Why Would I Want To Tame You
Why would I Want To Tame You
Why would I want to tame you
Wild things are meant to be free
If I could have things my way
Just you and I would make we

We Grew Up So Fast (Free Verse)
We Grew Up So Fast
My love do you remember
When we were in school
You were the debutant
And I was the fool
You were in the in crowd
I an outcast
But when we would talk
I wanted it to last
Oh how times have changed
We grew up so fast
Things are not so simple
As they were in the past
I knew I loved you
From the first day we met
One day we’ll be together
This is a sure bet
Until that day dawns
I will be here alone
Longing for your companionship
Without talking on phones

Will You Please Stay (Free Verse)
Will You Please Stay (Free Verse)
You stole my heart
And caused me to sway
The love I feel
Will not go away
What have you done
To make me feel this way
To God above
I hope and pray
That you and I
Will be one day
I don’t know what else
I should do or say
Without you near
My life is grey
Everyday I wonder
If you’re okay
While you and I
Live far away
My sanity is tested
As my nerves fray
I hope you don't leave
Will you please stay

We Always Knew (Free Verse)
We Always Knew (Free Verse)
You know what I was like
Before I started taking meds
I’d fly off the handle
And wish everyone was dead
But I had a fire
I do not have now
I could spit out a poem
Though I did not know how
We always knew
We had each others hearts
But we’d pull out our knives
Just to cut them apart
At times I wish
I still felt that anger
Although I know
At times I was a danger
So maybe its best
That I keep taking my pills
And just maybe some day
We’ll experience life’s thrills

When you will tame me
You want to tame me
This wild beast
In the jungle
Intractable
Do you say
You want to soften me
To harness me
To control me
To make me useful
To cultivate me
As one kind of
A plant or a docile
Kind of an animal?
Domesticated and
Submissive?
Will you make me
Savageless?
Deprived of zest
And spiritless?
Serviceable shall
I be to you,
Harmless and
Rendered useful
For any master?
Tame me,
You cannot
I am born a lion
And I shall never
Be as tame as your
House cat,
I live in the wild
Now and you have
Known me by the
Same name when
We first see each
Other eye to eye
On the roof, I have
Assumed the
Fierceness of the
Mockingbird, and
No one has stopped
Me mimicking all
Of you- shy and coy,
Pusillanimous, gentle,
And so manageable
Insipid and God forbid,
Dullish and insipid

You're My Lucero (Quatrain)
The night is my curse
For I can not sleep
All is calm and clear
And my thoughts are deep
You are on my mind
As you always are
You're my Lucero
That is my bright star
I can't help wonder
How on earth you are
I'll always love you
Weather near or far
You are my heart's beat
You will always be
Is it fantasy
Or do you love me
I will shout it out
'Til the day I die
'HOW DO I LOVE THEE'
And that is no lie

House Pets
THE white cat is sleeping by the fire,
With her paws tucked under her chin,
Very tame and gentle she is sleeping
Whom I saw but now come in,
Come in from the dark night and the wild wood,
A hunter with her prey she came,
And her chin and her little paws were bloody,
And she was not kind and tame,
But wild and strong and cruel with her victim,
For she let it go, and caught it as it ran,
And she tossed it in the air and danced about it,
And once she stood erect like a man.
And I thought, 'What wild things are they that we harbor,
Who bend to the routine of daily life; '
And I looked across the room and by the fire
I saw my sleeping wife.

Until Then My Love (Free Verse)
Until Then My Love (Free Verse)
I hope that we meet
In a not so distant life
Where you and I
Are husband and wife
One where we meet
In our youth
Where we grow up together
In which we are couth
We may only hope
We may even pray
That sooner or later
Will come that day
Until then my love
I just want you to know
I can only wish
That you were my beau
P.s. I tried to write this poem from a woman's view. I tried to place
myself in a woman's shoes. There are times that I try to do this in some
of my poetry. I am not sure if I do a good job or not, but I do like to try it
every now and then. If you want to look at this poem through the eyes
of a hopeless romantic guy, you can change the last word beau to bow.

Maybe A Day Will Come
Maybe A Day Will Come
If time were but a test
It would be you
Who'd stand above the rest
This much is true
When I say I love you
Its from my heart
Without you I am blue
I'm torn apart
Maybe a day will come
For us to be
Through time I have grown numb
One day we'll see
Together we'll make one
Along with we
He'll be our shining sun
Just wait and see

Who Believes Strongly In Fate (Quatrain)
Who Believes Strongly In Fate (Quatrain)
I hate you with a passion
I will never fall in love
Have we ever met before
Why do you fit like a glove
You should just get out of here
And leave me here all alone
When you are here I can't breath
Over the years you have grown
I don't think you are my type
I'm really not into guys
But if you were a woman
I would love to hear your sighs
I don't want to break your heart
You just might be my soul mate
Are you that kind of person
Who believes strongly in fate

Wonderful Life
Wonderful Life
I guess that you
Were just a figment
Of my psychotic imagination
A desperate cry
From my aching heart
And my mind
Which had fallen
In love with
Your creativity
As well as you
I guess that I
Was truly insane
In believing
That you too
Had fallen
In love with me
I hope that you
Have a
Wonderful life

Cant Tame The Lion
In the midst of a dream I swear I saw you... standing there
In a sea of emotion with faithful devotion... you were there
In heat of the night under the street lights... once again
At the edge of the fire for the love of the jungle... again and again, oh yeah
They cant tame the lion
Cant tame the lion
They cant tame the lion
One night in detroit, yes I swear I saw you... standing there
In a summer of dreams down by the river... you were there
I remember... its all so clear
In the midst of a dream, yes I swear I say you... standing there
They cant tame the lion
Cant tame the lion
They cant tame the lion
In the midst of a dream I swear I saw you... standing there
In a sea of emotion with faithful devotion... you were there
I remember... its all so clear
In the embers of reckless years
In the midst of a dream I swear I saw you... standing there
They cant tame the lion
Cant tame the lion
They cant tame the lion
At the edge of the fire, for the love of the jungle
They cant tame the lion
Cant tame the lion
They cant tame the lion

3 Musketeers (Free Verse) The Candy: (
I liked to eat you in the morning
And I would eat you late at night
When you were in my mouth
Your taste was oh so right
Now when you're in my mouth
I think you taste like shit
Your taste is oh so terrible
It makes me want to spit
How I will miss the days
When you were my best friend
Now I'm sorry I must tell you
Our relationship now must end

What's My Reason For Picking Up A Pen (Italian Sonnet)
What's My Reason For Picking Up A Pen (Italian Sonnet)
What's my reason for picking up a pen
If all has been written throughout all time
There are only so many words that rhyme
Repeating the same themes over again
Much has been written of the life of men
Many of them ring out with the same chime
For they speak of mountains and mankind's climb
And the struggles to overcome our sin
The universe is a marvelous place
Filled with galaxies and more galaxies
There's many wonders in what we call space
I wonder if man will possess their keys
Will aliens accept the human race
Or will they see us as chaff in the breeze

Mi Vida Loca
(pam tillis/jess leary)
If you're coming with me you need nerves of steel
'cause i take corners on two wheels
It's a never-ending circus ride
The faint of heart need not apply
Mi vida loca over and over
Destiny turns on a dime
I go where the wind blows
You can't tame a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
Sweetheart before this night is through
I could fall in love with you
Come dancing on the edge with me
Let my passion set you free
Mi vida loca over and over
Destiny turns on a dime
I go where the wind blows
You can't tame a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
Here in the firelight i see your tattoo
Mi vida loco, so you're crazy too
Mi vida loca over and over
Destiny turns on a dime
I go where the wind blows
You can't tame a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
We'll go where the wind blows
And i'll be a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
