Words are fun,
like playing in the sun.
They run and burn out,
as if there was never a doubt.

She was like the sun
Warm
Healing
Life giving
But she also burned a few unfortunate souls

Let me feel you
Feeling me
As we touch
The feelings
Fill me
when you leave
It leaves me
empty

I was afraid of darkness once

of silly things, and deadly dance.

I was afraid of nightly tales

where lovers died and heroes failed.

I was afraid of phantom woes

and wails at night of dreadful ghosts,

I was afraid of witches’ spells

and demons in the burning hell.

Yet all these fears were proven small

compared to one I’d learned in fall

for the greatest fear that was soon to call

was having you and not at all.
