Every breath is desperation
for your sensuous, silken skin.
There's no room for separation
in this cozy, satin twin.

The glint of your pearly whites.
Your desire to be admired.
I am blessed with you.
Obsessed with you.
Never growing tired.

Your lips are matched by nothing else.
Warmth greater than a cabin's hearth.
I could forsake a thousand's wealth
and still not match their worth.

You are Beauty.
You are Divine.
You are much like those gentle morning winds
rustling through the chimes.

*"You are mine, my own,
my precious..." *Sublime
for now and for always.
Forever. Through time.

Remember the day when we
Spent all our time to be
Wholly lost in the breeze?

The warmth like a heater
The grass smelled sweeter
Weaving our way through the trees

We ducked and dived
Never felt so alive
Until roots formed 'round our feet

The world got meeker  
The hills got steeper
****** in a ditch of deceit

I breath to breath you
Do I need to need to?
I should take my chances and run

I'll lose my mind
Trying one more time
To fight a battle that cannot be won

when asked
she can place the depth of an ocean
within the brim of a glass
she can see death as creation
and feel thoughts as sensations
she may perceive nations
as stations
leading to further  exploitation
or as the salvation of civilization
though
to be civilized to her
is in its self obscure
for she sees all roads
with no wrong turns
sees the most heinous of crimes
as specks awash
in the sands of time
man
but a small spinning top
knowing that
one day the spinning stops
the wise woman is cursed
to be bathed in such wealth
for she sees no value
in sickness or health
for she knows
when she should cease to exist
the spinning top
will continue to twist

There lays a man in intensive care
Without a care in the world

He said:

He sits aside
As the world grows old
For he has accomplished everything he's wished
And rests assured in a state of bliss

Achieving this if oft missed by the masses
Who peer through panes with clouded glasses
So protect a future of achieved potential
Only live and love with your time
Someday you may be lucky to share
This sublime perspective of mine


He smiled gently and quitely sighs
As we both left the room with tears in our eyes

When love is lost
But doesn’t go away
Wandering thoughts
Sting every day
When all that remains
Are hallow holes
Stubborn stains
I promise that
I will embrace the pain
As your memory
Has seduced my heart
Preserving it
For a day when we
May hold hands
And walk through the trees
Once more

I am left yearning.
Making the right choice has left a hole burning through my chest. I was only trying to do my best… but I had forgotten that you are my best.

Keep my heart—it is making me sink
Keep my heart—it is making me think

about what I could have been thinking – giving up the only thing I yearn to keep? Alas... life is a pill hard to swallow without you handing me the glass — but there is no turning back.

children in the sand
                       heads lost in
                                      the blue expanse
                                     two paper boats down
        by their side

                                         there came the tide -- in
                   each other they confided
  the ocean had decided
                              let the current take you home

An excerpt from a song I wrote last year. Isolating this verse, I thought it had good feels. I hope you enjoy (:
