19/30

Going into tomorrow Thinking of the mistakes I've made today Wiping the slate clean To never remember a thing Tripping over baggage Leaving it at the door Walking away now I don't want it anymore

Hugging You

Holding on as long as I want Your voice in my ear Shuttering at the memory Betraying myself Letting the air out Just little hanging out The exchange happened so quickly And I enjoyed every moment As the minutes readily turn into hours I am relaxed with you Feeling the words flow Hearing the touch Seeing the gasp escape parted lips Lips awaiting a meeting of the minds Finding it hard to place a period Let the night end When it feels like it's really just beginning

Not like dancing

I found myself in the tango Dancing with danger Catching myself ready to strike He beats me to the mark Twisting and turning He began to control the dance Its become dark Twisted No longer enjoying the thrill The chase has become quick The capture happens Stifling Became to much to handle All Consuming Struggling with shadows What awaits you around the corner Catching glimpses of the matador Actually the captor now It began so quickly Should've thrown speed bumps in the way A stop sign for sure Seeing red Charging full speed like a bull The dance has become a chase And there is no more fun

those poems

Read a book of poems Thinking of ways I can write you down Capture you with my pen Ink on my notebook Colorful words of wonder Hearts and doodles Like a song sung to no music Raw Rustic Beautifully remembered Captured for all to see I am writing of you The one who has the strength of a bull The tenacity to endure to the end The one who doesn't give up The one who is my friend Can't leave you alone Don't want to Smile at the thoughts of you Saving pieces of me just for you For you to write down in your notebook Keep them forever.

Ordinary

Like the rain on Tuesday I stand still and await the rainbow Walking alongside the docks Skipping stones Well more like sinking them Remembering that each week brings A new Tuesday Unlike today But truly unordinary in its perfect way Makes me want to dance A gently sway Imagining the breeze that blows the cares away The drizzle gives way to the flood Drenching everything wiping the slate clean Run along now

Discovering

Discovering That friendship lasts a lifetime Distance doesn't change feelings And being with you is amazing You are the one who I can always be Myself with no questions asked The man who has shown me that true friendships have no bounds and when you care you show it You've opened your heart to me and I can't imagine going back to the place where there is no you no me no we.

Standing Still

Feeling like time is suspended Watching and listening with bated breath The thoughts of you fresh on my mind The look on your face The subtle glances you give Glances that follow the curve of my body then a smile escapes and there are those lips The ones that beg to be kissed... Thinkin thoughts that should Be tucked away deep Hidden from sight It all starts with a thought Thoughts of an amazing encounter Surpassed by none... And ah relished But for today I will just hold fast the memory of a dance, an embrace, your lips on my cheek my hand in yours and the butterflies...
