Bored, Stole Half the Poem

You were my sunshine, my only sunshine
You made me happy when skies were grey
But now your love, dear, is no longer mine
Now we are strangers with nothing to say.

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you close in my arms
So sad it wasn't so, my heart is now weeping
Since it remembered how your kiss warms.

I've always meant to make you happy
I know you tried to do the same.
And while this may sound so very sappy
I'll always be your Sire and you my Dame.

To Kiss

Dear Miss,

to kiss your lips is all I miss

to leave this abyss and reach my bliss

so long since I have sipped & savor

your source of sweet sincerity, my savior

You tore my heart apart

You tore my heart apart

& all hopes you narrow

You left a fraction, a part

always pierced by an arrow

To you, I'll soon be nobody

at least that is my insight

I'll be a soul with no body

A man that's hollow inside

Now I'm of so many, one

who aspires to become

free from needing anyone

to avoid angst and be calm.

Her Dress is Black

her dress is black, like the night

she is my queen, I her knight

her eyes, two big bright blue stars.

with a look that leaves me scars.

her hair so fair that it flares

and I must avoid to stare

her voice so sweat and smooth,

lures me in and speaks the truth

 I wish I knew how she feels

the wait just brings all my ills

will she date me? will she not?

does she think I am hot?

I often lose all my hope

think of myself a big dope

for trying to win her over

makes me wish I wasn't sober

but I know she's worth all pain

without the hurt there's no gain

so for love I'll sway night and day

or up until she blows me away.

The Smell of Peaches

I once knew a girl who smelled of peaches.

She broke my heart, and it now needs stitches

She's real smart, biology she teaches

In comparison, all other girls were... not as great.
