We collided like a train rushing in from behind,
Your memory and I.
My breath stuck in my throat, unexpectedly.
Tears stinging my eyes, staining my cheeks, involuntarily.
Has your ghost been lingering, shadowed,
Waiting to spring upon me like a serpent in the grass?
Don't tempt me with that shattered past.
I'd gladly place the shards of history's heart back into your hands.
Blatantly disregarding every reserve my mind fires,
Happily risking it all just to taste our youth.
Begone with you phantom! If that's what you are.
Stay only if your monstrosity lingers well into our future.

You're the winter, that cools my endless summer.
You're the frost that chills my burning embers.
You're my best friend
My soul's mate
My lover.

You're the stillness that calms my restless soul.
You're the anchor that stops my wandering heart.
You're my best friend,
My soul's mate,
My lover.

You're the moon that lights my starless night.  
You're the space I need to fly.
You're my best friend,
My soul's mate,
My lover.

You're the cosmic wonder for whom I fell.
You're forever, and ever as well.
You're my best friend,
My soul's mate,
My lover.

she did not want anyone
to understand her

she did not want the world
to understand her

she did not want the sky nor the ground
to understand her

she just wanted
   to understand
               herself.

I hovered ever so lightly above his mouth
Inhaling his trembling, wanting breath
Shivering with delight as I traced his lips with my tongue
And when he bit me, I let out the sweetest of whimpers....
I lifted my head, dizzy, heart racing
Pressed hard against his chest
He's beautiful
I felt it then, the pang one feels
when they miss that one step
That mini heart attack, as you try not to fall....
And then, silently, unknowingly,
I fell!
He took me over and I was lost in the emotion of his touch
He took me over and with every sweet ******, every unraveling kiss
I felt it stronger
Spiraling beneath him, I let go
Fallen
And so, I Love!
