The Kill
I don't like to think of dying
But what if your arms could kill?
What if all my insecurities could be gone in a flash
Fears washed away in an instant
All at the power of
Your touch
Would you go for it?
What if your embrace contains the secret ingredient
To all that I'm missing
And have never quite been able to find
If I knew
I'd let it stir in my mind
But I would remain still
Moved by you
Deeply, too
But not enough
To really follow where you lead
Because I'm afraid of what you see
So when you come around
I...

Summer's coming, time to dream the day away
I was 15 on a Baltic Cruise and we had just left Stockholm
And she's so sunny is the girl you met today
She was called Jayne from the upper decks
Will she make it? can she take it?
She smelt of fresh green apples and she was looking only at me
Like to try love, such a shy love
We merely held hands and then danced very slowly
Ragged back street, leaning on the wall
I felt her warmth, can I be your girlfriend?
She weaves a story of her life before it all
She make me feel special
Did she give love? could...

If only I could transfer the feeling into you through a simple touch
I need to find the correct combination of words to slip from my mouth to your ear
Gotta find the words that you want to hear
The ones that make a smile bloom across your face and make you realize I'm not a mistake
cause it feels like as of recent every word I let flow from me into you lit fire to my tongue and left a knife in your ear
So i keep my distance from your existence
I go back into my own reality and I reread every line i ever wrote
I re arrange every single word that I ever spoke
But its still not there
No the sentence i need exists in a universe...

Fare Thee Well
Oh dear one, she is intoxicated by the fact that she no longer needs to find the right words to make you understand her. Her going. It is a take charge mode that her my mind is in. The only thing she needs to grasp is time. To move forward with it in the most delectable way, to make every moment from here on count. Time is something you took from her, and words, yes even those, leaving her no voice for far too long. But she has made up for that in ways that you cannot begin to fathom. So many things she has loved where you could show her none. To put her thoughts, words to paper leaving an...

Old Flames
I'd like to take a moment and tell you about the trials and tribulations about those that I loved before I met you.
Lover number one, was sweet and sincere,
He said I had nothing to fear.
He said he wanted me for all time, he wanted to be mine.
Then somehow he changed and said It couldn't go on for long.
No reason why nor a simple answer just left without saying good bye.
Lover number two, was lovely and honest, but somehow
Thought it'd be nice to talk about me behind my back.
He lacked maturity, saying he was good to me and told me
" you'll never...

how to be the maze and the minotaur
it amused him to make confetti of my wings and hips
to be the illustrator of my dreams
only to watch my eyelids spasm
as he kept the torch
steady in my hands
the symphony of pain was ribbons
of oasis threading themselves through my ribs,
i wore my hurt like a corset
i couldn't breathe
only blink and smile for everyone
i thought, "this is happiness, being protected
from a long lasting oasis
that will only dry up
and leave me thirsting for more fiction
this is
Truth
life
being loved"

how to recall my love
i had a dream
you made love to me
in the house of the rising sun
where shadows crept
and spiders wept
as we both came undone
i felt you before i saw you
your talon tasting my pulse
i smiled
and reached behind your neck
to search your spine
for the music i'd left as a moon freckle there so many times before
how i'd played you like my violin
each melody
that rose from me
creating a black diamond star
smoke pours into your mouth
from mine
married with sorrow, grief,
and love
a love you forgot you knew...

Blame It All On Hollywood
Marilyn, she made men love her with a sickness
a pretty little actress laying facedown by their side
pretending to be the victim
whilst they howled her name into the cameras.
Cry, cry for Monroe
and bleed tears of desire
before you dare utter your lines
like Brando, living his part to deliver the truth.
So scream, scream for bloody romance
christen the screenwriter
to write something tragic
and watch, watch it unfold...

How Can I Tell You
I met you in 1991, now that was a good year
In fact it was the most incredible year of my life
I saw you for the very first time
You were what I had been searching for all my life and there you were right in front of me
From the moment I took your glasses off and looked into your amazing eyes
I knew that I was going to spend the rest of my life with you
Our lives were never going to be the same, we were going to look out for each other
No matter how stormy the seas got
Two trees bending in the wind shielding together our special...

Michael * dedicated to Michael Jackson*
Before I go on with this poem I'd like to say this poem is dedicated to Michael Jackson since today is his birthday and he would've been 56 years old. I will always love him and wish he'd be here and there's never a day when I don't still think of him. R.I.P Michael Joseph Jackson 1958-2009.
Michael, oh the world was so pleasant and yet filled with so much pain
that you tore down.
Michael, oh Michael you brought us to our knees
as we begged " please, please, please!".
Michael, oh Michael why did you have to go so soon?,
Now that you're gone there is no...

Princee Charming
In the land of opportunity
And romantic dreams
I am Prince Charming
Looking for a beautiful woman—It seems.
She is a woman of beauty so very rare
A lady of distinction with gorgeous soft brown hair.
As she walks, you admire her, as she has a lot of class,
Wearing a white satin gown and sparkling slippers of glass.
Beautiful eyes, and lips of wine
Whose elegance and grace is so very fine.
A curvaceous figure so firm with good tone
She makes every man drool, regretfully, and deeply groan.
However, because I am Prince Charming...
