A Love I Never Knew
I don't know where to start
It's all too good to be true
But you have stolen my heart
From the first time I saw you
I felt something new
I wanted to meet
To see if you felt it too
Then we were introduced
by one of your friends
And at that moment
I didn't want the night to end
Then you asked me to dance
and took me in your arms
I felt I was safe
From all of life's harms.
You looked in my eyes
and I couldn't resist
To reach up and feel
the sweetness of your kiss
You held me so close
As all the people passed by
But at that moment
The only ones that existed...
Was just you and I.
It is a night to remember
A night never to forget
As I tell all my friends
Of this wonderful man I met.
He has given me hope
And has given me smiles
Even though we're apart
And across the miles.
I love to hear his voice
when i'm here all alone
Waiting for the ring...
It's him on the phone.
Even though we're apart
I miss his embrace,
and the kiss of his lips,
and the touch of his face.
I'll be back in his arms
and he'll be in mine too
For this is the love
That I never knew.
Thank you for showing me that love and happiness do exist....I miss you!!
Broken promise
I told you I loved you too
You said together we'd always be
I said I would be true
You promised you would hold me
You promised you'd be there
I promised I'd cross the stormy sea
To give you my loving care
But you never kept your promise
You aren't the way you used to be
You just gave up on us
And you just gave up on me
You said let's take a break
You said let's just be friends
But please for my sake
Just say the truth, cause it's the end
You promised every day
That you would be there
You molded my heart like clay
Into the shape of a broken chair
You promised to me
That we'd always have our love
You said to me
I was all you could think of
But, now, your walking away
Saying "let's just be friends"
Now, you made my heart break
That's your way of saying it's the end
Why did you make a promise you couldn't keep
Why did you make a promise you wouldn't live up to
Why did you make a promise that was so cheap
why did you make a promise to this broken hearted fool
Why did you promise we'd be together
Why did you say you dreamed of me in your sleep
why did you promise to love me forever
Why did you make a promise you could not keep?
Love hurts
it hurts when it cuts you
love is this pain in my body
it never goes away
it stays for days and days
love hurts
love is like a broken leg
it feels like it will never heal
love is like a heart attack
it surprizes you
love hurts
be ready when you fall in love
you will be hurt
because
love hurts
I Will be There
Call me.
I don't promise that I will make you laugh,
But I can cry with you
If one day you want to run away--
Don't be afraid to call me.
I don't promise to ask you to stop...
But I can run with you
If one day you don't want to listen
to anyone...
Call me.
I promise to be there for you.
And I promise to be very quiet.
But if one day you call...
And there is no answer...
Come fast to see me.
Perhaps I need you.
Youth and beauty
Through a crack in the door
Father and kids sleep soundly
Mothers feet touch the floor.
Feeling a presence
In the room below
She walks to the stairs
And looks at the warm fire's glow.
Reflecting off the wall
Made of mortar and stone
She creeps down slowly
To see who was in her home.
A handsome man
Of gyspsy descent
Sits quietly in a chair
She already knows his intent.
He has been here
Many times before
He arches his eyebrow
She falls to the floor.
Her body shivers
Waiting for the kiss
That will bring her to
An orgasmic bliss
He plays with her body
Like a well tuned guitar
This night is different though
Tonight he will take her far
Into the next life
And even beyond
This morning's sunrise
Was her very last dawn.
He plunged his teeth
In the soft skin of her neck
He dranks all of her blood
On her cheek, he placed a peck.
He fed her his blood
In droplets falling on her tongue
From this point on
She would always be young.
Vibrant and beautiful
She awoke with a smile
The left the small house
And walked many a mile.
Leaving her old life
And starting again
Her life with this vampire
Her lover and friend.
Why laugh????????????
The dream was set on a stage
And the stage was set in a theatre.
The theatre was grand and proper
Lush tapesteries hung on the wall
The seats were all of a plush red
Silk cords tethered the waiting crowd
Wanting to see the play
The play of a thousand souls
The play of ten thousand smiles
The play of a millon frowns
The crowds was ushered in
They took their seats
The lights dimmed
The curtain was drawn
The stage lights rose
And there I was
Bound and naked
Broken and disheveled
Eyes swollen shut
From fists of rage
Blood free flowing from my nose
From the broken cartelage.
Scratches and deep cuts
From nails and knifes alike.
The crowd gasped
Then one broke into laughter
Which spread to another
And another in succession
Quickly like wildfire
Until everyone was in a roar.
THen I fell over
And the laughing subsided
Until one person shed a tear
And that tear hit another
Causing her to cry.
The entire theatre wept
The floor became very damp
Cleaners came in with mops and buckets
But they too cried when they saw me.
The curtain then fell.
The crowd stopped
The crowd then left.
And I remained, waiting for the next show.
Only one thousand minus one left to do.
EARTH TURNS/NEGATIVE SPIN
When I was no more than a lad
Good was good and bad was bad
Definition was what we had
When I was a lad.
But things move on it’s assumed they must
Though shouldn’t advancement be discussed?
There’s no brain used just pelvic thrust
Disgusting but a must.
Bone idleness is now the lore
With the World Wide Web inside each door
The library? Hell that’s a chore
Bone idleness is now folk’s lore.
For queen and country people ran
An honour just to represent your clan
Now the race is run from a banking plan
Long forgotten why people ran.
We had the power for heat and light
To use all day and all the night
But somehow it does not seem right
That we’ll soon be back to candle light.
In those days when you didn’t need a seat
And the ball never left the best one’s feet
Now it’s stepovers ‘cos they can’t compete
And you’re not allowed to leave your seat.
Oh yes,
Do you have metatarsals? I never did
They weren’t invented when I was a kid
Safely in and out of tackles I always slid
As every kid I know did.
I was scared to death by The Exorcist
Which today is on a toddler’s list
And of tomorrow? “Live beheadings – Do not miss!”
And laugh at The Exorcist.
If you got involved in fisticuffs
And got knocked down that was enough
Now they want to kick you till you’re snuffed
It’s now rough stuff fisticuffs.
Not long ago when you had a blocked drain
You used drain cleaner in the main
Now scumbags use it to blow up planes
The world’s gone down the drain.
Oh give me back those days of yore
When your fingers didn’t walk and your feet got sore
And if you saw a bit of cleavage you shouted “Core!”
In those innocent days of yore.RAPSCALIAN RAP
What’ve I got? I got my crew,
I got my blow, I got my brew
What’ve I got? I got the street,
The place where I have found my feet.
What’ve I got? I got a role,
I got respect, I got my dole.
What’ve I got? The latest threads
I nicked myself, the height of cred.
What’ve I got? I got the lot,
I got a clue, I found the plot
What’ve I got? I got no school,
No assembly line, no authority tools.
What’ve I got? I got liberty,
I got my space, I got my key.
What’ve I got? I got it made
I’m proud that I have made the grade.
What’ve I got? I got my say,
I got no flack, I got my way.
What’ve I got? An aggressive walk
That clears the pavement where I stalk
What’ve I got? I got my leer,
I got my glare so I got your fear.
What’ve I got? It all looks good
As I peep out from beneath my hood.
What’ve I got? The latest ASBO
Worn like a medal as my stature grows.
What’ve I got? I got your attention,
As I feed and grow with every mention.
What’ve I got? I got the choice
I got the ears to hear the voice.
But will I listen? Will I fuck!
‘Cos I’m happy in this life I’m stuck.
WOUNDS OF BETRAYAL
Its the only one who feels it deeply!!
Love was the gift bestowed by god,
But who cares for this solitude now....
In the emptiness of mind,your heartbeat was the only sound........
You had the keys for the doors that were closed.........
I wasn't afraid of death ,but was afraid of losing u!!
I havebeen into dungeons of depression, but its enough of all this ...
I searched for u everywhere,but
it was impossible to find u with wet eyes..
The world dratted me for loving u,
But YES they were true.
I believed u were my life,
I was a dolt to think so...
Finally, I was in love, a love which i never got for aeons on end...........
...... with a new beginning.... prads...
A SUNSET DREAM
END oF WhAt
The evensong of birds,
Ushers in the night.
The end of the fretful, wakeful day
With mournful words.
The same day,
Which with morn did so bravely bloom
Is now ending with doleful gloom.
Gone is the glare and blare-
In their place, a sable silence
In which thoughts can be heard.
With the flight
Of lifegiving light,
Life itself has become light,
Shorn of the burden of strife.
Yet, the birth of the night
Is anything but delight.
Is it because the end of light
Hints the end of life itself ?
preserved thoughts
And a book of many
Waiting to be sold
For a casual penny,
In a little open case,
In a street unclean and cluttered,
Where a heavy mud is spattered
From the passing drays,
Stranger, pause and look;
From the dust of ages
Lift this little book,
Turn the tattered pages,
Read me, do not let me die!
Search the fading letters, finding
Steadfast in the broken binding
All that once was I!
From "The Poet and His Book"
Edna St. Vincent Millay
IN THOUGHT OF YOU
But i din't believe them....
And now i feel what it is....
U were a stranger when i met,
Now, when i know u "U are my life".
Every wish of mine is u,
Every thought of mine is u,
Every second with u was ecstatic.
Everyday with u was a chance to know myself.
You are my aspiration ........
You are my inspiration.............
But i din't know what all these feelings meant,
Yet people say its love....
If it is so, then i Truly,Madly,Deeply love u...
I can't resist falling in love with u,
I can't wait saying "I LOVE U"...
Thinking of u,
prads....
WAITING FOR U
There are times when u made me sad,
There are times when u made me go mad,
But there's all one thing u ought to know and i need to say i.e. I LOVE U.
Nights have become longer without u baby,
And u know i cant live without u.....
I see u in every work i do,everywhere i go.
I feel u in every step i put ahead....
Do u even feel the pain as i do,
If so i am ready to leave the world to just hear
u say..........
"You are more than a friend and I love u"
Sometimes i felt i missed a million chances to
express what i felt....
But how could i say, when words don't come easy my way......
At last all i can say is ,
My arms are always open for u ,and
My eyes dying to have a glance of u......
waiting for u..prads.
Sound Of Silence
Remembering u everyday in solitude,
Down the corner of the street,leaning
on the lamp-post ....
I waited for u to walk by the lane,
I waited as the dying grass awaits the rain,
as the shore for the tide and the earth for the sun.
Days passed and nights cleared in search of a voice......
That spoke of love in the honey'd middle of night.
She is the bereaved cloud but yet she is my raving beauty......
Honey,a lightening cant be forever,
Let us wait for the wounds to heal...
But at last when i met her....she said,
"Fear not,resist not,true love knows no distractions....
She loved me in that utter simplicity and innocence.....may be that is the way GOD loves............."
