Somewhere far from here
Most likely on a planet in a far off galaxy,
There lived an unusual species of person,
Known to us now as "Zachary"

He wasn't the oldest, maybe not the smartest, and would not take
credit for being the best.
But, in my opinion, he had a certain quality that distinguished him
above the rest.

The first time I saw him, I was at Merle Hay Mall.
I got there at 6:25 so I could meet him, messy hair and all.
I remember he wore a black vest thing, and a blue shirt.
But he would have looked good in anything, even a plaid pleated skirt.

I remember "Hi, I'm Zac," was what he first said
I was thinking "No duh!" in my head.
It was not that I didn't like him, I just didn't have a fave,
But after that meeting and performance, it was for him I screamed and waved.

Reassuringly down to earth he is and was,
And though it mayn't of before
His face now gives me a BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZ,
Though I don't from why or what because.

I've always found strength in the weird type,
So maybe that was my reason why,
"Zac" has always been his own type,
So I wrote this poem for him just to say HI!

I think of you and smile
Then I think of us and cry
You seem so close
yet your so far away
But still I'll be here when you come
Still I'll be waiting, bright as the sun

I can reach out and touch your picture
you have the sweetest face
I can turn on the radio
And hear you soulful voice
That sings of hart and pain

But I can't reach out
And hold your hand
I can't call you on the phone
We can't stand here
And talk face to face

I can only be alone

But still I'll still be waiting
I'll still be wanting you to come
I'll still be waiting, bright as the sun.

You make me smile
With your beautiful blond hair
For you I would go a million miles
I wish I could be there.

You may be a little wacky
But on the inside your really shy
People know I love you
Yet they never wonder why.

Zachary, I love you with my heart and soul
These words I say are true
When I think about you, I am whole
Words cannot describe how I feel, but all I know is that I love you!

When I heard the news,
I broke down in tears,
they had all come true,
my biggest fears,
my feelings of scare,
make me feel like no one cares,
if these blue eyes,
fill with tears,
or if these shoulders,
shake with fear,
I really feel,
like there's no where to run,
everywhere I turn there's someone,
they'll try to talk,
but I just wanna walk,
I would only talk,
to the one who cares,
but the on who cares,
is no longer there

Little one, why do you cry?
Why do silent tears
Fall from your crystal blue eyes?

Little one, why can't you smile?
Why do you escape from everything
By running a mile?

Little one, why wont you look me in the face?
What has he done to you
To make you feel disgraced?

Little one, why are you always so sad?
Do you believe it was you
That did something bad?

Little one, why are your feelings bottled up inside?
Can you look me in the face
Or are you ashamed you cried?

Little one, why do you give yourself the blame?
Don't you know it wasnt your fault
That you know feel ashamed?

Little one, why don't you set yourself free?
Or am I the mistaken
And is the 'little one' me?

I heard your voice
coming through the darkness.
I heard your voice.
It gave me light.

I heard your voice.
I knew it right then,
I had no choice.
I had to find you.

Your voice has me yearning,
I long for you now.
I feel my skin burning,
I’m longing for your touch.

Your voice stays in my mind.
I feel I know you.
Only to you must I bind.
But tell me, who are you?

I’m in love with a voice.
Don’t laugh, it’s true.
But I don’t have a choice.
I know I’m for you.

Hanson is hot
how could you say their not
when Zac sings he hits the spot
thats because I love him a lot

Tay has his ways with the girls
because in their heads thoughts of him whirl
his hair is so beautiful with its little curl
when girls speak of him the words are in plural

Ike is talented in his ways
all day long he plays plays
Hanson is cool says

Why do you have to be so far away?
Won't you please come and stay?
Would it be impossible for us to meet and touch?
For this I've waited so much.
You look so divine; when can I say you will be mine?
You fill me with awe and splendor.
Would you grant my wish? I wonder.
If only this wasn't a fantasy; if only you and I were meant to be.
Tay darling, when will you hear my call and break this closed wall?
Even if isn't possible, I visualize that you will look my way.
That would be my dying day.....

Words cannot say
And songs cannot sing
A night turns to day
Bells lose their ring
Pens cannot write
And winds cannot blow
Heroes lose their might
Runners walk slow
Hearts cannot beat
And eyes cannot look
Winners admit defeat
Readers close books
Feelings cannot express
And hands cannot touch
This little heart of mine
That loves you so much

Back to the Top

I met you in a song
I heard you in a sound
A harmony and melody a depth of colour found
Your face so open and alive
Your smile so fragile and naive
You opened up the arms of love and asked me to believe
Your music like a painting is hung inside my heart
I feel the texture of your words
The brush strokes of your art
Your hands speak of your passions
You touch the keys and moods appear
You plant a reservior of tears which flow like paintupon the air
And there is no shade or sound or tone or pitch or shape thats not laid bare
I'll frame the moment if I can
I'll catch the spirit of your care
I'll hear the picture you have made
I float on solid air.

For Taylor Hanson.
