Crazy Love
this feels awful
i'm not sure loving you
is worth the pain
you can either make
or break my day
by your attention
or lack of it
you are quickly
becoming something
close to an obsession
i like everything there
is about you
your eyes say it all
you move about zombie-like
my enchanted master
deep down i know
you lack the courage to
tell it like it is
so instead you stare
sometimes winking
at your love slave
willing to risk nothing
you can keep your
hungry eyes and empty arms
your well-kept secrets
i'll keep my fantasies
and shattered dreams
then crawl back into my shell
and silently mourn for
the love which is just
out of my reach

Dog Poetry
When the whole world's got you down
and the blues keep coming around
do not fear for i am here
and just for you i'll play the clown
i'll woof woof woof and howl
until i get you to smile
then i'll stop right at your feet
with a red rose between my teeth

Yesterday's Pain
she stands at the window
cheek pressed to the pane
while the last trace of summer
becomes drenched in the rain
her eyes are set
in a ghastly stare
while the day wears on
but she doesn't care
there is work to be done
which she hasn't begun
and she takes a deep breath
then begins to hum
slowly the evening arrives
and trying hard not to cry
she sighs wishing
that she weren't alive
and she knows that
tomorrow will be the same
for all she can feel
is yesterday's pain

A Part Of Me
Women bleed while
men eat ice cream...
and other things
to get over someone...
crying takes the
sharp edge off the pain
for a while warding
off the numbness
knowing all the while
it is futile and
foolish for me to think
i could ever really
get over losing you
who was and always will be
such a part of me.
