Dabblings....

2009-05-31T21:18:00.000-07:00

Why did you have to enter my life
if all you would do in the end is leave?

Why did you have to tell me that you loved me
if all you would do in the end is lie?

Why did you have to hold me tight
if all you would do in the end is kiss me goodbye?

Why did you have to kiss me so passionately
if all you would do in the end is make me cry?

Why did you have to enter my life
if in the end all you would do is leave?

2009-05-31T21:04:00.000-07:00

Never have I felt a deeper love than this
You gaze deep into my soul
It makes me lose my breath
I see the future in your eyes
A promise of more to come
You hold me so close
I can feel the beat of your heart
It's like a sweet lullabye
Your touch tingles my skin
And awakens my senses
It's euphoric
It's amazing
It's intoxicating
It's tantric.

2009-05-31T20:53:00.000-07:00

I never expected this
to hurt so bad.
When you left
you took all I had.
Every day my life
feels worse.
Only the whiskey
can take away
all the pain.

Sunshine won't take
my blues away.
There's no comfort
in what my friends say.
When I lost you
you took away my heart.
Now it seems my whole world
has been torn apart.

Let Love Go On

2009-05-04T14:28:00.000-07:00

It's all about the way
Love goes 'round
Love shared by special friends
It's a cycle and it's unbreakable
Take my hands and let's carry it on...
Let's not be fools and let it go...
Let's not be blind and dream it on...
Let eternity take its course...
And let what we have linger on.

I Love

2009-05-04T14:16:00.000-07:00

I love to see you smile
And I love knowing that I caused that smile.
I love to see you happy
And I love knowing that I caused that happiness.

I love to look into your beautiful eyes
And I love the way that I fall into them.
I love it when you hold my hand
And I love having the courage to grab and hold yours.

I love to tease and torment you
And I secretly love it when you tease and torment me.
I love it when you touch me
And I love to touch you.

I love rediscovering how handsome you are each time I see you
And I love realizing how beautiful you make me feel.
I love wanting so badly to kiss you
And I love the way you want to take things so slow.

I love the fact that we are like best friends
And I love the fact that I am yours.
I love so many things about you
But the most important thing is:
I love you!

Better Untouched

2009-05-04T14:04:00.000-07:00

I look at him
And a smile grows on my face.
Just to remember the time
When he could've been mine.

As he gives me a hug,
While he puts his arms around me
I remember what I would have given
To only have a chance with him.

But now I see him
In a different light.
Yes, he still means the world to me,
But now its in a different way.

His friendship means a lot to me,
Although we never had much anything else.
Now I see why God doesn't answer all prayers,
Because some things are better left untouched.

If Only I Knew

2009-05-04T13:54:00.000-07:00

It is you I think of
My fingertips touching your lips
Moving slowly to your cheeks
And lightly over closed eyes

A breath sucked in
And slowly exhaled
Is my touch painful?
My fingers keep moving

I can feel your breath on my face
As you move closer
My heart beats faster
Faster

Anticipation
Waiting for your lips to touch mine
Waiting
I wet my lips
I'm waiting

Your lips touch mine gently
Too gently
Hearts beat faster
Echoing

I lean forward
Strong hands on my back
Bring me closer
Not close enough

Mouths open wider
Hands move to my neck and up
To cup my head
Fingers snake through my hair

You hold on tighter
Your grasp pulls me forward
My hair is loose now
Twisted through your fingers

Thigh touches thigh
Your hard chest is strained against me
Hands slowly fall away
I open my eyes

Looking into yours I see myself
I hope you're thinking what I am
I wish I only knew
If only I knew

Last Night

2009-05-04T13:51:00.000-07:00

Last night
I watched a teardrop
slowly trace its way
across your lovely
cheek.

It hovered a moment
at the tip of your nose
as if to tease me
and make me feel ashamed
for hurting you so badly.

Finally it broke itself free
and came to a rest
on your soft pillow
to join countless others
of its kind that I
never knew existed.

Misunderstanding

2008-05-28T21:01:00.001-07:00

why do you pretend like
I don't matter to you
when you're all that
matters to me?

And You Still Wonder

2008-05-28T20:57:00.000-07:00

Our eyes meet,
magnetic...poetic
your lips touch mine,
erotic....electric
arms encircle me,
euphoric....idyllic
together we,
synchronic....rhythmic.

And you still wonder....
do I love you?

A query you should
never have to voice,
those words remaining within,
answered by the tenderness of touch,
by sweet emotion,
by thoughts mirrored
in chestnut irises,
that brush softly across you,
painting images deep.

The Old Chest

2008-05-28T20:53:00.000-07:00

I open the old chest
and what do I see?
All of the things
that are special to me.

Poems and stories.
Pictures and such
All of the things
that mean so much.

Things that remind me
of good times and bad.
Things that remind me
of old friends I once had.

Sometimes I wish
I could put my life in rewind.
But I know I have to close the old chest
and leave the past behind.

A Symphony

2008-05-28T20:49:00.000-07:00

Join me for an evening
where a warm autumn breeze
brings us a symphony
blown through the trees
of crickets and their violins
to make up the strings
and the frogs with their horns
shall account for the winds
with the percussion of thunder
to beat out the time
while the nightengale sings
a forgotten old rhyme
all brought together
in sweet harmony

The Viking

2008-05-28T20:44:00.000-07:00

A powerful radiance is felt instantly.
Flames of passion dance in his eyes.
He makes my heart ache with desire.
His words are music to my soul
that fills me with love and longing.
His mind holds the wisdom of ancients.
His heart holds compassion and love.
His lips hold a promise of sensual delights.
His arms provide security and warmth.
He is as humble as a beggar on the street,
yet as noble as a Viking chief.
There is a sense of mystery about him;
But his life, he has opened for me to see.
He is a truly beautiful and amazing man;
He is the best of all my dreams.
I will love him throughout eternity.
With not part, but with all that is me.

In My Dreams

2008-05-28T16:49:00.000-07:00

In my dreams I can see
you smiling back at me.
You take my hand and
lead me to the dance floor.

In my dreams I can
see the twinkle in your
eyes as you gaze so deeply
into mine.

In my dreams I can
feel my heart skip a
beat as you gently
brush my face with
your lips and kiss me
so sweetly.

In my dreams you are
perfect.
You would never even
think of breaking my
heart and tearing my whole
world apart.

Though my dream seem so real,
I know that I must wake up
and face reality.

I miss you more than
you'll ever know.
But as I wake up I
see an amazing man
lying next to me...
sound asleep...
A man that you will
never be.

Our Love

2008-05-19T20:57:00.000-07:00

our love is a
wasteland
of
promises in vain

of past
of present
of future
nothing

rotting
quietly
in my palms

One Moment

2008-05-19T20:52:00.000-07:00

I feel the craze of music.

A piano blasting notes in all directions,
and slowly
taking them back.
Candles all around
to illuminate the full moon's shadow.

Lost,
drowned in glasses of sweet wine
my bed has seen you and gone.
Never the truth has smelled so good.
Never your eyes have said so much.

Never,
in one minute,
a wall of silence could be broken.

Of your rose only the smell,
Of your skin only the silk.
What a night to say farewell.

A Tear Fell

2008-05-19T20:44:00.000-07:00

I shed a tear today
Silently, I felt it fall
You caught it
Shared it
Held it
Felt it
Then
suddenly
it wasn't
so big
after all.

Untitled

2008-05-19T20:22:00.001-07:00

I just need to be alone right now
I need to let all of this settle down
I need to sort out all my feelings
and all your words
before I can face you again
I'm just so hurt & confused
I don't even know which way to turn

I replay the moment in my mind
reliving every memory back in time
wondering where we went wrong
and why our love fell apart
but I still can't ease the pain of my broken heart.

Untitled

2008-05-19T20:18:00.000-07:00

A song comes on the radio
and makes me think of you
I remember your voice
as you were singing.
Tears form behind my eyes
but I'm holding back my tears

I can't let anyone see
I can't let anyone know
just how much I'm missing you

Everytime I hear that song
my heart skips a beat
and suddenly it's hard to breathe....

A Desire Within

2008-05-15T12:02:00.000-07:00

An undying desire within me,

teases and tantalizes,

stripping me of any inhibition.

Delicate senses are revealed, senses unknown to even myself...

body pleading and burning, passion uncontrollably surging...

yearning-to touch

to explore

needing-to taste

to feed

aching-to give

to pleasure

anxious-to take

and be taken

heated bodies united

writhing

trembling

thriving

submissive eyes

filled with emotion

pounding hearts

driven by devotion...

a desire within.

I Wanna Know

2008-05-15T12:01:00.001-07:00

You told me that it wouldnt be like this

That you wouldnt up and leave on a whim

I believed you when you said this

You led me to believe I could trust you

Trust you with my deepest darkest secrets

Secrets that I have told no one else

Secrets that will continue to haunt me

What we had was close friendship

That sometimes fell into that easy intimacy

It somehow felt right with you

You felt so good to me

The way you kissed

The way you touched me

The way you would look deep into my eyes

I enjoyed every minute we spent together

And our long conversations

They meant a lot to me

And I thought that you felt the same way

If anything I thought we would have a close friendship

That would last and not just fade away

It seemed to have happened so suddenly

I never had any inclination or warning

When you told me of the news it hurt me

I felt like I had been stabbed in the heart

Stabbed by someone who I thought I could trust

Who I thought I could believe

Who I thought would always be there for me

You led me to believe that

You said that you would not leave me out in the cold

And all alone

You said that your friendship was forever

You said that no matter who came along

That you would be by my side

That was all just a big lie

I wanna know what happened to make you change your mind

I wanna know who she is

I wanna know why she demands all your time

And why you cannot leave her side

Your affection has now proved to be very fickle

I wanna know why you think that I am expendable

And why you havent even tried to make things right or even consider my feelings

I Didn't Mean To

2008-05-15T11:57:00.000-07:00

I didn't mean to do it,
didn't even notice I was,
but now it's much to late,
and I am yours... body, mind, and heart.

I didn't mean to fall in love,
I thought I was playing it safe,
didn't realize how much you meant to me,
until I had already fallen for you.

I didn't mean to lose my heart,
I thought I had it locked away,
didn't even see that it was gone,
till after you had stolen it from me.

I didn't mean to lose my mind,
I thought I was being so logical,
didn't notice it being filled with thoughts of you,
and now you are here to stay.

I didn't mean to give you everything,
I thought I was protected from such foolishness,
don't know why I thought I'd be immune,
but now it's obvious that I did everything,
that I thought I'd never do.

2008-05-15T11:53:00.000-07:00

Please read these and take this to heart. I have learned a lot in the past few years. I have gone through many changes...for the better, and I came out wiser than before. I have been working on these for the past few weeks. I thought I would share them with all my friends!

Coffee Lovers

2008-05-15T11:52:00.000-07:00

Silently,
He smiles to himself,
As he thinks of her,
Sitting alone in her kitchen,
Sipping coffee.
She thinks of him too,
But little does he know it.
Shamefully,
Both pass each other every day,
Without passing on the knowledge,
Of their inwardly turned love.
Time and time again it happens,
For who has the courage to say it first,
Or do they just enjoy,
Their secret love affair?

Single Red Rose

2008-05-15T11:51:00.001-07:00

Late last night, you entered her room,
You touched her cheek and whispered some words.

You left her side and wandered around,
Looked at tokens and gifts from a life long forgotten,
A jar filled with dried petals
A box full of old letters
Shelves full of dusty books...

To her side you returned and held her hand
You kissed it gently and a silver tear dropped on to the satin sheets
You wonder why you are crying...
When you were never supposed to get hurt
You were never supposed to feel

Scared that you will fall deeper in love with the sweet princess,
You wish to leave before she opens your heart more to her love
She gives her love so completely,
She chooses no one in particular.

You turn to look at her face,
And bend down to kiss her
Suddenly turning away, from the beautiful sight ...

You leave.
A single red rose you leave on her bed,
Thorns all pulled out,
A bud just beginning to bloom.

One Slow Dance

2008-05-15T11:50:00.000-07:00

He takes my hand and leads me onto the dance floor
as a beautiful country song begins to play.
He looks into my eyes, smiles shyly, and then spins me around.
He places my arms gently around his neck.
We sway together in perfect unison to the rhythm of the music.
I feel like we're floating on air.
It feels so magical.
Everyone watches us as we dance into our own world.
Nothing else seems to matter right now.
You slowly pull me in closer to you.
Our eyes meet....I get lost in their depth.
I melt everytime you look at me like that.
I look into your eyes and know exactly what you are thinking.
You kiss me sweetly and full of passion.
My heart begins to beat faster and my head starts to spin.
I lay my head on your shoulder and breathe in the scent
of your sweet cologne...still swaying to the music.
I never want this moment to end.

Inclination

2008-05-13T22:42:00.001-07:00

Beautiful brown eyes

Glazed with emotion

Naked

Stronger than the strongest words

More potent than the deepest kiss

More encompassing than the scent of expensive cologne

Adoration spilling from them

Like droplets of rainwater from a flower petal

Passing no judgement

Drinking in the simplicity before them

Heart commanding that they see

Nothing but beauty

Imperfection doesn't exist here.

A Song......Maybe?!?!?

2008-05-13T22:41:00.000-07:00

I used to trust so easily

I believed anything I was told

Always wanted to believe the best

Never wanted to surrender to my intuition

I always have been able to tell

When things don't seem quite right

But I never would admit it

Didn't want to know the truth

Lying to myself was always easier

I've been taken advantage of

It seems that the men I've loved the most

Have hurt me the worst

Why they lied and cheated on me

I'll never know

Slowly I would see the truth

Unfold before my eyes

No longer able to run from it

Betrayal is the worst feeling

How could someone I cared for so much

Hurt me so bad

Chorus:

I'm trying

I'm trying so hard to trust you

I know that I love you

But I'm so scared

I'm afraid that this could be another lie

I can't take anymore head games

But I will try my best

And put my heart to the test

I have a feeling that this could be real

And I pray every night

For the truth to be revealed

Now I am slow to trust

I've learned that I can't believe what anyone says

I want to trust, but I am so afraid

I'm afraid I'll be hurt again

So I've built a concrete wall between

Myself and everyone else

I don't want to open myself up

Only to be hurt once again

Don't want to put my heart on the line

Don't want to wear my heart on my sleeve

I've been hurt one too many times

I want to trust you

You don't seem to be like the others

You seem to be real

But in the back of my mind

I always wonder if you're lying

If you're playing and manipulating me

If you're gonna love me for a little while

And just up and leave

I want so bad to trust you

It's just that I've been lied to so many times

And I'm learning to trust you a little more every day.

You have never given me a reason to not believe you.

Aching

2008-05-13T22:40:00.000-07:00

Aching to be next to you
Wrapped in the safety of your arms.
With your loving hands carressing my face or
Your fingers wrapping themselves in my hair
Wanting to feel my cheek pressed up against your chest
Listening to your heartbeat and trying to match
the rhythm of your breathing.

Untitled

2008-05-13T22:39:00.000-07:00

The cool, crisp feeling
Of an autumn's breeze
Gently swaying
The tall willow trees
The brilliant glow
Of a full moon's light
Shining off the river
Where we walked that night
The distant sound
Of a singing bird
As we were talking
I hung on your every word
The gentle caress
Of your hand in mine
Wishing to prolong forever
Wanting to stop time
These scenes they live
In my heart so true
Reminding me of
How much I Love You

Always on My Mind

2008-05-13T22:38:00.002-07:00

As the rain pours down
Theres hardly a sound
Only the hush
Of the darkness of the night~

I can feel your lips on mine
I can smell your cologne
If only I wasn't
Laying here alone~

I close my eyes
Listening to the rain
Beautiful dreams fill my mind
The sensual, romantic kind~

Surround me with rapture
Engulf me with pure desire
Tempt me with pleasure
My body's on fire~

Can't help but want you
Can't help but taunt you
Cause darlin
You are always on my mind~

Only a Dream

2008-05-13T22:38:00.001-07:00

Flesh against flesh,
soul intertwining with soul,
heart against heart,
blood comfortably warm no longer cold,
lips pressing strongly against lips,
so sweet yet daring,
no words are spoken,
for they silently lay underneath the warm saliva from our tongues,
sweat on top of sweat,
your air evaporating into my lungs,
breaths speak to breaths,
in bold rough ways,
our bodies become numb as if we've been a certain way for days,
calmly and slowly your love deeply penetrates into my heart,
we've become fully connected,
blind folded into the dark,
our hearts trust one another so they close their eyes too,
my heart begins to pump faster,
for I begin to really feel you,
my soul begins to hold your soul really tight,
you give me every bit of love you have and you give with all your might,
pleasure with sweet pain arrives so sudden,
oh how I can't get enough of this spontaneous lovin'.
With the sun rise everything becomes real,
I can no longer see or hear what I heard,
I can no longer feel what I've been longing to feel,
but yet something tells me that you left me,
yet not physically but in my sweet dreams...
your irresistible love was

Unfinished & Untitled?!?

2008-05-13T22:36:00.000-07:00

I found this today whie going through my trunk in my office. Lots of old memories in there.... anyway....this is something I came across & thought I'd post it. Let me know what you think. I am not sure if it seems finished. It's a little rough. I'm not sure how I feel about it....of course, I am not in that moment anymore....

You chased after me relentlessly

Tried to do just anything

To get a little piece of my attention

You pulled out all the stops

Never caring what others thought

All you wanted was my love and affection

It took a while for you to win my trust

I fought battles in my head

But I finally gave into your spell

Why did you want me so bad

Why did you make me give you my heart

Why did you try so hard

When in the end all you'd do

Is tear my whole world apart

I gave you all of me

It took all that I had

I loved you openly

Holding nothing back.

The Phone Call

2008-05-13T22:35:00.002-07:00

Silence yawns like an overcast sky
through the pauses in your telling.
A swelling hiss, the muffled press
of the receiver on your cheek,
the feedback from my halting
breath on the mouthpiece,
vast expanses of silence between
the things you say, comprised
of all the things you won't.

I could give the silence meaning
if I thought there were any point.

Untitled

2008-05-13T22:35:00.001-07:00

I don't want to see your smile
everytime they play our song

I don't want to feel your body
your warmth
everytime you kiss me

I don't want to give you the chance
to hurt me again
but I don't want to
let you go.....

Haunted

2008-05-13T22:34:00.000-07:00

I've been trying to get over you
it's just been so hard
no matter how hard I try
You always seem to come
to mind

I'm haunted by your
memory
The city seems to call
your name
Visions of you throughout
the day
The radio plays songs we once
knew
I'm haunted
haunted by the memory
of you.

A Part of Me

I can't seem to get over you
You invade my thoughts and dreams
You are the reason for my restlessness
I have tried so many times
to move on
but somehow I keep coming back to you

You
with those dark brown eyes
and that delicious smile
the lips that I've been longing
to kiss
the arms that used to hold me
so tight

The day you went away
you took with you
a part of me

Another Untitled

I have so much that
I want to say
but I don't even know
where to begin
or what to say...

No words are exchanged
just confused glances
there are questions
in your eyes
but maybe you're afraid
to ask
maybe you are
scared
maybe you will feel
so much
and don't want to
admit it

Maybe you feel
nothing at all...

Turn the Tables

2008-05-13T22:30:00.000-07:00

I'm not really in the mood tonight
to listen to your lies
I'm so tired of your excuses
and all your alibies

You must think that I'm a fool
for belivin' what you say
and you're just lyin' to yourself
when you think that it's ok

You run around on me
right into her arms
you tell her she's your only one
that it's written in the stars

I know what's goin' on
I'm not a fool
I'm just waitin' for the right time
to break the news to you

I'll turn the tables, baby
right back on you
I'll be fine without you, baby
and you'll be the one to lose.

Drinking the Wind

2008-05-13T22:22:00.000-07:00

This poem was inspired by a moonlit ride on my beautiful buckskin horse one warm fall evening. When my heart was crying for some release and I needed to feel free and alive again. This is dedicated to my beautiful quarter horse gelding, who gives his all, and loves me so faithfully. I love you so much Dezi!

Night is falling
Moon gently moving across velvet sky
As it casts shadows and soft light upon us
It’s just you and I
The earth rises up to meet us
Wind swirling over us
As we leave dust and leaves in our wake
Pounding across the sleeping earth
Hooves flying
Haunches churning
Mane stinging my eyes
The blood pulses through me like liquid fire
Adrenaline rushing through my veins as we hit top speed
I’d give anything to be you
Though I know I’ll never be
So, I resign myself to a two footed fate
As I borrow your speed
And mimic your grace
Leaning forward into your stride
My body one with yours
Moon shining full upon us
The only sounds are you and I, and the crisp autumn leaves
Together as one

You and I

You
Grace, beauty, and speed

I
A mere mortal, tormented and despaired

Yet for those brief moments
When we become one
I breathe you
I feel you
I am you

A mighty force of muscle and bone
Unstoppable and free
The wind catches my breath in a gust
Drying my tears in it’s wake
Troubles lost in a whirl of hoof, mane, and muscle
Together we drink the wind
My spirit is revived
My soul is renewed
My mind awakened from it’s slumber
Together
