Music Girl

Let the music rescue you;
Flight for life when you're feeling blue.
On the dark side of the rainbow,
Black's the only hue.

Take a supernatural starship
To the heavens up above.
Through a lipstick sunset
With the person that you love.

Your music is what carries you
To another place in time;
No one seems to understand,
It's the lyrics not the rhyme.

Share with me your loneliness,
I'll help you if I can.
If only I were there with you.
I'd be your Music Man.

– Tom Wilcox 09/29/96

Phantoms of YouI embrace myself
with phantoms of your naked flesh
warmth upon cold nights.

Morning WalkEveryday I go for a walk.
Ninety minutes,
eleven kilometers.

On my own.

I walk in a magical place,
the birds, the wind
the trees swaying,
the sun rising.
nature all around,
its energy.

The circuit takes me
into a circular trip into myself.
Lap after lap
I go deeper into my soul,
my mind,
my thoughts...

Ninety minutes of reflection,
ninety minutes of creation,
ninety minutes of questions and answers,
of deep thinking about life and relations.

It is when I find myself,
I talk to myself,
I listen to myself,

It is absolutely necessary
for my mental health.
Ninety minutes
everyday.

By myself.

I love my morning walks.

GoodnightWhy is it always so difficult
to say goodbye to you?
Why is it always so hard
to let you go at night?

Stay with me,
stay a little longer.
Let this moment linger...

Kiss me.
Kiss me with the longest of your kisses.
Let it linger on my lips.

When will be the day
that we won't have to part?

Do you have to go now?

Goodnight, my love...

TauntPossess me, take me ore
Shake me to very soul
Torture me with touches of chill grace
Let your lips whisper with a cool breeze
Over my face, then, my neck's nape
Move icy fingers ore the shoulders of my gown
Then with gentle shadow move me down
Down onto the frozen hard concrete pad
That is the quilt of the bed you now have
Take me, reveal all of me to the moon's rays
Then the ghost that still holds my heart
Take me into thee and away
Haunt me, taunt me, and join with me as one
Then again till next eve, with the dawning sun
I shall walk as I walk now
Haunted forever by your lost love till once you come again

Lost in Your WordsYour words
have the power
to melt me.

Dissolving
into you slowly
with your every
breath.

Your lips
devour every
spare inch
of my flesh.

In your presence
warmth radiates
a supernova
inside of me.

All it takes
is a single word
sweet upon your lips
to abandon me
to ecstasy.

Please... I Love YouI sit here,
Alone as i write,
Goign over things in my mind,
Where I lost the fight.

I had you,
You were mine,
The one thing i held,
To make everything fine.

I let you go,
My biggest mistake,
But my minds full of you,
Every memory a snowflake.

I still remember your smile,
You had braces, they were cute,
I'd do anything to see that again,
Since I lost you my life has been mute.

I remember your eyes,
They were a real find,
They always held that look,
Love, peace, always kind.

I remember your touch,
Always gentle, but firm,
Caressing my body, my heart, my soul,
The darkness fled like the midday worm.

Most memorable thing,

I Trust YouI trust you.
I don't know why,
maybe it's because
you've never lied,
which causes me to
get by
with just your word
and you standing by my side.
Don't make me regret this.
You only get one chance
to prove yourself
and I need you
in my life.<3

HeartacheShe knows perfectly well
what she wants.

What she wants
she can't get.

That is why
her heart aches.

So sweet to dream,
so hard to reach.

Heartache...

She knows perfectly well
where she stands.

She stands far away
from what she wants to get.
The one she loves
can't be with her.

That is why
her heart aches.

Heartache...

Siilent ScreamCan you hear this heart that cries?
Do you see the tears flow in my soul?
Shouting in a silent scream
I am nothing without you,
I am not whole.

If you hear the heart that cries
I you feel the dampness of the tears
If you hear my silent scream
Then come I pray upon the wind shears

Rip into me and rebuild this empty one
Soothe this heart and make it beat for you
I need thee my warrior once more
To be again the angel of love that once shone

I need the shelter of your wings
I desire the sweetness of your lips
I long for the touches that will mend in caress this soul
I want to once again mount to the ecstasies we once held
Arms i

but.only.togetherYou  appeared  on  your  own,
when  I  was  walking  the  wire,
And  circled  below,
And  saved  me  from  the  fire.
You  shoo'd  the  flames
And  pretended  you  weren't  burned.
Well,  I  know  it's  about  time
Your  sanctuary  was  returned.
So  please  come  on  out,

My Brother was a SuperheroMy brother was a superhero for most of our growing up years. As a young boy, he had his ever-present tea towel cape firmly safety pinned under his chin so as to be prepared at all times for heroic acts of strength and courage. He leapt from the boundless heights of his bed without fear of injury, peddled his trusty super tricycle madly down the sidewalk, cape flying in the breeze, feet faster than lightning. He eventually decided that a cape was not enough, and used his pajamas under his tighty whiteys as his costume, sometimes with a masking tape "S" on its front. As he grew, he experimented with even more ingenious additions to his superher

Never LeaveI would have stayed with you all night,
in your bed, close to you,
hugging you, in your arms,
whispering goodnight in your ear,
the goodnight kiss on your lips,
looking into your eyes before falling asleep,
feeling you next to me,
touching you for real,
showing you that my body is real too
and that it is all yours,
knowing for sure that your body is mine.

I would have stayed with you all night
but I had to go.

I will come back tomorrow, my love,
and we will spend the night together as one.
We will make love before we fall asleep.
And
I will never again leave...

Let GoThe body, it screams, shakes violently, falls,
Clenching inside, tears of anger, they roll,
The blood red devil, itself, he calls,
'Let go'.

Uncontrollable limbs, splinter sharp as they break,
The heart, tearing lungs, it rips and it aches,
Taming the monster inside with a stake,
Let go.

Ear piercing echoes follow around,
Crushing the bones as they slam on the ground,
The girl, so innocent, her crimson surrounds,
Let go.

Tongues whisper silent curses unknown,
The head, it pounds with each word being moaned,
Dark red tears fall down below,
I've let go.

just for meYour mouth is like a candy heart
Your eyes are dizzy with the stars
You end your rage before you start
I think you're just for me

I hear your laughter everywhere
You're blowing bubbles in the air
When people smirk, you couldn't care
I think you're just for me

Your hair is crazy as your smile
You shock the world with your style
You're kissing me, and all the while...
I know you're just for me :)

You're My Music Girl

You’re My Music Girl

You’re my music girl,
With the lyrics of life;
Teaching me tunes
About sorrow and strife.

Play me some songs
Under the stars;
You show me Venus
And I’ll show you Mars.

You’re the music girl
With the music of life,
That cuts through the air
Like the blade of a knife.

Petty and Dylan,
And all of the rest,
Sing you the songs
When you’re feeling depressed.

Play me some music girl,
Under the moon;
Sing me the lyrics,
Teach me the tune.

Higher than high,
Lower than low;
I feel your music
Wherever I go.

When you need a friend
In the middle of the night,
I’ll play you the song
That’ll make you alright.

– 1996 Tom Wilcox

Sweet poem... I loved it.
[Oh fuuuuuu..... O.o it is as old as I?! wow...]

`TomWilcox Jun 27, 2011

Thanks.

~Ankoger Feb 26, 2011

A very nice and significant poem.

`TomWilcox Feb 27, 2011

Thanks.

I love writing - need to do more. I want to write song lyrics and have a screen play that I want to get going on.

Appreciate the kind words.
Tom

~Ankoger Feb 28, 2011

Well, could also be a nice combination with your pictures in a book.

`TomWilcox Feb 28, 2011

Yes, a friend also suggested that I do that. Thanks.

Tom

~Ankoger Mar 4, 2011

Let me know, when it´s done

*RainySkyz Jul 19, 2010

Nice. Why don't you find a song that reflects the mood or theme of this poem, put the lyrics in your description, along with name of song and name of artist, and if you can find a vid link to it, that would be great. Then join

and submit it, or link me to it and I can submit it for you *points to sig below* (I'm an admin-contributor.) We'd prefer you join though. Including your gorgeous fractals and art, if you could find music to go with them, would be a wonderful addition to our galleries. Just a thought.

`TomWilcox Jul 31, 2010

I'll check it out. Thanks!

Tom

YAY! Have fun!
