05/26/2007: A Simple Saying
This is just a simple poem, the idea came to me a few weeks ago and kinda stuck. I got some feedback from some friend and delayed posting it here because I didn't want it to be confused with something else that was going on with my life.I hope you enjoy reading it.
I long to hear
The words I fear
So simple a saying
So powerful a meaning
A light in the dark
A lurking shadow
Three little words
Used with meaning, Abused for gain
I long to hear
The words I fear
A simply saying
“I love you”

10/16/2006: Your Gentle Touch
Reassuring caresses
Easing my worries, my sadness
Holding hands
Bringing joy to my heart
Clasping me close
Flaring my passion
Cresting my neck
Calming my tensions
Your gentle touch
Subtly enveloping me
11/13/2005: Embrace
I wrap my arms
Around you gently
Pull you to my chest
Warmth envelopes me
Tensions fade
Fears drift away
Time slows
I feel comfort
I feel loved
Sweet fragrance
Locks of beautiful hair
Fill each breathe
I kiss your brow
Look to your soul
I feel the tender touch of lips

11/13/2005: I see you, and I Smile
This poem is loving dedicated to Marie Webb. There was once a time, that when I felt I had reached the bottom, the merely seeing the person this poem is dedicated would not only lift me out of it, it made me soar.
I’m down in the dumps,
Tired and hurting,
But, I see you
And I smile
Just to see you smile back
I’m on the go
Busier than I’d like to be
But, I see you
And I smile
Just to see you smile back
I’ve got no reason to be happy
Nothing worth smiling about
But, I see you
And I smile
Just to see you smile back
Your smile makes my heart sing
It makes the pains go away
Makes things feel like there standing still
So every time I see you
I smile, because I know you’ll smile back

11/10/2005: Detached
I look but I do not see
I listen but I do not hear
I touch but I do not feel
Proceeding without purpose
Incoherent events passing
Detached from being
Isolated within
No control
No meaning
Searching . . . always
Wanting desire
Existence
Carefree passage
Acting
Questioning not the future

11/08/2005: The Noise Of Silence
Blazing noise
Fire burning in my ears
Head screaming with pain
The noise, the noise of silence
It rips at the very fabric of my body
Entraps my soul
My body and soul tormented
By the noise, the noise of silence
Time stands still
Fueling the noise
Festering the pain
The pain of the noise
Suddenly the noise
Distorted
Fading
Eyes focus, the pain gone
Blue and white swirls
A shining warmth comforts
Bird songs on the wind
I am set free from the noise, the noise of silence

11/05/2005: There is only here, there is only now … When I am with you
This poem is lovingly dedicated to Marie Webb. It was written around the time when we first started to get to know each other. It was a very good time for me and I believe her as well. I often think about those times, as we have went our separate ways...
Time slips by
The world turns on
There is only here
There is only now
Every thing fades out
No worries or concerns
There is only here
There is only now
Conversation fills the room
Emotions run wild
There is only here
There is only now
Burdens are lifted
Calmness arrives
There is only here
There is only now
Happiness and joy
Understanding and compassion
There is only here
There is only now
There is only here
There is only now
…When I am with you

11/04/2005: What is a Dream?
What is a dream?
Am I having one now
Or do I find myself awake
What a question
To be having one
Such a delight to awake soon
To be rid of the fear
To be sure again
To have had
What a delight
I shall soon fall asleep
To be happy once more
If only it were that simple
To have had, or to be having
A dream that is
For a dream is merely a passing of time

11/04/2005: Finding Peace
Scared and lost
Confusing emotions
Seeking understanding
Finding peace
Overcoming hurtles
Rising to challenges
Moving forward
Finding peace
Ramped emotions
Battles of misunderstanding
Sleepless nights
Finding peace
Finding peace
A difficult path
Finding peace
Choices to be made
