Your Eyes Shine Verdantly Bright

Your eyes shine verdantly bright,
and pierce my heart.

When I am in your beautiful presence,
it is ever so difficult to part.

You sing of beauty, with love and grace,
with childish joy, I yearn for your embrace.

I wait to see you today and tomorrow,
to hold you close and quell my sorrow.

I say this with care and mindful notion,
to win your favor and pledge my devotion.

Quiet and Chaos

In my moments of quiet and chaos,
I keep thinking of you.

How I like the sound of your voice,
your smile, your laughter.

How your jokes are raunchy and obscene,
how you light up when you are happy.

How you are passionate and full of lie.
how you appear to the world,
how you carry yourself.

How you have come out of fighting your battles,
How your loss guides you forward not defines you.

I like you from the moment I saw you.
How I fell for you when I saw you dance.

How I have fallen in love with you while searching for the one,
and here you are.

I love you for who you are,
for who you want to be,
for what you want to do.

Honor me with your favor,
your hand, your love.

And I will give you my promise,
my shoulder, my hand and heart.

Looking for Life's answers in song and dance

Looking for life's answers in song and dance.
Moments fleeting, passing by, without a concern for time.

I sit and stare at my black mirror
elated, haunted, angered at times.
Yet I return to the refuge of the familiar.

Like an old friend, it welcomes me to it's embrace.
It consoles me, it scolds me, it holds my attention as it know me.

I hold in my breast such sorrow, only it knows how to make me breathe it out.
I am surrounded by it's siren song, it's poetry, it's taunts,
as the cosmic ballet plays on.

The Pains of Love

The pains of love, of loss and fear
of losing you forever, for you to disappear.

This grave weight, this cross I bear,
I cry out for you, though you cannot hear
to me when I call your name,
like a silent prayer taken in vain.

I know my nature I cannot reveal,
my wounded soul, would never heal,
without your tender affection and kiss,
a simple glance to grant me bliss.

To win your favor, I would move earth and heaven,
this restless heart, has no rhyme or reason.

Except for one thing, this I know,
with my heart in hand I would go,

to the reaches far and wide,
with you always by my side.

My word, my bond, know this to be true.
With everything in me, I completely love you.

Take my last nickel

Take my last nickel but give me a penny's worth of love.

All that I have, all that I am is for not.
All that I want, is to belong, to you.

Without you, I cannot bear this for long.
Love can sustain me on the coldest night,
the hottest day.

My thirst is quenched,
only by the waters that you bare as I swallow you whole.

Time is passing by too fast,
but not fast enough for me to forget and forfeit your grasp on me.

But I can't.

The Dancer

He dances with passion,gusto and lust.
On surfaces hard and edges rough.

but plays on my heartstrings with coyness and such finesse,
That I am besides myself and helpless to his touch.

What form, what poise, what beauty, what grace,
I yearn achingly for his loving embrace.

I breathe his presence every moment,
In hopes of gaining his favor as a present.

I write these words in my room alone,
His thought nourishes me, and I am at home.

His smile ablaze with his flame of passion.
I lose my rhyme, I forget my reason.

My heart breaks on hearing his past despairs,
I'll win his heart, his trust, his love,

and soothe his pains and wipe his tears.
This I pray to the Lord above.
