Maybe We Made a Mistake

Baby, maybe we made a mistake

Perhaps a strategic error
As we both continue to lie awake
With nagging thoughts to the barer
Of perhaps a startling revelation
That perhaps all is not well and fine
Or perhaps a more startling revolution
Perhaps we're on to something new this time
Maybe we rushed too fast into it
But even faster out of this
Perhaps we were afraid of possible grit
That we ignored the potential bliss
And we make each other better
It's possible we overlooked words
To merely focus on the letters
Perhaps we're both being absurd
But it is possible we actually screwed up
Maybe we failed ourselves after all
Like the precautions were way too much
Like we were too scared to fall
Or too scared to break
Whatever it was, Baby, maybe we made a mistake
Then again, Maybe not...

A Poem of Dedication

Dark hazel eyes unsure of what is to come

In uncertain and sanguine expectancy

Viewing the current situation as cumbersome

Yet find that in her heart she has a vacancy

Black hair a touch frazzled and frayed

Straightforward with authentic virtues

She realizes she cannot let this fade

So with a slightly indecisive purview

With eagerness and insomniac nights

She longingly yearns for the response

Perhaps he might readjust his sights

That the affair might be ensconced

That failure might be an alternative

All too unreasonable for both parties

Imminent success is a virtual imperative

With the necessity to proceed smartly

Moving in precipitance being risky

A deceleration could be warranted

Why travel the billows so quickly

And journey to the abhorrent abyss

Whereby the blunders of the past

Come back to haunt like apparitions?

The consequences of advancing too fast

Could cause unsafe conditions

Perhaps her demeanor is newfangled

As are the ideas in his brain

Perhaps this woven-web will be less tangled

And she and he are actually sane 

Near to Something That Actually Exists

Streets lit, glowing lamps shining bright

In uncharted territory now

It seems the end is not within sight

So I don’t know if I’m going down

And with her black hair waving I ask

With a giant smile, “Missy, where too?”

“I don’t know, but I cannot look back

And I need to explain this to you

My life has been turned upside down

With my head buried underground

All my life I searched for this

But it just left me filled with emptiness

So I climbed in this car for warmth

And now my heart is again torn

So excuse me while I make you feel

Like you were ‘this close’ to something real"

I pulled over to the curbside

Putting it in park, I spoke my mind

“I don’t need one in whom to confide

Believe it or not, I was just fine”

Her nerves regressed and she gave a smile

And decided to ask me to date

I said, “I guess it’s been a while”

Maybe it was luck or maybe fate

My life had been turned upside down

With my head buried underground

All my life I searched for this

But it just left me filled with emptiness

So I climbed in this car for warmth

And now my heart was again torn

So excuse me while you make me feel

Like I was ‘this close’ to something real

As we traveled down the street

There was a sign marked “Dead End”

Seeing the journey was complete

We decided not to pretend

The façade that became of it all

Faded as fast as possible

As we opened the doors to both withdraw

We were in a car that we thought was nautical

But thankfully we read the writing on the wall

Our lives have been turned upside down

With our heads buried underground

All our lives we searched for this

But it just left us filled with emptiness

So we climbed out of this car for warmth

But now our hearts aren’t again torn

So excuse us while we can still feel

Like you we’re this close to something real

Throwing Caution to the Hurricane

Immorality and unscrupulousness

All balled into one

In the specious, ostensible lucidness

I leave myself stunned

With such aspirations delayed

I destroy myself

But is it possible to be reprobate

If you need someone else?

The vamp taunts me with her wanions

I feel I must obey

With delectate colloquy I see a need for a companion

Is this to be my fate?

Casuistic and illogical premonitions

Escape my brain

I am beguiled by this superstition

And my soul feigns

Conflicted by zoanthropic feelings

I am led to the slaughter

I must use circumspection in this dealing

Or I shall be a lamb to the slaughter

Love does not conquer all

God does

So let this betrayal be small

And let this amount of blood be enough

Spatial Reasoning

It hasn’t always been an easy road

Since the day I met you I have been

On the waves tossed about to and fro

I’m a man of a million regrets

I’ve been everywhere

Traveled here and there

But of all the things

That this life brings

I miss you more and more

With each passing day

Need to get out and settle the score

Can’t keep living this way

Because I can’t let you walk

Away without having talked

Of all my biggest regrets

Losing you might be death of me yet

It hasn’t always been an easy life

Since the day I was born I have had

To endure being under the knife

Success and failure have driven me mad

I’ve done everything

But it drives me to drink

That I let you go

So this is to let you know

I miss you more and more

With each passing day

Need get out and settle the score

Can’t keep living this way

Because I can’t let you walk

Away without having talked

Of all my biggest regrets

Losing you might be death of me yet

And with a burning heart

And an ailing mind

I can’t stand to be apart

Feels like I’m confined

Within the prison of distance

So with great persistence

I must tell you that I don’t know

If I can live without you or let you go

You Deserve Better

Your beauty knows end

But they do not know that

As soon as it starts it ends

And it makes me so sad

They don’t appreciate you

Like I do

And they can’t see what I see

They can’t see your beauty

You deserve so much better

Than what you’ve been getting

Hush, now and let it in

Babe, you’re completely beautiful

The way you tell your jokes is impeccable

The way you smile is incredible

The way you move is so magical

Let’s not hesitate, let’s let it go

So we can just keep dancing ‘round in circles

You're graceful and sweet

But they throw you away

With your gifts so unesteemed

They let you get away

Blissfully unaware

With no cares

They let you walk out that door

But I can see you're worth more

You deserve so much better

Than what you’ve been getting

Hush, now and let it in

Babe, you’re completely beautiful

The way you tell your jokes is impeccable

The way you smile is incredible

The way you move is so magical

Let’s not hesitate, let’s let it go

So we can just keep dancing ‘round in circles

Discarded and used

They didn't love you for you

Chasing what they thought was right

And missing the diamond in front of their eyes

But I won't make the same mistake

Gotta get while the gettin's good

So this is now make or break

Don't let me be misunderstood

If I asked you to say yes, you would?

You deserve so much better

Than what you’ve been getting

Hush, now and let it in

Babe, you’re completely beautiful

The way you tell your jokes is impeccable

The way you smile is incredible

The way you move is so magical

Let’s not hesitate, let’s let it go

So we can just keep dancing ‘round in circles

Intimidating Assurances

Looking at you somehow takes my breath away

Like a little kid’s crush, my mouth moves in vain

No sounds protrude when I look at you

No telling from whence this feeling grew

All I know is that I cannot resist

The idea of taking this risk

Sophisticated

Yet down to earth

Beauty conflated

I need to get there first

How easily your words flow

From your beautiful lips

Dripping with honey so

Complimenting to your hips

Your sarcasm has such restraint

Clothed in humility

And wrapped in constraint

Resisting is a futility

Thinking of you somehow makes me go insane

Like a sleepless night, I try to look away

To no avail, my eyes turn to you

It’s saying no, my mind has reproved

The thought of me taking a useless risk

Captivated, I cannot resist

Sophisticated

Yet down to earth

Beauty conflated

I need to get there first

How easily your words flow

From your beautiful lips

Dripping with honey so

Complimenting to your hips

Your sarcasm has such restraint

Clothed in humility

And wrapped in constraint

Resisting is a futility

Mature with defining wisdom

Your independence is intimidating

You are the most beautiful in God’s Kingdom

Your campaign is a success in this head you’re invading

Banal attempts to resist your songs

That ring on and on with the sound of your voice

Find me wanting more of attributes what I have so longed

Your dainty sarcasm could make me lose my composure and poise

Sophisticated

Yet down to earth

Beauty conflated

I need to get there first

How easily your words flow

From your beautiful lips

Dripping with honey so

Complimenting to your hips

Your sarcasm has such restraint

Clothed in humility

And wrapped in constraint

Resisting is a futility
