Tears Down My Cheeks

Tears Down my Cheeks
-------------------------------
When i see your smile,
Tears roll down my cheeks,
Because every time you smile for awhile,
A piece of my breaks of, leaks
Into my shallow pool of misery,
Because your something to me,
A desired goal,
Never going to be able to reach,
And i dont know why, But im sick of feeling this way,
Im sick of thinking of us with an array
Of light blinding us, Distracting us, Holding
Onto us, forever as I imagine,
Us growing old together, aging
Slightly, Hasten,
A slight work of fiction,
Is me being with you,
And as much as i want to give up,
Im unable to, because i am once and forever,
In love with you.

Lost my Breath

Lost my Breath
---------------
I keep waiting for my breath,
To come back,
But it never does,
So come finish me off,
Break my heart with.

Noone should be seperated from the one they love,
Cause it shatters spirits,
Shatters hopes,
Causes one's self worth,
To be abolished,
Demolished,
Lost without hope to change,
To be what it once was,
That first time he or she looked into your eyes,
When their heart skipped that beat,
The way their hands shook your's good bye,
Because in that first instance of heat
Between the two of us,
Between the two of anyone,
Forever,
Gone.

So run after the one who stole your breath,
Maybe they'll be their to catch you,
Cause maybe they never forgot you,
Cause maybe, just maybe,
You meant something to them,
Barely,
A small gem,
That sparkled to that one person,
Whos first eye contact,
Sparkled, a recipricol action,
Whos smile cracked,
Your fragile heart,
And you know deep down,
Only that one person can make it right.

New Year

HAPPY NEW YEARS

New Year
-------------
With the new year passing, its time for us to say goodbye,
We celebrated the year together, mostly,
With the consistant beating of myself,
To get you to notice me, finally,
But with this new year,
Im setting a goals,
Tto find you,
To show myself to you once more,
Maybe this time, it will be forever
Me and you, can share our love and travel afar,
Tour the world, or local bar,
We can head to places, unknown,
Or right back home,
As long as im with you,
So this is my resolution,
My own personal constitution,
Of laws i set on myself,
Forever, till the new year comes again,
Hopefully when i wake up in bed,
I wont be depressed,
More ill likely express,
My everlasting devotion to you,
Soon.

I cant move along

Hmm, so this poem is a really bad one, the theme changes to drastically over the poem but i promised myself id write 2 poems everyday for the month of december, so here it is.

I cant move along
--------------------
I wish for you to,
Hold me close,
Hold me tight,
A salute of altos,
Lead to the daylight,
The backbite,
The foresight to our future together,
Within the bitter bite of the cold winter night,
To the sun drenched summer delight,
Of being in your arms,
Your beautiful charms
Hidden in your smile creeks,
The past of a lonely maverick,
The distant car horns,
Telling us to move along,
To get you out of my life,
A neverending strife
Ive been trying to acheive,
But i cant move along,
I cant say a " So long "
So go while you waste your day thinking,
While im just sinking,
Into a shallow pool of self misery,
Trying to keep myself busy,
Writing this poetry,
Barely,
Forcing myself,
Pushing myself,
To move along.

~Daniel Chapman

As To Why?

So i just got a resurgence of emotions from watching a video of someone dear to me and wrote another poem :

As To Why?
---------------
Why cant i explain this,
Its at the tip of my tongue,
As to why?
Why your so captivating,
Exhilarating,
Hilarious,
Never afraid to make a fool of yourself,
Just to be with you by myself,
You know how to have a good time,
And not afraid of the why,
The why you do these things,
But i dont care, All those lemmings,
They just walk on with their dreary lives,
But im cast aside,
To notice you, To be akin to you,
But I love to ensue
Your acts, to follow along and misconstrue
Your actions, As if a cue
For you to pretend to care,
As long as im not there afterwards,
But we both know were just a bunch of nerds,
So as a final word of passing,
A sortve docking of my faulting,
Because even though its over,
I cant find my center.

~Daniel Chapman

Sleep

Again, why dont i like my own poetry anymore? I guess it seems maybe forced, like theres not enough emotion backing it, or maybe not the right kind anymore. Maybe this poetic therapy does work??

Sleep
--------
The moon is down,
The sun is rising,
I guess i should to,
But when i do, i never see you.

I wish i could,
I wish i could wake up to your face every morning,
Just so i can watch you sleep,
listen to your gently snoring,
Which others think may be boring,
But when i see your cute little cheeks, your dimples steeked
Into the corners of your mouth,
As you smile, which brightens my day from square one,
A beacon of hope, an omen of good faith,
A refusal to mope, as I start my day.

But just watching you sleep, i could do for ever,
Staying up late, while your passed away,
Unaware of my lingering eyes,
That pass your body like elevators to the skies.

A haunting chill passes down my spine,
As i come to realize,
That this is untrue,
For i never get to see you,
I dont know what its like to see your rosy cheeks,
Gently expanded by the the air, you exhale, you speak,
A disgruntled groan, I can only imagine,
That is, untill you take that one step with me, into the eden.

~Daniel Chapman

Incase I fall

So i just wrote this one, and like the previous one, there are parts i dont like, but i feel it comes together in the end.

In case I Fall
-------------
I start to breath heavy,
I start to stumble,
I start to wobble,
I start to fall, While you just watch me,
You dont care, you come help me up,
But its out of courtesy, and sincerity,
But i just wish that your beautiful eyes,
Would start to look at me,
Your lungs would start to get heavy,
Your heart beat pulsing, through your chest,
Your blood flowing, with no rest,
Id help you up, not out of courtesy,
But out of love, out of compassion,
Out of caring for you,
Because i do,
Everything i do, is for you,
Its not clear, but i go out of my way to make your life easier,
I put up with others,
Its not easy, but its something i feel i must do,
You dont care, you dont even notice,
But still i go on, Like the rivers flow, never ending,
Always defending,
Always being there to help you when your down,
Always being there to turn your life around,
Always being there, so in case i do fall,
Your there, to help me up.

~Daniel Chapman

Your my shining light

Ok so i cant really make titles for anything really, like every poem i have is untitled. But anyways, here it is:
EDIT: I THOUGHT OF A TITLE OMG!!!!!!!

Your My Shining Light
---------------
There comes a time,
When the lonely bystanders,
Come walking by and stop,
And stare and take a breath,
To watch the moment unfold,
The dawning of a new day,
Breaks to new hope,
To new life,
To shine across the stars that are now hidin,
By the gently glow of the sun,
That seems to hold
Onto those, Memorized,
Blinded by, The whos in line,
Who are boreded by their dreary lives,
Who watch after their all nighters,
The new day, becoming brighter.
They're active now, running towards the light,
Running to escape,
To be free,
Your hand in mine, we'll run together,
To be free of this world,
To escape our dreary lives,
To be together now, Hold on tight,
For the time is now, we're running fast,
The momentums building, the dream is growing,
The sun is our guiding light, directing us,
Showing us, where to go, who to be, what to do,
With you by my side, i know im where i want to be,
Being who i am,
Doing what i want to do, which is to be with you.
