The People We Were.

There's no past no future for the people we used to be
When we walk the yellow road the fog thick so thick
Like strangers forgotten or not the shadows unknown within
As we walk through the mist cold so cold
Without you I can live not, there's no future no present
Or maybe only the presence I've lost, the presence of me and you
Walking in the fog the dew the steam from our breath
As we breathe in the morning dew our hands deeply in pockets
Deeply hidden from the cold
Starting our journey we came from nowhere to nowhere
Leading us towards a life wondering where it't take us
With no past no present no future the road will be far
Emotionally we are compatible or not as we laugh joke smile
Then the tears within my broken heart
A silent world between us a world that speaks not silence in our ways
As Neruda poem.. I know not why I love you..I love you cause I do, obtusely I'll say    
As we walk the road so far losing most what we had
Our love our trust, but our pride contained within us.
The words they call love that lives within us
Its a word that's over used this word called love tormenting us
Those verses of love, time and time again sending ones barking mad, because of love
Through the darkness through the light as we pass the silent night
Our minds in turmoil when the other pretends not there's love in our hearts
Whether we can rebuild or not a pass a future or not
At the midnight station words of love were spoken the very first time
Your so distant my love..what's on your mind ?
But at the gateway an ominous darkness descends
Between the darkness the light the darkness          
That's when I looked at you and asked,
Would you come along with me on this long long road ?
Yes I would you said..?
Would'd you be part of my life my quest
What quest said you ?
Just someone that I've lost !
Whom have you lost ?
Coming close so close whispering quietly so quietly
I whispered.. You..Myself !!

  

Stranger In Bliss.

Am I the poet forgotten..By those that once knew me
Coming across the blue lightening in my dark firmament  
The primitiveness of the road across the miles miles away
And the midnight room full of woos full of sighs,
When there's nothing left to say..whether its me or its you
Things  must be said between you and I
The poetry unspoken as I glance into your eyes touching you
The distances between you and me the space between the lines so far away
The silent of the road the silent tears as a stranger walks away
Even after all that's said..Why..there must be much more left to say
If not said now it'll never be no way he reticence in you unbelievably so  
There's always a happy tune sending us in our way
The lyrics once spilled from a happy home that known road
Now far in the distances, from the utterances from the night
The mists in the moon light appearing in the sky so high
Before the reds the golds the purples as the going down of the sun
But the red of your lips as we take another kiss
Ahh..the bliss and I refusing to release from that kiss.
Incandescent was I.. Am I the stranger in bliss.
Am I am I !    

Just One Day..

   Just One Day                                    

Just one day in my life just one day.
I'd love to be loved like no other in  any other way.
Someone there for me. and love me unconditionally,
No matter what I do what I say
Someone to hold me tightly even if I push you away.
To hold me grounded in every way
To share my love my life even in spite of my ways.
The ambiguousness in, in what I say
The things that I spew when am hurt when you walk away.
Walking from me with, out a word in any way.
The silence's a killer in every day.
And my heart's screaming out why, you care not in anyway
Why you're walking from me I know not..You wouldn't say.
Yesterday so many, many yesterdays.
When you'd hold me by the hand and you'd say
You are my love my life the Stellar in my sky's,
You've sparkling diamonds in your eyes
When you smile when you laugh filling my heart,
In an inexplicable, way.
Loving you the way I do,  matters not, what they say.
The ambivalence in me who's to say
I know not why I love you this way!!
With a body that thinks not in any way
With a mind obsessively in every way.
Reasoning not, come what may
With a love, you can reason not in anyway.
And a head uncoordinated stubbornly they'll say
Love you not they'll say, "in any way".
Conspiring with others my love you'll say... Je t'aime.
To keep me happy to keep me quietly ambiguously.
But my love extinguishable is not in any way.
My heart cry's out for you every day,  of my days.
We live in a world, I understand not in any way.
With a people's that cares not, they'll say.
The obtuseness sometimes in me,
It's there for everyone to see
When I extol my love uncontrollably
When it comes down to you in every way.
They'll say just let it be, let it be let-it-be...
In my heart.
The constriction, is such in my heart
No one sees what I feel every day of my days
When you're away from me without a say.
Ominously I'll think you love me not in any way.
Yesterday.. why must I think of yesterday's
When love was sweet in every way.
When we'd sing and dance at every chance.
When togetherness was our way.
As we made love together in every way.
Now the stormy winds took it all away
We're left ambiguously what to think what to say
With a brain refusing to say no more.
Je t'aime.....Je t'aime......
