Frozen In The Moment

Can I stop your heart
And live in this moment forever?
Bend space and time
Hold off on continuity all together.
Let us
You and I
Put a stop on the flow of time
And cherish every moment of this
This fleeting romance

Frozen in our lustful laden tracks
Give me your frost bitten kiss
Let me hold you in my loving
Embrace for an eternity
For this moment let’s feel absolute.

I want you to stay right there
Me, right here.
Let me admire your
Crystallized form of perfection.

I just saw you yesterday
And have you in my arms today
I don’t want these feelings to ever
Go away

I Loved The City, But The City Didn’t Love Me

I asked for morning sun rays
Instead she gave me morning showers
I expected to come outside and walk through grass
Trees and daisies
Those expectations were replaced with barren land
And concrete ground
I opened my arms to welcome the fresh air from the outdoors
And coughed up fumes and gas

A Tragic Love Story (From A Males Perspective)

Loving you has been a burden

Weighing down on me like a load of
Dirty laundry
Dragging along this emotional baggage

…Waiting for the rinse cycle

Draining is what it is.
From my black New York Yankee fitted
Down to the tippy tip
Of my toes
My body needs rest; I am weary.
I have no idea where this story goes.

It has been a World War III
And baby I got up my guard.
Your mind is plagued by these false suspicions
And the way you are
Attacking me
With your finger pointing accusations
Spitting words at me like bullets,
You don’t fight like an amateur.
I learned to be cautious
With my words and gesture

I’m pulling back my troops
There is no point in arguing
With you
I can’t even get a word in
You are trying to make me out to be a fool
And I refuse to jump through hoops
For something I didn’t do

Together
We are a nuclear explosion
Two substances that should
Have never been mixed
I’m afraid after we are done
There will be nothing left
We are hexed

We are a tragic love story
Waiting to be written
Except I’m no Romeo

“For you and I are past our dancing days”

I’d force feed you the poison myself
…Well maybe not
I don’t think I’ve got it in me
To take you out,
But

“Tempt not a desperate man”

I will stab the heart
Of this relationship
With a double edged sword
Sorry, for there will be no happy ending
If we continue in this warfare

You are trying to salvage
Something that is long gone.
Broken
I just don’t see this surviving
Without the bonding of trust
No need on holding on to us
We are a lost cause.
I gave up on forcing a love
That didn’t fit.
Our super sized egos
And overbearing pride
Had bust at the seams
What’s left are shredded garments strewn across the floor
We didn’t have a winning chance it seems.

Every athlete has to retire at some point.
All this time
Putting all this pressure on our knees
Did we really expect them to hold us up?
Maybe it’s time we hang our jersey up
There comes a time when it is expected of us
To leave the games behind.
Let us bow out gracefully.

I’d rather be an old man alone,
Than to live a life unhappy.

My Beloved

My beloved
My love for you is ineffable
My one and only love
How can I describe the way

My love for you stretches further than the equator
And I am completely submerged in yours
I'm falling off the edge of my mind
My thoughts
I'm on the brink of loosing it all
This thin line between sane and insanity
You got me
My love for you is hotter than the degree of molten rock
Its so cold that it burns
It vast deeper than the unknown of the universe
I'm so taken
I would travel across this land
To be with you
To touch you with my fingertips
Get lost in those big ol' eyes of yours
Lay on the succulent softness of your lips

My darling
Take my hand and come with me
Journey into the forbidden of unwed lovers
Let me give you a taste of how I feel for you

My love
A full moon isn't quiet as stunning as seeing a smile creep on your
face.
A face that I compare to the Mona Lisa
And the Artwork of Michelangelo
Your beauty surpasses waking up each morning
watching dawn
If you asked me if my love is sincere
I would have to catch my breath
Before I would recite these lines all over again

This love is brimful
This love is pure
The amount of adoration I have for you
Exceeds further than the life I have in store

Sweetheart
My deep and ardent affection grows deeper
Than that of the passion that we share
I can spend the rest of my life
Talking about whimsical things
But this here
Professing my love for you
Seems so much rare

Color Me Blue

Color me blue
I'm in sorrow
I miss you
My other half
With your leaving
I am bruised

I use to dive into your eyes
Swim for hours and never get tired.
Get lost into your soul
And still feel at home.
Pain tugs at my heart
When I think of why we fell apart
Our pride will never allow us to lose;
To bend and take fault
For our actions
And the words that we used

Tell me you love me,
Then take your words back
Show me you care,
But never take it to the next step
I take one step forward,
And you take one back

Like the economy,
We have fallen into recession
And I see no hope of us ascending.
Neither of us willing to let go of our egos
I'll take my heart back
And release yours
To the canopy of stars
Where I sent all my wishes
Of us lasting

I will always love you,
But I realize you will never love me
Like I do you.
Love reciprocated
Love unconditionally
I'm starting to think
that this can only be found in dreams

Test of Strength (A coming of Age Story)

I thought
Age had overcame me
Bludgeoning me with all of its responsibilities
Striking me with much force
A bat of blunt reality

A hit to the head
For this I wasn’t prepared

And expectations of what one must know
Because with age, not treading too far behind there is wisdom
And everyone is
Plucking my brain bare
If it were up to choice they would leave nothing there
Trying to find out all that I know
Challenging me
Pushing
Seeing how far they can go
Oh they didn’t tell you
Its gets harder as you grow

You start with abundance
A childlike innocence
Your whole perspective
Changes when you fall victim
To heartbreak, yes
A heart aches.
Deception and lies
Tricked and fooled
You have just been used
And just like a cut healed leaving a scar
These things shape you
You become immune to
The phony
You see right through
Those who are counterfeit

Now your skin is thick

In life people have tested
I’m sure at one point they have guessed that
I didn’t go through life’s hardening rules
Because I’m so joyful, I put a smile on my face
Never letting the negativity slow down my pace
I tend to shock them, you should see their face
When I flip the roles and pull out that bat of blunt reality
Putting those motherfuckers right back in their place.
