They say that people fall in loveI beg to disagreeIt’s really more a catapult:You’re launched, then flying free Swirling, twirling through the airThe world around you spinsLike nothing you have ever seenAt heights you’ve never been You catch your breathSuch beauty!Surrounds you and withinYour happiness just radiatesYou feel your life begin Whether you are young or oldThe newness is so crispEverything is wonderfulEverythin...

Shatter my illusionsTrample on my dreamsShow me that the you I seeIs not a real being Be a thoughtless dullardAn egotistic cadBe the one about whom IWas warned of by my dad Break my heart in piecesUtter only liesCheat and flirt behind my backWhile I sit home and cry Instead you are a wonderAn ongoing delightSupportive, entertainingAdoring, sexy, bright You’re there each time I need youYou bear my lashing outYour smile is...

My god! I can’t believe it!How did you get in here?I thought I had securitySeal the perimeter I knew you might be comingYou’re never gone for longSo I took precautionsAnd I see I wasn’t wrong Did you sweet-talk someone?Or forge a master key?Did you scale the buildingTo reach the balcony? Now that I have found youI need to make you goWill you do it quietlyOr will you tell me "no?" I hate to threaten use of forceBut it’s be...

You felt itSo did IWe both know what it wasA sound that isn’t heard  Signals the end of love A mating call reversedCoupling undoneA sound that isn’t heardThat says we’re not in love A note that speaks of emptinessLike an abandoned homeNot of an open spaciousnessBut something there, then gone With each two, it is differentNever twice the sameBut clearly recognizableWhen it strikes again A knell of such finalityA whole that...

You chased it awayBut it's back You smothered its breathIt just laughed You brought it to sea in a boatBut tossed overboard, saw it float You burned it alive but it roseYou buried it deep but it grows You prayed for reliefNo avail You reasoned and pledKeened and wailed What is this thing that won't leave?Why can you get no relief? The reason there's no place to hide?You can't run from what is inside The only thing left yo...

Create my escapeAs I stand hereWithout even moving an inchAs soon as you see me, I’m travelingAway from the world I live in The brief time that we spend togetherAn eveningA coffeeA nightWhisks me awayA mere look at your faceAnd I’ve touched down in some parallel time You light up for me when you see meIt makes all the risk so worthwhilePerhaps such encounters won’t heal meBut they let me break free for a while.

Perhaps just the way that you said itPerhaps it was just what I heardPerhaps what you meantWas not what you saidOr I just read into your words Why must it be so confusing?Why can’t we say what we mean?Or when we doWe don’t recognize truthAnd imagine it some other way Sometimes I’m tired of listeningTo things that are said in my headIf I take face valueWhen I’m talking to you  What are chances that I’ll be misled? So promi...

Unless you hide yourself awayYou’ll likely meet one on most daysYou know the kind - they seem quite niceIf not, then they are harmless types You share a laugh, a latte, lunchOr if online, you talk enoughThat you think this person’s coolAnd you’re no rubeYou’re no one’s fool They share with you their historyYou start to wonder “can it be?”That your new friend, a decent sortCan hate so many friends before? Every boyfriend w...

Paint my lips by kissing meSculpt me in your armsThis room shall be our studioWhere we create our art Too fluid to be capturedAnd set within a frameToo sacred to be notedOr garner any fame Yet lasting and indelibleThroughout both our livesEach of us a masterpieceIn the other’s eyes.

When one is not enough You lie Fearing commitment Wanting less Lonely Wanting more Suffocated Excited by the new Afraid to lose the old Spread thin Juggling Never satisfied And finally Old.

We circle likeWe’re packing heatSlow movement inThen quick retreat Not knowing if we need to drawWill there be peace or all out war? We forward feintUneasy laughThen back awayBut don’t relax I look at youYou look at meNot knowing what the other sees You could be friendI could be foeContinuing our strange limboYet neither makes the choice to fleeAnd so we circle, endlessly.

I cannot bear to see youHurting in this wayCome here and let me comfort youAnd chase your fears away You must know I love youWhy do you doubt me so?I have been here by your sideWhen it matters most Don’t I show affection?Provide stability?Remember anniversaries?Furnish all your needs? The others? They mean nothingJust foolish wild oatsYou know I’m never gone for longI always come back home A fling and it’s all overYou’re...

Evil is as evil does  Wicked witches speak in tongues  Spewing forth their bilious spells  Creating their special hells You may think these crones exist  Just inside the tales of Grimm  Sadly, though, that's not the case  A Witch will often hide her face The ugly hag is in the heart  While casting out her nasty charms  The clue is not a pointed hat  Or warty chin  Or midnight cat Since where they are you might not see  A...

Cancel meI've had my runI offer nothing newBetween my glossy coversLittle interests you You've been skimming over meFor months and months, it seemsOr leaving me abandonedWhile you do other things When you first discovered meYou grabbed me off the standAnd anxiously awaitedMy pages in your hands Each time that you saw meAnother true delightAnd so overwhelmed were youYou felt that it was right To go and put your order inDel...

I never loved you Silently Recited in my head I never loved you Quietly Just to hear it said I never loved you Said again To speak those words out loud I never loved you Forcefully Though no one is around I never loved you Wondering When what I say is true Can be a source of pain each day And break my heart anew.
