Stole my HeartYou make my heart race
more times you ever know
and I swear that you took my breath away
when the first time I saw you

The love that shine
more than this life itself
I swear that you were the one
the moment you stepped into my life

You took my heart away
like it wasn't even that hard
and I swear with each passing moment
you were always meant to be the one for me

I love you more than words could be told
cause it doesn't matter when its you I need
The Love that shines like no other
I swear you will always be my number one

You stole my heart
brought me a smile
and in return
I will always Love you

Once MoreSoft satin caresses, sweet lips touch,
sending heat down my spine. Fingers
intertwine, brushing mouth, cheeks,

hair, leaving nothing behind. Desire
controls, your lust craving more,
hiding the picture. Moving lips

show mind’s hunger, representing
wavering ways. Sick of twisted motives,
such childish play, now say her name

once more, rekindling blazing flames.
Red drops of passion puddle upon floor,
draining white fingertips damp, speak

once more. Deepen fresh wounds
with twisted smiles. Say her name
once more, I dare to hear such sounds.

If not, hold your tongue, your eternal
peace, and never move those lips from mine.

Door Bell (Oftentimes)Oftentimes my door bell rings
I slowly open up the entryway
to Anger waiting anxiously, alone
but these days I just shut him out
don't need him inside my house -
more broken things for me to sweep

Please don't bite me anymore - no words
your poisoning upon my face was faint
tracing of a misty, deep amphetamine:
at first a bursted tinge of open-heart,
but soon the dose grew smaller than a seed -
molehill next to mountains from my past

I used to think of you as something strong
green and awe-bright - cradled by a thousand years
but holding you I felt you bend and slither
watched you swallow whole the things I gave
to you - so now I see you st

FaultlineJust one sound falling from your mouth,
And, my lips will burn
From the salt and the wounds you've caused.
The cause you never even meant to start.
I know you didn't mean it.
A sad truth, not every innocent endeavor
Will be met with amnesty.
The regret and the hurt
Will shake the earth beneath my feet.
Split the ground and raise it to the sky.
Your voice, a penetrating barritone.
Boom.

The fine lines of a lie can be emboldened.
The omissions, the stories you feigned.
All of the faults, always mine
My cliff to fall from, a thousand times.
Boom.

I want to believe you
Didn't mean to cause
A stringent distrust that will stain us both.
I

Tulips in WinterI leave surly kisses on your cheek,
Oh how you hate them so.
I know what sits on your tongue,
Cherries and strawberries softly tucked,
in secret caves, wrapped tight round your fleshy fruit.
This subtle letter you write, dominates my alphabet,
Of up and down.

Now please, set the sugar in cup and plate,
I require a soft hand, experienced with anesthesia and scalpel.

In My Lover's ArmsIn My Lover's Arms*
for Puabi
"He takes me with him everywhere, and back home for warm love."
Puabi
My mind and my eye are set outdoors
Although i wander, i ne'er will go far
My heart is always warning me
That someone sweet awaits at my side
So i hold her tight in my arms
As i walk through my door
I spend the daylight hours away
But i must return ere night
"The wind can roar and howl
The pouring rain can rain
Yet i shall not be in my home
Till i lie in my lover's arms again"
"Beloved!Come and relax with Puabi now."
*from the words of John Donne

honest poetryWhy is it so hard to love
why can't I
act the same way as I do amongst friends

why must I lie in front of
the one I want to be with for the rest of my life

I feel like you lie the most
to the ones you most love

you want them to believe
you're perfect
so you lie
so they're safe
so thei're happy

but are you happy?
a question easily forgotten
one i've made sure
to pay more attention to

because I can't preteed
that I love you
that I need you
when I'm not happy

I deserve happiness
I deserve light
just like you do so deserve it

i want to wake up smiling
instead of wondering

one day i will know
one day I will look to you and say
that I'm hap

No JewelryNo Jewelry
For Puabi
If, one day, someone gave me a Sapphire
I would give it back
No sapphire can ever match the blue
In her eyes
If someone gave me a Ruby
I would give it back
No ruby can ever match the red
In her lips
If someone gave me a Diamond
I would give it back too
No diamond can ever match the glow
In her heart
I have her
Who is worth more than jewels

What, When and WhyWhat, When and Why
For Puabi
What.
What will ensure that she stays alive?
What will heal all her wounds?
What will keep her at my side till death?
What makes her smile?
Love.
When.
When should a man give his love to a woman?
When does she give her love?
When do I give all my love to her?
When does she smile in that love?
All day long and all night.
Why.
Why should a man give his love to a woman?
Because she will give it back.
Why do I give my love to her?
Because she always gives it back.

My words, your touchWhy do I mind,
If you can't say more than one word at a time?

I'm not perfection, far from divine.
But I wonder how you are,
I ask if you're fine.

I know that you love me,
I know that you care...
Blah blah blah, and romantic despair.

Could you please just take the time?
I need to hear that you'll always be mine.
Words are my currency,
But my body is yours.

Can we compromise?

One word per touch;
It really isn't that much.

Let's swap:
I
Want
You.

For:
I
Love
You

And:
How
Does
That
Feel

For:
How
Are
You
Feeling?

Words wrapped in emotion are what I need to hear,
The feeling of my skin is all you can bare.
An eternal tug of war, it alw

It will get better.Don't you love those moments where you idlely just stand by and let some monster decapitate your soul? You tell yourself constantly that "It will get better. I won't let anyone cut out another piece of my heart," but the shadows only continue to grow in the dark corners of your life.

Remember the obnoxious argueing back and forth over the stupidest topics or because someone gave your loved one a flirtatious look or a message? You told yourself "The fights only make us stronger. It will get better.."

I did..

Remember the times your held your ground when he showed his affections towards another, then would get angry and told you not to inter

You, veiled winter blossom, suYou,
veiled winter blossom,
summer tulip
iron shiver.

Honey shapes your lips,
springy bitterness
designs your face.

Delicate in your repression,
naive in your anger,
innocent of your passions.

Your hands cry beauty,
yet, ungracefully, fall your pearl tears.

Now you laugh at me,
hiding yourself,
ignoring yourself.

Now you turn your eyes away,
- silently enough to make my whispers screams.

Spreading your virgin wings, Fear
crushes our desires.
And drowning in beauty,
seduced
humiliated
through your fear I cast away.

- silently enough to let my sorrow melt in dawns.

love notesyour fingers carve canyons in my spine
digging to the deepest reaches of me,
and i am exposed.

you are pulling me close enough to you that
it is a surprise that we do not melt together;
your skin becomes mine; mine, yours.
we are one and the same.

you are changing my geography;
i am shaking, an earthquake.
you have broken open my fault-lines.

i have been told that bites, craters,
are lovenotes on the skin.
what, then, are these,
these canyons that trail my back?

you have left scars on me:
not scars that wound,
scars that change.

love far awayour time zones may be diffent
our location may be diffent
our cities may be diffent
our lives may be diffent
but i still love you and i always will

Locked awayThe smile on my face locked the words in
jailed by joy, they peered out through ivory bars
clattering cups of consternation
pacing cavefooted
back and forth to no release

I wanted to let them go
to unlock iron jaws and let them run
scurrying toward expression
striped prisoners aching
searching for a podium and a prayer

They could see your sun through slits
syllable breezes blew and cooled corruption
still
they planned escape
if only to be by your side

Instead of freeing them
afraid to do the selfless thing
my thoughts walked back down the hall
clanging trumped cacophany
I hung the keys upon a sturdiness again

One day I'l

Smoke and secrets

Literature / Poetry / Romantic / Post-Teen (Mature) / Free Verse

She pulled me close and whispered
"thank you for not being normal"
I blushed and grinned, mid-hug
as the world warped back into strange wonder
and love again became that thing of beauty,
that secret place where we hid from everything
where every day was blissful,
an eden within an eden.
walking unnoticed through crowds
entwined in heart and hand
only feeling each other
not paying attention to the scattered thoughts
of saddened souls who frowned around
outside this place we chose to face.
15 years we've been here,
while others look and cannot see -
the barrier is all too clear
yet we still peer through smoke and mirror
and smile
and point
and laugh
and embrace
and kiss when no-one's looking...

Still nutso-crazy 'bout my wife after 15 years...it causes me to write things like this

~blue-strawberry Oct 12, 2007

You make me start to believe love can last

Thank you. An excellent poem!

~x-outsider-x Oct 14, 2007

Awww thank you! Glad I could be inspiring

~dreamingshadow Oct 12, 2007

There are some really touching and clever lines in this, such as "entwined in heart and hand", and "scattered thoughts of saddened souls", which made me keep reading despite the poem not having a defined form. Your sentiment shines through the words you write, which makes it so good to read, well done!

~x-outsider-x Oct 14, 2007

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it

~Naseni Oct 12, 2007

very romantic, i love it... Especially the not normal line

~x-outsider-x Oct 14, 2007

Thank you

The whole poem stemmed from the "not normal" line!

~livebeyond Oct 12, 2007

i hope one day to have been married fifteen years and still feel this way.
congratulations.
