"THE ANXIETY OF AMBIGUITY"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The anxiety of ambiguity
Became known to me
The other day
As a girl's heart took a hold of me
And made me sway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was sitting here
Thinking of you
When you walked
Right into my view

Thinking my mind
Had worked some magic
I was amazed
To see you

But then I realized
That before your figure met my eyes
I was doing
What I always do

I'm always thinking of you
So it is inevitable
That you would
Walk right into my view
When I'm thinking of you

So when you wake me
From my reverie
When I see the real face
I've been imagining
It is not magic
It's inevitable

But I still hope
There's some magic
In the way you feel

I'm always thinking of you
So it is inevitable
That you would
Walk right into my view
When I'm thinking of you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ghostly tower
Speaking of night's power,
Singing in a hazy voice,
Through the fog,
That I have not yet made a choice.

Light is beaming
Through the mystical mist,
Looking for a heart to clasp,
And it finds me
In the thick fog's grasp.

I am all alone,
Surrounded by
Night's many ghosts,
Faces I have seen
Only in my dreams,
Except for you,
You are there.
The mystical mist
Is hanging in your flowing hair.

A tree stands silent,
Subject to the violent
Light behind pine needles,
Blasting rays of photons
Through its branches.
As I walk beneath its arms,
The mystical mist
Hangs on each green spine
Of a smitten pine.

But the mystical mist has found
Another victim
And cast a spell on me.

I sit,
Dazzled by dew,
Beneath a tree.

"THE ONLY TIME I WANTED TO BE ALONE"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While I am
Sitting here, in the cafeteria,
With donuts,
A pen,
And a poem,
You (my impossible catch)
Sit down with me
The only time
I wanted to be
Alone.

"CHOCOLATES FOR FANTASIA"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A dream come true,
You came and sat down beside me
In Psychology class.

Hope springs eternal,
And being mid-February,
I was thirsty for you.

Walking back to the Student Union
After class,
I handed you a large red, heart-shaped
Box of chocolates,
My heart all-a-flutter, pounding out the words,
"HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!"

Then you answered,
"I hate Valentine's Day.
It's just a reminder to singles of their loneliness."

An odd response that made me chuckle and cry inside.

Well, Fantasia,
Your words pounded down on my hopes.

You took the chocolates,
But not my heart.

Loneliness needs no reminders of its own sad existence.

There I was again,
Right next to my dream,
Near me, yet so far out of reach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When words are spoken,
What do they mean?
When I hear the words you say,
Ambiguity is what I glean.

I long for the day
When I will know
How you feel
And this masquerade of pleasantries
Will be replaced by reality,
By how brightly the stars shine
When the clouds have moved aside.

When words are spoken,
What do they mean?
When I hear the words you say,
Ambiguity is what I glean.

Am I trying too hard
To take our masks away?
Oh, I long for the day
When I will know
How I feel
And this masquerade of pleasantries
Will be replaced by reality,
By how brightly the stars shine
When the clouds have moved aside.

When your words are spoken,
What do you mean?
From joyful hellos to suspicious good-byes,
Ambiguity is what I glean.

Oh, how I fear the day
When I will know
How you feel

And this masquerade of polite conversations
Will be replaced
By reality,
By the vacant, starless sky revealed
When the clouds have moved aside.

"NOTHING COMES" by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You wait and wait,
And nothing comes.

As you walk alone,
You see her in the distance,
And you turn in another direction
Because you mean nothing to her.

She is everything to you,
Though you've surrendered to
The nothing in her heart.
If you could make a start
With her,
Would you have everything or nothing
In common?

You wait and wait,
And nothing comes.
At this moment, though,
It means everything.

"OUT OF MY REACH" by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Out of my reach
You walk away
Out of my reach
Another day
Out of my reach
I love you so
Out of my reach
You do not know
Out of my reach
A friend's with you
Out of my reach
You talk to her
Out of my reach
As you walk away
Out of my reach
I'm behind the glass
Out of my reach
Watching dreams pass
Out of my reach
I want to hold
Out of my reach
You in my arms
Out of my reach
Your friend says bye
Out of my reach
I start to cry
Out of my reach
You walk alone
Out of my reach
Toward your home
Out of my reach
I try to find
Out of my reach
A home of mine
Out of my reach
But in your heart
Out of my reach
Is where I'd start
Out of my reach
To build my home
Out of my reach
I stand alone
Out of my reach
You pass from sight
Out of my reach
Into the night

Out of my reach...

"YOUR GRADUATION: MY LOVE FOR YOU REVEALED"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I couldn't say good-bye
Because I've never said hello,
Nothing more than in passing by
And a vague
"Let's get together sometime."

I couldn't say good-bye
Because I never said hello
Until yesterday when I told you all
And you didn't return my call.
