Your Radiance

the dots are left in my eyes
from the radiant light that shines
from your wonderful beauty
that has been burned into my retinas

and, Oh, what a wonderful picture
to be burned there
such beautiful radiance shines
so bright that it brightens me

you shine and the light in your eyes
-- the light from your eyes
so gorgeous eyes
weakens me

bright smile reflects the light
from the sun, the provider
the light enters my heart
and it strengthens me

i blink and the picture is seen
the radiance
the beauty
its you

alright. i know its kinda sappy. but is what came to mind. it made me happy.

So Sorry

no words can explain this time
the overwhelming thoughts and memories
i write about all this in rhyme
it helps me to explain

i apologize again.
im so sorry once again
i want to take back whats been
but i cant...

we're all reading the same sad story
whats written has been wrote
i want to rewrite whats been written
changing every note

i apologize again.
im so sorry once again
i want to take back whats been
but i cant...

im so sorry... (it haunts me just as it does you)
im so sorry... (the pain is mutual for us two)
im so sorry... so sorry

Guilt Can't Hide

they meet. they collide.
damage done. can't hide.
sore feet. guilty stride.
have not won -- inside.

whatever happened
cant be undone
the package of hate
the hiding sun

i cannot live
nor can i hide
knowing what ive done
to you. i lied.

The End?

the world split apart
on that lovely warm day
the beauty froze over
grew colder and died
the earth blew apart
and nothing was right

the pole ends of the world
were a man and a woman
the pole ends of the world
which held everything together
the pole ends of the world
which exploded and blackened

the man is unable to live
there is no air for him to breathe
the air is frozen, the air is dead
the woman is indecisive and confused
or so we all think -- does she know where she's going?
will she ever come back?

the universe is large
and there's one lucky star
the stars light reaches us
the beautiful light has finally come
the beautiful star
has already died

the earth split apart
as did the man and the woman
the one lucky star
its light fades away
these two lucky people
gone and away?

i'd like to dedicate this poem to my friend Josh Durham. He's gone through a lot lately and this is for him, completely for him. he read this and wrote a response to it called "2nd chance" if you want to read feel free, to at his blog.

living truly?

flashing lights
repeating sounds
looping images
like a broken record

that'll teach me to try
that'll teach me to fly
i've learned and i quit

although its impossible
living truly
is trying and flying
so who knows whether i'll crash
or soar

loving light.of the sun

the sun beat
proudly in the sky
dancing merrily
feet with perfect grace
on lush fields of beauty
pure joy rushing through their veins
the proud beating beauty
of the sun

the dark cloud
obscuring the light
blocking hatefully
a clot in their joy
they bound behind bushes
pure fear creeping in their hearts
the dark hateful hiding
of the sun

the rays shine
breaking the hatred
bringing forth joy
streaming wonderful
lovely great happiness
dancing O so merrily
the great beautiful rays
of the sun
