The poison—
of your love—
Stains my mouth.

The sun doesn't choose
who to shine on.
It just Shines.

I cannot give
what I do not have.

The Dream Intruder

In shadows deep, where moonlight failed to gleam,
A figure knelt, his soul consumed by dream.
He grasped her hand, a grip both fierce and frail,
"Don't marry," his voice, a mournful wail.
His head bowed low, tears tracing down his face,
A desperate plea, in this unknown space.
"Stay with me," he cried, his voice a broken plea,
A love unspoken, just for her.
Confusion reigned, as shadows danced and swayed,
This phantom lover, in this moonless shade.
Who was this man? Why did his spirit plead?
A bond unseen, a love beyond all creed.
His pain, his fear, they pierced her very soul,
A connection forged, beyond all earthly control.
In that dark space, we shared a silent vow,
A love unknown, somehow, somehow...

A Dreamers' Dilemma

The cobblestones gleam, a dull, wet grey,
Reflecting skies where shadows sway.
The air is thick, a heavy, leaden sigh,
Where tired dreams beneath the pavement lie.

A weary soul, a weary, plodding pace,
Lost in the maze of time and space.
Reality bites, a bitter, cruel sting,
A mundane song, the world it sings.

But in the night, when shadows creep,
And weary minds begin to sleep,
A wondrous realm, where dreams take flight,
A symphony of colors, bathed in light.

No chains of duty, no mundane toil,
A boundless world, a fertile soil.
Where lovers soar on wings of grace,
And laughter rings in every space.

Though waking brings the bitter sting,
Of cold hard truths, the world they bring,
The dreamer knows, a solace deep,
Where dreams remain, while others sleep.
