We sleep
So our darkest thoughts
Can be passed off
As nightmares

I could keep ignoring the facts.
Disregard, every red flag you
wave in front of my face.
Only to pretend things are alright
until I go off the edge.
But doesn't that seem obnoxious?
I'd rather be alone.

Together, we walk through the red midnight,
soaking our hearts in each other's tears,
releasing our fears into the starlit sky,
wishing them away, one by one, into the dusk.

Together, we ride upon the fluorescent moon,
indulging in each other's madness,
feeding each other the sanity we crave,
and closing the wounds that only love can heal.

Together, we dance in the amber rain,
purifying our souls and washing the pain away,
renewing ourselves and unleashing our hearts from their cocoons.

Together, we glide with the innocence of angels
tasting perpetual serenity.

Together, we hold time in our hands,
and crush it gently until the pieces blow away.

Together...we share tonight.
This is another poem I wrote when I was 17 that is very special to me!
The comfort of your arms
was disguised as sleep
as I prematurely opened my eyes
to the dark cold morning.
I couldn't look for the sun,
only for you and your skin.
The heavy in my eyes
was calling to your affectionate touch.
The weight in my heart yielding
as the weight closing my eyes
blurred my thoughts.
As I embraced you in my half-sleep dreams,
calling to you with unsyllabled prayers,
you heard me and answered.
As your arms entangled me,
coaxing me back down
into my slumber of unyielding lust
knowing there's nothing more desired
than just being alone with us.

I miss you the moment you are gone.

For this of castled velvet throne
A queen does weep a single tear
Bleak shadows of this night have grown
To cast upon her heart this fear

Reflection polished marble floor
Her silhouette of humbled reach
Now shutters via nightmare’s pour
Alone of bridges fought to breach

Beyond the window valleys sleep
Soft candle flame in slumbered night
Flickering her pain felt deep
Burning through in cautioned light

An empty throne aside her heart
Its warmth now chilled of worried feel
That day her love he did depart
Read messages to long conceal

Her single kiss of cherished due
A farewell bid, pled safe return
Lost amidst this sorrowed view
And loneliness again did burn

As if the dawn had been his shield
In misty haze on moor’s harsh breath
Of forest frame it had concealed
A moment quick of arrow’s death

She takes this single tear she’s cried
Into a glass of liquid clear
This droplet of her love applied  
Her broken heart to wish him near

And brings this potion to her lips
Such bitter taste slow going down
A whispered hope in swallowed sips
To then remove her saddened crown

Upon his throne of gold now rests
She breathes one final moment pure
Her eyes now close of wishful quest
*To be with her sweet king once more
My love is burning me alive
Come wash your passion
over my body of lust
Come drench my life;
let me drown in us.

-[Unfinished]-
My heart is slowly pounding within my chest
with love strongly resounding:
This devotion will last forever
and my passion will never rest.

We're so ******* used
to being torn apart
by those we've loved
and given our heart.
Now, it's coming too close
to what we've barely saved
These buildings of stone
can't keep us safe
from loving each other
and these "little earthquakes"

Still devoted,
Still trying...
Yet, so much effort
and still left crying.
We talk it out
find a place
that we agree
and still feel safe
But, then we sleep
and morning calls
feelings change and
we lose it all.
Back to heartache
back to pain
if we 'talk' again
will it end the same?
I want to be your rock
I wanna be strong
My heart'll try forever
...if it'll last that long.

Relationships are a lot of work for some. My queen and I were destined to be together as night and day. Forever touching, longing to be together, but the universe together against us. We found our eclipse and we're fighting to never let it go. This is about those hard times that bring up all of those doubts, insecurities and hopelessness. I had to be strong. I had to want it more than anything I've ever wanted before. And all of that hard work is starting to pay off with gentler times when we're not in agreement. We're learning. I'm learning to be a better man because she deserves nothing less.

[Little Earthquakes is an amazing song by Tori Amos dealing with similar issues.]
I'm so tired this morning
from dreaming so hard
I closed my eyes so tightly
dreading to wake apart

Response
Phantom shadows in my periphery
Wandering memories haunting me
Your lingering touch upon my skin
The fading feeling of you within
Light of day comes all too fast
When all I want is this dream to last.
