This is all my most recent poetry. I added another page (My Poetry 2) for older poems that I just couldn't leave off of here...a third poetry page may have to be added soon though.
I wish that I
Could just wear my feelings
Upon my sleeve
So that You
Could see
The sensation
Burning up
Inside of Me.

I'm hiding it
And holding it
Wishing that a whisper
Might seep out
And show.

I'm searching
And looking
For a hint
Of the same
Something to tell me
That it's all ok.

Waiting for a sign
Telling Me
That You
Could be mine.

That magical wish
A mystical twist
A twinkle
A gleam
So soft
So serene
I saw It
I felt It
Deep down It hit
It stirred me up
Tossed me about
Turned me inside out.

Those eyes
That look
That smile
That smirk
I close my eyes
I can still feel it burn inside
It's taken over
I'm out of control
Don't stop now
Just let it go.

Who would have thought
That it could still be
Open Your arms
Come stay with me.

You scoff
You stare
As I watch you toss your hair
I've invaded Your world
"Who invited her?"
The question shows on your face.

The sense of not belonging
Resides all around me
I can't escape the glares
Two worlds colliding
Unable to mix
Like oil and water
All we do is sit.

Fear on your face
Confusion settles in
"Who invited her?"

I was told that I should call
And I said I'd do it tomorrow
So tomorrow came
And tomorrow went
But something came up
And I didn't find the time...

Then I remembered it was time to call
So I told myself that I'd do it later
And later came
But it was too late
You would be in bed
I'll just do it tomorrow...

A week did pass
And tomorrow came once again
And it was early
But My phone rang instead
And I heard to hurry
Cuz it wouldn't be long...

So I drove 80 down the highway
To get there by your side
To see you one last time
To let you know I was sorry
And tell you that I loved you
But instead it was time to say good-bye...

Cuz tomorrow passed
And later flew on by
And I just didn't make the time
To tell you that I missed you
To tell you that I loved you
So now I'm only left to say good-bye...

The darkness surrounds me
I'm brought to the memory of your touch
A gentle swipe of my side
A careful caress of my knee
Makes me fall into you
I can't stop myself
All my other muscles relax
Responding to this stimuli
Deeper
Deeper down I fall
Stopping only when your arms wrap around me
Letting me know that
You've got me.

I took the plunge
Jumped right in
Feet first
Arms open
Eyes closed
And landed on my heart...

thank you Nicole...

Falling Into You

Your eyes
Captivate Me
Hold my attention
Draw Me into You
I'm filled with emotion
Never experienced before

Your arms
Wrap around Me
Hold Me close
Make Me feel safe
Makes all my worries
Disappear

I'm falling into You
Every glance
Every touch
Every word
Every moment
I fall
Deeper
Deeper
Deeper down
Into you.

The glisten of your eye is tarnished
Your smile has faded somewhat
There's something troublin' you
There's something not right
Baby come here and share it with me
Let me wrap my arms around You tight
Let me show You
Everything's gonna be alright
'Cause baby it's you and me
And there ain't no place I'd rather be
Than with You
'Cause You make me feel alive
You make me feel something deep inside
And I don't want this feeling to end
No I don't want it to disappear
So baby come here and be with me
Let me hold you tight
Let me show you it's all
Gonna be alright...

I wanna run
I wanna hide
'Cause I can't take this pain
That I'm feeling deep inside.

My heart is heavy
Sinking low
I can't help rememberin'
That I've been here before.

I want these tears
To wash away the pain
I just want everything
To be okay.

'Cause we're so close
Yet you're so far away
I just can't help wishin'
That everything's going to be okay.

Engulfed in a crowd of people
Surrounded by family
The one I love is by my side
But I'm feeling completely alone
Stranded on an island of misery
I'm finding comfort in the bottom of my cup
Swallowing down the pain
Putting on a smile
Letting 'em all think that I'm okay
'Cause my heart is hanging heavy
And my mind is running in circles
I just don't know what to do
So I take another drink
Finding comfort in the bottom of my cup
I swallow down the pain
Try to put on a smile
And tell myself it'll all be okay.

Searching

I'm searching
For a woman
Whose touch
   without knowing
Ignites a flame
That burns deep inside
Out of control
Yearning
For  more.

I'm searching
For a woman
Whose eyes
   with one of those looks
Penetrates my being
Melting my heart
Fueling the fire
Of desire
Burning deep within.

I'm searching
For a woman
Whose kisses
   without trying
Take me
To another place
Causing me to fall
Fanning the flame
Of my heart.

I'm searching
For a woman
Whose words
   without meaning to
Calm my nerves
Kindling the flame
Of lust
And longing
Felt only for her.

I'm searching
For a woman
Whose presence
   unknowingly
Soothes my soul
Removes all my walls
And fills my heart
With all the love
I need.

I put pen to paper
These words flow
From my soul
Like the ink
From this pen

My thoughts coherent
My feelings expressed
Forever marked in time
Never to be taken back.
