my finger
would press against
her tremulous smile
whispering
softly
it's alright
& I find myself
in the corner
of her eyes
holding back
her everything
with nothing more
than the promise
of my heart

would press against
her tremulous smile
whispering
softly
it's alright

I remained secluded
behind a wall
of virgin paper
& tears of black ink
a man child
waiting for reason
for maturity
for love
& only finding
those shadows
we hide inside
along with weight
of a 1000 goodbyes

I harvest
words & feelings
with each new poem
sometimes
it is a crop
full of might have beens
& never weres
or those words of love
I could never say
most often
it's about the tears
we have both shared
& denied
I harvest them all
in hopes
someone
takes them into
their soul

it was time
that would drain me
of my vitality
my dreams
at least that was
what I told myself
once you went away
it was easier
that away
rather than
blame myself
for letting you go
along with my heart
my soul

again
I feel the sting
of the rain
taunting me
reminding me
of all those days
long before
I ever knew you
but
I'm so much stronger now
able to press on
against the storm
the tears
yesterdays
because now
I know
the weight of your hand
is all I ever needed
to be a man
again
I feel the sting

I felt the sting of the rain
as if each drop
was another sin
I had tried
to wash away
but the rainfall
was another cruel lover
reminding me
I was never the man
I had hoped to be
nor the child
I thought I was

the quiet clouds
dress the autumn moon
as if she were
a fall bride
awaiting the dawn
to marry our dreams
with the promise
of our children
the seed of tomorrow

I smile
almost on cue
everytime
she says hello
& somewhere
in that hello
I find myself
a man
whole

at least until
the night comes
& all I have
left of her
is another dream
to keep

I would offer her
the four sides
of my essence
the man in need
the lover
willing to surrender
his soul
the dreamer
shaping all his tomorrws
in her name
& that boy within
who dares
to be more
than another shadow
along the edges
of her dreams

I whisper
I love you
into the summer breeze
hoping
praying
she would hear me
wherever
she may be
but all I hear
is the wind's laughter
what good is a dream
when you forget
to go chasing
the colours
it offers

she found herself lost
in her darkening mood
feeling alone
abandoned
with only the moon
caring enough to listen
to her tales of woe
& the dawn offered her
a kaleidoscope of colours
that her broken heart
had refused
to see

twilight
and I dance
in a kaleidoscope of shadows
as the colours of the day
paint along the edges
of my soul
and the promise
that is life
becomes
yet another song
for my heart to sing

I was smitten
by the thought of her
the promise of forever
I had discovered
in her eyes
the desire to taste
of her joy
I was smitten by her
this fantasy
that now echoes
in the reality
of my life
the woman I dare call
my wife

he was a creeper
a stalker
hiding not only
in the shadows
but
in those places
in reality
where the terror within
starts
and in the end
it wasn't the tears
of broken heart
that had stopped
but a bullet
fired by
a angry cop

he would hunt
his victims
through the shadows
of the city
stalking each one
as if it were
a deer
caught
in the headlights
of his madness
his rage
and falling before his knees
another victim
of his own
broken heart

she had made of me
her protective shell
not just to keep away
the shadows and tears
but to remember
when the dawn
was new
and love was a dance
made only
for us two

I would discover
that not all
erotic paintings
would be
arousing art
not when
Picasso made
sex seem
impossible
while Dali
made passion seem
like a memory
fading away
in time

every act
was death-defying
at least
that was what we were told
but how cam you fear death
when you body has long
grown cold?

it was a bluff
I wasn't ready
to say goodbye
but I needed things
to change
to improve
but she just said
ok
handed me her keys
and walked away
I guess
we weren't playing
the same game

I had grown frantic

afraid
I had said something wrong
done something wrong
but then I saw it

it's Monday
good God

my need to panic
is still a day away

you put your heart
into the earth
tilling it
as your father did
and father as well
knowing
that the soil
is but another lover
is whose caress
is your labor
and whose child
is the harvest
and you dare not ask
for anything more

we find the remains
of a ancient being
among the ruins
neither knight
king
or shaman
just a commoner
who sought to be more
and in his arms
the remains of the only one
he cared to adore

she thought
she had found my diary
but all she found
was pieces of my yesterdays
hidden within my poetry
truths disguised

she found something more
she found my soul

I await
the end of my day
when my labors
are rewarded
by children's smile
and the setting sun
promises me
another tomorrow
and the moon
lord the moon
promises those fantasies
that reminds
that life is worth
living

every sinful shade of guilt
follows
seeking to capture
the soul of man
but tasting
only his tears

the fact he was packing
a 45
didn't much matter

not when they
had him in their sights

was only a matter

she was livid
and the world be damned
how can any man
lay claim on her body
as if it were their own
it is hers to do with
as she wished
and any man who disagrees
must be stoned

am I paranoid
that I worry
as I walk the streets
not of people
living their lives
but those in uniform
so willing to lie
as they take away
my life
just because
of the accent on my tongue
or the colour
of my flesh
