I write to you not knowing who you are. I think about you everyday. I am in my evening humanities lecture hall listening to JoaquĆ­n Rodrigo's Second Movement of Concierto Aranjuez and I can feel my soul unraveling. I don't believe it is a calling for me to be a poet, but I can feel its presence instilled in the very core of my being. Poetry pulling at the chords of my lungs, accelerating my heart beat, causing me to breathe unsteadily. I believe in you. Eleven minutes and fourteen seconds is more than I could ask for, yet it will never be enough. I will never stop wanting, desiring. You're out there somewhere. My words are yours.

Let me show you my weakness
When I tried to be strong
I was a lover all along
I was right when I was wrong

And all the passion
I became Vesuvius
A cauldron of boiling energy
An eruption to destroy Pompeii
And **** the innocence

And what would ever make me weaker
Than being shown the god I believe in
Is only a false idol
A deception
Leading me to the darkest parts of night

What will make me strong again?
Only love

And in Pompeii
They are still frozen in time
The moment a beautiful landmark
Became a killer
And the look of terror can still be seen in their eyes

And really all I can say
Is that I'm sorry

I tried to be something
But I wasn't strong enough

Even though it has been ages
since we've talked
I know I got to you
I seeped under your skin
And I still reside there
Quietly waiting...
For you to feel that itch again
If you would just scratch
You could still feel me
Wow such a surprise~ Thanks HP for the daily selection honor and Thank you fellow poets for all the nice comments. I truly appreciate them all!!

of its course...
wise to the ways

Your soft lips
Caress me
As I fall deep
Inside your spell
I see red
Roses and cheeks
All over me
Resting on my body
As I lay in this
Pool of blood
Deep love.
