He's all mine,
My nocturnal mate;
As warm as fur
Beneath my sultry skin.

My fiery feline,
That freezes my fear;
Fuels my fury
And fans my fire into flame.

I'm made strong,
Created to bend not break;
Yet I cling for fear,
To my firm and fearsome friend.

For I may be bold,
But I'm bones and beauty;
Only made fierce,
By the reputation I've gained in him.

So I dare to walk,
In the path of fearless strides;
Gaining more grounds,
In leaps and bound with my fangs and fur
Dearest Ceasaro,

I belong to your yesterday.
'Don't intend to resurrect the past.
I'm least worthy of your today,
But tomorrow I'll breathe my last.

Against none I've sinned but you.
'Umpteenth times myself I've crucified.
My life's not worth to pay the due,
For the anguish I caused can't be denied.

But I'm here lying ill and due to die.
My only dying wish's to die in your arms.
I beseech you, my plea don't deny.
Let my last breath be your healing balm.

'So sorry, but I love you, still do
And always will even in death...

Kim.
Prompt: The Letter.
He thought she was gone forever. Today he received a letter from her.
Years have passed. 100 words or less what does the letter say?
Thou keep me warm,
Amidst bitter freezing cold.
Like sunrise at dawn,
Thy fire I still behold to hold.

Thy coolness enfolds
I"m cosy amidst scorching sun.
Thou refresh my soul
Healing every hurt and burn.

I'm enthroned here...
In a perfect place of ardor;
Where I find peace
And my inner being I explore.

My heart's my refuge,
My abode of warmth and coolness;
My sanctuary of serenity.
My actions I love to rationalize,
Even though I'm also emotionally wired.
But one thing I've come to realize
Is that, balance is key and most required.

As I walk this tightrope of my life,
The battles of heart and brain I must fight.
Life's rife with strife that cut as knife,
I'm it's victim or victor be it wrong or right.
****** lifted into a faraway boundless realm;
A void where nothing else but only myself existed,
In a nowhere once lost amidst endless whelm;
All alone to atone for every sin that left me twisted.

My soul I surrendered to solitude to swallow,
My spirit I yielded to the echoes of God's whisper,
My body I forsook for the sake of tomorrow...
To have a new lease on life to live; even by a whisker.

From nothingness He appeared like my father,
Held my hand and walked me down a familiar path;
Where His words painted sky, land and water
With primordial paintbrushes of purity of the heart.

His breath, He breathed into the water to ripple;
The sky He shaded to begot cloud and the infinite land,
He tilled into brown soil to sprout trees in triple
And said, "For you I made all things anew as planned."

With these words, from my presence He vanished;
As His words reechoed and reverberated me into reality.
I stirred awake to crystal sunrays most cherished,
Streaming from sunrise into my existence's neo nativity.

Now, it's a new day, a new dawn and a new dream...
That God in my father's likeness gave me one more time;
And for me to grow I must let go to be at the helm.
From hindsight, I now know this' a prime most sublime.
Have you ever had a dream, and yet it seems so real, and often involves impossible images of the surreal"
Before I met you,
I had not been searching
For my other half
Because I considered myself full
But now you're gone
And I have never felt so empty
Sometimes it takes a man to fall
to know the struggles through it all
to find out where it is he will stand

It takes many fallen tears to cry
to know that he can still remain strong
to know he can make right the wrong
and know he is not here alone

Pain it can teach what one don't understand
that the dreams are never gone
and you have to learn to be still
if you want to keep on moving on

Sometimes it takes a man inside to die
to feel a heart beat made of stone
to know that his soul is alive and real

hadley
long days end soft
i quietly fold your smirks and raunchy laughter
into a neat pile
slid under the doorframe
legs crossed in a warm room
is it denial or just a sense of security?
i listen to the cars pass
and for once
i try not to think about whether you also
sit quietly in your blanket of personality
i cannot prevent the lingering hope
that you are my sweet inversion
oppositely compatible
puzzle pieces, torn apart

yet i sit here, perhaps my own inversion
enough to complete all of the equations necessary
with nothing but my own racing mind
and beating heart
so i decide not to think of you
and enjoy a moment of pause
in the soft glow of what isn't immediately apparent
Two
I'm double
i'm not the me you know
lashed and and released by pain strung cords
i'm different
inseparable, covered
undiscovered
confusing, i know
my me is unknown
hidden by shadows
pls help me elope
I need wide space

i'm busted
crazy and know it
today I lost the battle
of myself, with myself, by myself, for myself
hands up in surrender
I move no further.....failed by trials
I want to elope.
