Love Poems - Ta-Th
Taking a Risk - May 8, 2001
I told you
how I am afraid
to write a love letter to you
because it seems a recent trend
in my relationships
has been to write a love letter
or two
or several
to a girl
and she dumps me quite soon
afterward
but I'd not told them this fear
for I only just got it
so, maybe in telling you
the pattern will be broken
or a new one
however exciting
started
so
here goes
I think about you daily
I am always cautious to bring up a
new
subject
that may be too controversial
and then you surprise me when I do
by talking about it
till we both feel fine
I look forward more to seeing you
every
day
than I have before
I tell you everything that goes on
expecting you to not remember
every detail
but what a memory you have
the smallest details you can recall
from various anecdotes
your smile warms me
your voice soothes me
your arms take care of me
you may worry when I cry
that you need to do something
but you're staying there
is all I need
ever
I am always cautious to bring up a
new
subject
that may be too controversial
and then you surprise me when I do
by talking about it
till we both feel fine
I look forward more to seeing you
every
day
than I have before
I tell you everything that goes on
expecting you to not remember
every detail
but what a memory you have
the smallest details you can recall
from various anecdotes
your smile warms me
your voice soothes me
your arms take care of me
you may worry when I cry
that you need to do something
but you're staying there
is all I need
ever
and now that I've said this
I hope Fate is kind
and a previous pattern stays where it
belongs




These Two - March 16, 2003

This Boy
a hopeless romantic
longs for a woman to love
and love him
is emotional when an ex sends him a
"friendly"
birthday card
This Girl
chats with him almost
nightly
wonders how he's doing
and is sad when he is
not due to disappointment
but because
she can only offer words
who itches for a the next
visit
she can make
because the one she made
was perfect
and far too short
This Boy is bitter
will say things about girls
that shatter This Girl's
feelings
of course, she doesn't say anything
she hasn't even
revealed
that she has more than
"friendly" intentions
so she sits
wondering what to do
or say
and settles for writing
a piece
to This Boy
who doesn't like poetry




Thou Shalt Not - December 3, 2002
Too many unanswered questions
should I do this
or that?
should I reveal what's going on
or would that create
a different kind of tension
or would it create
an understanding?
should I move out
before he decides to?
that way I wouldn't
have to deal with these feelings
I read an article
in his magazine
that lists ways a woman shows
"she wants you"
to see how many I was exhibiting
and
to get pointers
there are so many reasons
why saying would be bad
and some others
very enticing
on why I should
and if I did
how would I say it?
do I be blunt about the
physical attraction
and what I dream about
and get off to
or do I mention these feelings
that I have now
I wish sometimes
humanity were predictable
for these kinds of decisions
and thoughts
wouldn't be so torturous




Tell Me This - December 5, 2002
The problem with my mother
asking
how much I like him
is that
being an honest woman
I'd have to
say




Temporary Comfort - January 20, 2003
So that dream
didn't
come true
which is good
I wouldn't want
to go through
that nightmare
again
waiting for your return
and meeting your family
instead
not being able to sit
taking the news
because I'm surrounded by you
I breathed an invisible sigh of
relief
when it didn't come true
does anyone
else
worry over you so much
or am I just being
a fool
I hope nobody's up there
laughing
I'd hate for this
situation
to be proof of God's
sadistic
nature




"The Day After One Hour-Long
Conversation on Yahoo!Pager" -
(December 4, 1998)
All we have is:
chatting together in
private
chat rooms
at chance times whilst on-line
telephone conversations with
little
"play fights" over who loves who
more
and
being interrupted by a
penny-pinching mother
short e-mails so that the other can
read
them in his or her allotted time
during our
busy
days
letters that we
barely
have time to write
barely
have time to express all we feel
towards
one
another
on a couple sheets of
stationary
and one week breaks from the
reality
of a "starving student"
using
money we really can't afford to
use
to be in each other's
arms
once again
this is my
everyday
pain

All of my friends are
hurting
so much
more
than I am
and, yet
I feel selfish for having my
own
emotions




Thoughts of Love - (December 3,
1996)
I dream of a
time
when I will
know
what it's like to be
loved
to know the
warmth
love
brings
to have someone's
arms
around me
to know that everything's gonna be
all
right
nothing's gonna
happen
I want to
know
how it
feels
to go through life
without
tears
I want to know
le joie de vivre
but I
don't
why
not?
What's wrong with
me?
Is it because I am
not
worthy
of
love
I've been beaten
up
others have used my brain as a
play-thing
I've been
disowned
I've been called
names
rumors
I've tried six times to
kill
myself
I've been
left
behind
friends are
dying
dropping
like
flies
I've been
kidnapped
twice
and with my
suicide
attempts
if I can't
love
myself
I
am
told
how
could
others
love
me?
And if that were
true
is there any point in my searching for
love?
please
someone
love
me
I
promise
I'll
love
you
back
please
someone
love
me
