Why is it
That we must
Fall
In love,
Like we fall into a trap?
Everything that falls
Gets broken.
*Love is
Fated to end in broken pieces
From the very beginning.

Some say
Love is a temptress;
Luring prey into its trap,
Set so innocently
So that victims
Walk blindly into it.

Some say
Love is a trickster,
Cunning and deceitful;
That it intoxicates the soul
And hides the truth.

Some say that it
Kidnaps them,
Brainwashes them,
And leaves nothing but pain
And suffering.

I say
Love is the chance
That no one takes,
The dream
That all fear,
The ambition
That no one feels worthy of.

I say
Love is the soul;
So afraid of death
That it never learns to
Live.

That feeling in the pit of my stomach,
It has never been this real,
I think it's known by the name,
*Guilt.

Like most days
I spent my time pondering
Life
Today.
And I thought...
In the end,
When all is
Said and done,
Will I have
Said
More than I have
*Done?

I wonder
How you managed
To slip so easily
Into my heart.
In a matter of days, minutes, seconds,
Who knows?
My head tells me,
"Are you blind?"
My heart tells me,
*"I've never seen the world more clearly."

i'm too

shy

to tell you

how i feel



so i'll

hide

behind timid smiles

and soft hellos



i'm afraid

that if i ask you

"what do you think of me?"

your reply will be



*"i don't."

She loved storms
Power whirling around her
The sheer force of nature's rage
Every atom in the air charged with tension
Wild
Untamed
Full of reckless, unpredictable life
Thunder that made it sound as if the heavens were to splinter apart above her
Lightning that cracks the charred and blackened sky
Sunlight struggling to get through
But there will be no sunlight in this storm
Rain lashes down
Torrential
Unforgiving
The brutal power raging all around her
As if it were a living being
Uncontrollable
Fierce
She loved the power it gave her.
Out there in the fury of nature
Daring the world to go ahead;
Do your worst;
Bring it on.
No thing had a shadow
For we are all in one great shadow,
Are we not?

She loved storms because they reminded her that sometimes

*Even the sky breaks
