Silly Rhyme

To the girl who picks up my slack
To the girl who always gives back
The girl who makes me feel brave
The girl for whom I'd kill to save.

You fill my mind like no other before
You leave me begging, wanting for more
Give me a chance, I won't make you pay
For the time that you've lent me, I'm here to stay.

Any time that you pay me a smile
You make all the pain before worthwhile
For you open my heart and cleanse my mind
I leave all my sorrow and troubles behind.

It's been months now, since I've set my heart
My mind is set, I'm playing the part
Of the one you can count on, no matter the night
To try and fill your mind with delight.

For you I'd cast my island ashore
I like independance, but it's time for more
Another in my life with whom I can trust
My feelings of emptiness, depression, and lust.

I'll play it cool, like I don't really care
But the loss of your company would fill me with despair
For I enjoy your presence, most of the time
But all I can show for it is this silly rhyme.

Dew

Queen of perfection and beauty
Oh Dawn, preceding Day
More intelligent and alluring
Than flowers in May.

Nymph of my life
Let me serenade you
With tales of wonder
And a field of dew.

Once I recall
Viewing your radiance
From an open field of life
With a glowing ambiance.

You arose from the horizon
Took my breath away
You smothered my melancholy
But you weren't here to stay.

You passed me by
And took my heart
But you continued you path
And it tore me apart.

Why, oh why
Did you entrance my soul?
For now
The moments without you are dull.

All I can do
Is long for your eye
And pray your return
So our love can let fly.

Poisonous Snake

You've cast out your line and I've taken your bait
I'm stuck on your hook but you continue to wait
You reel me in but then cast me back out
It's a painful jarring feeling of immense amount.

You pull me so close I can almost see your face
But then you see mine and you're filled with disgrace
Never could you be caught dead with someone like me
So you let your line loose and cast me back out to sea.

But you never let loose the hook in my heart
You reel me back in and it tears me apart
Whenever you're in need of a love-filled praise
You call on me so I can brighten your days.

But every time you pull in the slack from the line
You tell me you want me, you want to be mine
But as I draw near your familiar shape
You cast me out again like a poisonous snake.
