Only For A Moment
only for a moment
as the rain
fell on my face
your body long and lean
played on my memory
it was winter once more
as we lay
in each others arms
fireplace ablaze
so far away that place
once was none as laurel farms
i was still
so unsure reaching
for you in the night
words so softly spoken
as your heart beat
close to mine
then the sun
came shining and warmed
the sand beneath my feet
as quickly as
you came i felt you
leave my memory

Our Fate Was To Part
i do not speak
nor dream of you
seldom do i
think of you
but when i see you
my mind is schemeing
my heart is bleeding
and i am praying
my eyes won't betray me
for my temptation
is so great
for a moment
i long for
your tender embrace
for a moment
i long to touch
your sweet face
for a moment i think of
your warm lips on mine
as lastly i dream
of our bodies entwined
then i remember
the lies you so
frequently told
ah, i remember
the nights and how
they grew cold
i think of
the pain that
pierced through
my heart
your love was like poison
and our fate was to part

Poetmaster
the aged poet
a prophet and
master of the
art of connecting
the right words
making them into
electric lines
creating perfect
poems
knows just where
the invisible line
divides tameness vs.
wild
he is himself electrifying
and that is why
he is the poetmaster

Sometimes
it makes it difficult
to love you when you
withhold things from me
like you are keeping
secrets and things
sometimes
it is sad to see
you trying so hard
to be somebody because
we're all somebody
trying to be our best me
sometimes
we used to have such fun
you could make me
laugh till i had tears
filling my eyes
i understand you be ill now
sometimes
so many sad memories
floating in my mind
like how you stayed
out all night and
i woke up with an empty
space beside me in bed
i still think about those times
sometimes
