Love

Love

This silly thing we call Love.

This idea of euphoria, that exceeds any drug.

Love

Love

It drives us poets out o' our minds

when we sit down to write, seems it's the topic all the time.

Love

Love

it's a funny little word

no definition could quite fit it, but yet none sound too absurd

Love

Love

some say it keeps them going

It's a **** in the garden, that simply won't stop growing

Love

Love

if it's true it don't stop

even if you won't admit it, there's someone in your thoughts

Love

Love

it's what I feel for you

and darling after all this time, I pray you still do too.
We saw hundreds of human skulls,
bleached,
lined up in in neat tidy rows
amongst the dunes.
Each had in bullet hole
right in the middle of the top of their heads.
We figured each person was lying face down when they got the fatal shot.
Then they were left dead there,
fully clothed,
to rot
in the hot desert sun.
They say,
what you don't know
won't hurt you.
But now that you do know,
do you feel anything?

You kissed my forehead,
It was gentle
But like poison ivy,
It poisoned my mind
You brushed my flesh
Caressed,
Felt,
Skimmed,
Barley a touch,
But like a nettle rash
My skin itched, red to the touch,
This was meant to be love
So why did it hurt so much,
Love was meant to be gentle
Fond,
Caring,
Tender,
But you were in love
With just giving me pain,
But I craved your heart, I would take either,
For both were the same like poison
Both contaminated the heart
Love, hate,
Different but the same
Both are parts of love
Both poisonous to the heart
