Late night calls;
faintly sober promises.

"You made sense
when everything didn't."

Stop seeking pain to feel alive.

Your voice is my favorite song.

~*D.C.

"Sweetie, you weren't healthy for me."

You inhabit my every waking memory.

~*D.C.

You
are my morning song,
and my favorite evening lullaby.

Keep I love you from
ever becoming a reflex response.

I
let the waves
take me back
to the shore.

"Before you,
the days were good.
With you,
the days were better.
Without you,
the days will never be the same."

"When I was young, I heard somewhere that when you look up to the sky and watch birds as they fly, you undeniably wish to go on an adventure, and for years I've watched them flown, until I met you. And without warning, without a clue, adventure found me."

Even in
the cold,
even in
the dark,
Your presence
is a source
of warmth.
Even when
I stray
into
my
night,
You
beckon,

"Love wasn't a battle, love was a willing surrender, yet still you insisted someone was going to lose -someone had to lose- so we both lost."

"Where is your heart?”
she asked.
So I told her
“Wherever you are.”
and that is the truth.

She was as if sunlight in my hands;
right there but constantly slipping
through the gaps of my fingers.

Roses askew on the floor
and scented lilac candles
flickering fleetingly into the wind
outside
these rusty windows
that creek and break
my sleep
in the middle of most every night
I turn
and I can see You
vividly
as if yesterday
You were not the silhouette
of the woman
that I have come to love.

"If I were a storm,
you would be the sea;
you fuel both the chaos
and the serenity
in me."

I Love You
I Love You
I Love You
I Love You
I Love You

"I don't want a love like that,
where someone feels entitled to be loved by you
when you feel like finding time for yourself.
I don't want a love like that for you."

"I still remember a time before you, and with it I can say with certainty that everything is different now. I have known loss and heartache, but I've also discovered love and wonder, and all this you have brought by simply being true to yourself."

"It meant everything to you,
and nothing to them."

Pity naught the fool who stood agape at the mouth of the abyss,
Who henceforth became a delirious, demented *******.
For very few are those who return from the precipice
Left with scars  that are all but a trifle.

‘Tis not fire that burns, that brings about anguish.
‘Tis not rain that drowns, that brings about pain.
A sanguine dullard will forever seek to diminish
What a benighted scholar will endeavor to sustain.

Hath thee the prudence
To discern the ciphers
In the deafening silence?
In the earsplitting whispers?

The fiends,
Their eyes
Of sordid coal
Conceal the truth
Of what they are after.
Their forlorn cries beseech the soul
With venom as clear as polished lacquer.

Yearning for your love that will always be true,
Offering these words as a memory of you.
Under the light of the ever-watchful moon,
Affectionately wishing that I'll be with you soon.

Reminiscing of the times when we were together,
Every moment of it all made me feel so much better.
Maybe someday I'll find the right words to say,
You are my only one, and may you never go away.

Surprising me with every little thing that you do,
Uttering your words that are as sweet sa honeydew.
Never wanting to see me down and alone,
Singing me to sleep in your lovely caring tone.

Here in my thoughts, a sweet surrender.
If only this moment could last forever.
Now that we're close, I won't ever let you go.
Eyes that tell me, of a wonderful tomorrow.

A little while ago, you gave me a promise,
For the one thing that you'll never want to miss.
To be with me, no matter how far apart we are,
Even if you're gone, we'll be wishing on the same star.

Rendering me speechless with your sweet caress,
Through the sound of your voice, I have to confess.
Here in your arms is where I want to stay,
Endlessly caring for you, in every single way.

Reaching out to a photo of you and me,
And smiling at how the two of us were meant to be.
Inside my room, I end this one short note.
Not even sleepy, hope you'll like what I wrote.

Where do you take me?
You take me
everywhere;
“over the mountains,
and under the stars”
Darling.

I have loved You dearly
Before,
and I will love You dearly,
even After.

*D.C.

"I love the way light dances in your eyes when you talk about the things you love. There is so much goodness in you that I've started seeing the good in me too."

Raven
and Crow,
vows
exchanged
unconditionally.
Luna
and Solus,
celestial
keepers of
their desiderata;
souls
intertwined
for
all
of
time
in the ever-yonder
of Nyx Nightmother's
gentle embrace.

Word-weaver,
Soul-keeper.
Heart-seeker,
World-eater.
You steal away
the sorrow
buried
deeply
in my chest,
and it
no
longer
hurts;
the act
of breathing,
the act
of being.
You tug at
my heartstrings
and I wonder:

“Can you hear the symphonies you’ve composed?”

"When I go, you will miss me very much, and this I know. I would never mean to hurt you, Darling, but I have to leave you behind as well, and the part that makes this difficult is that you will tell me to take care, even when you want me to stay."

"When you go, I will miss you very much, and this you know. You would never mean to hurt me, Darling, but you have to leave me behind as well, and the part that makes this difficult is that I will tell you to take care, even when I want you to stay."

"You knew of words,
but not meaning."
