Untrue Love

Sometimes light is cold.
It's best to be in the dark.
That's where you wanted me right
from the start.

We've fallen.
We've gotten up again.
We're lost now
with no where to begin.

The sun's hiding from us.
There's no light in our world.
There's no way we can trust...for sure.
The rain's falling from the clouds above.
And we're drowning, suffering from untrue love.

You've turned blind to me.
You can't see me... sorry.
I must try to leave.
All these years of tears & misery.

Soon after, you'll come running
and drop to your knees
begging, hoping I'll let you in again,
but it'll be different.

When He Came Back To Me

Don't ask me.
I wouldn't know.
He'd go and come back to me.

When I wasn't looking
with my eyes closed.
I couldn't see a thing.
When I was sleeping,
he was there creeping
in my dreams.

And I felt him in my arms.
On the coldest nights, it felt so warm.
Oh, oh.
I felt him touch my lips.
Like I was the melody to his song.
Oh, oh.
You came back to me,
now don't leave me alone.

After he left me
for you,
you'd think everything
was said and done.
But his lies speak like the truth.
Once you lose, it's all you've won.

When I was crying
with my eyes red.
Blood was running cold within.
And then, I saw you laying,
resting your head.
Your hands upon my skin.

When he showed at my door,
I knew my heart would fall to the floor.
With his lovely eyes
giving mine direction-
there wasn't a single question.

When he came back to me.
That's how he took me again.
When he came back to me.
His hands upon my skin.

Fruitful

(This is my haiku.)

Fruitful like me, yes!
The taste of apples and pears.
Fruitfulness is good.

Fruitful like this, yeah!
Cherries, watermelons fresh.
Fruitfulness feels good.

The touch of a new fruit.
Papaya juice sprees out free.
Fruitfulness tastes good.

DO NOT DISTURB

Everything happens in these 4 walls,
but I can take a hammer and crash them all.
Then you'll hear (what I scream about to tears).
Then you'll know (where all pain goes.)

What room can I better crash than this one?
The one I painted with words.
What room can I release myself in better than this one?
The one that has the sign,
"DO NOT DISTURB!"

I found my place in a hotel.
I sit back and play,
when things don't go well.
Then you'll believe (all of my grief).
Then you'll say ("Today's not her day.")

So do not disturb.
DO NOT DISTURB,
DO NOT DISTURB me today.

Life's No Movie

Life's no movie.
There's no pause or stop you can press.
Life's no movie.
No recorded DVD or VHS.
There's no such thing
as a movie screen.
What happens in this world
is what you see.
Life's no movie,
so why pretend?

Slow down, look down.
Just look around-
things are moving in a fast pace.
It's like the only things sane now
are the creatures below our faces.

Look up, look down, look away-
people say.
Look up, look down, look away-
and they say.
Look up, look down, look away-
look away.

In Love With Your Soul

Oh, I'm covered up in your blood.
You're covered in mind.
And doesn't it feel good?
Oh, tell me, does it feel good?

You hold my hand.
I've fallen in love.
But tell me, is it right?
Is it right, tonight?

You're holding me tight.
You make my dreams take flight.
Try hard as a might,
I dare not let go.
Cause it's hard to let go.
Why did I wait?
All to see what you'd create.
And now it's too late.
I've fallen in love with your soul.
I'm in love with your soul.

Oh, let me cry my tears
while you cry yours.
They're innocent.
They're so innocent.
With the touch of your soul
I freeze.
It's true. It's all too true.

You're so quiet
when you whisper in my ear.
I can't deny it,
it's all too clear.
Morning's coming.
The sun is rising.
Ever it is too lovely.
It's all too exciting

You Flew Away

I remember that day.
We both felt the same way.
The last time I saw your face.

You were so beautiful.
So wonderful.
It was a miracle.
Just waiting to happen.

And sometimes I don't feel like crying,
just laughing.
It makes me happy.
And I'm finding
it was just natural-
you flew away.
Oh, so natural-
you flew away.

I like reminiscing.
I try now, confessing.

You were such a blessing.
Right now you're resting.
So softly, so calmly.

Like a bird
you flew away.
And I knew
it was to happen someday.
And it's true
sometimes I may not feel okay.
But it's you
I dream of all day, everyday.

I see right now you're resting.
And confess now,
you're a reminiscence.

Ritratto

She has a cool cream face.
One that no one can replace.
It's brought me so much disgrace.
It's ridiculous.
She has a wonderous smile.
One that's only worth while.
She's a Mona Lisa's child.
The beauty is atrocious.

Portrait
She's in every painting
Da Vinci to Monet
It's amazing.
Portrait
it's all I see.
She's always in your arms.
If only it were me.
But you just forget my notions.
Every time you see the portrait.

Dipingi il ritratto.
Cuando vede
What can I do?
There's too much insanity!

She has the lust of Aphrodite.
Every move is to your liking.
The way she kisses is all you miss.
How can love be like this.
Lei e` sempre nella tu braccia.

I'm Your Everything

When you're down and blue, I'llbe there tohold you.
When there's nothing you can do, I'll be sure to help you through.
That's the way it should be.
That's the way it could be...

I'm your butterfly floating through your Spring.
I'm your precious bird with a song to sing.
I'm your helping hand when life isn't easy.
Yes, I'myour everything.
I'm your everything.

By the sea, you're lonely.
You could use a friend.
So if only God has an angel sent.
You need love and care.
I will always be there.
That's the way it is.
That's just how it should be.

The Beautiful Woman

This poem is dedicated to my loving friend, Edith "DeDee" K. Johnson. I
love you, I miss you. Lei e` persona bella.

I didn't know how much love surrounded me.

The way she spoiled me tenderly.

Her eyes a vivid blue.

The fluent German accent is true.

Her loving ways are in my heart.

Her hugs are wide like the sky.

Her skin as gentle as the rain cries.

Her spirit flows through me.

It never dies.

The beautiful woman is so calm.

She retells the time she held me in her arms.

The dreams she's left for me are in my palm.

Such a beautiful woman is never gone.

Curse

You leave me hanging onto your word.
My soul is clanging on a curse.
I've given you everything,
but you're still not happy.
What person should I start being?
How can I stop this from happening?

I sing a song with no words- you're my voice.
I have to suffer along with your curse- I have no choice.
I feel so numb with pain-you're my blood.
I feel so dumb and insane.
There's no more love.

You play games with my heart.
I'm waiting for the day I fall apart.
What you have; you can't give.
If there's no air in this world; I can't live!

Curses!
Spells!
As you live in a heaven
I burn in a living hell.
Fir burns.
Can't you see, oh, baby,
your love hurts?

Capture Me

(I know this is short, but here it goes...)

If I could breathe into your life
I could revive myself.
And if I could see through your eyes
I could block all the blindness of hell.

Capture me and never let me go.
Make me see all that you behold.
Have the rain outpour my tears.
Your sanity will overcome my fears.
I'm wishing you would pick up the fallen pieces.
Capture me until my love releases.

I Hate Holding Hands

I don't want to worry anymore.
I don't want you to know me for sure.
The door's open.
It's time for me to leave.

I don't want to hold your hand.
I hate holding hands.
Cause I know that will leave me.
I won't hold your hand.
Cause I hate holding hands
Knowing that hands will never hold me.

Your fingers are slipping.
They're always slipping.
My mind is tripping.
You're not listening.

Hands will never hold me.
Hands will never hold me.
Your trust will never hold me.

Touches

You and I
are in the dark.
We kiss good night
every part of love.
I'm a soldier, but I don't want to fight.
End my sorrow & make me fly.

A touch is all I need
to end my misery.
The light comes to me
and tells me everything.
I need to know
before you go.
You don't have to leave.
Stay and be my remedy.
I, a slave is sold.
Secrets are told through touches.

I am, I am
touched by an angel.
I am, I am
able
to be touched, my angel.

Through touches
Through touches
anything can happen.
Through touches
Through touches
anything can be.

It Feels So Real

I hit the ground
but don't remember falling.
I hear such a sound
but nobody calls me.

My love,
I need you.
My love,
where are you?

Cause it feels
like a hundred years,
but it's only been a minute.
I can't breathe.
I can't believe this feeling.
It feels,
It feels so real.

I dream all of the time
without closing my eyes.
With my misery lost,
treasure I find.

My love,
you hold me.
My love, you never know it.

I can't breathe (this air).
I can't see (nothing's there.)
I can't be without you.
I can't be without you.

I hit the ground,
but don't remember falling.
I hear such a sound,
but nobody calls me.

2005 Standard

Just considered a whore.

Everything is sex.
Everything is lust.
Every two words are cussed.

Ignorance.
belligerence.
Tragedy.
Extosy.
Most things are ungodly.

Pimps, sluts, and hos.
Kiss and tell.
Young wedding bells.
The devil offers hell
and we go.

Stranger

You said you'd never ever leave my side.
We'd be together, always forever,
but you lied.
You denied... it all.

You're nothing but a stranger.
You always were-
I just never realized it.
You're nothing but a stranger
and you're standing outside waiting to come in.

But you were always the sunshine in my life.
Where did the rain come from?
Why did the rain come?
You were always the host inside.
You're suddenly the stranger, you're now the stranger.
