My Perfect Goodnight

Laying in our bed I see you there, a vision of love and hope, so pure,
I lose myself in your eyes, twinkling away in that black satin sky, with oh so much allure.

I love the way you look into my soul and tap into the real inner me,
The touch of your fingers, running over my lips, makes me feel giddy.

Your warm gentle caress soothes my heart and lights up my world and my mind,
You chase away all the fears, the pain and the hurt and in you, my strength do I find.

Bringing me close and holding me tight, loving me all night long,
A dream that came true, for me and for you, yes this is our happy song.

Meaningless

I sit here alone and cry,
I can't bring myself joy, I won't lie.
I can't be me, I don't know who I am yet.
when will I know, how will I grow?
A fucking love fool, I'll bet.

Give me the strength to go back and rewind,
let me find the truth amongst all your lies,
Help me, heal me from the lingering spies,
who follow me around in the shadow of my mind

I want to erase you, you mean nothing and everything to me.
Leave me alone and just let me be.

I hate you, why won't you leave?

I liked the last two as well.  Recent inspirations or had you been sitting on those?  Sadly, I've not been able to tap my poetic juices of late.  I've been working on a short story though.  Guess that's something.


true love waits... i guess.

seeing as i've recently come to the realization that words are only clumsy attempts to convey something amazing and wonderfully unique, i won't say anymore about your poems.

full circle has certain personal significance as well.

Whenever I re-read 'Full Circle' it still brings back a whole wave of emotions for me...

Have you any poems, Jordan?

Also, does anyone else struggle to write poetry when they're happy too? I find it so, so much easier when I'm unhappy, to let it all out! Once I start, I just can't stop sometimes!

I found what I was looking for just searching, around
I cried for what I was crying for just waiting around
And I felt what I was feeling for just feeling, around

The World is so big
And they're tears in your eyes
I would take you on a walk but you'd run from the lies
Because the World is so big
There are millions of other guys
But you chose to stay with me and chose to lie
Cause the World is so big
And there are tears in my eyes...

I never knew the thoughts would pass
You always seem to surpass every other memory
They are like an open book
I remember the night we first shook
And we told each other simple words
Mine was true, how about you?
Did you tell me the solemn truth?
Or were you using me like you used to do?

Failing to contain the pain inside of me
Thinking about the stuff you took from me
Ripping my life away...
Cruelly slapping my significance on this World
Harmfully putting yourself in danger
This is not how you should take out your anger...

This is the way you take out your anger...
Exclude the violence
Exclude the knife
Exclude the hatred
Can we please forget our last fight

I know I can't...
Cause that's when you left me

Running Late
----------------------------
Well am I asking too much for you to come see me
Cause it's been 2 months going on three this evening

You see mom's been doing alright without you at night
But I gotta admit it's taken me for a ride
And somewhere out there, there are words you wrote
And even more you spoke in this cloudy sky that I still hold onto so tight

Not knowing you is showing on me more and more
Cause I can't remember the last time I felt much worse

So maybe when you get done with all that you've just begun
You'll find the time to be my best friend, listen and read to me again.

Well I'm all grown up right now... And I guess all these years left us some how.

I don't believe in all those stories you told, either... Santa clause or the easter bunny, not even the tooth fairy who left me all that money.

I don't believe in catch, kites or riding bikes... Going into the woods on an endless hike, then realizing we never even left our neighboorhood.

I don't believe in bithday wishes, all the promises of going fishing but the one thing I still can't believe no more, is all the stories of how or why you couldn't come thru my front door.
---------------------------------------

Just wrote this one... It's alright. Not my best...

You know they made a movie about the end of the world
It was 12 seconds long and didn't have a plot

The light is on
The light is ours
The light is just the sun
A thumb nail sketch of god

And the camera moves past the desolate streets
Over the quiet city where nobody sleeps
Over all the places and all the faces
We would go and we would greet

The light is on
The light is ours
The light is just the sun
A thumb nail sketch of god

And then the credits roll
Over black canvas, a painting, a portrait
Bodies and buildings strewn about
No one to say, scream or shout

Fade out
Fade out

Here's some of my early stuff from age 17-20 - it was strange re-reading some of it! I can still remember when I wrote them too!!

Losing That Fear

 Why is it so important to our peace of mind,
 The truth, the secrets, the lies to find?
 Honesty, this policy, the best and the rest,
 Tell me what’s up and uncover this mess.

 Hearing this unsavoury news, not a surprise,
 Pushing to recover our minds with despise.
 Clawing and creeping, feeling and failing,
 Hoping, ignoring, finding out and wailing.

 Stupid, stupid, again and again,
 Allowing ourselves to be torn by a friend.
 Why? Someone answer me why does life treat me bad?
 Or is life’s experience twisted to make me mad?

 Players, cheaters, liars and believers,
 Fools with dreams and soft hearts, oh hear us!
 Stop! Before time comes when we say,
 Break us twice, no more play for days.


Sweet Sweet Music

   Listen to my heart, look deep into my eyes,
   Tell me what you see, tell me no lies.
   Feel my heart racing, touch all my dreams ,
   Work all my wishes, rip all those seams.

   Hold me near.
   Have no fear.
   Feel me here.

   Master your rhythm, move with my groove,
   Ravish these instruments, these love tools so smooth.
   Poke this fire burning inside, let it all grow,
   Raging passions promising a satisfying glow.

   Give yourself over to absolute pleasure,
   Whisper sweet words to treasure forever.
   Discovering dimensions with words so few,
   Relishing your words with I love you.


Hopeful Wonders

Searching for stars gleaming in the sky,
Reaching far off places higher than high.
Hold this thought, eyes shut mind new,
Love, warmth and truth they bring to you.

Twinkling away in that black, satin sight,
Mind at ease with nature’s plight.
They serve you, teach you, command and more,
So many stepping-stones to that heavenly door.

Eyes open wide, deep breaths, all this is yours,
Remembering all those future doors,
Will in turn keep your spirit free, inner soul pure,
The power of this peace, it holds lust, so much allure.

Feel it, be it, keep yourself true,
Life and its passions awaiting you.
Destiny will choose the right star in time,
This star will no less, be bursting with shine.

Never let go of your dreams.


Morning Light

Reflections of the love that used to be,  
Images, crazy images yes, you and me.
Laughing to yourself, them good old days so great,
Aching and breaking and twisting, too late.

Time for no other, jeez, opportunities and wonders missed,
No place, no love, fears, tears, get pissed.
Fly free like that bird, without no care, got no worm,
You wake early, routine burly, sit and think, you squirm.

Move on, move on, time heal, heal in time,
Bet you money, make you rich, make him mine.
Boo! Wake up fool! This morning beautiful gift from God.
Count yourself, respect yourself, forget yourself, this hold.

Repeat after me, come on, you’ll see,
Repeat, repeat, let no defeat, defeat me.
Here you are, for you are here,
Confused? Wake up! Now where’s that fear?
