You once told me
We'd walk the way together
Hand in hand
step by step
'til the very end
You said
you'd be by my side
Help me up when I fall
Guide me when I'm lost
Hold me when I cry
And I said the same
I'd be there for all
Everything you did...
didn't do
I'd be there
For all that was said
was not what was true
For being there,
'til the very end
you were not
And your eyes
once warm, once caring
turned cold, condescending
You told me
You wouldn't be there, that you
could never be there,
as you were before.
In the end I was alone
I walked my own way
You walked yours
The hand that I held
was no longer there
The path we traveled before
was gone from my sight
And then you,
with my shattered heart
in your hand
were gone too
Night Sky Dreams
Just at the beginning of dusk
The sun escapes from the trap of obscurity
What once was so evident is now unclear
The space that covers all is now ajar
Like the yin and the yang, contorted but not random
It opens into itself, creating the cataclysm
Only the continuance of the vision
Is what keeps the visionary alive
It's untold to them, this miracle
To open the mind, one might say
Expose it to the sky and stars
Let it soar upon the wind with the doves
But be prepared for it to falter
To sputter to a stop amidst the night sky
Another one has drowned in its depth
Wanting and Dreams can only take it so far
Time
I wrote this for the special man in my life. He knows who he is. Kisses to EME
It can creep slowly in passing
There are times when it is over before it has begun
Or in the blink of an eye it could expire, cease to move at all
It is never-ending, but ever-changing
Time
I have spent quite a lot of it with you
Or thinking about you
Countless hours tick away
When I dream of what could be,
When I realize what actually is
Minutes upon minutes of marvelous rapture at the sound of your voice, your
laugh
Precious seconds enjoyed with a soft kiss
Yes, time often goes so slow, or fast, or doesn't move at all
But I know what passes by
I'd never take back
For the amount of time that has passed within your presence
I envision an eternity that has yet to come.
Booty Calls
It's always like that;
Same tired lines, same idle
Chat.
Stupid, boring, time-filling comments
It's always the same with you!
Forced laughter;
A flashing smile, how are
You?
Yes, I?m fine, so good to hear from you
I cannot believe this!
How about a movie Friday;
To see you again, of course!
Yes!
I know it's been a while, I should call more
When will I ever learn?
In a fit of pleasure
You whisper to me,
Oh!
That's so good, a little lower
Ugh, how you disgust me.
Two months have passed
You call out of the blue
Hey!
I know I should've called, how are you?
Listen? I was wondering about dinner
This time I see, and I hang up the phone
I see you there, gawking at the dial tone
I laugh at your expression
You sit there, wondering, what you did wrong
I respond as you wonder
It's the end of booty calls
