the sun illuminates her skin
showing me her soul within
she dances about, warm in the sun
blissfully peaceful in the hidden garden
she opens her eyes
and glances towards me
and her soul drops to her knees
and weeps.
she reaches out with the light surrounding
to show what she feels
i feel warmth and love
i feel beauty and yearning.
i am basking in peace.
i feel my own soul reach out
and for a moment two souls meet
they became one
and all is still except the two souls
dancing as one in the sun.

Pretty Little Pink,

all wrapped up in silk,

for me.

Beautiful you are,

a gift to gaze upon,

making the hunger grow inside.

My oh my,

you do look delectable, my dear;

and I am starving.

The ghost of you is seen
Everywhere
It’s seen in the toothbrush you left
In your hurry to leave me
It’s seen in the flowers you picked
Just two days ago
When you said you loved me
And forever would be ours
The book you left on the coffee table
And the little bookmark inside
With your doodles on it
The ghost of your hand
On my palm
Your shampoo lingers on the pillow
In the bed we shared
I see you everywhere
In almost everything
It’s painful to know
That you’re still here
Yet not in any way
That has anything to do
With me.

love of mine, forgive me.
i wanted you all for myself,
and i kept you when you weren’t mine to keep.

here we are.
i look at you with hope, while you’ve stopped looking at me.
so just take me whole.
drown me.
rid yourself of me.

be free. be happy. be yours.

you were never mine to begin with,
i was simply a foolish soul trying to conquer the ocean.

d.f.
