My Mind's Eye

With my mind's eye I see all this is before me
Those things which are now
Those things which have yet to be
All with my mind's eye

With my mind's eye I see all that is behind me
Those things which are now
Those things which have yet to be
All with my mind's eye

Because you see those things which are, those things which were, and those things which will be are all part of the picture before my mind's eye.

2. Love Is (Excerpt)

Love is full of power and can cause the emergence of pain or passion.
Love is honesty which sometimes means being hurt, but know that there is redemption in healing.
Love is brilliant when a person is bold enough to embrace it, because only then can one understand true love's beauty.

Them

It's too much about them
what they think
what they do
how they do what they do
what they say
what it symbolizes
why they say what they say
It's too much about them
their thoughts
their acts
their todays
their yesterdays
their tomorrows
Look at me now, I've allowed them to take over my mind

*Untitled

If beauty can be seen in love
And love is pain and pain is love
Then there's no wonder why I hurt so bad

*Questions
How can I desire her and she not desire me?
How can I dream of her and she not dream of me?
How will I ever know if the feeling is mutual?
Yes, I could ask, yes I could act on my feelings, but to do so involves some risk.
Do you really care for her?
Do you really care about her?
Do you really want the chance?
Yes is the answer to all those questions, but my I want to's and my I will's haven't met yet.

I Messed It Up

I messed it up
I embarrassed myself once, twice, maybe a thousand times
I messed it up
I came on to strong and never knew how to just be easy
I messed it up
I let the whole world know my feelings, my intentions, my longings
I messed it up
I could not keep things between us
Gone is my chance at love and at life
Gone is my chance at happiness
Gone is my chance with her
Gone is it all because I messed up

She Is (Excerpt)

She is all that and more, a person who lives life with the type of zealousness which is ideal. She is amazing, she is brilliant, and she is capable of changing my life. for she has already captured my heart
and my mind.

Didn't Know

She didn't know that I liked her, atleast until last night
She may have had an idea, but she couldn't have known for sure
She asked me once before, and I avoided answering
But she has to know now

She already has a man someone she seems to care a lot about
She always brings him up and tells me all about him
She comes to me for comfort, and how I wish she'd comfort me
But we can't cross that line

She is open and honest
She is sweet and gentle
She is sexy maybe without knowing it
But I guess I shouldn't be thinking thse things

She tempts me
She draws me in
She makes me feel different
But the feeling of security won't last

She talks to me softly
She lets me touch her
She lays back on me when she's sitting on my bed and she let's me embrace her
But I can tell she feels guilty

She is what I'd like but what I know I can't have

She

She came up behind me and put her hands around my neck
I took her hands and I felt their warmth
She rubbed parts of my back
I wanted to touch her too

She sat on my bed
I came and I laid down behind her
She leaned back on me
I put my arms around her, I held her as if she were mine

She got up to leave
I felt as if part of me left with her
