emotions, heart,
Hearts made of wax, sent through the mail
Should help relax, instead I wail,
They will soon melt in time's hot hands,
Loneliness is felt midst life's strands;
Hearts made of glass shatter and fail
When griefs harass, they don't prevail,
What use are these hearts so feeble,
Poor pleas of perishing people?
Hearts made of stone are cold and fake,
Even Love will own - "Hard to break",
Will they be healed? How can I trust?
Feelings concealed, what if they bust?
Hearts made of flesh and blood, I seek,
They won't crush my sentiments meek,
Understanding hearts of love - Now,
fear departs, before them I bow.

Here I lay weeping
I sing a sad song to sleep
Fire cracking bones
kicking, screaming, pulling hair
The moment, gone forever

crush, funny love, humorous, teacher,
As I look back, it all seems funny now
Recalling all those awkward teen age years
I pushed the limits farther than allowed
Supposedly when young, we had no fears
Infatuation caught me with the blues
My heart was swollen by love's gentle sting
It was a crush that only left a bruise
Left by the diamond in her wedding ring
The first day I laid eyes on her, I fell
The lightning bolt she was, that shook my world
And to this day I swear I'd know her smell
Could she have read my mind, she'd likely hurled
I hated school but never missed her class
She said she loved me 'cause I made her laugh

You are the wild flower in my palm
With no stem to keep you anchored to this covetous earth
You are the fragile thing I dare not cup,
As your petals whittle away under the wind
And flit unfettered in the air;
Exaggerated fear leaves my fingers numb
Hungry need leaves my fingers twitching
And my hand is paralyzed by turmoil
As every breath of wind takes another petal from me
And brings to my lungs, my chest and my heart
An overwhelming scent of need-
You are the wild beauty in my palm
And I dare not hold you to my chest
For I fear to crush you
To know first hand
That caged beauty, is beauty no more.

crush, cute love, love,
Some are ever hollow
Some are full of lies
Some are evil; menacing
Some are old and wise
Some are full of mischief
Some are full of fear
Some are deep and soulful
Others full of tears
Some are ever roving
Some are ever cold
Some are ever staring
Some are even rolled!
Some are ever flirting
Some are green or blue
Mine are eyes
That can’t disguise
The love they hold for you

childhood, crush, cute love, first love, heartbreak, love, nostalgia,
In the back of my closet,
high upon the shelf,
there sits an old love letter
that I keep to myself.
Its pages are crumpled,
the edges a tad bit torn.
I can recite his words by memory,
although the writings worn.
He tells of his undying love,
and how we were meant to be.
Our vows whispered at the church,
they were our fantasy.
Like all things, neither tried nor true,
we had to be apart.
A victim of the ages,
he broke my sixth grade heart.

poetry,
To feel love's tender touch with gracious hand
When hearts render treasure to paradise
Desires allowed to express understand
To let passion confess without device
To know brush of fingers to be sublime
As eyes slowly crush quiet in their pause
When hearts quiver on borrowed time
They'll deliver to love its purest cause
To seek lover's lips with its soft caress
Equips a mouth with need and silence held
A message burning in hearts both confess
Stirs heart beats yearning, lover's lips will meld
This quiet pause love alone can render
As it comes to cause complete surrender

urban, me, love, me,
Brown eyes so deep with anger and pain yet, so hypnotising and sweet they
tempt my soul.
Lips so soft and warm, such harsh words for such gentle lips. Kiss me so I can
feel your pain.
An embrace so safe and secure that could crush you and destroy that which is
oh so pure- hold me closley.
I feel your heart,
I hear your breath,
I know there is love inside.
A sculptured body, skin of a king, I see you in my dreams-I feel you when you are
away.
If only you loved me with a heart that's pure.
If only you'd let me in so I could love you,
forever and ever,
my strong black man...

Newfound love, roses grow
New moon silver flashes
Nubile young, blushing cheeks
Nice guy, real charmer
Nuts about your sweet kiss
Nothing can change the love

cheer up, moving on,
Love my name ~ but never take it
Feel my heart ~ but never crush it
Read my words ~ but never destroy them
Warm yourself in the sun ~ but share it with me
Listen for my sad song ~ comfort me
See my smile ~ laugh along with me
A poem from my soul ~ I will be happy to share
A thought taking birth
Eyes that see even in deep darkness
A human being
I travel in my little boat in the open sea ~ there's room for you too
The whole world in front of our feet
Sunrise and sunset
An adventure ~ if you want
Together ~ always
Not in a war zone
A
peaceful journey
in
an intoxication of love
that never
will end

age, analogy, heartbreak, lost love, memory, soulmate, time,
The summer sand beneath my feet,
Now cooling with the twilight blush,
Is time's reminder, rough and sweet,
Of when we found our tender crush ...
This lonesome beach where, long ago,
We loved 'neath towels, raw and slow,
And pledged that one, we'd always be ...
Now swept, with years ... far out to sea.

anger, violence,
We chase after you,
Crush your love on Sixteenth Street,
Playing a game steeped in shadows.
If you could see,
You would know—they are just like me.
They call for war,
Build walls against new hope,
Unable to bear the sight of your joy,
Your unshackled spirit and strength.
They ache for their own end,
And if you could see,
You would know—they cherish you more than I do.
You may cast me aside,
But you cannot escape their grasp.
If you could see,
They blend into our world,
Sitting beside you,
Walking through the crowds.
They wear the same human guise.
You would feel sad to know that
They have abandoned their humanity.

Still half asleep, I spill

crush, girlfriend, i love you, i miss you, love,
High,
as the sun sets i look up at the sky
Watch the rooftops glisten with the moon light
Wondering if we see the same stars at the same time?
Butterflies, heartbeating, with these feelings i can see blind
Sleepless nights talking, leave me wanting more
Like them glowing footsteps on the sea shores

He smiles and gazed
deeper in my eyes,
nuzzling closer
whispering words
I want to hear
sweetest love
take my breath away
he whispered
have confession to make
million ways making me quake
fuming hungers
A desire a passion
we can share
A secret
burning like fever
softly calls my name
warm as summer breeze
beckons me closer
he whispered
let me enter
alabaster temple of you
sweet like ambrosia
worship deep
secret delights

crush, sweet love,
You had a crush on her
You had a crush on her
Being sure as well
Love is what you felt,
Dating her exclusively
Without ever telling her.
She indulged in your care
Like you were her kid-brother,
And you rejoiced finding passion
In proximity of her splendor,
Feeling mighty blessed
When she wrapped you in a hug.
You didn’t know how to ask
What kind of love that was,
Had no clue how to talk about
The flutter in your heart,
And now you're too grown-up to ask
Yet, you are dying to find out
If she ever connected the dots.

celebration, crush, england, firework, kiss, love, night,
On
a cold
autumn eve,
playful fingers
tangled, soft and shy.
The smell of hot chestnuts
wafted through the milling crowd,
a promise of comfort and warmth.
We watched, you and I, the skies explode
as rockets declared their secret desires.
Catherine wheels danced a dizzying response
while the bang of crackerjacks echoed,
spilling smoke quick into the night.
"Penny for the guy?", they cried.
Sparklers lit, searching lips,
the most tender touch.
We kissed, my heart
reflected
in your
eyes.

friendship, happiness, love,
Her face is like candlelight in the dark
with eyes so deep in thought and
a smile so innocent
Brown hair so soft
Tickling her neck when the wind blows which
Softens her olive skin
Her heart is pure
Filled with sweetness but
Pounding with life
If she could live forever
She would and would
Never waste a single moment
To touch her is to really know her
Holding on to be complete
Kissing her softly and breathing her in
Never-ending laughter of youth and angels
Mind of a thousand scholars and a
Heart of a poet

Sunflowers are black and yellow
You’re a damn cute fellow
Our hands intertwined on the cello
With you, I want to sing the Sh-ha-shallow
Bougainvillea are purple and pink
Let me take you out for a drink
Together our glasses will clink
Oh, you make my heart sink!
