darkness withers the heart
but for some that thrill is life itself
unseasonal to her tenderness but she is drawn to it
to her mind it was the tempest she sought
a desire too strong to deny
she derided him for his winter heart
magic he would say
liar she would cry
but she would never turn him away
never deny him his pleasures
dire and dark a man with his winter heart
bright eyed she opened herself to whatever he desired
passions flame burns quick
untill all she is and has is gone
She took to sleeping,
He took to drinking.

Why sleep? he thought,
Dreams only remind the waking eyes
that life is better shut.
Depression. He supposed.

Drinking!
Now there's a remedy. He believed.
Live life and attack the bad parts
with a vice. Shut out the wallow
and bathe in the horrors of strife.

He thought, drinking from the bottle
of malice and spite.

Lonely was anxious
Broken in her own dreams
Reaching out
Hoping for nothing more
Than companionship
Begging you to fall in
Grasped up your sinewed heart
Finding comfort in the walls of your chest
loneliness is a dark place. Finding a spot in each of us and living comfortably
.
Cuts through stone—
Travels light years knowing,
It is seed for ****** planets,
Water travels with light,
Riding on a frozen star,
Hailing down as a comet
To sprinkle new worlds,
Water breathes with fire,
Oxygen, hydrogen,
Explosive as love—
Amniotic to life, giving life
And salt and land reaching
Creatures who break to bring
The salt seas with them,
As they carry their blood,
First sea blue, then body red,
As they crawl from the waters,
That came from the heavens.
"911 what's your emergency?"

The shadows are killing my light and I can feel my soul fading away
you are the soothing hum
the grass stains on my jeans
the summer in my hair
the color in my cheeks
you are the the constant wave
beating against my heart
the warm honey on my lips
the paint on my nails
you are the perfect dance
and a moonlit ride
the sticky vanilla cream
you are the flower in my palm
the reason I smile
the chills down my spine
you are more than you'll ever know
you are the love of my life
