What to Say
Here I am writing
What to say
What to say
Here I am laying trying to put on paper what’s in my heart.
What to say
What to say
It’s not hard, a lot of people do it
What to say
What to say
Why can’t I think of a way to tell you what I want
What to say
What to say
All I can think of is this:
What to say
About you
What to say
About me
What to say
About us
What to say
What to say
A Couple
Do you love me
Yes I love you.
Do you want me
Yes I want you.
Do you need me
Yes I need you.
Do you trust me
Yes I trust you.
Do you think I’m attractive
Yes I think you’re attractive
Have things changed
Yes things have changed
Have we grown apart
Yes we’ve grown apart
Have we lived
Yes we’ve lived
Have we given it our best
Yes we’ve given it our best
Have we seen it all
Yes we’ve seen it all
Do you still love me
Yes I still love you
12 O’clock
At 12:00 O’clock I’m writing these words
I’m letting you know what’s on my mind.
I can’t make promises to you
I don’t want to be like the rest.
I can only tell you what I know.
You called me your best friend,
That has never been said to me before.
You told me you love me
That has never been said to me before.
Our friendship means so much
I don’t expect anything from you other then what you are.
I can’t give you anything other then myself.
Many have said these words are too strong, they may be,
but they are what’s on my mind.
When our bodies meet there is no greeter feeling that goes through me.
It is unreal the feelings I have when we touch.
I will be by your side for as long as you want.
I will be there as your friend or as your beloved.
I can’t make any promises so I won’t.
Understand that there is nothing I wouldn’t do for you,
as your friend or as your beloved.
Some have called my words too powerful; they could be,
but they are what’s on my mind.
I will respond to you in anyway we agree.
I would give you all that I have,
But all I have of any concern, is my heart.
Be gentle with it, it compares to only to the finest crystal, or the most delicate China.
Never forget these words; they come from somewhere inside me.
It is the place where all my memories of you are held.
Most important, remember these words come from:
Your best friend
And your beloved.
I will always be to you one-in-the same,
As you are to me.
Daniel
You live behind a wall of truth
I live behind a wall of dreams
We speak together
We share together
You call out to me
I call out to you
We listen together
We laugh together
You reach out for me
I reach out for you
We play a game together
We plan a gathering together
You touch me
I touch you
We bend to our desires together
We burst from our desires together
You live behind a wall of truth.
I live behind a wall of dreams.
Slipping Away
I feel it slip
At times I know it’s trying to leave me
I feel it slip
At times I know it has already gone
I feel it slip
At times I wonder if I will miss it
I feel it slip
At times I wonder what will happen to me
I feel it slip
At times I think I will miss its passing
I feel it slip
At times I think what will I do without it
I feel it slip
At times I want to lock it up
I feel it slip
At times I want it to be safe
I feel it slip
I feel it slip
I feel it slip
No don’t leave, don’t take your love from me.
Reflection
I’m sitting here thinking
Thinking about you
Thinking about the short amount of time we’ve spent together
time that I’ve enjoyed
Thinking about your smile
your beautiful smile
Thinking about your eyes
your stellar eyes
Thinking about your lips
Your gorgeous lips
Thinking about the little things you’ve done
little things that mean so much to me.
Thinking about the moments we’ve shared
moments that have seemed like hours but have only been minutes
Thinking of how I look forward to seeing you
Thinking of how I look forward to talking with you
Thinking of how I look forward to getting to know you
In general, I’m just sitting here thinking about you.
Morning Coffee
The coffee is warm in my hands
It warms my soul
I had to say goodbye to you, but the coffee warms my hands
The morning sun is warm on my face
It warms my soul
I couldn’t save you from your own darkness, but the sun warms my face
The morning wind kisses my cheeks
It cools my desires
I tried to help yet you pushed away everything I offered, but the wind caresses my cheeks
The morning air fills my lungs.
It fills me with life
I tried to love you more than any other. I wasn’t enough, but the cool air fills my life
The morning mist touches my body
It helps me to feel
I tried to show you goodness and light as often as I could, but the mist makes me feel
I have a warm soul
I have cooled my desires
I have a full life
I have felt in my life
I had to say goodbye to you.
In the Morning
The light comes through my window,
I look over and I see you asleep
Laying so innocent so sweet.
As I remember our night
I think of you and how you felt against my body
Laying so innocent so sweet.
I look down at the beauty that is yours.
I realize that we are now joined.
A bound that can not be broken,
Not by man,
Not by law,
Not even by god
Our bond is LOVE.
As the light comes through my window
I see you now more clearly,
Your lines,
Your shadows,
Your contours,
I see you!
But wait…
What has happened?
The light that comes through my window is fading.
As I look over
You are no longer laying there so innocent so sweet.
You are gone!
Were you my imagination?
Were you real?
Or, was our bond not what I thought it was?
I Failed
I watched you lie there
There was nothing I could do
I watched you slowly melt away
There was nothing I could do
I watched you be looked at and watched
There was nothing I could do
I watched you be tested
There was nothing I could do
I watched the tubes be removed
There was nothing I could do
I watched the family crumble
There was nothing I could do
I watched you slip off to eternal sleep
There was nothing I could do
I watched them take you away from me
There was nothing I could do
I watched the false and phony words from people who treated you poorly
There was nothing I could do
I watched them come and go with a smile and a laugh
There was nothing I could do.
I failed you
I failed you and I’m sorry
I failed you and I’m sorry and I can’t look at them
I failed you and I’m sorry and I can’t look at them and I’m angry
I failed you and I’m sorry and I can’t look at them and I’m angry and I want you back
I failed you and I’m sorry and I can’t look at them and I’m angry and I want you back and I miss you
I failed you and I’m sorry and I can’t look at them and I’m angry and I want you back and I miss you and I miss them
I failed you
I’m sorry
I miss you and want you back – I love you.
How do I
How do you say
I like you
How do you say
I like your smile
How do you say
I think you’re nice
How do you say
I’m sorry
How do you say
I’m glad to see you
How do you say
I wish you were here
How do you say
I made a mistake
How do you say
I’m sorry
How do you say
I want you to forgive me
How do you say
I still love you
The Kiss
Your soft mouth engulfs me
A shudder runs through my spine at your touch
You massage my tender flesh
Your dark eyes meet my gaze
Your kiss deepens
A tingle causes me to gasp at your touch
You run a hand over my burning figure
Your ruby lips tease my skin
Your kiss intensifies
A jolt of energy passes between us at your touch
You pull away from my body
Your gentle smile rips away from me
Your kiss vanishes
A content sigh escapes my mouth as you remove your touch
Interpretation
There you sit smiling
I want to smile too
But I don’t know why you’re smiling – you can’t hear and I can’t speak.
There you sit talking
I want to talk too
But I don’t know how – you can’t hear and I can’t speak.
There you sit laughing
I want to laugh too
But I don’t know why you’re laughing – you can’t hear and I can’t speak.
There you sit confused at me
There I sit lost from understanding.
I’m sad
Now, there you sit teaching
I try to learn
But it is very slow – you can’t hear and I can’t speak.
Now, there you sit telling
I try to comprehend
But I understand very little – you can’t hear and I can’t speak.
Now, there you sit playing
I try to play too
But I play very badly - you can’t hear and I can’t speak.
Now, we try to understand
Now, we try to talk
I’m happy
I am no longer lost from understanding.
You are no longer confused with me.
Alas, I still don’t always know how
Alas, it is still very slow – but we learn together.
