So Many Years
I waited oh so long for you
Since years ago in school
When you never knew the way I felt
When you were "o so cool"
But now I think back to those days
Of learning wrong from right
Of watching you across halls
And dreaming every night
Of what I'd say if given the chance
To tell you how I felt
But never once did I dream of these
Strange cards that we've been dealt
She was my friend, he was yours
That's the way it was meant to stay
But lonely nights and lonely arms
Make even the best couples stray
And in your arms I found something
That I never dreamed could be
A friend, a lover, and so much more
You mean the world to me
And if this breath should be my last
I hope you know it's true
That every tear that I have cried
Was well worth loving you
The Angel And The Devil
What tales have thee
For an angel fair
With eyes of blue
And auburn hair
Devil:
A tale of woe
Of pain and strife
Of loving you
And a newfound wife
Angel:
Then sing my prince
And all shall hear
Of a devil's love
And an angels fear
Devil:
As midnight approaches
I sit surrounded by blue
Under a black light
Thinking of you...
Angel:
Then sleep my prince
And dream of me
A newborn Phoenix
Flying free
Devil:
Such a heavenly creature
Such deceitful eyes
Only a fallen angel
With moonlight alibis
Angel:
Beautiful memories I have prince
Of dancing in the rain
Only fallen for you dear
I'd endure ten times the pain
Devil:
I made my choice you temptress
I chose her as my wife
I said goodbye my vixen
Let me live my own sweet life
Angel:
But miss me still my sweet prince
A heavenly curse I gave
Memories of me will haunt you
Till you're sleeping in your grave
Devil:
Then leave me now my sweet angel
Let memories haunt me tonight
Let the grave loom nearer my sweetheart
Take thee out of my sight
Angel:
But my sweet prince I'm not here
Only a memory true
Only the sweetest desire
Of wanting me with you
Devil:
And so end such a tragic tale
Of memories and lies
Of choices made by devils
And an angel with blue eyes
The Telephone
Come laugh with me
Sing me a song
Smile and pull me through
All the pain we share
Let our souls
Dance in the moonlight
As we wish we could
Miles apart
And yet so close
Just a breath away
Through the telephone
Already There
You try to hide from me
Try to keep me from coming in
But I am already there
You are scared to let me love you
Scared to love me in return
But I am already there
Secrets once hidden
Revealed in your laugh
But I am already there
I have always been there
You have always known
It scares you to not have that control
To want to give everything to me.
But I already have everything
I am already there
Rickle dee Fickle dee Mickle dee Moo
All is lost with thought of you
Eyes so brown I sink right in
Smile of angels, heavenly grins
Laughter so deep I drown in the sound
My heart once undone has now been bound
Rickle dee Fickle dee Mickle dee Fee
Why do you give your heart to me?
Pain and sorrow I've given you still
Your love for me you still seem to feel
Darkness in Heaven and lovers in Hell
Throw your pennies in the wishing well
Rickle dee Fickle dee Mickle dee Wee
Angels and demons all seem to flee
Our love in uncommon
Our love is unique
Our love will surpass all the wrath I can wreak
All because of your love for this freak
Unspoken Words
Fog creeps over the corners of my mind,
blurring reality with unconscious desire.
The vast barren expanses that once
were so green with certainty
turn icy white with confusion.
I reach out to you, grasping your hand,
but it is not you I hold.
As I gaze across the ocean
I see your face, our eyes meet
but they are not your eyes,
only those of a stranger.
Once known but now forgotten.
We danced in the moonlight,
the fire dripping from our skin
and as you held me close
you whispered
those unspoken words.
Forbidden
Spiders crawling frantically around
The pit of my stomach
Weaving webs of emotions
So mixed that even
The most experienced arachnologist
Would get lost.
My mind trying to decipher
The never ending strands
Feels as if it will explode
From the strains of confusion
Images of you flash through my mind
Snippets of conversations
Long past but not forgotten
And memories of words
Not yet spoken
Words I long
To hear.
Dreaming
Are you an angel?
Or a devil in disguise?
You come into my life
Every time I close my eyes
Your passion it ignites me
And your love it gives me peace
My dear I think I love you
But alas you’re just a dream
Secrets
Secrets once hidden
Have now been revealed
The truth had released me.
I hide no more,
And you do not hate me for it.
Even though it leaves us strained.
Our lives will never again
Be the same
But we will always love.
A Smile
It started with a simple smile
and a simple hello
then our friendship grew,
and the rest you know
Well I fell in love and
had three kids
and through it all
we stayed best of friends.
Then one day you moved away
and me and my family
we had to stay
I miss you a lot
they say time heals the pain
Maybe one day we'll meet up again
We had some good times
and some bad times too
but I just needed
to tell ya,
I'll never have another
friend like you.
Forever
Here's a poem
Just for you
cuz our love will be
forever true
I saw you that night
and my heart skipped a beat
Not in my wildest dreams
would I ever find someone so sweet
You kiss me you hug me
we laugh and we cry
I will always love you
even after goodbye
Drowning
Deep inside I feel a yearning.
A craving so bad that it's all consuming.
The need to have your arms around me
Drowns out all thought except yours.
To feel the heat of your body warm me.
The feel of your breath on my face,
The smell of you.
All these would comfort me.
And yet you are not here.
Cannot be here.
And I feel alone.
Even though I may be surrounded by many
For without you I am lost in this vast world
Like a boat adrift in a sea of sand.
Where are you my knight?
Do you feel alone too?
And then the phone rings.
It's your voice
I smile as you say
I just called to say
I love you
Breathless
The thoughts of your caress
leave a longing in my soul
so uncontrollable
that the mere sound of your name
leaves be breathless.
