"Damned If I Do"
I have wanted to tell you
What is inside my heart
But history has shown me
That wouldn't be so smart
Now the desire burns in me
To follow through
Though my intuition tells me
I'm damned if I do
All I need is love
To be all that I can be
With each rising Sun
The fondness grows inside of me
I want to make it stop
But I know it won't
Maybe I shouldn't tell you
But I'm damned if I don't
I'll do the safe thing
And pretend my heart is numb
I'll be torturing myself
For a long time to come
Logic dictates what I must
Keep hidden from you
I'd sooner break my own heart
But I'm damned if I do
I wonder how long
I will tango with this pain
How long will not knowing
Haunt the hallways of my brain?
I want to ask you out
But I fear you won't
There's no point in asking
Except I'm damned if I don't

"Painfully Exciting"
I've got that empty feeling again
From wishing you were my girlfriend
But what a coward I am, I'm too afraid to ask
My heart has a way of expanding the task
You're so pretty it makes my heart pound
A painful yet exciting sound
Despite eight years difference, passions race within my heart
And I don't want age to keep us apart
I am charmed when you sit next to me
My eyes feel the beauty I see
I like going to concerts and doing lunch in the mall
I was content just to be with you at all
Content's not enough, I'm sure there is more
I'm more assured than I was before
If I don't say it soon you'll never be told
I must leap now while I'm on the threshold

"The Best Girl I Can See"
I set sail for a New World to explore
What I found I've never seen before
If you say no, I guess that's just the breaks
It'll be another one of my mistakes
Don't get me wrong, you're no ones mistake to me
When I look around you're the best girl I can see
I've been hiding it ever since we met
Behind an undefined silhouette
Should poems reveal what I'm afraid to say?
If I never ask, you can't come out to play
But before I impart you with the truth
Let this not be a sayer of the sooth
I wonder how this is going to sound
How will you feel when the secret is unwound?
Will you become more than the girl I secretly admire?
I want you to experience my desire
To answer the question written on your face
I want us to occupy mutual space
(*06/28/1987)

If's of my love
If only you're mine I'll be blissful forever...
If only you're near I will love you tender...
If only you will kiss me You will be my reason for breathing...
If eternally you will love me I will love you utterly...
If only I will be your everything you will be my anatomy...
If only you will share your life with me we will breathe our last breath holding each other...
If only you will achieve the 'ifs' of my love I will rephrase this with reality...
If only you will stir me up there will be no dreams just veracity...
If only I can expunge my 'ifs' I will do it at this instant and embark a new chapter...
If only I can unshackle the fact,
LOVE IS CRUEL,
I LOVE YOU BUT YOU WILL NEVER DO THE SAME THING...

A dream of you and me
As I lay my soul and close my eyes
I raise my hand as I trace your face
I stare at you with mounting hopes
Desire filmed my smoldering soul.
I wrap my arms around your waist
As we walk under the moonlit shore
Then I look at you while thinking haste
I could not ask anything more…
Endlessly we make love through the night
On shattered grains of prevailing affection
But then I woke up and you were gone
Everything was just my love’s delusion…
Persisting dream of you and me
My fear is still, I am shut and slur.
I can only wish that someday there will be
A reality of love for you and me.
As I lay my soul and close my eyes
I raise my hand as I trace your face
I stare at you with mounting hopes
Desire filmed my smoldering soul.
I wrap my arms around your waist
As we walk under the moonlit shore
Then I look at you while thinking haste
I could not ask anything more…
Endlessly we make love through the night
On shattered grains of prevailing affection
But then I woke up and you were gone
Everything was just my love’s delusion…
Persisting dream of you and me
My fear is still, I am shut and slur.
I can only wish that someday there will be
A reality of love for you and me.
