I linger for the touch of your soft skin
The naked beauty from within
The natural aroma of you
Sends me euphoric to sky's of blue
Heaven you are from where I stand
The hell beneath me I can't withstand
Waiting in day of angelic wings
Take me away from devilish things

There's a time to laugh,
and theres a time to cry,
but if we only ever cry,
then we'll soon surely die.

If we only ever laugh
we'll surely be seen as,
a mere sociopath,
who is too unattached,
to ever be sad.

I remember
not sure I will ever forget
all these years of...
trying to find words
but none can do you justice
looking up on that shower head
and the water pours down on me
I have my hands tied by a power cord
and you burnt my arm with your match
there is blood on my forehead
that made me spit in your face
you smash my head on the bath tub
this time I think you cracked it open
and the water is just as cold
as you are, my friend
or what is your name
and the water is almost boiled
and it starts all over again

By a kitten's innocence,
A boy was fascinated.
"She hasn't met the world,"
The boy said.

"Have you met the world?"
Asked his brother.
"I know of killers and thieves,"
Was the boy's answer.

Not of sights, adventures,
Of love, life and its secrets.
By the world's cruelty,
A boy was disenchanted.

cushions make a queer backstop
after five long years of stone
friends and family fray the nerves
after five long years alone

a backyard barbecue a battle
when the fight is finally won
still he fights to find the joy
in the laughter of his son

a bonafide war hero
not as brave as he might seem
when he can’t escape the feeling
that coming home was just a dream

I used to think
The only way to not be
Scared of monsters was to become one

So I *did

You loved me for me
You held me and cared
You wiped away my tears
Told me you would always be there
Two hearts were left bare
Then stomped into the ground
Leveled to dust
Because we both laid them down
We both broke us in two
But you will always have the half of my that will forever love you
