Your warm hands intertwine with mine,
So big like a knight's shield,
wrapped around my tiny fingers,
like a wool blanket.

Our feet pitter patter against the rocky pavement,
squishing the smooth pebbles under our rubber soles,
awakened by the sounds of the whistling trees,
swaying back and forth.

Your eyes linger every few seconds to mine,
smiling every time we made contact,
grasping my hands even tighter,
afraid I would float away to the moonlit sky.

The big grassy hill lies in front of us,
beckoning us to come,
and like children we run upwards into the welcoming arms of nature,
until we stand on top of the world.

I let myself climb atop your dusty shoes,
caressing your smooth clean-shaven face,
breathing in that oh so familiar scent,
fresh rain with a hint of mahogany.

You grab my waist and twirl me,
and together we succumb to gravity,
gently falling onto earth's bed,
as we lay there side by side under the starry night.

Hot curling iron creating perfect tresses,
my hair is thinning fast, I can see my scalp.
Lush ruby lips as I pout and take a picture,
blood runs from them as my fingers claw trying to give them life.
Flawless porcelain skin like a chinadoll,
Years and years of scars are covered up.
Thick black lashes smeared with dark kohl,
Crystal teardrops create inky streams down my cheeks.
They flow and flow until my eyes ache and cannot produce anymore.
Mouth once filled with sugar now only tastes salt.
Exhausted.

The first light of day sprung,
as the sleepy town awoke from it's dreams.

The cool spring breeze sweeps across the land,
making colorful dresses and shirts billow gently.

Wispy cotton-like clouds douse the sky,
only letting the robin egg blue peek through.

Silver bells hung on the wooden doors chime in unison,
creating melodic music as the baby grass sway back and forth.

The sugary sweet smell of warm buns linger in the air,
just pulled out of the oven from loving hands.

Children's laughter echoes all around,
their colorful chalk covered hands imprinting the pavements.

And as soon as the yellow light began it ended,
wrapped in a dark cloak.

Tiny shimmers sprinkle the sky,
illuminated by a frothy round.

Slowly, the sound dies,
and one by one the lights go out.

My hands tingle,
looking at your ***** brown mop of hair,
fresh from the shower and as fluffy as can be,
wanting to brush my fingers through the softness.

We lie on separate beds,
watching the white puffs of smoke,
like miniature clouds,
making the dark sky pure.

I watch your enchanted face,
eyes hovering over every detail your emotions sculpt,
watching how the city skyline illuminates your eyes,
pure love sits in them.

I want to let them rain,
Release my eyes from the pain,
Pretend we were never on the same bed once,
As we had kissed under the setting sun,
while the puffs of white rolled gently along.

You belonged in my arms,
Arms that don't feel your warmth any longer,
That are cold as they lay by my side.

Yesterday everything felt right,
No tension or awkwardness,
just you, me, and a stream of words feeding each other,
as if we were dying of hunger.

The words flew out your mouth,
barely reaching the tip of your tongue,
anxious to escape your lips,
to bet set free.

Your deep brown eyes held wonder,
as you questioned everything, questioned yourself.

I swam into the pools of your pupils,
as they ignited inside me a sense of awe.

How?
How can everything feel so right after being so wrong?
How can you spark the fire that just burned down?
How.

I didn't realize how much a heart could bleed,
Until the thought of you suddenly came back to me.
I lost all my peace.
Love, please let me be.

War and Peace intertwined,
Breaking all sins, crossing the line,
She a princess, he a warrior,
Hatred was the one that brought them together.

He opened her eyes to the world,
Made her realize not to judge a book by its cover,
He wasn't a dumb brute, she put it plainly,
Seduced by his love she falls for him freely.

Cousins are killed she knows his sorrow,
They weep together until tomorrow,
Alas they are separated for forever it seems,
Until his aching heart realized she was his dream.

Strength and skill got him through,
Yet his heel couldn't escape the arrow that flew.
You gave me a lifetime of war and peace he said,
Caressing her, almost dead.

Her sobs echoed across all of Troy,
Gently she placed her lips on his, saying goodbye.

She glimpsed at him once more before she turned away,
Her warmth stayed with him until great Troy turned to grey.
