Eventually...




If
“What’s meant to be, will be…eventually”

It’s already over…

If
Our eyes…
 Lock

If
 Our hands…
 Clasp

If
 Our lips…
Touch

If
 Our tongues…
Mesh

If
Our bodies…
Unite

If
 Our minds…
 Link

If
Our hearts…
Bond

&

If
Our souls…
Connect

Just wait & see…

It’s going to happen…Eventually.

In Flux...



Limbo
“Sometimes we really can’t see the forest for the trees…”

Why am I drawn to you?
I shouldn’t be feeling you this way
We were only just friends…
At least that’s what we always say

Why can’t I forget you?
This attraction shouldn’t be
We were only just buddies…
But between us there’s chemistry

Why do I think about you?
In ways I know aren’t right…
We were only close comrades
You aren’t even my type…

Why do I wait for you?
When I know you won’t be there
We were only supposed to be pals….
But for some reason I’m still here

I care a great deal for you…
So much more than you’ll ever know
But I’ll never get a chance to show it
Because we’re stuck in Limbo

Lamentations...




Lamented
“I bet it seemed so right back then…”

Mistakes were made
Yet apologies weren’t told
Deeds were done
Now it just feels old

Seems like eons ago
It all went down so fast
I’ve moved on
Yet you’re stuck in the past

I can understand your grief
But you created your own reality
Now lie in that bed
You made by wronging me

If only you had the gumption
To do it right from the start
Then you wouldn’t be in this situation
Cursed with a heavy heart

Trapped in a boundless hell
Caused by your own pride
Your outward visage is a lie
Concealing your sadness inside

Now you ask yourself the question
Was it really worth it?
Maybe you should have thought it through
Then you wouldn’t be feeling like this...

I gave you an easy way out
Yet even then you still lied..
Maybe this is how it’s meant to play out
Oh well at least I tried…

Question And Answer

Because "&" was such a fan favorite. I decided to write "?" (Question) and "!" (Answer) as sort of a before and after. Enjoy...

?

I look at You…
But You don’t look at me
I ask myself the question….
Am I missing out on my Destiny?

I talk with You…
But You aren’t feeling me
I ask myself the question….
Am I missing a perfect Opportunity?

I reach for You….
But You don’t respond to me
I ask myself the question…
Am I being too Pushy?

I feel pain from You…
But You deny help from me
I ask myself the question…
Am I able to leave You Be?

I reach for You (again)…
And now You take my hand
So I ask You the question…
Could You see me being Your Man?

I talk to You (again)…
And now You communicate
So I ask You the question…
Could You believe in Fate?

I look at You (again)…
And now You stare at me
So I ask myself a final question….
Could You love what You See?


&
We touch,
 &…
Something comes over me
I feel this incredible sensation
For You, 
it’s a short burst of energy

We embrace, 
&…
My mind starts to race
I don’t ever want to let You go
For You, 
it’s only the right time & place

We kiss, 
&…
It sets my soul on fire
I want You to be mine forever
For You, 
it’s only a momentary desire

We lay, 
&…
I cannot believe it’s true
It’s everything I’d hoped for
For You, 
it’s just something to do

We kiss, (again) 
&…
Now it doesn’t feel the same way
I want to talk about it but….
For You, 
there’s nothing to say

We embrace, (again) 
&…
My heart beats fast
I know that our time is short
For You, 
it wasn’t meant to last

We leave, 
&...
I tearfully say my goodbye
I can’t wait to see You again but
For You, 
it’s all been a lie…

For You, 
I gave my all 
&…
For You, 
I gave my trust 
&…
For You, 
I gave my heart 
&…
In return,
You gave me lust…






!

I think to myself…
“It’s happening again!”
But some things you can’t prevent, &
The Truth is causing the pain…

I say to You…
“What is this thing exactly?
I’m really crazy about You!”
But Your Truth is You don’t want me…

I think to myself…
“It’s all been a lie!”
But the smoking gun is there, &
The Truth is hard to deny…

I say to You
“What exactly do you want?
I’m really feeling You!”
But Your Truth is that You don’t…

I think to myself…
“It’s not my fault this time!”
But the deed has been done, &
The Truth is no longer sublime…

I say to You…
“What can I do to win Your heart?
I’m really serious about You!”
But Your Truth is that we’ve grown apart…

I think to myself…
“It’s going to be over soon!”
But You won’t say anything, &
The Truth has left the room…

Samson's Complex



I've heard tales of the "Samson Complex"...One being that Samson was attracted to that which was meant to destroy him. Got inspired so here it goes...



The Complex…
“Making the mistake I never learned from…”

We always want
What, for us isn’t right
The complex is in full effect….
Seems I always fall for the wrong type…

You had me at hello…
It’s already too late
I’m yours now…
Can this really be my Fate?

What is this strange power you wield?
You have me under your spell
Try as I might to escape
I end up succumbing to your will

Could it be those eyes?
Or possibly it's those lips
Maybe it’s that hair?
Or most definitely those hips

I bet it's your skin
It's such a beautiful hue
It could be your voice
Or is it all of you?


It doesn’t matter what it is...
Cause by the end of the day
The complex has me wrapped up
And I’ll let you have your way….

R.I.P. S.J.F.


Ahh...nostalgia. I wrote this one in 1996-97. Seems like so long ago. Enjoy...
The Eulogy (R.I.P.)


… who said love never dies…

Here She Lies…
My Former Girlfriend.
Who Would Have Ever Thought,
This Is How It Would End.

I Remember How It Used To Be…
Before She Went Away.
I Loved Her More Than Anything…
Even More Than Words Could Say.

No One Lives Forever…
So I Am Not Sad That She Departed,
But It Is The Way That She Left
Which Gives Me Such Pain And Heartache.

She Wasn’t The Victim Of An Accident
Nor Did She Die From A Gunshot…
So A Clear Reason For Her Death
Is Something I Haven’t Got.

I Believe It Was Another Man,
Who Caused Her Untimely Demise.
This Murderer Wanted Her All To Himself,
And His Identity Was No Surprise.

He Was A Crafty, Scary, And
Sneaky Little Guy…
Who Took My Lover From Me,
And Made Her Love For Me Die.

This Wasn’t A Spur Of The Moment Abduction,
 It Was Over A Year In The Making.
He Just Waited And Waited For A Time
When She Would Be Ripe For The Taking.

He Used Treachery And Lies
To Pretend That He Was Her Friend,
Then He Used His Evil Influence…
To Cause Our Relationship To End.

Only I Could See Thru His Plot,
I Could Tell By His Eyes…
But I Could Never Truly Convince Her,
And He Took Her As His Prize.

After He Took Her Away….
And No Matter How Hard I Tried….
I Never Did See Her Again
…Until The Day She Finally Died.

Stranger than fiction...



The Truth…
In
 Life
It
Sometimes
Seems…

We
 Have
 Trouble…

Seeing
The
 Truth…

Recognizing
 The
Truth…

Uncovering
 The
 Truth…

Understanding
 The
 Truth…

Believing
 The
 Truth…

Telling
 The
 Truth…

Remembering
The
Truth

Reading
The
Truth…

&

Hearing
The
Truth…

But
The
Hardest
 Thing
Of
All
 Is…

ACCEPTING
 The
Truth
