his guitar sits on a corner
the strings yearned to be strummed once more
to be touched by those loving hands
whose gift was like the voice of an angel
but his music ceased to be heard
his guitar would no longer be played
for he has been called by the maker
i remember his songs
the safety in his voice
and the joy, the joy he shared
the guitar man, that’s what i remember
like a faded photograph, etched in my memory
like beautiful poetry, written in the pages of eternity
the guitar man would no longer play for me
his voice, now a mere echo
but his music lives on forever
his melody is in my heart
so goodbye for now, my guitar man
i will see you again
singing with angels

remember that day when we used to…
and then you said…
i just smiled and…
we were happy
i was reading through your letters when…
that letter you sent brought…
your thoughts were so…
and i sighed
i still…
but then again, it’s…
how do i find it? i think…
and it’s all in the past
but how could i…
when all i see is…
and all the memories…
and i stopped thinking
so what do i…
when i know that…
and you’re…
you have captured my thoughts
i fell like…
when i see you…
and hold myself back because…
but you’re already gone
so how do i…
when the pages are…
nothing to say but…
and sometimes i just…
this way

in my bed
there’s a space for you
come lay down
i am waiting
in my bed
i lie alone
so won’t you sleep
beside my lonely heart tonight
in my bed
my dreams, my thoughts
are all of you
i stay awake, because of you
in my bed
i see the night stars
waiting for morning
praying you’d stay
in my bed
where the sheets stay
undisturbed
under the covers, my pillow sits alone
in my bed
my heart awaits
for the night you’d say
let’s lie here, this way
keep on playing

here we go
just turned a new leaf
am given a blank sheet
and i ain’t looking back
never looking back
i have learned my lessons
kept the memories
will keep moving forward
nowhere else to go
and the morning looks bright
steps no longer unsure
no more hesitations
i’m not looking back
will look to the future
color it wildly
i’m on my way
and i’m never looking back
have done what needs to be done
will leave the drama behind
no more tears, i’ll come out smiling
tied all the loose ends
and i am never looking back
i’m here, and no one can stop me
this is my year
and i’m not looking back
midnight
Posted by: cofiboi on: December 5, 2010
where dreams awake
and reality slumbers
the moon smiles and the stars,
fiery like candles
burns away the remnants of day
night stands proud and the sun
hides behind the cloak of the blackest of skies
dawn still sleeps
midnight
i lay beside you
silent, like a shadow
i plant a kiss, yet you do not stir
outside, the wind whispers your name
and we are still
midnight
black, like satin, flowing freely
smooth like the still waters
cold like december
sleep slowly creeping, like my fingers combing your hair
midnight
you wake and smile
teeth like diamonds gleaming
in the dark
you take me
and i, you
midnight
the wolves howl
and i moan
deep. deeper into the darkness
silken kisses, masking the hunger
that night awakened
at midnight.
this ends, now

i no longer recognize your face
your smile ceased to be warm and inviting
your touch, cold like death
i shiver in fear whenever you come near
i no longer understand your language
the words you speak like shards of glass
wounding my heart
i bleed, like a dying soldier
begging for death to take me
but i see only you, standing over me
the dark shadow over my dark days
you have changed when i have not
i no longer trust you
i no longer love you
i no longer yearn to be in your arms
for there is no love to be found there
only hurt and pain and suffering
and tears
my feet, too tired to walk away
but my soul no longer wants to stay
this too shall pass, so they say
but this ends, now
secrets
Posted by: cofiboi on: October 11, 2010
tell me
what secrets do you keep?
what lies behind those eyes?
the words hidden behind your lips?
what thoughts hide in your fertile mind?
i want to know
the secrets, your secrets, your story
the truths and the lies you carry
locked in your heart, never to see the light
but i need to know
i want to know
tell me the words you do not utter
but say in the loneliness of the night
tell me, the meaning of your smile
the reason why
you hide things, you keep things
tell me the whys
and the reasons for the things that keep you sane
i want to know
because i know, your secrets will save me

i remember
because my heart would not let me forget
the smell of you on me
your breath that tickled my ear
your fingers softly brushing the dreams away from my eyes
like sunlight
when day breaks
i remember the curve of your back
when i pull you close
closer than any man has ever been
your sweat, like dew on my lips
slow rush, dancing to the music in our heads
playing over and over and over
i remember your kiss
that salty aftertaste when our lips part
and you cover my mouth again, panting, hungry, devouring my soul
breaking down my wall, my defenses, crossing through my moat with ease
i remember
because my heart would not let me forget
