Poet Introduction
Hi I'm Jacqueline. Twitter @Jacky_bizarre
The secret
Secrets are not to be told,
facial expressions are to be controlled.
The stutters in the voice kept at a tempo of peace
and hands kept from shaking, kept at ease.
Looking straight into the eyes of all that see,
Not blinking more than once, keeping it quiet,
As how it should be.
facial expressions are to be controlled.
The stutters in the voice kept at a tempo of peace
and hands kept from shaking, kept at ease.
Looking straight into the eyes of all that see,
Not blinking more than once, keeping it quiet,

Headaches
You'd come and leave
Like my morning headaches.
You'd always bring a
Barely tolerable throbbing pain,
Fighting to stay, no matter
How many pills I'd take.
Then suddenly you'd leave,
Giving me a strange relief
And finally the ability to breathe.
Like my morning headaches.
You'd always bring a
Barely tolerable throbbing pain,
Fighting to stay, no matter
How many pills I'd take.
Then suddenly you'd leave,
Giving me a strange relief
And finally the ability to breathe.

I Was There
I was there.
It was beautiful,
the water glowed,
the people roared,
but I still felt alone.
I was there.
It looked amazing,
the stars sparkled,
the people touched,
but I stood by only to watch.
I was there.
It looked great,
the fire burned,
the people stared,
but it was as if I wasn't there.

I should have
I should have loved you in the moment,
And given you sincere words, rather than jokes;
And shown you how my eyes only saw you;
And caught your hand as it touched my cheek,
forbidding your leave.
I should have thrown all my foolishness aside;
And told you that you were my everything;
And embraced you with the eagerness I tamed;
And kissed every inch of your bare body,
so you'd see how much I wanted you there with me.
I should have told you how your smile made life worthwhile;
And called when I ached to hear your voice on lonely...

He kissed
He kissed my hands, my fingertips, my lips.
His voice, soft and soothing, promised love and loyalty.
I'd bury my face in his neck and inhale his sweet smell
that brought me to my bliss.
He'd embrace me so tightly,
I'd feel his warmth inside me.
As we lay there,
he'd brush my hair behind my ears
and held my face close to his.
I'd close my eyes,
trying to feel everything I could,
to keep him longer.
But when my eyes were closed,
he'd let go and turn the other side.
He then kissed her hands, her fingertips, her lips.

What could it be?
Maybe its the way you kiss me,
so anxiously,
Or the way your lips trace my skin,
so gently.
Perhaps it's how you talk to me
and make our words flow naturally,
Or perhaps it's the way you moan
my name quietly.
Or it could be the way you hold my hand
in a loving grasp
Or how your touches make me gasp.
I don't know if it's the way you make me feel
when you say I have your heart
Or the way you make me feel
as you spread me apart.
Just maybe it's the way you say you love me
and kiss me
and hold me ...

I Don't Give
When things don't go your way,
Seems like Everyone has to pay.
Well I'm tired of you.
The way I manage my life shouldn't be your concern,
I'll do what I want.
And NO, you won't stop with all your taunts.
Call me whatever you please,
I can care less of what you think
Or make others believe.
Either way, like it or not, I'm going to do
Whatever I want and with whoever I want.
You can't control me,
Or try to bring me down,
Just because something I do doesn't work out for you.
You think you know it all,
That you're...

I remember
I remember the scent of your skin
As our naked bodies pressed against
Each other in a loving embrace,
Your hand slowly gliding down my
Back barley touching my skin,
How your chest felt as it moved
Up and down as you breathed me in,
The warmth of your neck against my face,
How you placed your hand on my chin
To lift my face to yours
To softly kiss my lips.
I remember the way your eyes
Looked into mine and
How you said that
You loved me.

To lift my face to yours

Looked into mine and
How you said that
You loved me.

As you leave...
The Love that stood so strong by our sides,
Slowly begins to crack as I discover you feel it no more.
Happiness, who held my smile,
Loses grip, and let's it turn into a frown.
Those words, as deadly as bullets, hit me, and knock me out.
And Your steps that once eagerly walked to me,
Now from me, walk away.
I Weep and fall to the floor for you,
Someone who I never knew or loved before.
But yet, My throat swells up,
leaving me no air or words to speak.
I feel the pain throughout me,
As it all comes back to me.

Unanswered Questions
Times like this, when my eyes drown out the light,
and when your responses become short,
I lay awake at night, thinking about us,
& why you won't let her go...
Questions running through my head, all unanswered, all not said...
Do you still think about her?
During your day, or late at night?
Does she haunt your dreams and all your memories?
Does your heart still have a piece that only beats for her?
Why is she so unforgettable?
Why has her impression left you so amazed, that you can't leave her alone?...

Goodbye.
My Dear,
I'm sorry I have to leave.
All this time you have been deceived.
I can't play no more though.
I admit I stopped loving you long ago.
I know this is all wrong,
and maybe I should have told you
my feelings weren't as strong.
I know it doesn't matter anymore what I say or do,
and I know I can't make it right even if I want to.
I really didn't mean to hurt you in any way.
I can't stay anymore, this isn't fair
Because you actually care.
Once you wake up and see this,
Don't cry,...

My Love
I love you more everyday.
I love you more than the sun that illuminates the day.
I love you more with every promise we make.
I love you more with each breathe I take.
I need you here and now.
I need you to keep your vow.
I need you to stay .
I need you to make everything okay.
I want you to press your lips against mines.
I want you to hold me close, and fill me with your essence.
I want you to know how much you mean to me.
I want you to tell me...
