Her eyes, redolent of a river’s tremor,
Startled me from sleep.

I said I love you
so it must be true
I accept you
but your alway changing me
You claim to love me
And want to share me
But I refuse to share you
Only of you knew how your moods
Ruin my day everything you say
I'd rather get away than stay mad
I'd fix and help anyway I can
I can't change you imperfections or flaws
I accept you no need to change
I wish you'd accept me
Let me be the one who you once loved
Not some emotionless being you feel
Is not worthy of you and your love

Stop showing
You love me
A little at a time.

Stop saying
You care
Bit by bit.

Stop keeping
Me here
For tiny pieces of time.

Because I need
All of you
Not piece by piece.

I love
All of you
Not just some parts of you.

So love all of me
All the way
All the time.

Or let all of me go
All at once
For good.

Where lies once met truth
A shallow secret lurks now,
Although I still ask the question.
The question is simple,
A riddle itself,
Though like this poem,
It's something you must seek yourself.
I looked past love,
Into regret,
Beside the pain,
And through the memories.
I found no answer,
Not one so clear,
But now I know
Why it wasn't near.
My question remains unanswered,
But I don't mind,
My riddle now
Is for you to find.
Seek this truth,
Past love and lies,
And I'll tell you a secret
Of the deepest kinds.

you are a rose
with plenty of thorns
stab deep into my palm
when i hold you tight.
this is sweet bleeding
a communion
of pain and pleasure,
the red of this sacred fluid
as dark
as your velvet petals.
look at me
and feel my grip
i won't let go
you are now deep in my flesh
and should you slip
leave me your thorns
and save someone else's bleeding
to me.
