The Poems of

Tough Love

You look at me with trusting eyes
Not a hint of fear or trepidation in them
Certain that I will never hurt you
And you're right, I won't, I'd die first
But only you have this effect on me
Everyone else keeps their distance
Afraid even to cross my path
And rightfully so, my reputation is well earned
So how is it that you broke right through the barriers
And took possession of my heart
I don't know how you did it
But I will be eternally grateful that you did

Just For Fun

I didn't mean it
I was just playing
And I never saw
The trap that you layed
It was just for fun
Nothing serious
I didn't expect
It to come to this
But you played your hand
With much envied skill
And then you swiftly
Moved in for the kill
And before I knew
What happened to me
Yo'd stolen my heart
And I couldn't see
What you were doing
Til it was too late
I didn't fight it
There'd have been no use
And this is the place
It has brought us to
I have to admit
It was a surprise
To wind up in love
Because of my guise

Neverending

I watch as the waves roll in to the shore
Steady, constant, neverending
Never veering from their chosen path
Though perhaps they arrive with differing force
They are always there at their appointed time
Overcoming all forces that would impede
And steadfastly arriving at the shore
And as I watch the mighty ocean kiss its sandy lover
I think of you, and the strength of the love we share
There exists no force that could come between us
That could prevent us from reaching each other
For we are like tha ocean and the shore
Drawn irristibly, and eternally, to each other
