Philosophy In The Bedroom
Philosophize All Phantasmagorias – Poems & Stories of a Jun-DayAnd now…
Your eyes sparkle
Your smile widens
You even smell different
A spanking new you
A dream come true
It’s all I’ve ever wanted
Yet you look like you
Your laugh’s familiar
Am I to be blamed for being confused?
Have you really changed?
Or is the world spinning?
Who are you?
I Miss You
I miss you,
and the nights we spent together
Walking street to street…
Talking about everything.
Nights when we were free
from all these complications
A simple “you and me”
Had sufficed.
Never Be The Same
I gave you everything
Even when you pushed
We have different faces
But it’s you I understood
I knew you when you smiled
I knew why when you cried
Certain tears are complicated
And yours were one of a kind
Last september everything changed
You tried to bring me down
And it just wasn’t the same
When all is lost, you gotta walk on
Walk away from things you don’t understand
One step a day, I’m walking away
When you realize it’ll already be too late
Things will never be the same
I listened when you spoke
We laughed at all the news
We shared a love for all things red
And you were once my muse
We squeezed into the fitting room
You tried on wings and black shoes
I loved everything about you
Even when you pushed
Last september everything changed
You tried to bring me down
And it just wasn’t the same
When all is lost, you gotta walk on
Walk away from things you don’t understand
One step a day, I’m walking away
When you realize it’ll already be too late
Things will never be the same
How could the sky fall apart?
You threw a knife and pierced my heart
I was there when no one was
But now we’re both alone
When all is lost, you gotta walk on
Walk away from things you don’t understand
One step a day, I’m walking away
When you realize it’ll already be too late
Things will never be the same
Tango
He grabbed her hand
and pulled her close
No time to think
No moment to lose
He twirled her round
and pulled her close
She couldn’t breathe
Her mind was lost
The music soared
beyond her being
He says to her,
“you think too much.”
Two breaths a beat
Three beats a step
They move as one
For many songs
When it ended
Her legs shaken
Her soul stirred
Her hands trembled
She’d finally succumbed
in following her heart
and the rhythm it beats… for Her
Love Fool
I pinch your cheeks; you smile at me
You ruffle my hair; I kiss your lips
What’s love? (but a game) A game for fools?
And all will fade eventually
The Switch Game
Staring at the man who claimed
He’d care for me ’til my life ended
Shockingly, I feel nothing
Only heard the normal sounds
of the city noises
Sometime ago, I’d transferred
all my emotions to someone else
‘Father figure’ they call it
Well, I’ve switched figurines this time
unknowingly.
Now, looking at this new man
Who had switched the warmth off
He has a family to care for
I’m just a passer-by
Stopping to chat for awhile
It hurts.
Like the sun went behind a cloud
The warmth disappeared
I am empty as I had begun
Me and my big bag of emotions
That I don’t know where to put anymore.
You Put a Smile on my Face
White sheets
On wooden flooring
That’s what you feel like to me
Sunlight peering through mis-matched curtains
That’s the impression you gave me
A cloth over your eyes to hide the light
You smile as you wake
You whisper in my ears and say,
“You put a smile on my face.”
You are so full of life and love
I’m swept away by your charm
You feel like midnight
Rain, and
Gardens
You never pulled back not even once
The clothes are on the floor
Light’s coming through the door
You smile as you wake
You whisper in my ears and say,
“You put a smile on my face.”
Will Love Be With Us
Seeing you lying there
Eyes closed, dreaming
I lay down beside you
To listen to your breathing
Your beauty astounding
Beneath light and shadows
Leaves me with wonder
And cleanses my soul
Your patience is boundless
Of generous nature
So different from me
I’m a restless ranger
Will love be with us?
Me, You
Love lost cannot be found
I cannot be found because my love is lost
And I am love.
All I do in life is feel
For you.
For them.
For myself.
And all I search for in existence
Is for peace,
For solitude
And for love.
You play your mind games
And I play along
Because I want to cheer your disheartened heart
And speak your language
But I’ve realised recently, only recently
That you don’t care about me in my own special way.
You don’t do unto me what I do for you
And you blame me for not keeping up
When I’m exhausted of your politics
And your desert dry of love
I’m angry.
I’m frustrated.
I’m hurt and it’s complicated.
But I still love on in my stupid way
In my own silly way.
But I’ve grown.
And you haven’t.
Thinking About You II
Thinking about someone who fills my dreams
My energy is taken; my mind is fixated
Questions plague the planes I’m on
Alive, I am; neutrality, I’m not.
Astounding clarity that’s astute and steep
As silence fills the boards and corners
Comes to me with no trumpets blaring
Yet stays like a guest who never speaks
I nod in return to my own discrimination
To my discretion; to my detachment
I’ve realized that love may thrive in forms
So doggedly experimental, the damned shape shifters
Yet most of all, I think about love
So gentle and kind, I began to feel nervous
For love so kind makes one feel undeserving
Impossible to achieve for one as worthless as me
I… miss you.
