The whispers
                 behind his back
                                killed him.
I'm sorry I haven't been posting recently; there was a tornado touchdown in my area, a lot of damage has been done to my town, and I haven't had power for a couple of days.  I hope you are all well!
I know falling in love with you
is going to lead
to a broken heart one day...

but broken or not
my hearts going to love you
until its last thunderous beat

and even after its shell
has gone cold and dry
and it no longer moves

it will still be singing
your name
in wherever
and whatever
comes next
for all eternity
The petals are happiness and love,
Full of character and showing the flowers true beauty,
The pistil is stress,
Only avoided by the happiness and love  surrounding it,
The stem is confidence,
Giving the flower it's ambition and it's strength to keep standing tall,
The leaf is anger,
Easy to break and hard to control,
And at the bottom there are the roots,
The roots are all the feelings that the flower keeps hidden,
Jealousy, loneliness and others,
But unless the flower is dug up,
These feelings stay underground,
Where they remain untouched by the light,
In the dark forever. . .
the first time i saw her stretch marks i
saw beauty as a landscape formed,
lightning collapsed on her earth
captured by my lavender mind
i painted cosmic energy on
her body, oil on canvas ii
created a portrait my
fingertip a brush as
i drew a valley of
a thousand hills
on her fragile
temple.
walk with me
your hand in my palms
was more than a passionate stride
which oriented my path like a pendulum
i learned how to walk with my eyes closed
with your heart defining our itinerary in hindsight
found myself moon dancing to the tempo of your heartbeat
something was not right
she felt a very deep chasm
and ceased walking
i opened my eyes, saw a constellation in a crystal palace
Aisha we're lost
she closed her eyes, i held her close
like a mother to her baby

scared of what her soul breeds, gave her an ataraxy
i kissed her forehead and left a passion mark on her neck
as she opened her eyes to a valley of love
silent sigh
The Love Religion...
