A Man In Love
he waits for her
his princess
the woman of
his wildest dreams
yes, his kind
of woman
in due time
she will saunter by
he longs to
catch her eye
for in her eyes
he sees something
of beauty
something that
makes his heart
pound in his chest
oh how he yearns
to touch her
he wants to gaze
at her long legs
and hear her high heels
clicking on the pavement
knowing he is a commoner
among men he holds back
thinking she will
break his heart
if she passes by
without a word
then she comes round
the corner of the
station looking like
a goddess to him
the woman he has
dreamed of holding
in his arms
the one he longs for
late at night
his eyes wide awake
he has never
seen her looking
so absolutely stunning
he had the words
he would say
to her rehearsed
when he saw her today
yet now all
he could do was
stand and stare
at her dumb-struck
his soul on fire
as he watched
her wink at him
and climb aboard
the bus that
goes down town

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.

A Place I've Never Been
sometimes, i just don't want
to be me if being me means
never getting the love i need
loving too much and trusting
too far just to get hurt
all over again, no
i don't think my heart
could take another hurt
i am lonesome for a place
there is a name for it i know
it's difficult to explain but
i know the feeling all too well
it is a kind of nostalgia
for a place i've never been

A Poet's View
i see things clearly
and yet i am called a dreamer
yes, i am a poet who sees things
only another poet can see
these details of raw reality
one who views life vividly
i write because it is
part of my soul's work
and yet i am labeled insane
as long as life goes on
i'll unleash the verse erupting
inside my brain
