Beyond the highest clouds,
Beneath the rockiest shores,
The energy ignited in the air,
Can you take more?
Behind the breathless black hole,
Lies something undiscovered
Like treasure wrapped up in darkness
Like wisdom hidden among coal.
The stars, they never fight
Burning softly through the night
A personification of honest beauty
Bridging their souls to your sight.
she hurt you
and i just keep thinking
how dare she throw away what she had?
she had you
something i never did
and she dare be jealous of me,
because of what we used to be?
she had your heart
and i never did.
she tried to beg for you back after she realized her mistake.
how dare she believe it's that easy?
she doesn't deserve your love.
she left you
something i never did.
she claims she loves you but if she loved you
she wouldn't have lied to you.
she never loved you.
something i always did.
she closed herself from you
even though your arms were wide open
and i can't help but think
how dare she let you slip slowly away
because she could have had all of you
but she lost you
and i wish i could have held you
because i would never let you go
i would never hurt you
i would always love you
i would always cherish you
and i would have you, all of you
something she will regret
because she never could love you
the way i always will.
Give her more and more space
To be her own woman.

Give her room to grow.
Give her room.  

Independence is as solid a
Foundation to build a life upon

As any. Just make sure she sees
Your intention as is.

Dependence will drive her to think
You stopped caring.

Dependence will fool her into
Seeing it as birth. Of an ending.  

Dependence is no walls; no roof,
No floor.

Give her room to grow.
Give her *room.
you
      walk
            naked
                  and dripping,
from
      the shower
                      
and stand,
             as i covet
                         your
                              absolute

beauty and magnificence.

ardent desire,
               raises goosebumps
on
   my skin,
             as lust
                    lights the fires.

your
     eyes,
         rake over me
                      and i am left
quivering....

we come
         together, with    
              mouths full of greed,
lips of desire,
             skin so tender....

that the touch
              of fingertips,
                   scorches and sears.

but burn, we must
             and burn, we will.

as we ravenously, take our fill

gorging,
           feasting,
                      devouring,
                      ­              desire.

this is our .....
      love's funeral pyre.
                      from which
the phoenix,
        each day arises...
             ...more incandescant.
to await...
          with longing
               fervent and asmolder
          
the next match's
                   striking to love's
                           lusterous fire.
three word exercise:
covet, greed, lust.

How cruel this world can be
as to when someone starts
to mean so much to you
you begin to mean
so little to them
Beneath the Willow Tree
Below the canopy of leaves
She sits in silence
The embodiment of Nature
In all her perfection

Blades of grass dance
Free from worry
Within the shadow of her protection

Branches of new beginnings
Beckoned skyward with the crook of her finger
Like so many bodies
Searching for the touch of life

Petals wander carelessly
Upon the whispers of the gentle wind
Beauty finds hope in the blue sky
And the golden rays of warmth
Light a smile on her face

Beneath the Willow Tree
I melt into the soil
Open and release my soul
Under her watchful gaze
Feeding on the wonders
Found only in her kiss

Her gentle embrace coerces eyes to open
Hands to splay over the small of her back
And tongues to seek hidden pleasure
In the fruits of her ambition

Eternal bliss is found here
In the endless ocean of knowledge
The outside

Nature is the purest of hearts
That holds a place for all
You fell in love with me.

I just hope you jumped.
Not slipped.
