There is a vase sitting on my nightstand
filled with the crumbling remains
of what used to be
the most beautiful bouquet of snapdragons
I have ever seen.

It’s been there,
sitting next to the window
for months now,
melting in on itself
and today you finally asked me
why I hadn’t thrown it out yet.

Maybe it’s because
I never want
to lose that moment
when you gave me those flowers
and told me
you’d never stop loving me.


Maybe it’s because
I never want
the piece of my soul
that melts at your touch
to become solid again.


Maybe it’s because
I want to
etch the way your eyes gleamed
with the hope of tomorrow
onto the inside of my eyelids.


Maybe it’s because
if you stopped loving me today
I could look into the soul
of those wilted flowers
and be reminded
of our love.


But no one likes maybes
so I told you
I hadn’t had the chance yet
Hope you like it.

I seek to sing in praise of You
But my tongue will wither,dry.

I long to write odes and verses,
lauding You,
but
the world of its ink,I would deprive.

Extolling You is like giving the ocean a droplet.
Would the Sun be made splendid by my lit candle?

But my soul is soothed by an answer from You,
"Your failure to praise is praise enough."

Deep thoughts
Simple  touch
Heart pounding
Pulling you closer
Igniting nerves
Losing my mind
Body quivering
Giving in
You are amazing
Doing things your own way
Lonely man...lonely soul
Keeps to himself a world of solitude
A world of secrets
....night crops in...
Birds flatter in the dark trees...long shadows....silhouettes
Night of the full moon, bats cry nervously.
Man seized with fever...sweating....groaning....
hair growing longer body growing bigger
Clothes start to fall off...a distant howling is heard..,a tail springs
Beast man falls on all fours
Jumps through the window...on to the rooftop... Deciding where the howling came from...springs down and runs fast into the woods...
Looking for his pack.far away from humanity....in the dark rim, he howls again, a thunderous roar...the alpha is around
The pack sits.... long snouts gazing at the   moon, watching the clouds go by...there in the night...the urge to test blood engulfs his wild heart.
People don't understand
Blood must flow for blood
Before it can allow water
But in the end
It will all turn to ice
It's all the little reminders
That tear me down,
Again...
I think about her every night.
Certainly she was Heavensent.
She struck all of my nerves.
She gave me everything.
She let me steal her breaths,
she even let me taste us.
Then she told me to get bent,
more or less.
I must confess,
sometimes
I don't speak right.
