Hey, I've posted some of my poems in different threads...and now I've decided it's time to put them all together in one...so here ya go:

"How Much?"

How much do I love thee she always asks
Then sits and waits until I give my answer
Normally I see this as such a task
But now I know what I'll tell her

I love you more than there are stars in the sky
even more than it takes peas to cover the earth
I'll love you until the day I shall die
and for every picture of us together on the hearth
I love you more than strands of hair on every head
more than there are letters in books of all days
I want you to hear every word I've said
and to treasure the feeling of my loving gaze

There's no way to say how much I love you
Or to exhibit everything you mean to me
I think you should know that it's true
That I love you every bit as much as HE


"Short One"

One beat; one rhyme...
All stands still in frozen time
One look; one touch...
Who'd have thought I'd care so much
One kiss; one night...
Every moment with you feels so right
One right; one eternity...
Forever you'll be my everything


"Her"

Here she comes, that one I love so much
What I would give to just feel her touch
Her moves so elegant and graceful
Choosing me should not be so tasteful
Her silky dark hair draping around her face
Nothing has ever done anything such grace
Her eyes so deep and caring
I almost feel as though I've lost my bearing
Her curves move together as one
Of which could be compared to none
Her soul so sweet and so kind
that I could never live up to her
But I will make her happy, I am sure
I'll love her with all of my being
And hopefully she can see what I'm seeing
To grow old together, for all of time
Telling her all she wants to hear that's on my mind
She will be mine soon, holding on to me
And from there we'll be able to see
How much we mean to each other
And stay together forever as our other's lover


"Pain"

One grey cloud in a bright blue sky
made me turn around and wonder why
Was it worth my time and state of mind
to make myself believe you were so kind

What made me believe these things were true
like the feelings I felt between me and you
Now my time and strength were all in vain
leaving me with this familiar pain

Lonliness creeps through my door
and plagues my mind like and open sore
Now I stand to face each day
Forever with me this pain will stay



this one's untitled (wrote it after my best friend died)

I've got this sick sense the end is near
and I begin to question why I'm here...
Every day lived is one closer to death
and I await the glorious moment of my last breath...
All life's pressures have begun to fall
and I feel as though I can barely crawl...
The better it gets the worse I feel
and these pains I know will never heal...
After the death of all that is right
I've lost the will to continue the fight...
For now we see our own fates
and come to realize that we're to late...
I never got the chance to say goodbye
and now await the day I shall die...
The day I leave this hell that some call a splendor
will be the day in which I'm the least tender...
In death life is no longer a burden
and can end in the drop of a curtain.


"Sacrifice"

How am I supposed to know what to say
how am I supposed to know how to feel...
When you tell me you feel this way
just when I think it's beginning to heal...
You try to say everything will be alright
and that we'll always make it through...
But all we do is continue to fight
going against all I want to believe is true...
Then we turn our heads and say we're sorry
and part ways with a loving good-bye...
I go mine with a drooping head, so poorly
while you go yours silently to hide and cry...
I'm here for you, to be your rock
I'm here to be you sacred shoulder to cry on...
Don't turn on me and shut me out
open the door cuz I won't turn and run...
I'll be here forever to hold you
to care for you, love you, and make things right...
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
or sacrifice in order to show you the light.


"Lost"

Surrounded by strange faces
...and wandering off to different places
What's happened to me and the person I used to know?

Lost in time and nothing is near
...All I've known I've come to fear
I've got this desire to escape, but where can I go?

All my friends have left me alone
...with this soul of mine I don't even own
There's all this inside me, yet no way to show...

As sight begins to fade
...my world begins to cascade
This place inside me has drug me to a new low...

It's not worth time or pain
...not even worth this feeling of disdain
This growing emptiness inside has swallowed me whole.



"Forever Away" <- Kind of a ode to Amy's voice

Searching once again, through light and dark
Looking for something that I don't know
Feelings begin to fade and become stark
For fear that this will always be so

Something in the distance reaches my ears
All at once igniting my desires and fears
This could be something to improve my life
Or just as easily cut me like a knife

It's a voice, soft and heavenly sweet
Drawing me towards it, my hear pacing
I begin to run, but can barely feel my feet
And I realize this voice I may forever be chasing

From dark to light, I rush along
To find whom this voice belongs
The beauty of it begins to sooth my pain
Yet without reaching it I may go insane

I still hear this voice, and it engulfs me
And I continue to search through my days
If only the owner were able to see
That I will continue to be forever away...



Feel free to comment on whatever and however you want. I'm completely open to suggestions, comments, concerns and opinions on my writing. I may try to publish someday.

Another poem i just finished

"I Know"

Now what if I were to say...
...today
"I love you"

You just stand and stare...
...unaware
"I don't know"

Gazing deep into your eyes...
...surprise
"You want to"

Grasping my hand so tight...
...delight
"How's that so"

Our faces meet to kiss...
...bliss
"What you do"

She steps back to see...
...me
"I love you too"

"Forgotten"

1 -
Nothing to see, nothing moving
I lay at rest as though all time's stopped
But with truth at heart and thought's in mind
My body races without motion
Senses aware and emotions flaring
I will myself to move with all I am
Still I am glued to this spot
With nothing to set me free

(Chorus)
With that ice cold stare
And chilling lies
How can I see the truth inside
You continue to keep me out
While keeping me close
Now frozen in this emotional coma

2 -
You come to see me all alone
Staring into my eyes
I sense the pain in your heart
The emptiness plaguing your soul
You kiss me gently
In hopes you'll free my soul
But I'm sorry to say
I've been gone for way to damn long

(Bridge)
You pushed too hard to get me away
Don't try to bring me back
Your empty truths and broken promises
Have finally given me reason to leave

"Move On"

Love so sweet and pure
Is never meant for the heart of the wicked
A soul that touches mine
Is just too good to be something I deserve
Time and distance wear all things
But this bond stands as strong as the day it formed
She's all I've ever wanted
And everything in life has shown new light

But when did wrong become so right?
My soul searches on
Settled in silence is even disturbing
My mind races on
Life confuses even the simplest mind
My heart moves on

Now caught in the middle
I'm lost with no way left to turn
Perfection may be great
Still life is only lived through it's faults
Love always plays mind games
And the mentally absent make things worse
I will never stop being me
But I need to find out who I want to be...

"Just Not Me"

So close yet so far
and no idea which way to turn
I wake each morn with thoughts of you
Dragging me on through each day
Now I sit here all alone
Wishing for you to see
That for once in your life
I could be the one to make you happy
Still I haven't heard your voice
I haven't even seen your smile
Which help keep me going
all the while...

`so close yet so far away, and no idea which way to turn' - that is awesome...it's like you are at an ambilvalent point either way...also the abbreviation of morning to morn, may me wonder whether that was intentional to make the reader think that the mornings are something to morn, as in grieve, even though the spelling is different, tell me if i'm wrong ok...touching piece.
