My favorite sin

Shadows taste like unanswered crickets and last years leaves.
This question crawls in your skin
as you try to wring the answers out of *******.
There is no right or wrong
in the realm of exo-skeletons
so the crickets sing as
I part the earth and
come on your sacred soil.

I know what I am.

You are my sugar,
white and heaping.

There is only this.
There is only now.

You are here
and I am there
and I will choke on these
shadows the way you choke me
behind your lovely lashes.
Don’t die so soon,precious;
I have many flowers to
spread on your skin.

heart beats with passion
soul glows with compassion
The day of terror is over
New beginnings start when things end
Let go of useless memories of the past
They hurt you don't want to lose connection
Every hurt and lost should have meaning
In reality it's meaningless
It no longer exists but real to the heart
The mind wants to believe it could be relived
Holding on to it like its hope
Let go find something worth lacking onto
With reason purpose that makes you feel equal
Gives you pride and strength when you feel weak
Don't use failure to change
be inspired to change
Stop blaming yourself start over like the day

We are married to the Earth in an endless dance,
Floating through the abyss of life,
Imagining adventures with the stars -
Using the universe as our stage.
"Cratered with imperfections. We are the moon." - Lacus Crystalthorn
She inspired this poem with her words. :)
I do not belong.

No direction
No motives
No goals
The last puzzle piece
Noone ever seems to find

Everything
Keeps you awake
Nudging at your bones
Knocking on your thoughts
An unwelcome visitor

Upset
No reason
Blurred and fuzzy
Life loses reception
Uncertainty's latest victim

Dead end
Confused
The map is blank
Direction ceases
Pathway unknown

Welcome to "Nowhere".

The day you find love it starts in the heart
The emotions grow and you hope the person feels the same
Open up express yourself the only regret is if you end up hurt
You flirt and talk good times are made
The 1st kiss leads to much more
Night spent to get her sharing a bed
Time together made the world much better
Time apart the world feels empty not sure where to start
Protect the heart after being hurt
Eventually you'll open up and find true love in one another
Time away sometimes feels what a waste of a day
You pray one day for that chance mess up and hope for another
If it don't happen it's not meant to be
A whole new world open your eyes and see what it has to offer

— The End —
