The longer I sit here

I have a lot of love for him.

The longer I sit here, the more it sets in,

I’m lying through my teeth right into the mirror again.

Dreaming of a cessation, what a mind-bend,

Realities like yours are just a trend...And  I’d rather pretend.

 

I am here now and I was here before,

With no intentions I’ve had nothing to destroy

With no threat to my freedom I have no reason to deploy.

I’ve never played with you the way I did my other toys..

You were always special, they were always killjoys.

Put you on the shelf, keep you all to myself;

If asked any questions, you know me, always with stealth..

 

I smile and I wave, I’m poised and I’m brave.

With no intentions I can’t misbehave..

With no threat to my heart I have no reason to cave.

I’ve never been one to make a big rave

Or be victim to the urge of a distant craving

But I know you, always sure to amaze..

And you know me,

I’ll make this whole joint go ablaze.;

If I just so decide to make a scene..

 

Paint me a picture of the oceans and seas.

And with only words make me feel the breeze,

Maybe the sand between my toes,

Or the sun in the corner of the scene..

In other words just say hello,

You know these things are only what you perceive.

 

Weeks have a way of washing by,

and years can actually fly.

Ask anybody. If they disagree, it’s a lie.

Only when I was a child did time stand still,

When an address was a wonderland

 and worries were distilled.

When the littlest of joys caused three different kinds of thrilled.

 

Mine is a lucid mind,

I don’t understand what I pretend to,

But I understand more than I’ll admit to.

Your vicious and mine are two totally different subjects

And you’ll explain all day long but never read the sub-text,

I guess it gets me a little perplexed.. Need I say less? ?

 

With no reason or rhyme  or commitment of crime

I share with you my prestigious sublime

And I don’t think you mind..

No I don’t think you mind..

I think it’s just in time

And I think you’re first in line for the show tonight.

I don’t need Broadway for your spotlight.

 

The longer I sit here, the more it sets in,

I’m lying through my teeth right into the mirror again.

I’m kidding no one, committing no sin,

Just emptying my mind so you can fill it back up again.

This is really well written and really deep. I love how it flows from one idea to the next, like an actual thought process, but still comes back to its main focus. Thank you.

[Alicia Nicole]

Amazing writing. Everything is so well said. It's like you've found the words others always lose.

[Filibustero Ibarra]

It has a very creative scheme and flow. A deep piece this is, as deep as your friendship with the person to whom you've dedicated this poem. Excellent. Keep up :D

When we have time to think. The mind can wander to many places. I like the thoughts and the direction of this poem.
"When an address was a wonderland
and worries were distilled.
When the littlest of joys caused three different kinds of thrilled."
I like the flow of words and many strong statements in the poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.

I really enjoyed this... the flow was amazing, I could hear this as a song... I really loved your metaphors. Particularly the lines: "Paint me a picture of the oceans and seas and with only words make me feel the breeze" and "When an address was a wonderland" Really like those.
I found one typo here:
"When the littlest of joys caused three different kinds of thrilled."
I think you meant "thrills" ;)

Great poem!

Really like, 'And with only workds make me feel the breeze'. Also like the self-knowledge and admission of, 'Mine is a lucid mine ... more than I'll admit to.'

[Sunni Davis]

This is very well written. It flows through the mind with such beauty and simplicity but the words are so deep and profound. I'm touched by this poem. It speaks to me in a wonderful way.

Weeks have a way of washing by,
and years can actually fly.

The two above are my favorite lines. Why? I have lived them. The words make me feel the magnitude of the time that has passed since I last saw my love.

I LOVE this! So deep, and I can understand it in several point of views.
