You're The Reason Why Like a silent movie He glides beside her humming inaudible Whispers Of I love you not’s Into the cracks of her shattered heart Invoking childhood daydreams in black and white of dragons, knights, and castles Trying to press pass the illusion of the tall tower and being rescued She wonders if she’s too old for picture books Misty eyed again, She looks up from her empty glass as a tear drop falls But with a stolen glance he catches her before she hits the ground possibly, maybe her heart drops Gently scooting his stool closer to her chair his hand begins a small wave gliding slowly through the air Softly running his fingers through her uncombed hair Exploring her face he traces long forgotten smile lines like a road map of her yesterdays And she like one-legged ballerina begins to wobble Drunkenly in anticipation of love His rough lips trace the corners of her mouth tugging them into a smile But suddenly, She feels something all too familiar The clock strikes 12 and she is reminded that There are no princes, castles, dungeons, or dragons only star crossed lovers Without a word she blows him a kiss goodbye And tip-toes across black and white images into the Tomb with some poison and a dagger By: Amanda Samoyloff Talking Emotions Alone I shed My sorrow’s plight. I look for rapture My soul's delight. Echoes still pouncing Each day anew. My heart still rains, Blue blue blue. Each day each night, Through toil and sinew, My rain still fights, It still loves you. Image so gray Such blinding sun, Without your presence, My life's a gun. Shades so dark Without your kiss, No more mornings, No more bliss. I miss your glee. I miss your smile. I cannot sleep. It's been awhile. And though I'm void, Each morning wake, Your memories give birth, Like my life's at stake. I thought to venture, To lay it on the line. But my pride would not surrender, I ran out of time. By: Johnathan Leonard Mills I'm Building A House My house is sturdy in constitution, Upright in every way. ...And When We Danced, the World Stood Still To my woman to be ...And when our eyes met, we became as one,and your beauty cast forth, the scent of your love. It eluded me at first, And then it came... Flailing from the air. It encompassed my mind and body, As your tenderness embraced me. Your love entranced me, As you kissed me, Gently behind the ear. And the warmth of your love Enraptured me, As the bonds of your body Caressed me. And we danced, And we danced, While the world stood still By: Johnathan Leonard Mills |
