I loved a boy who was caught in a war

a war with those whom should have loved him most

some feared him,

with his dark demeanor and cold eyes

he looked at me studiously 

and I watched a smile escape him

he loved me for seeing him 

for who he was 

making a connection while all others were lost

I loved a boy who became afraid

he feared me

and all the love that I was capable of

I loved a boy whom became very lost

he searched for me for many years………….

I hold a love for a man

whose touch is like the warmth of the sun

he is uncertain of what he wants

I miss his beautiful smile

he too is afraid

will he search for me?

for how many years?

I knew a woman 

with a beautiful smile

her teeth were like a white picket fence

that seem to shatter

every time she looked at her husband

I did not recognize my fragile state
And how lost I had become
To find someone
Time stood still as I waited on you
And doubt crept into my heart
Of your true intentions
I needed you and would wait
For all that you would give
No matter how little
You had me many times
Were those lies
that fell from your lips?
A penitent sigh is all I can manage
As I lie awake thinking of you
And the fool that I am.

 You speak to me with daggers

 Accompanied by blunt intentions

  I know

  I tear my lip in worry 

  As I read the words you wrote

  Each time I dare to look upon you 

   I see much confusion,

  Or is it fear?

  Too much silence lingers

  Between us

  For we know too well

  All that cannot be said

As I ran my fingers through your wild hair,

You swiftly grabbed me with much intensity.

You held me tight

I found it strange

When a simple kiss would suffice.

But you knew That it was the last I would see of you 

You asked me to wait
An arduous request
I already expect that you will disappear
I miss the warmth of your touch,
Your hands in my hair,
The taste of your lips
How do I know you will still be there
Are you waiting?
Or do you intend on slipping away
While my heart follows
Your vague intentions
To the depths of the mystery
That is you

I can’t stop this fire
Do you think you could set me free?
Be rid of this restlessness inside of me
A quiescent woman driven mad with desire
Your enigmatic smile drives me wild.

One nations greed bleeds another to get what we want or feel we need.
The result,
A homeless infant
A child of war
They try to show us ( a quick glimpse, between weather & sports)
Until we change the channel. We remain ignorant so that we can continue to fret over all the things we do not have,
And strive to gain more.

No matter how happy he will make me, he’ll never reach the depth of my soul.
And after awhile,
It will start to hurt.

I am entertained by thoughts 
Of you and me
In a constant reverie
I fear at our next encounter
I may lose all control
My desire is devouring all sensibility

It’s easier without sleep
To let you go 
You brighten my world
On the darkest day 
Awake, you make me smile
But sleep…..
Sleep, I am captivated by you
There are no limits
