TEMPEST
How Like a tempest is this wailing child
Who rages here disconsolate and pretty;
Her piercing shriek's like some wind fierce and wild
Chilling my soul and flooding me with pity!
Torrential tears are storming from her eyes
While in this cloud more dismal and more gray
Than ever I saw

Odd chums one finds in those foreign climes
Where the sun beats down all day.
And the weirdest bunch with whom I've lunched
Are the boys of the Green Beret.
Private Dan was a boy not a man
When he left the states for the war;
Then he caught a shell

Winter's harsh winds will nip at your soft face
Summer's scorching heat will burn your smooth skin
I will remain in the same soothing place
I will be the calm love you feel within.
Others will tempt you not with love but lust
They will try to make your love for me bend
Recall I

Part your lips to form a smile
The look of love speaks so clear.
Pull me in close
Keep me near.
Trace your hand across my cheek
Gently caress my lips with yours.
Thunder crashes around us
Outside it pours.
Safe in our world
Wrapped in your arms.
Outside the

A paradise so clear
A wonderland of bliss
A life is changed with just one kiss.
An intimate bond
A feeling from the heart
A realization that you are not to be apart.
A wondrous summer day
A sky so blue
A perfect day ends with an "I Do."

She cries blood
Tears of her veins
The crimson droplets
Trickle down her porcelain skin.
The origin--unknown.
The destination--heartache.
The path--loneliness.
Her life begins to gush
Through the orifices her scarlet liquid roars
One minute until death
But wait!
A kiss--
From a ghost?
From her prince?
Saved!

Pain like a knife
Digging into my heart
Each beat kills me more
Until I die
Each beat a constant reminder
Of the pain of you--
The knife.
Pull it out slowly
Careful not to tear
The delicate

"Please don't leave me " is what I said
"Just five more minutes?"
But you ran out to your car instead.
I sat there amazed
You left so easily.
I was confused and dazed.
On your way home you wondered if you were right
To leave me all alone--
Or would you

Identity stolen.
Five minutes of pleasure.
Five minutes of despair.
Lifetime of pain.
Identity robbed.
Stolen innocence
Faked youth.
Identity surreal.
Denial of acts
Committed.
Heinous acts
For five minutes of pleasure
Five minutes of despair.
Lifetime of identity

So captivating.
Your eyes so turquoise
Perfectly clear
Dancing in the light
Like the midnight stars.
One look is all it took.
I'm encompassed.
Taken back.
You stole the breath from my lungs
Left me speechless.
All I can do is stare.
You hold me in a trance
My body unable

All these emotions
Devotions
Promotions
Leading to the notion of love.
Tears.
Fears.
Trying to kick in to gear.
All the past lies
Cries
Guys
Are stopping me from you.
So hope
Don't mope
Don't elope from the idea
One day I'll be yours.
The pain will

My heart is desolate
Abandoned by everyone who once resided here.
I invited them to stay--
But everyone went stray.
I'm left with an empty chest
I promise I gave them my best.
Didn't meet their expectations
They had to search for better.
Why was I not good enough?
Why make it
