Trying not to love you

If I told you that I love you
would you stick around to reply?
Would you run for the hills?
Would you leave me high and dry?
Cause I swear, I didn't mean to -
I even tried not to.
But honestly,
I think I should blame you.
Because if it hadn't been for you -
your kind and caring eyes
your subtle touch
and your stolen kiss one moonlit night,
maybe then, I would have stood a chance.
But as it is, if it hadn't been for you and all you are
you wouldn't have woken the sleeping corners of my heart
and maybe then, I wouldn't have failed
when trying not to love you.

A Truly Living Identity

I search for the achievement
For a truly living identity
That will open the gate
Between Creator and me.
Find nature the best one.

I search for the first hand knowledge
That will inculcate in me the sense of duty.
And will arouse my sense of empathy.
Being a naive entity that'll never hurt me.
Find nature the incomparable one.

I search for the supreme institution
For moulding the superb personalities and enrichment of life
That will help to establish a friendly rapport
Between Creator and me.
Find nature the unique one.

Nature
A silent caring one -cares us always
Shares her speech, her feelings.
Thus, it unravels the mystery of the universe.

PROGNOSIS

Did you foresee it? It was coming.
The freaked guilt of failed attempt
to get yourself kissed by a flame in the
androgynous temptation of dark.

One legitimate delay in dying of moon's
tears? The weather had fizzled out during wild
winds and the summer was slowly starting a
whispering campaign against the clouds.

My enemy for sweet revenge will not
halt the attack.A bouncing vision will
start the fire engulfing the singing
trees of drenched art. The floods of intimatcies
were coming.

Oceans

tides roll in through my brain
sane crashing films
foams of memories spill
out over under until
pulled back pushed and sinking
creaking gasping
sputtering waves flow deeper
soul screeching vibration
thunder bearing dreaming
floating below ships
downward spiral ascention
fluttering pouding rythyms
recieve suck and take it
push fight replay it
grasp tug breaking
pummling driving exhaling
open your eyes and drain it
leeking from your nose
washing past your lips
burning from insides out
sticky salt
drowning on breath
breathing out liquid
coughing up the thoughts
the panic and the need
lungs beat frantic
as the rest of life recedes

Forgotten Mom

All I talked about was you
The months before you were home
Not a call or a text, but on facebook
I find out your home like everyone else

She got the surprise
A hug she could not even give
I’d given you hugs and kisses
And said I’m so proud and cry

I know you never meant to hurt me
But that night I cried like a baby
A mother needs to know she’s loved
Just like a son needs to be proud of

I wanted to know when you’d be home
So I could arrange some time to spend
You could not give me that
Yet it was the night before you left

You still haven’t changed
Still avoiding situations
Like not knowing how to tell people
You just want to hang with friends

But I’m YOUR MOM dammit
I think I have the right
To see you more than once
The 2 weeks you’re home from Kuwait

Maybe I wasn’t a good mom
Is this really what you think
But you won’t tell me
Cause you’ll avoid that just the same

She texted me to let me know you’d be home
So I called and texted,
I’m home on facebook you said
Yet no reply I got

Your actions speak louder
Than the few words you say
I see where I stand
In your small world you stay

** I wrote this after my son in the Army come home the first time on leave...

Frustration

Ah yes, the word frustration
It’s the maker of impatience
The words calm and collect
Have no relation

Just when you think all is right
You find yourself waiting for that moment
That check, that special person to arrive
Failure to deliver, trust taking a dive

When you count on something
And it does not happen
You get upset and uptight
You say never again

Then you do it all over again

You Bring Out The Best In Me

I can say things I never thought
You bring out the best in me
I can feel things I’ve never felt
You bring out the best in me

I can see things more clearly now
No more stress, only calmness
I can laugh out loud and be a little goofy
And it’s nice to know you really “get” me

The comfort I feel is unmatched and surreal
I can be myself and not worry to conceal
I have someone I love and need
You’re in my thoughts and heart indeed

Even as we sleep I feel I must reach
To make sure you’re not a blissful dream
The love we make, the passion we feel
Is like no other I have felt that was real

What's Done is Done

What's done is done
You can't go back and change it
It's time to move on
You can't rearrange it

You've paid your price
And it's time to proceed
No matter what your vice
Unsteady as it seems

You'll rise above anything
You rebuild your self-esteem
You feel like you're grasping
At a big ball of string

One string at a time
One day at a time
You're growing into
A better person in time

Under My Skin

Why do I let you get under my skin?

Like “tick” that buries in and stays there
Last night I laid in bed and stared into the dark
Wondering “was it love?”, then I chuckled No, not by far

Why do I feel like the biggest loser
When you revel in my ineptness
When “you” were the abuser

Your hand never rose yet I felt your slap
Leaving scars on my heart
Your words…Oh how they struck

Maybe it’s because you made me feel
Inadequate as a wife and mom
Sometimes you had a heart of steel

Maybe it’s his way of re-assuring his decision
So he can say that divorcing me
Has made him a better person

Or is it his way of making sure
That I continue to pay for the hurt
He feels everyday with regret

Pure Love

Give me the chance to love again
I promise to be a better man
I’ll give you all the love you’re worth
Please don’t give up on me
I won’t be a waste
I love you eternally, plus a day

Give me a chance to start again
I don’t want to feel I’m losing touch,
Think I’m doing it right,
When that, for a fact, is only true in my thought
And not actions…
I’m a better man now
I will love you better

Thanks for given me a second chance at being a better lover
I’ve known now, what is important
I promise to put God and Family first…,
…To put you first
Thanks for the opportunity to see all this,
What’s most important!
I love you

From this point
I’ll be the man I’ve never being.
The one that has put you first,
In actions and doing
Cuz, that’s what’s important…
I LOVE U
