quickly time moves on
We watched as Autumn came
Bringing changes with the dawn
We tried to keep our love the same
Life and love always changing
We didn’t know we were changing
Or that our love was ever changing
Keeping time with seasons changing
All our burdens weighed us down
Turn by turn we lost our way
We lost our footing, falling down
Until we could no longer stay
You yearned for home
I heard you say
I sought a place of my own
Ever searching for my way
That day arrived I left your side
It wasn’t long you left for home
I cried for days I must confide
I had to let you go back home
You flew away some time ago
I watched you stretch your wings and fly
I did wait for you, you couldn't know
Soon all I saw was grey sky
No longer by my side I often find you
Drifting on the pathways of my mind
Pausing just enough for me to view
Fond memories on rewind
You're always there on my mind
Just beyond my reach just looking back
Yet as I reach with arms entwined
The path dissolves it was an old track
Mistakes we make along the way
Make us who we are today
I hope we meet again someday
Perhaps by then I'll have found my way
We met at winters end
We enjoyed a meal and talked till late
Like we were long lost friends
We met again another day
To race around the track so fast
And talked away another day
We told of secrets from our past
Days then weeks quickly passed
You opened doors long time locked
Showing me how to live at last
Releasing all the love I’d blocked
Quickly lovers we did become
Sharing laughter as love grew.
Helping us to overcome
Our burdens just as lovers do
Standing tall we stood our ground
Against all odds we did prevail
We helped each other to rebound
Always there we could not fail
Time goes by it doesn’t wait

They shared their love they didn’t wait
They filled my heart because of you
We grew our love that season well

About this poem:
This was extremely difficult to write. I wrote this because I often think of my last girlfriend and how the relationship evolved and ended. I made a grave mistake ending the relationship, because I failed to communicate with her about how I felt. It is now too late.The Dreams
It’s time to lay my head upon the pillow
Fearful of the dreams that will follow
Haunting me of times long past
Of memories of youth and love that did not last
Floating on the web of ancient dreams
Riding threads of hope and love it seems
Until I come upon the place that holds
Memories and fears waiting to unfold
I see you searching in a patch of distant mist
For something lost or something missed
I turn my head to hide my tears
Falling, failing through past years
I hear a silent whisper searching for my ear
Why did you leave me all alone my dear
I feel a hand wipe the tears upon my face
And I remember your fond embrace
With my heart in pieces I held you tight
I had to go I told you true that dark night
And through your tears you spoke to me
Come and please make love with me
With our hearts aflame with passion and desire
The stars in the sky like a thousand fires
We shared our young love so sure
Our youthful love so fierce and pure
Sweating, burning with desire waking to face another day
Leaking tears another day
Reminding me of the dreams last night
My heart in pieces is this my plight
It’s time again to lay my head upon the pillow
Fearful of the dreams that will follow
Haunting me of times long past
With memories of youth and love that did not last
Fearful of the dreams that will follow
Haunting me of times long past
Of memories of youth and love that did not last
Floating on the web of ancient dreams
Riding threads of hope and love it seems
Until I come upon the place that holds
Memories and fears waiting to unfold
I see you searching in a patch of distant mist
For something lost or something missed
I turn my head to hide my tears
Falling, failing through past years
I hear a silent whisper searching for my ear
Why did you leave me all alone my dear
I feel a hand wipe the tears upon my face
And I remember your fond embrace
With my heart in pieces I held you tight
I had to go I told you true that dark night
And through your tears you spoke to me
Come and please make love with me
With our hearts aflame with passion and desire
The stars in the sky like a thousand fires
We shared our young love so sure
Our youthful love so fierce and pure
Sweating, burning with desire waking to face another day
Leaking tears another day
Reminding me of the dreams last night
My heart in pieces is this my plight
It’s time again to lay my head upon the pillow
Fearful of the dreams that will follow
Haunting me of times long past
With memories of youth and love that did not last

About this poem:
Remembering my high school sweetheart.
Chains of the Heart
Within the pails of shattered dreams,
the lies of tongues, twisted and foul.
Beneath the tears of molten streams,
the jest of minds, riven with scowl.
Does it matter anymore?
Straight into my heart's descent,
far below a life's ascent.
What's left to adore?
Left alone to face despair,
to suffocate in abundant air.
What's not to abhor?
Through the years, I kissed your pain,
I faced your fears, I took the blame.
Your restless heart, no one can tame,
my freedom now begets your shame.
It doesn't matter anymore.
the lies of tongues, twisted and foul.
Beneath the tears of molten streams,
the jest of minds, riven with scowl.
Does it matter anymore?
Straight into my heart's descent,
far below a life's ascent.
What's left to adore?
Left alone to face despair,
to suffocate in abundant air.
What's not to abhor?
Through the years, I kissed your pain,
I faced your fears, I took the blame.
Your restless heart, no one can tame,
my freedom now begets your shame.
It doesn't matter anymore.

Post CommentThe Call
When you called the other day
I was glad to see your face
We talked about the coming day
As I wore my best brave face
Hiding the pain of my heart
Words blurring as you spoke
Knowing we’re so far apart
Mourning the love you did invoke
I told the story of my sorrow
You listened as you always do
Not telling you of my sorrow
I saw the hurt in your heart too
Mistakes I made that broke our hearts
Leaving not speaking of my fears
Without a word I did part
Holding back the flow of tears
Is it too late, the pain too great
To be the lovers we once were
Tearing down this wall of late
Built to guard us from where we were
Can I ever tell you true
The love that I have for you?
Or must I always say to you
Words to hide my love for you?
