I Am Not A Writer, Nor Am I A Muse.

In my mind are the words to solve the most complex riddles,
the most perplexing questions.
If only I could find a way to arrange them in some legible sense.
Yes,
intense,
but nonetheless I struggle.
Bumbling fool with my words.
Its absurd how I manage to mangle the simplest terms.
Fumbling round and about in a daze,
as if seeking an exit to a literal maze.

I am not a writer.
Nor am I a muse.
My mind full of knowledge and words I cant use.
How I long to inspire the poet in you,
and prove to you writing is just something I do.
But I struggle and ponder just why is it that I
feel that using that title would be kin to a lie?

I seek and I scramble for words that aren't there,
till I'm blue in the face and I'm pulling out hair.
I know there's a word that I wanted to use,
and I think that I thought it but after review,
to decide to seduce you with words you cant see
would be rather disdainful and callous of me.

I desire to arm you in a literal sense.
Instigate composition,
at my wisdom's expense.
My vast recollections and grammatical airs,
ineffectually futile like falling upstairs.
Ironically helping is all that I wish.
Yet I cant seem to exclude these thoughts and dismiss
the fact that I am not a writer,
nor am I a muse.
The words simply taunt me,
and end up misused.

I'd Like To

I'd like to put you into my pocket
and take you everywhere that I'd go
And know
That you would be my rabbits foot
my horseshoe,
my three leaf clover.
I'd like to sit you upon my shoulder
and tilt my head to better hear your words of wisdom.
I'd like to have you near
to hear
the words that I can not share with anyone 
other than you.
I'd like to pick you 
like the beautiful flower youve never seen yourself as
Full blossom
Radiant colors
Your petals like the softest silk upon my hands
and
your scent.
Your scent 
Nothing less than infusing your soul upon my being
with every inhalation.
I'd like.
To hold.
Your hand.
And if I never had the good fortune
to glance upon your face again I'd close my eyes and feel you
inside my pocket.
Hear your whisper in my ear.
And breath in your unforgettable scent.

Written On Your Face

You don't have to say the words for me to know
or tell cover stories for the scars that show
no need to fill in all the silent gaps
or tell why your cover stories overlap
you don't need to say what plagues your dreams
or give voice to all your silent screams
no need to fill between the lines
or fake a smile
to pass the time
i don't need to hear what stole your grace
the pain you feel
written on your face
i see clearly the pain you try to hide
the pain you try to keep inside
away from those who mean you harm
as if you cant see past their charms
no words could possibly entail
the damage you wear like a veil
no words you say could describe
the life you've lived to stay alive
the signs all there
i see the truth
no words could cover up the proof
i see the mental injuries
the fears that knocked you to your knees
the unheard prayers
unanswered cries
the tears you've covered up with lies
its up to you if you decide
to speak the words you've hid inside
but if words don't fall into place
the pains still written on your face.

You Are My Suicide

You are my suicide,
You are the straw that broke the camels back,
the stone that brought this glass house to its demise.
You realize, you aid my self destructive side
your claim of never ending love a cheap thrill ride.
Appetizingly, deliciously, surprisingly high.
Agonizingly unbalanced, teetering  upon the edge of sanity.
Your vanity betrays you.
What I do for you betrays who,
or even what I am.
You are what you make yourself to be.
I, am what you make of me, when you take of me
bit by bit devouring the pieces that you break of me
and leave me with the nothing that I am.
Your so called love your real demand.
My one and only, overdosing helping hand.

Temptation (11/24/08)

The temptation of you is disastrous.
The you that is magnificently illuminated by your smile
and all the while i break my own heart every time that i do not approach you.
The you whose warmth radiates and singes my skin,
scaring and permanently digging in.
The you whose personality can entice me to new levels of perception.
Unwittingly,
the you who invites me with your eyes,
and yet you realize how close I've come to self infliction,
a true addiction, a danger and yet a craving all in one.
And so its done.
Refuse the perfect fit, or yet another split?
Too much to lose,
too hard to choose
too long to mend two pieces of a broken heart...again.
