Love

Love, it's appearance causes emotional disturbance. My internal soliloquy brought to be I write these lines for thee.

Tender and fragile as a newly emerged butterfly. Quickening the pulse, two hearts beat as one, leaving my feelings undone.

I swim spellbound in the warm ocean of love,rapt and entranced by your mesmerising eyes. Their crystal sparkle a rival for stars in the night sky.

When your love did come to me cold empty vessel,I cast adrift on a lonely sea. My light,my love my comfort my saviour I am rescued and redeemed spiritually

I walk so often, late, along the streets,
Lower my gaze, and hurry, full of dread,
Suddenly, silently, you still might rise
And I would have to gaze on all your grief
With my own eyes,
While you demand your happiness, that's dead.
I know, you walk beyond me, every night,
With a coy footfall, in a wretched dress
And walk for money, looking miserable!
Your shoes gather God knows what ugly mess,
The wind plays in your hair with lewd delight---
You walk, and walk, and find no home at all.

i found blushed flowers inside crevices.
petals of poignant hues mimicking dusk,
stained by footsteps on the alley we roamed.
cigarette butts, exuding their last gasps,
float in puddles from graveled clouds that weep.
quarreling with tides, they refuse to drown.
they won’t sink this may, like i did last spring,
in a pool of lilac forget-me-nots.

begin again
look for the lipstick
look for the cuffed sleeves
look for my sanity

fall back
missing you comes in waves
i can’t tell exactly when it
first knocked me off my feet

a familiar pain

it’s okay if you’ve got nothing to say
cause i said what i needed to
it’s okay if you run away
cause i know where to find you
