Poetry Collection 157

To The Renaissance Gypsy Dancers II
La Leila I see you dancing every minute of the day
I see your radiance beaming my way
Your beauty is like the sun
It shines above everyone
I stutter in awe of the mystery
That you gladly choose to remember me
La Leila my love is still mixed with fear and pain
That being more than friends would be in vain

Trying
You never gave me a chance
It was a one sided romance
Perhaps you didn't know or were in denial
But you saw me trying at every trial
I requested mutual affection and was denied
Every time proving my worth to you, I tried
Mutual love was all I was trying to achieve
To say you never knew is hard to believe
Because I doubt your perception to be so naive

The Girl I Love
There's a girl I love with sparkling eyes and tender hair
I've tried to say I love her but I couldn't dare
I've always cared for her as a lover and a friend
And I'll love her the same till my end
And if she says no as my lover
I will always remain a friend to her
And if she says she loves me too
I'll keep the romantic spark fresh and new

The Monkees (Film) Scene XXI

(Davy calling Sharon)
Davy: Hey Sharon please listen to me.
Sharon: No
Davy: I understand why you don't believe me when I say I love you but if I wanted to keep a relationship with you do you think it would have been wise of me to disclose my dating history.
Sharon: What makes you think you actually love me?
Davy: Hey I have been in love before but that's irrelevant
Sharon: How?
Davy: Most of my relationships had nothing to do with love but many did but none were as strong as ours. Many girls I remember fondly but you're the best (song: I Love You Better)
I one went with a belly dancer (Lum do dee ally day)
One around I didn't stand a chance a (Lum do dee ally day)
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better
Then I went with a gospel singer (Lum do dee ally day)
She tried to wrap me around her finger, now (Lum do dee ally day)
But I say
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better
Ha, ha, ha, lum do dee ally day.
Ha, ha, ha, lum do dee ally day.
I once went with a history teacher (Lum do dee ally day)
I really tried but I couldn't reach her (Lum do dee ally day)
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better
Well, let me tell you now
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better
Ha, ha, ha, lum do dee ally day
Ha, ha, ha, lum do dee ally day
There were some that I can't remember (Lum do dee ally day)
Think I went with Miss November (Lum do dee ally day)
But I say
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better.

The Monkees (film) Scene XX

(Micky, Peter on a car of the train sitting across from each other)
Micky: Why are you so worried Shannon is becoming distant?
Peter: She's showing the signs the other girls did.
Micky: No the others were after Davy, Shannon isn't.
Peter: But she's losing interest.
Micky: How do you know?
Peter: There's a way too familiar feeling about her and the feelings I'm familiar with aren't good (song: The Girl I Knew Somewhere)
You tell me that you've never been this way before.
You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere.
You're standing in the places and you're
staring down through faces, that bring to mind traces
of a girl, a girl that I knew somewhere.
I just can't put my finger on what it is
that says to me "Watch out! Don't believe her."
I can't give any reasons girl,
my thoughts are bound down in a whirl.
I just can't think who in the world was that girl;
I know I met her somewhere.
Someway, somehow this same thing was done.
Someone, somewhere did me this same wrong.
Well, goodbye dear, I just can't take this chance again.
My fingers are still burning from the last time.
And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame.
That's as may be, I can't explain.
Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere.

Poetry Post 156

The Greatest Affliction
I've been trapped in an addiction
Stuck with an affliction
I've dug a hole too deep
And the climb is too steep
I know I can't do what I should
I would do it if I could
But I have fallen from grace
Unworthy to the human race

I Fail
I fail every time I try
I can never laugh I can only cry
I do not know I can only ask why
Sometimes I feel like I could die
Every time I try I fail
And my life grows bleak and pale
All I do is weep and wail
I ought to go away and set sail

Twenty Year Old Loser
No job no money no transportation
Twenty years of unfulfilled expectation
Day by day my future becomes my past
I don't know how long my childhood can last
It's not that I don't follow through
But something goes mysteriously wrong at the job interview
Hopes of being employed
Are quickly destroyed
Each time I get their reply
They say no without why
If it's experience I got to start somewhere
They know I need the work to pay the bills why don't they care
My friends passed on a good reference
But it doesn't make any difference
I didn't get hired
Jobless till I've expired

War Politics
People say they love America because it's neutral
But the politics of America aren't even mutual
We take whatever they have to trade
And send them an army brigade
It's true every land that we spoil
Seems to strike oil
But if you don't agree that this is true
Don't attack if you can't defend your point of view

Wasted Work Ethic
A twenty level building, in each floor its own universe
Nobody explores the other realms, they just stay the course
The course of being stationary to each their own cubicle they go
Passerbys in awkward silence are the people they know
Never looking out, never speaking out, never getting out
Without seeing more seeking more you'll only know doubt
Wasted work ethic have killed humanity
Tied to our desks we don't know how to be free

Drafted III

Out on the battlefield
Next to a hundred souls killed
Staying in the foxhole to survive
Knowing its better not to kill and stay alive
It's sad to see how few amount of people knew
That you should do to others only only what you'd wish them to do to you
And that to murder
Is to lose the greater war

Poetry Post 154

Faith In Humankind
It seems that this world has become such a cold hearted place
All the love in the world couldn't fill the smallest space
But the reason why I still have faith in humankind
Is that with you a good heart is always easy to find

My Soul
You got my soul
In your control
You took over my mind
You're in every thought I find
You were in my heart
From the very start
You flow in every vein
And I hope not in vain
But what I lack and desire much
Is to feel you in my touch

Seduction
Your pleasure is the finest prize to win
Next to caressing your honeydew skin
That gives you that glamorous and grateful grin
Systematically satisfying two with the same sin
The ecstasy was more than I would have ever believed
The sheer joy of the intimacy was more than I had ever received
Your vainless love showed me what I could achieve
Until I wake up just in time to see you leave
