Poetry

It's not the sex,
I love the way you feel,
When I look into your eyes,
I believe everything is real.

I love the way you look,
When you say my name,
Your hand upon my thigh,
Makes me feel just the same.

I want to know you,
From your head to your toes,
Not sure what will happen,
But I want to see where it goes.

I want to touch you,
Whenever you are near,
I want to hold you in my arms,
Whisper I will always be here.

Wrote this for my Step-Sister when she got married...Put it on a nice picture and framed it.

You're getting married today,
I wish you a lifetime full of love,
I hope your marriage is full of happiness,
That as children you used to dream of.

As you stand in front of family and friends,
Look in each others eyes and say I do,
I want you to see a future of possibilities,
Waiting there just for you.

I want you to have family,
On holidays and all year round,
I want you to have financial comfort,
To keep you safe and sound.

I want you to have children,
Healthy playing in the yard,
Giggling and laughing,
With the family dog standing guard.

I wish you love and happiness,
Strong family and caring friends,
Two Rocking chairs on the front porch,
Side by side at each days end.

Very good stuff, Asis. See? I knew they were worth posting. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif I loved the first one, in particular.

I walk the path, trying not to get pulled into the weeds.
God never gives us more than we can handle.

Ok, I'll do few of the songs, since I actually am a bit proud of them *grin*

(Note: * denotes chorus)

Too Far Away

You're too far away,
For me to hold you now,
I want to reach out my arms,
And find you in them somehow.

I said it would be easy,
I know now that's not true,
Because you are too far away,
And I miss you.

*I miss you saying,
It will be okay,
I miss your smile,
When you look my way,
I miss those eyes,
That draw me in,
I miss your arms,
Enfolding me again.

You're too far away,
And I am feeling lost and alone,
I need to see your smile,
To find my way back home.

And I'm trying to make it,
Through another day,
I need your eyes to guide me,
But you are too far away.

A Thousand Miles Away

You're always there,
In the corner of my mind,
Time goes on,
And you're harder to find,
But the pain's still there.

And I think I have lost you,
I've learned to let go,
A memory sneaks up,
And I need to know,
Do you still care?

*And a thousand miles away,
You still haunt my dreams,
I've tried to outrun you,
Not far enough it seems...
And a thousand miles away,
I still here your voice,
I still see your smile,
I have no choice.
A thousand miles away.

Every street corner,
Held a memory for me,
Your favorite restaurant,
Where we used to meet,
I had to move away.

The days passed by,
It got easier each year,
I learned to live without you,
Without all the tears,
Living day by day.

*And a thousand miles away,
You still haunt my dreams,
I've tried to outrun you,
Not far enough it seems...
And a thousand miles away,
I still here your voice,
I still see your smile,
I have no choice.
A thousand miles away.

A certain Ninja Lesbian has bugged me into posting some of my poetry. Most of my poems are actually songs so not sure how well they read, since I *hear* them in my head. But I promised I would post some of them. I'll start out with the few poems I have...

------------------
- "How do you know the chosen ones? No greater love hath a man than he lay down his life for his friend. Not for millions, not for glory, not for fame... for one person. In the dark. Where no one will ever know or see." - Sebastion, Babylon 5

Oh and did I mention I am a hopeless romantic?

Poem for Dagny

I wanted to write you a love song,
But I didn't know where to begin,
I stared at a blank piece of paper,
And tried to find words in my pen.

I thought of how you laugh,
And saw your wonderful smile,
Got distracted from my task,
For at least a little while.

How I wish I could hear your voice,
On the other end of the phone,
And I long to hold you close,
Whenever you feel alone.

I wanted to write you a love song,
But I can't find all the words,
Your name keeps running thru my mind,
The most beautiful I have ever heard.

You calm me with your presence,
Without you I feel so lost,
You must have been sent from Heaven,
You are a bargin at any cost.

How I wish I could hear your voice,
On the other end of the phone,
And I long to hold you close,
Whenever you feel alone.

I wanted to write you a love song...

Very cool, Asis. I like these, too, a lot.

Thank you for sharing these with us... Very nice, simple and clear (I believe the word is eloquent... http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif ).

I liked the wedding one, and the thousand miles one the most.a

Another One...

Wrapped Up in You

I see it in your eyes,
Something words can't say,
Regret mixed with surprise,
Feelings that won't go away.

I used to know your heart,
Years before it would break,
Before time drove us apart,
Before love was a mistake / Before my big mistake.

I almost didn't come,
My first thought was to run,
To look into your face,
To feel your warm embrace.
I thought it can't be real,
The way you make me feel,
I don't know what to do,
Wrapped up again in you...

I feel it in your touch,
A part of you still cares,
I wanted this so much,
I've never been so scared.

Can I trust my heart?
Is it telling me all lies?
I don't know where to start,
Looking in your eyes.

Another good one, Asis. Very well done.

Should today be more like tomorrow?
Where is my strength, compared to yours?

sweet http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif. reminds me of a band called the Innocence Mission... which no one's prolly ever heard of as they went to my high school and are prolific and local all at once.

First of all, AsIs, you is my hero. I like 'em all muchly. Nothing wrong with being a helpless romantic. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

And, hey, I've heard of the Innocence Mission. I don't recall hearing them, but I've seen the name enough times that it has stuck.

seems to me i met the innocence mission about ten years ago or something like that. i worked at a college radio station and this girl i knew was wild about them.

keep the poems coming, AsIs.

take care

Thanks JaceSan http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

For my oh so modest post number 1000 I saved something truly hopelessly romantic!

I gave this poem to a red head who stole my heart for her birthday. Along with a rose quartz heart pendant. I put the pendant in a clear plastic box and the poem lined the sides of the box. *sigh*

Piece Of My Heart

Here's a piece of my heart,
Please treat it with care,
Nurture it and in time,
The rest will be there.

I give it with love,
For you to always have,
To remind you of me,
Good times and laughs.

Love isn't always easy,
But this heart I share,
And when you wear it,
A piece of my heart...
Will always be there.

I Remember You

I remember your eyes with mischief,
I remember your smile lighting up the room,
I remember your red hair on my shoulder,
I remember you.

I remember how your laughter would warm me,
I remember your smell would make me high,
I remember my heart would fall every time,
We had to say goodbye.

I remember waiting in anticipation,
I remember each time you couldn't get enough,
I remember how wonderful I felt,
I remember love.

Due to the way I had done Piece of My Heart, I only recovered two verses of the poem. I had put it in verses around the box that I had given to my GF with the heart necklace in the box. But as I was driving home tonight the first verse, which had been missing popped into my head! *big smile* It was driving me nuts, so having it pop into my head was a relief!

So without further ado, the revised...

Piece of my Heart

Here?s a piece of my heart,
To wear on your chest,
Treat it with care,
And I will give you the rest.

I give it with love,
For you to always have,
To remind you of me,
Good times and laughs.

Love isn't always easy,
Treat this heart with care,
And when you wear it,
A piece of my heart...
Will always be there.

Hmmm, I think I wrote this four years ago...It was apart of my letting go process, a baby step actually.

Goodbye

I have to let you go now,
It?s been a year since you?ve been gone,
Your smile?s weighed heavy upon my heart,
I haven?t seen it in far too long.

I have to let you go now,
I hope you?re in a better place,
But I was feeling down today,
And I?d really love to see your face.

*And I know you?re up in heaven,
Won?t you smile down over me?
So I can tell you I love you again,
And I?m so glad that your spirit is free?

I have to let you go now,
Sorry is all I can say,
Sorry that I can?t hold you now,
And I couldn?t take your pain away.

I have to let you go now,
I hear the angels calling your name,
Please ask them to watch over you,
Until we meet again.

*And I know you?re up in heaven,
Won?t you smile down over me?
So I can tell you I love you again,
And I?m so glad that your spirit is free?

I can let you go now,
It?s time to say goodbye,
I?ve finally cried all of my tears,
And now my eyes are dry,
Elizabeth Goodbye.

Another Song from loooooooooong ago http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif

Make Me

Make me,
A believer in you,
I need so much to,
Believe in someone.

Make me,
A part of your dream,
I'm caught in between,
And I need some fun.

I don't know why I'm always in doubt,
Feeling left out,
Running away.
I don't know why I can't take a chance,
Can't learn to dance,
Can't seem to play.
But I want to play with you.

Make me,
Understand how you feel,
Believe that it's real,
Believe in something.

Make me,
Start life anew,
I want to with you,
You make my heart sing.

I don't know why I'm always in doubt,
Feeling left out,
Running away.
I don't know why I look in your eyes,
My heart it just flies,
And I want to stay.
I want to stay with you.

Make me,
A believer in you,
I need so much to,
Believe in someone.
