Edgar John Jackson Poems

I never had the right words to say to you
I never had the voice to say: I love you
And my heart trembles when you are before my eyes
I never wanted to let you go before you realize
...

You’ve been my last broken dream
You’ve been my perilous stream
You’ve been my voice through my own silence
You’ve been near through a long distance.
...

I have to dry these tears I have not cried
When I believed you were by my side
There was nothing to me that I could hide
But this feeling you have ever denied.
...

Say: I live on your mind
I’m what you expect to find
I’m the one you need by your side
This love; you’ll never hide.
...

Time had always passed me by
Now I escape from words
And my soul flies as birds
I’ve survived and now I am so alive
...

Thank you for breaking me
Thank you for slowing me
Thanks, but I ain’t a toy
Thanks, but I am a simple boy
...

Your distance when you’re near
Hurts more than saying good-bye
If God really makes it clear
He has to make me understand why
...

Maybe I don’t know but I’m thinking that I can be blind
I should’ve been the happiest man by loving you
But I have no control in mind.
Because though I feel unhappy I want to be with you.
...

God
I am here
I ‘m waiting for your answer…
God
...

I can not lie
I am not thinking of you
I long to feel you
Because you begin to be
...
