Potion Not Poison

Potion Not Poison

I lay here looking for answers
Believing they might be written on my ceiling
Staring into the eyes of exhaustion
Fighting it back for the ability to lay awake
Just one minute longer.

This evening, all is not right with me
With you, with us, or anything at all.
Passion was overcome with anger,
Raging in your voice and boiling in my skin
Escaping at unstoppable rates.

Words of fire and poison
Flew from our mouths like a thousand bats
Spooked from the hidden corners of a dark cave
Fleeing from their intruder whilst upsetting
Any and all beings that surround them.

We fight like professionals you and I,
Trained, precise athletes with a mission in mind.
We throw care to the wind and attack
Like hawks on a fresh carcass
Famished by the heat of an unforgiving desert.

My eyes readjust to the darkness of my room
My heart racing from the primal vision
Of our heated and unruly arguments
As i continue my search
For cause and reason of our action.

My battle with exhaustion carries on
My body begging me to surrender
But I fear I cannot for
Although I want to, I'm obsessed with solving this mystery of our relationship.

I fear the solution to our dispute
Is not only reasonable, but also simple.
For instead of the lone mentality,
The desire to fight until death,
We must surrender the urge for victory.

We, you and I, must jointly agree
To work for common goal, and not destruction
Jointly vowing to come to the realization
That peace and well being may exhist
Together, between you and I.

Swear with me, my lover,
Resolution may be ours- and soon,
By stalemate of the war in our words.
Kiss me with lips of good potion not poison,
And we shall be better because of it.

Early Hours

Early Hours

I hope you know how hard this is
For me, tonight, without you.
I can't put the feeling to words
The emptiness inside of me.
The quiet and still around me,
The darkness surrounding my body.

Tonight, I rest my head without you.
I close my eyes only to open them again,
As if to pray for your appearance,
As if to beg some higher power
To bring you back to me
To put us together again.

However my prayers shall go unanswered
As if at this later hour of yesterday
Nay, early hour of 'morrow,
The powers I look to lay dormant,
Invisible to my searching eye,
Deaf to my incessant cries.

In the darkness of the new day
My tired and aching body shall remain alone
Isolated from your sweet scent and soft touch
Waiting for the sunrise to bring you back
So I may prove the fire in my soul for you
Burns strong through nights of separation.

True To My Word

True To My Word

He might have redder roses
Or might have all the jokes
He might have bright white perfect teeth
And be sure of everything he knows.

I might not have the perfect way
Of trying to catch your eye
I might not always say the right things
But I hope you know I try.

He might drive a nicer car
Or live in a beautiful house
He might have himself tons friends
And plans for every night you're out.

I might not have what you need
At the drop of any hat
But I won't rest until you're happy
And I'm true to my word about that.

He might have all these things
Or a way with what he says
He might try and win you over
But don't let it get to your head.

I might not always be perfect for you
And putting up with me's a chore
But baby not he, nor anyone other than I
Will ever love you more.

Promise

Promise

Promise me you'll never lose sight of us
Of how we are
Of what we become when we're together

Promise me you'll never forget the feeling
Of us touching
Of how it feels when we're making love

Promise me you'll never lose sight of our potential
Of the life we could live
Of a house, two kids, and everything

Promise me you'll never forget the sensations
Of our bodies intertwined
Of the rush of sexual tension and release

Promise me you'll never forget I miss you
Or how much I love you, baby
Don't lose sight of that.

Blue Skies

Blue Skies

Only lying under blue skies
Is thunder far away
Only looking into your eyes
Is where I want to stay

Only being under blankets
Are we warm and safe
Only for you my love
Is my heart there to take

Only after late nights talking
Are my eyes able to close
Only hearing your soothing voice
Am I sure of everything I know

Only being with you baby
Does everything make sense in my world
Only you and I forever sweetheart
Promise you'll always be my girl.

Definition

Definition

It's hard to define forever.
Eternity, or until the end of time.

It's hard to think kissing another,
Or your lips with someone else's but mine.

It's hard to define passion,
Lust, or fire between souls.

It's hard to think of being alone,
Or how quickly my heart would turn cold.

It's hard to think of mornings,
I might roll over with no one to touch.

It's hard to define romance,
Flowers, or sensual and slow thrusts.

It's hard to think of life without you,
Miserable, bitter, and alone.

It's hard to define perfection for me,
Without you, and a place we call home.

Patience

Patience

I am not asking for anything absurd,
for anything unnecessary,
for much at all.

I am asking for a little time,
for a little passion,
for a little love.

So baby love me like I love you,
Care for me like I care for you,
Hold me like we always do.

See the passion in my eyes,
Feel the comfort in my touch,
Listen to the patience in my voice.

I'll never let go of this,
Baby I'll never say goodbye,
Hold on forever, sweetheart, hold on.

Word Games

Word Games

Empty until full
Broken until fixed
Lost until loved

Alone until together
Now until forever
Nothing until you.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow

Tonight when the sun sets,
I want to know you're there with me,
Even if we're not touching,
I want to know you wish we were.

Tonight when the sun goes down,
I need to know that I'm your everything,
Even if we're not together,
I want to know you wish we were.

Tonight when the moon comes out,
I want to know this is what you want,
Even if we're not gently kissing,
I want to know you wish we were.

Tonight when the stars shine bright,
I need to know you think of me,
Even if we're not talking,
I want to know you wish we were.

Tonight when your eyelids close,
I want to know picture me,
Even if we're not asleep together,
I want to know you wish we were.

Tomorrow when the new sun rises,
I want you to know I'll be there,
Even if we're not actually together,
I want you to know, I wish we were.

Dancing

Dancing

It's cold - almost unbearably so,
Harsh winds push frozen rain towards the ground,
Black skies mirror the feeling of my soul,
As the door closes between us without a sound,

Neither of us want what's happening,
Not you nor I want to be apart,
I can't bear to walk away from you,
I can't stand to see you with a broken heart,

But pick your head up my love,
Wait a moment and give me one more chance,
Together we dream the dream of forever,
Together into eternity you and I will dance.

Introduction

She's the inspiration for everything.

They're all for her, and about her.

The love of my life.

Enjoy,
