The World Through My Eyes

a memory

Jeff Turner (@respres) — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:37:49 +0000

found myself
lost today
miles away
held at bay
by fantasy
you and me
warm embrace
face-to-face
time misplaced
bliss to bliss
endless kiss
a bed abyss
reaching, touching
speaking nothing
seeking, finding
bodies binding
minds unwinding
wanting, needing
hunting, feeding
sound of breathing
fantasy
pure ecstasy
not a dream
a memory

anticipation

Jeff Turner (@respres) — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 16:56:01 +0000

i’m not a fan
of the separation
the deprivation
the desperation
or the struggle for
quality communication
but i must say
without equivocation
i like the flirtation
the odd fixation
and most of all
i like the anticipation

waiting

all is right

Jeff Turner (@respres) — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 06:56:08 +0000

covers are filled
with tired children
pillows hold heads
with dreams in flight
beds are carrying
their precious cargo
gently through
a peaceful night
set adrift
on sleep’s vast ocean
all are well
and all is right

waiting to be inspired

Jeff Turner (@respres) — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 05:04:07 +0000

the sunsets find me
yearning for their arrival
waiting to be inspired
longing to slip into dusk
into the comfort of night
to prepare for the sunrise
and another day of waiting
to be inspired again

I’m On A Train

Jeff Turner (@respres) — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 16:06:42 +0000

I’m riding on a train.
I’m writing on a train.
I’m doing my best to try to do
some rhyming on a train.
I’m riding on a train.
I’m writhing on a train.
I’m doing my best to try to keep
from whining on a train.

i could live with three

Jeff Turner (@respres) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:46:53 +0000

if i could limit my life
to words with two letters
would my days and nights
be worse or be better
up and in
would carry the day
down and out
would just go away
on would rule
it’d would never get tired
and off would leave
it would simply be fired
there’d only be go
there would be no stop
there would be no bottom
there would be no top
that’s all well and good,
but i still don’t think so
’cause there’d be no yes
and there’d only be no
and there’d be no you
i would only have me
so two would not do
but i could live with three

no mercy

Jeff Turner (@respres) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 05:11:57 +0000

you can loot
the spirit of love
there’s plenty to go around

you can rifle
the truth with your lies
and truth will always prevail

you can heist
our dollars in greed
we’ll find other ways to give

and you can take
our rose-colored glasses
we see better without them

but you can’t steal
the innocence of a child
and expect us to act with mercy

lost

Jeff Turner (@respres) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 07:59:44 +0000

just when i think i can see
when i think i’ve caught a glimpse
of a familiar landmark
a clue to where i should turn next
it’s disappears
it simply vanishes
into the shadows of doubt
that surround me in your absence

i look around for a friendly face
someone i could trust to guide me
but everyone feels like a stranger
even the image in the mirror
stares back at me, like a child
and the children riding with me
are simply counting the days
till you return

i’m lost without you
