Fearful

One day we’ll say goodbye
And we’ll kiss like we’ve never kissed
We’ll stand amongst the sea
And the waves will lap at my knee

It’s this day I am fearful for
The day the boats come to dock,
And the doors I held open will have to lock

My hopes will fade and I’ll start to dream
Dreaming of you as the one that got away
One day I’ll have to miss your face
And I’ll have to remember the way you taste

I’ll stick your photo on my wall
I’ll shed a tear when I hear your song
One day we’ll all be said and done
And I’ll have to face that you have gone.

Deceptive Poetry.

This poem won’t say anything i want it to say
i’ll save it all for another day
that day won’t come until it’s too late
and you’ll be wondering if it was fate

this poem won’t tell you the things i feel
i munch on the words like yesterday’s meal
i didn’t know that i could feel so much
but the heartbreak fades with each touch

this poem won’t say that i love you
it won’t tell me you love me too
it will hide every feeling i’ve ever felt
and pretend you made my heart melt

this poem won’t make you happy, nor sad,
an emotion-less being, it drives me mad
it will hide the truth from your eyes
i hope you know it’s all lies

this poem won’t tell you that i’m sad today
it’ll hide it with rhymes and pretty words to say
it won’t tell you that i cried tonight
and after all this time, i’ve seen the light.

Your Song.

Your song is beginning to play,
It’s lingering a bit inside my head today

Yours is the only song I ever want to hear,
I wish today could last for a year

Heavy beats and a muffled drum,
A pretty guitar that you strum

I sometimes wish I could sing in tune,
Just to whisper along with you

I’d stay awake so I could play,
We’d play until the break of day

Sometimes a song is all I need
To fill my heart with love and greed

I’d walk hand in hand through sound with you
Away with the tune, your song and you.

The Dot Of The I's.

I want to open the book of your life,
And read between all the lines.
I was caught in your dreams in fantasies i can’t comprehend
With words i don’t understand,
And I want to know everything you know:
To read your first chapter and take the meanings from the page,
I want to make sense of the rhyme and the fantasies,
To know your hopes, to cure your fears
I want to read about the time we first kissed,
And everything about me that one day you’ll miss
You’re riddled with secrets that i fear,
And a lifetime of love i wish i could be near
I want to read between your lines,
Read your book page by page
To be the fiction and the fact,
The rhetorical question and the dot of the I’s.

Bright Silhouettes

Come here and we’ll never have to feel alone
The night is dark, and I can feel the cold
The curtains breathe the shadows that i fear
Come here and we can make shapes in the light
We can dance and be bright silhouettes
We can cuddle like this was our first time
And passion exudes like we’ve never met
Come here and we shall christen the day
I’ll look in your eyes, it’ll make it ok
And when the day begins to show,
You’ll hold me tight, we’ll never let go.

My Words Have Left Me

My words have left me
I tried to speak but they got stuck
You took them from me and left me silent
I couldn’t pretend that I could talk
I let the truth speak from my eyes
I’m sorry that you became such a thief
And maybe I should have seen the signs
That being with you would have such an effect
You’d leave me speechless,
Taking the words from my mouth
And I’m only just beginning
To get back the feeling in my tongue,
To let the words touch and roll,
To feel the sound as it leaves me
I want to keep the words as mine,
But for now I’ll let you take them
And maybe in time we can learn to share.

Yesterday.

Yesterday i woke to find my thoughts were jumping through space
I was swimming through clouds and the rain had made me late.

Yesterday i woke to find my dreams were running out of town,
I was skipping after you and the pavements had let me down.

Yesterday i woke to find my heart was beating in rhyme
The roads that would lead me to you were long and somewhat intertwined.

Yesterday i woke to find my tears stung like angry bees,
The love i’d always held for you was disappearing through the trees.
