spring seeps in
with great grey rains
and a shifting sun
that could try harder.

small things whisper
and rush to hide
beneath rotting wood
and ancient bricks,
squirming there
in soil that keeps
and breathes life
in April.

green shoots glance
tentatively through
hazy morning light,
pushing through
earthworms and detritus
to gift me one
small wink
as I brush the earth
from my human hands.

it is a great exchange
from the vast frozen sheets
of glittering death
and pale winter sun
into the world of the living.
it is an awakening
of sleeping seeds
and tendrils

and it is more like
a rebirth,
as my limbs stretch
and bloom with the trees
and a quiet smile once again
comes to rest
on this gratuitous
winter face.
Forever is when,
I want to have the touch of your palm on mine.
Forever is when,
I want to have your fingers interlocked with mine.

Forever is when,
i want to place my head on your chest, and listen to your beats.
Forever is when,
I want to hold onto you and feel you breathe.

Forever is when,
i want to look at you and praise my blessings.
Forever is when,
i want to kiss your cheeks and hide my blushings.

Forever is when,
I want to kiss your lips when you get that smile,
Forever is when,
I want to have a moment with you,  and only you, to make it worthwhile.

Forever is when,
I want your love.
Forever is when,
I want you to be mine.
Lets go with this Forever ,and never come back. I want to feel your love for every split second i breathe.
embrace your scars,
wear them proudly like bracelets on your wrist,
kiss them like a lover,
they are just like you;
they want to be wanted, to be seen
by you.

let them know you are not ashamed of them
let them speaks your worst nights and thoughts,
your scarred past,
your helplessness,
for you.
pack this memory
along with old socks,
set dust on our story
and on all of our trust.

let time flow
like dental floss,
so we won't know
how to weep our loss.

let the day turn
into dry moss,
remove our hopes
like you do dross.

this was not a story
of charm or of grace,
but more of a wonder
into a lost place.

still, this doesn't end,
as one may believe,
it will only linger
as long as we breathe,

for our truthful story
grows full of despair
like wrinkles on foreheads
and strands of white hair.

it is not a burden,
but a curse, or just fate,
we did not choose this
haunting wraith...

have faith in me, love
as night can trust day
on a sun lacking sky,
on a sword lacking fray.
That point of a relationship where the two partners have known each other for so long, that they don't know how to live without each other, where the hurt they both caused and felt becomes their drug, their air. It is growing together in a perfect, but sad symbiosis. They are both drugs and drug addicts. It is that point where quarrels or fights are pointless, where despair can only take the place happiness, as they both know they tried to change each other, but there is no point in trying. These are not only infected wounds, but gangrenous ones. This is living together with the opposite of a soulmate, only of fearing the unknown situation of a life without each other. This is a story of many.
