What do you do...

Yeah, not a great poem, but I decided to share...enjoy!


What do you do
When you stare perfection in the eyes
And become entranced.
What do you do
When a dream appears
Solid and real
Right in front of you.
What do you do
When all you could ever ask for
Is right before you.
What do you do
When you reach out
And cannot touch
Cannot take hold
Cannot acquire
That one chance.

Ghosts

I most definitely remember this one. This was written shortly after the girlfriend at the time lost her virginity to some other dude while we were together...obviously some emotions running high there...enjoy!



Ghosts,
Or memories,
Float across the room.
She is here.
Her scent still lingers
On my pillow.
I can hear her soft breaths
As she sleeps next to me;
My arm
Rising and falling
With each one,
As it lies across her body.

Leave me be
Foul temptress;
These walls will have you no more.
My bed is washed clean,
My arms are no longer
To hold you.

I can still feel
Her body against mine,
Her skin against mine,
Her lips against mine.
Her sweet perfume rising,
Now emanating
As our hearts begin to race.
I can see her
Gliding across the room;
My heart yearning for her
As she slowly approaches
And falls softly onto me.

Be gone
Betrayer,
Heart breaker,
My lover,
My friend.
