I
Have
Never been
As numb as I am
Right now
Today
I
Have
Never been
So detached
Ripped up
Afraid
I
Have
Never felt
Such a loss while
Still being
Whole
I
Have
Hurt the one
I love, I doubted
His very
Soul
I
Now beg
For Todays rain
To please come wash
Hurt and pain
Away

Just where would you say that you are right now?
Your body tells me,
That you’re right here
But your mind is floating, way out there,
Somewhere not even, remotely near
Out there somewhere from long ago,
Your mind still buried in thought
You poor old thing, just why can’t you learn,
When the lessons already been taught
But like a child whose balloon has just broke,
You sit there and hide, your tears as you choke
Pretending it’s nothing, nothing at all
While in true life, you never rose from that fall
Insult me with nothings, that is just grand
Deny my heart, what it truly deserves
Proclaiming it’s me you want to be near
Never have I heard something more absurd
My color of future and yours of the past
So sorry Dear one, but they really don’t match
Like a lone piece, from a worn out puzzle,
In a new one, it has no place
This game of yours,
Holding on to old pieces
If you want this new puzzle,
Get your head out of space
Sometimes it takes a sleepless night
To awaken from a dream
To realize that the cloud you walk,
Is not as real as it had seemed
Sometimes it takes a moment,
To cancel out a life
Realize that the faith you had,
Is now lost with just one lie
Sometimes it takes a player
To come in to your heart
To realize that the charm and wit,
Are just their form of art
Sometimes it takes a heart of gold,
To melt and turn to stone
To realize that, all along,
Your love has always, been alone
Sometimes it’s best to trust your gut,
Because it is your best friend
Only then you’ll shorten, false loves pain,
And get quicker to the end
Dedicated to you,
I long to stay
Every moment, cherished new
Grateful for this life of ours,
On a road, shared by love true
A bed of your roses with champagne,
We toss and ignite our game
Here, by me, remain
In loves flame
Lay
As seen in our eyes, our hearts proclaim,
A night without any shame
Here, by me, remain
In loves flame
Stay
Gods gift of passion that we attain
Tomorrow please stay the same
Here, by me, remain
In loves flame
Pray

If
I was
To slide
To the side
Of your bed, get
Just as close as I can
Would
You then
For me turn
And wake up
From the dream
You’re just in
To feel the
Touch of
My skin
If
I was
To breathe
Down the nape
Of your neck would
You quiver in warmth
And pull the sheet
Down for me to
Cool down
Too?
Let the fire enter your sleep
Let fantasy fill your mind
With desire open but
Eyes closed to feel
Me travel about
On your skin
Tonight
Will you whisper those words I’ve put in your mind?
Please pretend that they’re yours,
So I can forget that they’re mine
That just one moment of us together,
Is worth, all of lifes time
That without the smell of my skin, my touch,
Surely you’d wither and die
That there’s no life without dreams,
And no dreams, without life
There’s nothing at all, without me by your side,
Your dreams would vanish,
Get caught in the night
Lost forever, disappearing from sight
Whisper sweet somethings, or nothing at all,
Let me twist them to hear what I like
Just say my name with the sinking moon,
In the morning, let me wake by your side
Is the clown smiling from behind his frown?
His Illusion portrays it not so
I’ll ask for illusion, pretend that it’s love
Please pretend you’re not frowning,
Don’t go
If you gave me just a moment
Between now and evermore,
I’d start by choosing now,
My heart to open up and pour
Out to you my many thanks
Of just being by my side
The pillar of strength you are for me,
You just don’t recognize
If you’d give me just one moment
Of silence next to you,
Sole beating of my heart would tell
How in love I am with you
For loving me the way I am
Though unsure with my lifes way,
How I doubt myself, confuse my world,
But by me you still stay
If you let me have the choice,
How long your moments
Could be mine,
I’d choose forever and a day
And love you for that time
I look in your eyes, you look into mine
But do we really see what is there?
Do we see what we know
Or just hopes and dreams
With but a gaze of endearment so fair
Is this exchange that we speak
With unspoken word
Really a truth at all
Is what’s heard with the eyes
What the heart really bares
Can I trust that you won’t let me fall
Please don’t look again
Till I strengthen my heart
From the powerful sight of you
Please just look again
When I know we won’t part
And forever your love’ll be true
The Starting End
