No Girl Could Ever Have Love For Me

I could wait for the world to end
And search every land and sea
Not anywhere on this earth
Is there a girl who could love me

So lonely, hiding in the dark,
Waiting to be played like a game again
No girl could ever want
For us to be more than friends

If I were to die and go to heaven
Love would still not exist
No matter how sweet I could ever be
All girls have learned to resist

So alone I sit, day by day,
Wishing love could be real to me
But nothing but alone
Will I ever be...

Angelfish

Trawling in the sea of love,
Just going with the flow,
I caught a pretty mermaid once,
But I had to let her go.

Now, years have come and gone,
The sun is hanging low.
I'll cast my heart out one last time,
And then this boat, I'll stow.

Wait... I sense a tiny flutter...
Something's tugging at my bait!
She's pulling at my heartstrings...
Perhaps, I'm not too late!

But this angelfish is wild and strong,
And my line has gotten weak.
I reel her in so very slow,
With the tender words I speak.

She wants to bolt, she wants to dart,
She tries to swim away.
As I watch her disappear from me,
I bow my head to pray...

"Dear God, you sent me, from above,
A love that is so fine.
Please tell me, Lord, what can I do
To make this angel mine?"

Just Don't Get Me

You just don't get me
Try to understand my point of view
The meaning behind what I see
My motives for seeking all that's new

None of you can even comprehend me
The shoes I wear, a different size,
If you knew, you would have set me free,
And stopped believing in your own silly lies

Not even those closest seem to grasp me
They believe what they want to believe
Letting me be is the key
For me to stop running and never leave

I don't think you really get me
You would rather take what you need
Growing wilder than the branch of an oak tree
Anticipating where my freedom will lead

Do you even want to know me?
Maybe my insides are just too scary for you
A different person; a strange cup of tea,
Don't worry; I'm not getting you too!

A Friend

Best Friends forever
Together through whatever.
Every time I do wrong
Here you are to make me strong.
We have been through happy, sad, hard, and bad times
Without you this poem wouldn't have rhyme.
I want this friendship to be long
Because I know that together we belong...

Love At A Distance

Waiting for the clock to tick
Yet it ticks all around the dial
Dreaming of your beautiful face
That I haven't seen for a while.

How much longer can it feel
My eyes well up with tears
What if something stops you coming
This just adds to all my fears

A few weeks feel like an year or more
Surely this is hell on earth
I miss you darling do you know how much?
Every second I cherish your worth.

We share so many phone calls
But they can't nearly replace
The feeling of your loving arms
In our warm and tender embrace

The power of the love we feel
Makes our days together fly
So much in so little time
When you leave I have to cry.

I know that you'll be back soon
Though it doesn't heal the pain
Of all the waiting I'll endure
Until you're here with me again...

Homie

This poem is dedicated to Rohan, my best pal in college and the best guy I'll ever know... Cheers to ya, homie!!!

We are buddies,
This is a fact.
Like a pair of shoes,
And a nap sack.

Together we prove,
United we fall.
This is us drunk,
Getting smoked off the wall.

The person you told,
About your first time.
I sat up and heard,
The whole damn crime.

We've been in trouble,
We've been in shit.
Remember the time,
We missed detention by a bit.

We have been through lots,
The ruts and bumps.
Just never forget,
We are chumps.

I wrote this poem,
Sad, but true.
And if you are my homie
This is definitely for you...

I Promise

This poem needs no explanation, and i can offer none... Just read it and check it out for yourself...

Just there where no one cries
Sky where no vulture flies
No stinking smell of rotten flesh
I promise I'll love you there,
With my heart afresh.

Where no man lives in the street
For living no one touches your feet
No possessor of mankind, no deprived slave,
I promise I'll love you there,
With all my rave.

Just there when you open the door
To the strangers to help them more
No destitute dies like an eternal waste
I'll be with you there,
And love you my best.

Where there is no cultural debate
A place where no religions to hate
People live life like as it is
I promise I'll love you there,
Like an open breeze.

Just there where my brothers don't fight
No war and no soldiers on either side
No discriminations for and colour and race
I'll be waiting for you there,
To see your angelic face.

Where there is no boundary to confine people
No one fights for religious steeple
No holy war to put life in a swirl
I promise I'll love you there,
In that blessed world...

Curtain Fall Lullaby

This is a poem I recently wrote and its on abortion. I understand the topic is a very sensitive one, but the views expressed here are mine alone, and I must ask you to keep that in mind while reading it...

Unraveling fingers never knew the touch
Of a mother's love or cradling embrace;
Disallowed voice, not granted as much
As a half attempt in this nine month race.

Eyelids never opened to sunlight,
Nor did bare blue that would fine-tune;
Blissful daybreak an unseen sight,
Alike shimmering glow of full moon.

The leaves of Autumn never did fall,
Summer's heat wasn't once felt;
Ears never did listen to Spring's calls,
Eyes never watched snow slowly melt.

Precious laughter never spoke aloud,
The joyous tones were forever hushed;
Pressures heard from judging crowd
Decided all that was to be rushed.

Angelic whispers of hair never grew,
Smiles hidden on blushed cheeks;
For all was taken before date due,
So many years stolen in mere weeks.

Nameless, unknown and without voice
First hello overlooked with goodbye;
All was decided in a single choice,
Society sang its curtain fall lullaby.

Floating in a distant, timeless land,
Playful spirit knows none of this;
Life's gifts they'll never understand,
All that is to be innocently missed...

Indecision

My heart's full of indecision
I long for and hate this incision

Confusing heartbeats smother my past
I really know that it won't last

It never goes anywhere
They all give up before I'm there

I push you ever so far away
But my heart cries out for you to stay

This wall can break, but you'll not see
They always give up and always leave me

I realize now there's more to gain
My heart's blood will fall like rain

You have someone dear to you
I can't believe; I thought you knew

I knew it was too good to be true
Souls like mine are one too few

This will fade, I know it will be so,
But it still hurts to watch you go

My heart's full of indecision
You've already made the incision...

My Pesky Squirrels

Yup I'm sure you've seen them lotsa times but a poem about squirrels? Well here's one for all the animal lovers...

You tear up my chairs
To line your nests
Use what you want
Then scatter the rest

All over my deck
You mark your spot
Man, does that stink
When the weather is hot

You dig up my plants
Devour the remains
Bury what's left
In my storm drains

Just leave the berries
Until they ferment
Then go on a toot
Seemingly hell bent

You clatter and chatter
All through the day
Until my neighbours
Chase you away

Still in all I must admit
Despite all your shenanigans
I'm blessed each morning
When you return again...

Friends

I guess the title pretty much sums it up...

We may fight
But our friendship is outta sight
You pick me up when I fall
You make sure I stand tall
I love you like the sister/brother I never had
And you check on me when I feel sad
You and I both talk smack
But we have a real friendship and that's a fact
You make me face my fears
And when one cries we both shed tears...

What Makes A Dad

A tribute to my dad on the recent Father's Day...

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, he called it... Dad.

NB: This is NOT an original composition by me, but by a guy named Penny Parker. This is a poem that really touched my heart, so I've posted it...

Life's Many Addresses

The first of many melancholy poems to come...

Life started out
On Happy Street
Carefree times
Memories sweet.

Drifting on
To the Drive of Dreams
Wishing stars
Alluring moonbeams.

The Road to Success
Where ambitions thrived
My new abode
For which I'd strived.

Down the path of Life
Came an unexpected twist
Stumbling I fell
Into a vague mist.

The Avenue of Clouds
My next address
Where reality lives
And dreams regress.

Happiness wilted
As greed did gain
Now living alone
In Memory Lane.

Life is a journey,
An unforgiving track,
Just one way traffic
With no way back...

All Of The Parts

A poem I wrote to help out a friend in his relationship. And boy, it worked... One of my first major triumphs as a poet... :D

I remember those days our love was deep,
How we kissed under starlit skies,
Both so in love our hearts would race
Just gazing in the other one's eyes.

Not since your touch have I felt so alive,
Or so scared you might disappear,
Time has passed us by quickly,
What I have feared is now here.

Parts of me have to still live in your mind,
Perhaps memories faded and old,
Kept for those nights you lay by yourself
Feeling so lonely and cold.

If only I could find my way once again
To come and hand you my heart,
But both of us know it's in pieces
And I can't find all of the parts...

The New Cook

This is a total time-pass poem i wrote once, just for da hec of it. I have absolutely NOTHING against cooks or their profession and if you are a chef, please DON'T sue me...

Good morning, staff and students,
We have a brand new cook,
And that's why our lunch menu
Will have a brand new look.

To make a good impression,
Our cook's prepared a treat:
Your choice of snapping turtle soup
Or deep-fried monkey meat.

If you're a vegetarian,
We have good news today:
She's serving pickled cauliflower
And jellyfish souffle.

And for dessert our cook has made
A recipe from France:
I'm sure you'll all want seconds
Of chocolate-covered ants.

I hope you like this gourmet feast,
I hope you won't complain;
But if you do we all have to bring
Our old cook back again...

Rewriting The World

This is a poem i dedicate to all the great friends I've met along the journey of Life. Thanks a lot for being there when I needed you the most!!!

Not another fairytale ending
Or something pulled from a book
Not another farewell sending
With one quick backward look.

It always seems the same,
Everyday, everyone, every way,
When the sun went and came
I wish I can throw everything away.

I wish I could throw away everything,
All those meaningless notes and words
Because we both know that forever
These notes and feelings will go unheard.

So if you dare, come join me,
And together, let us burn the words,
The words written down in blood and ink
And together, write our own little world.

Where we can be together, as one,
The two of us, just you and I,
And we will be each others' company
And protection until the day we die.

But if you betray this whatsoever
It's you who shall be paying
For the world that you destroyed
It will be mercy you'll be craving.

Yes, but i swear to you in deepest secrecy,
No word of yours that I may or may not hear
Shall ever pass from between these two lips,
Lest i fail in friendship for you, my dear...

Don't Ever Say Goodbye

This is one of the first poems I ever wrote, a long time ago for a friend whom I dearly loved and who was taken from me by fate. The years have passed and her memories have blurred, but this poem lingers on in my heart...

I could search beyond the never ending stars
Beyond the depths of the deepest oceans,
To look for something that is ours
And not one word can describe these emotions.

Its those eyes of gold
And that heart you hold,
Its you I want to see
With you I want to be.

I just want everything to go so right
And for things to reach a never-ending height,
This is a feeling I have never once got
You've got my heart all up in a knot.

I'm just so glad I've met you
You're just too good to be true,
I don't want you to leave my lonely side
Please girl, don't ever say goodbye...
