Tranquility


 Tranquility,
It didn't sing
but his face was singing
a silent song
you knew
each note
because those eyes,
still; like molded marble
penetrate the depths
of your thoughts
where you gather
your love for his
song.
Tranquil.

Zipped Tight


I'm considering not speaking.
For it's always hurting you.
I say the wrong stuff
or I say not enough,
And I do not know what to do.

You'd be happier
And my speech shall be still.
I'll continue this way,
starting today,
until I fall deathly ill.

My sarcastic tone won't wound you,
And my replies of 'OK' won't be around.
'I'm sorry's diminished,
my voice is finished,
I'll no longer make a sound

Home Alone


Shoot.
Who'd have thought what I have not
because I'm caught in a knot in which my
brain is simply simple. Stumbling silly
on sancious syllables like a swanky
boy who's pants shan't fit his knees properly.
Properly?
Shoot, I knew it was you, you can't be too cool
to lose a game in which you can't be a loser.
Boozer, don't do drugs also dammit.
Cannit be cool to swig a juice box, I'd rather
not drink that concoction I caution myself over.
Grover, like Sesame Street.
Lets meet, after the after party, festive but snug in
a nest I digress and confess that that shirt was a mess
with my dress, can we try not to cry over it next time?
Shine.
Like a spoon.
Or the moon.
Or a white kid's ass for all I care.

You Know That


Please don't cry...I love you...
You know that.

I said you're nothing?
You know I didn't mean it.
I hit you? I called you a what?!
I'm a bastard?

You little bitch.
Come here.
NOW!

No...?
Okay...
Here I come.

Why are you crying?
Come here...let me hold you.
Why are you pulling away?
I said I was sorry.
I didn't mean it.
I love you.
I would never hurt you.

You know that.

Winter Warmth


Winter Warmth
Winter draws nearer,
but I want you closer.
Snow falls fast,
so let's fall slower.

Leaves let go,
but to you I cling.
As cold sucks life,
out of everything.

You breath life into me
and warmth grows everywhere.
You kiss me slowly,
the heat within me flares.

Our lips melt together as
snow blankets us white.
We're warm and melted
as day fades to night.

Winter can show us cold,
together we make heat.
Which keeps us warm and happy
as snow melts at our feet.

In your arms I smile,
you smile too.
So much affection as we say
“I love you”

You can kiss away the hurt,
wipe away the cold.
You affection run deeply
as it's my heart you hold.

Warmth is all I feel with you.
So don't eve leave me here.
I can't retain life and warmth without you.
Please just stay and pull me near.

Where?


Where am I?
Where are you?
We're here.
You're there.

Where are you?
Where are we?
You're there.
I'm here.

Where are we?
Go somewhere else.
I'm here.
I forgot.

Go somewhere else.
We're here.
I forgot.
Where am I?

Us Two


Girl, I see you walking down these halls
And baby you're turning heads.
your face when you smile – at me;
them other fools can drop dead.

Sexy, you kiss my shy lips
and suddenly I'm off in another world.
Honey, you hold me close and
I don't (ever) want another girl.

Baby, you go home for a night
and I stay up thinking of you.
I want you next to me,
with me,
I want it to be us two.

Boy, I see you standing there – Waiting.
My heart bounds and leaps.
I just want to laugh, kiss and love you,
All this love, baby, you can keep.

Your lips, so warm, attract me
and your smile is unfairly sexy.
I don't ever want to leave this...
You taste so sweet; my kind of candy.

Baby, you go home for a night
and I stay up thinking of you.
I want you next to me,
with me,
I want it to be us two.

Untitled


Can I really trust you won't do it again?
Especially since you hide so much from me.
Did you really expect me to remain your friend?
When you clearly thought I couldn't see.  

Until the World Ends


I've never fallen out of favor with you.
So till the world ends,
Just hold it against me.
I've been banging my head against the wall.

So till the world ends,
You're cooler than me.
I've been banging my head against the wall.
We all struggle with forward motion.

You're cooler than me,
With all the right moves.
We all struggle with forward motion,
If I had you.

With all the right moves,
Just hold it against me.
If I had you,
I've never fallen out of favor with you.

A Duet of the Lovers

(Draft.... Three?)

She –
With her black shimmering hair
and pale slender fingers –
cradles an exquisite violin.
Dark as midnight
and grasping the bow,
She
unfetters
a string of notes

They slid into the air
reaching out and promising comfort
Only wanting the listening minds
of the audience
Hypnotically
They gaze back at her
with blank eyes.
The notes f a d e
into silence

when she begins to play
a slow and sweet tune.

The wave delicately kissed the audience.
Snuggling in their ears and whispering affectionately.
Warm smiles populate their faces
And they listen closer.

She withheld a serene expression
as she played,
swaying and singing with her violin.
The newly captivated audience
followed with their enlightened ears and brightening eyes

He strode onto the stage.
His disarray of gold hair shadowing his closed eyes.
Gripping his violin and surly sawing.
Anguish
rising up from him
screaming.

His music lashed into the air.
Resonating deeply. Angrily.
Whipping to no avail.
His fingers flew with raw emotions
Bow strokes strong
clipped
and quick.
He leaned with his rage,
stomping and lunging,
shuddering with sick pleasure
at the empowerment of his
malicious legion of notes
that suppressed her sweet
melodious life
to oblivion.
The notes crashing
plowing into each other.
Catastrophe
Mayhem
The air charged with strong energy
striking and utterly shocking.

The watching eyes.
Jaws slack.
Ears assaulted.
Minds closing.
No protection
from such a feral musician.

He was playing with such negativity and rage
that it seemed she could do little
to quench it.
And they watched,
as he opened his eyes and found her.
For a short moment

he stopped.

Their eyes connected.

They held
and looked.
Gales of silence snuffed out any noise,
any rebounding notes
any thoughts.

The pale green pools of her eyes
mingling with stark blue.
Breaths in correlation with the other.
Her eyes watching his
with compassion
and determination.
And his bore into hers with unobtainable madness.


She spoke one word.
But with it was a plethora of good intent.
The single syllable blended with the silence
And reached his ears with timid fingers,

Please.

Their eyes held each other.
She swept up her violin
and began playing.

He didn't dare close his eyes.

He dared to listen.

The audience sat it awe.
Eyes lingering on him.
Ears lapping up her lyrical affections.
Watching
as he was stripped of his anger.
She eased away the pain.
Her notes
caressed his heart
and kissed his mind

He was in rapture.


(Draft Seven(final))


She cradles an exquisite,
dark as midnight , violin,
unfettering a string of notes.
They reach out into the emptiness,
shimmering, glorious and pure.
Alive with rhythm and purpose,
filling an empty space with beauteous melodies.

He strode onto the stage gripping his bow and surly sawing. Anguish rising up from him,
screaming his notes into the air.
Resonating deeply. Angrily. Cruelly loud and powerful. His fingers flew with raw emotions.
Bow strokes strong
clipped
and quick.

The notes crashed,
plowing into each other.
Catastrophe.
Mayhem.
The air charged with strong energy.
Striking and utterly shocking.


Their eyes connected.

The pale green pools of her eyes
mingling with stark blue,
watching with compassion
and determination.
His bore into hers with unobtainable madness.

Their eyes held each other.
She swept up her violin
and began playing.
Her lyrical affections caressing
his musical mind and heart,

He couldn't look away.


The Saints We Love


Golden fingers comb through tall trees like saints, the floor is it's pilgrims
Majestic flowers peer up to the golden hands – awaiting the caress; a loving
gesture of wonder. Earth wafts up (pines and soil, life and raw earth) and
kisses the gentle souls of any being. The Earth – alive and generous with
its ever eternal beauty. It's bestowed upon us pilgrims (which marvel at a
green draped surface) to look up to our saints with awed eyes and embrace
the kiss of heaven – hear their whispers sing.   

The First


I fear every smile
that spread across perfect lips
I dread the deep gray eyes
That imagine our first kiss

I shudder at each word
that stroke my rigid spine
Asking me lovingly to relax
but I keep my line.

I cringe at each tough
Those genuine fingers that play my keys
I seem to be an open chorus
sounding like an ocean's rolling off me.

I cry at every midnight
I'm fearing what can only be the worst
Never had such terror stuck me
In realizing this is my first

Yet before I fall asleep
That perfect face comes to me and asks,
“Why is it you fear my love?”
No, I fear that it will never last.  

Symbolism Poem


Your eyes shine like the sun.
Its path finding my garden.
My everything.

You're there and flowers bloom.
My plants, my life
grows.

Your touch creates new life.
So take my hand and let's walk.

Walk into the sky.
Into where we'll live.

Before we leave – pick me a flower.
And forever I'll be shining too.

Sun, My Fire, My Friend


The sun says hello to me
each morning
Says goodbye
each evening

I watch; I can't play with fire.  

Spring Cleaning


Dust off my old memories
polish up my new ones
I organize my thoughts
And keep tabs of my attitude
Sweep out my forgotten things

Swift through my friends
Keep ideas in order
New things'll go there

Rearrange my academics
Try to find what I forgot....

Secrets


I kept if as a dirty secret from you.
Lied – by saying nothing.
Keeping it to myself to torment me.
And although I spoke nothing
But the truth
And only the truth,
I said nothing and lied.
Lied, lied, lied.
Now my death has brought
smears on a perfect picture.
Yet no one knows the reasons.
Because inside, I kept it.
It's why I had to die.

Sea of Tears


She’s been treading water all these years,
Choking drowning.
Once, the inky blackness was blue.
Once, the cresting waves sat placidly.

The sun used to warm her waters,
But now, dark and cool.
The water presses against her.
No longer helping her to shore.

Opening her mouth she loudly cries.
A throat once strong from singing,
Dies from exhaustion.
She felt the sorrow leak into her lungs.
Terror struck she desperately tries.
But her legs are growing weak.

The water closed over the crown of her head,
The darkness reveals nothing.
Her hands grab for something that’s not there.
She sinks because she’s dead weight.

She sees nothing.
Not even a glint of sun.
Not even a flit of a fish.
Not even her own slow arms
Or floating hair.

The darkness holds her,
She’s no longer drowning.
She’s no longer there.  

Rudeness of Silence



IT'S LOUD
It's quiet
Rings in my ears
It's irritating
My mom likes it.

Remember That Time


Remember that time?
I called you mine.
Where every laugh rang.
And out eyes would shine.

Where every kiss would linger.
And with a brush of a finger,
We'd be so intertwined.
Remember that time?

I remember your hands...
And how they knew best.
Girl I'd fall again.
With every caress.

And how with every meet,
You'd lay against me.
How you'd kiss my cheek.
My heart tossed like the sea.

When can we quit remembering.
And get back to us.
Make new memories and moments.
You and me with no fuss.

I can kiss you again.
Wind my fingers in your hair.
Sit in your room.
With all memories we share.

I love you honey – I do.
Don't make me come get you.
Stop remembering – just come here.
Let me erase your fear.
