I toss I turn

Posted: 10th November 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I lay here awake thinking to myself,

Thinking out loud.

I wonder why … I wonder how.

Sometimes I sit here and sometimes I don’t.

I toss and turn.

Thinking … why so hard?

This tension, burning, desire;

That cannot be fulfilled.

Why?

I can think all night,

I can stay awake.

I want to know why.

Have I seen a sign? Have I loved wrong?

Am I not the person who I though I was?

Am I wrong?

 

I toss I turn.

I am awake thinking … why do I torment myself?

Is it love?

Have I fallen in love?

Fallin in love with a love I cannot have?

Why?

Why then do I love so?

When I cannot share this beautiful feeling,

the longer this emotional extravagant feeling.

Why must I stay alone? Why must I be in the dark?

Why must I cry inside, outside?

Why are you not here with me? Why did you leave me?

I am sorry.

I am sorry I cannot be like him.

I am sorry I cannot hold you … I cannot change your mind.

I will never hurt you. I can never mislead you.

I will never leave you in the cold.

I will be there to warm you.

Why am I still here? You are with the one you love.

But you tell me you love me too.

 

I toss I turn.

I am alone again. So in the cold.

So far away … so alone.

Seeing your smile brings me back.

Seeing him sends me away in a corner,

In a ditch out in the cold.

Looking in.

Can I hold on? Can I?

When you choose to go the other way.

Away you have always known.

Then why should I be so sad, if you are so happy.

Because I know I fill your every desire – you told me.

I know your every touch – you told me.

I know where to go – you told me.

I know where to kiss you – you told me.

I know you love me – you show me.

Yet that does not change the way you feel about him.

You are still with him.

Why?

I ask myself.

You see sad at times with him, you come to me.

I want you to be happy.

Once Again

Posted: 25th October 2001 by Jab in Poetry

So many times I try to tell you exactly how I feel

Without hesitation that your feelings will be the same

I would pray at times for a love so great

So reassuring and so endless

Although my life has seemed so shallow and so distant

Love has been taken from me once to the point of no return

And I have fallen in love once again

With you I have shared my thoughts my deepest secrets

I found comfort in your presence

With your smile I found warmth

Your touch game me a calmness in a sense of reassurance

Your words are so wise spoken with grace

I have not found another woman quite like you

You are different – you are your own person

There is not another woman that could bring me the

Happiness you have shown me

I forever will love and cherish our friendship

Our closeness and our moments

With you I have learned to accept lifes precious moments

For if they are over looked they may pass us by

I have found love once again

In you!

Path to Destiny

Posted: 20th October 2001 by Jab in Poetry

As your life before you,

you have now come to a clearing

where your destiny splits into

two different directions…

 

You have not had to make a decision

like this before.

So how can you choose?

 

One path leads you to …

Your every desire, a for filling destiny of:

Happiness, love, attention, affection,

and of passion.

A straight smooth path with no worries.

 

The other path is one you know.

The only one you have known.

You feel secure.

How do you step away from something you have

always known.

This path may be rocky filled with confusion,

seems to be out of energy.

 

Split into confusion you must decide.

Where should you go?

What should you choose?

Only you can decide.

Reflection

Posted: 17th October 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I look out the window and what do I see

But the reflection of myself looking back at me

 

It never used to be like this, or any time before

I used to see my dreams, and everything I had in store

 

Recently my mind had been clouded, and I don’t know why

Could it be the recent events, between you and I

 

I know it has not been easy, not quite that smooth road

But that didn’t mean you had to leave me here out in the cold

 

You stirred my mind, my reflection too

I have to get back on track, and I know what to do

 

You told me to leave and not to have hope

Well this is the only way I know how to cope

 

I want my reflection back, out the window when I look

And give back my sanity and dreams that you took.

Sands of Time

Posted: 15th October 2001 by Jab in Poetry

As we walk the sands of time

Hand in hand together in twine

Not a moment to soon, nor a moment to late

Our hands together as one, for this is fate

A crisp light kernel, elegant and sheer

A granulate of sand, becomes closer and near

A look much closer will certainly reveal

A factor of meaning, a love so real

For many years it took to make this change

Resistance of patience has heard no rage

My love is strong, like a kernel of sand

Expressing emotional content, in your hand

 

I walk with you through the sands of time

A mystery of love that is forever mine

I am here to make you happy when you are sad

Throughout the good times, and all of the bad

When you are down and blue, or have the flu

I will make you better; I will carry you through

Through this notion; forbidden as well

How much our love will grow, only time can tell

A gentle stroke through your soft Angelic hair

Know in time, I will forever be there

Forever in a heartbeat I hold you close in hand

My precious love for you lies deep within this man

I walk with you in the sands of time

I will walk with you forever with you hand in mine.

Now and Then

Posted: 26th September 2001 by Jab in Poetry

Make up your mind

I am going insane

I cannot stand this

Constant toying with my brain

You tell me how you feel

Then we are through

I am not even sure what I am going to do

Did you think about me too?

This isn’t the end

Was that pretend?

Many letters to you I write

Do you read them in bed at night?

I’m mad that

I’m happy

For once again I am not sure

What it is all about anymore

You are forgiven

All is forgotten

Until you do it again

Then what?

I want you always

Not just now and then

My love you are not

Posted: 22nd September 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I would move the mountains just to say

all the things I need to say, to feel

all the feelings I have for you.

I would swim the depths of the ocean

to share my love, that is so endless

to embrace you!

I would walk to the edge of the world

and back; counting along, the ways I can

express this temptation, this feeling

this love.

But for you I cannot

My Love, you are not!

A sunset as beautiful as your smile that

lights the sky;

is clouds full of color so indescrible, like

the thoughts I have for you

A walk hand-in-hand on a moon-lit sand

sharing a moment of pleasure

the sparkle in your eye, reminds me

of the stars at night

that I thank for every moment

we are together

I want to share these feelings with you

But for you I cannot

My Love, you are not!

I would hold you tight

never to let go, feeling so secure.

Talk softly in your ear, whisper

three little words

of comfort and to let you

know, I am here to stay

There is not one problem I would not

workout

To bring comfort and ease

to please you in everyway,

mentally, physically … sexually.

I want to share this with you

But for you I cannot

My Love, you are not!

Happiness not loneliness for you

I will give.

Ease your pain, take your worries away

comfort you.

In your time of need

let you be, when you need to be you.

The moon, I would give;

to share your love

I want to share all this with you

But for you I cannot

My Love, you are not!

Come back to me, and you will see

A changed man, I’ve turned out to be

I want to give you my all

and show you our love will not fall

back to the way it was, only grow

stronger as we develop, it will begin to show

that true love, we always had

But for you I cannot

My Love, you are not

But lets change and try again

and let feelings ment

– My Love , you are not

Should be me

Posted: 21st September 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I hope someday, someone will

Treat you like I did.

 

And say all

The beautiful things I said

 

To bring that smile

Upon your face

 

That lights a room in

Endless ways

 

That lifts your spirits

High above

 

And shows you countless

Ways of love

 

Takes your breath away

With a single kiss

 

And shows you a lifetime

Of warmth and bliss

 

– Should be me

One Reason

Posted: 16th September 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I see you smile, once not so bright

Though time has passed; strong we unite

There has not been a time, I looked into your eyes

And never seen us, not together

The frustration is here, and times are rough

Though I think of you; silently

I cannot imagine what feelings I would have

If I thought otherwise

I see you; what is on your mind?

I just want to hold you close

I want to touch your hand

I can still feel; that feeling the embrace of our lips

For the first time

Give me a reason not to love you

The way that I do

I cannot find one!
