Feel the warmth.
And share none of it with the rest of the world.
Embrace it and run with it.
Schemes are no match for the flaming tempest.
Here it moves like a holy fire from within.
Lighting up everything in its destructive path,
yet it leaves behind a much better result.
Coursing through veins of the Animal,
It only makes the creature stronger
against the inevitable forlorn.
Given the willpower,
It may crush me in its path.
I hope it does.

Cannot be tempted.
Believe it is impossible, simply
Because it is the truth.

Try all you want,
She will not bend to your ways
Or sway to your will.
            Give up.
Hope is lost for your cause.

The Woman cannot be
tamed
captured
rung
restrained.

She is the purple smoke you
And your bare hands will never catch.
That luscious mirage of water, just off in the distance.
But no matter how fast you run,
No matter how far you go,
You will never get it.

Just like her.

Oh, yes you may think you have won
When she turns to look your way,
But be advised.
It is only because she sees new game afoot.
Something to entertain her,
If only for a short while.

Be thankful when that time comes.

She will be done with you
sooner than you think.
And when she does so,
Don’t expect to see her again.

Just remember the time she generously gave you
And the shape of her body as she walks away.

It’s done.

The cold feeling came back,
Only this time it is here to
Stay. Forever.
Come back to salt old wounds
That never healed properly.
Believe me to be a mistake,
it can only cause harm.
Sabotage the life I had,
Collage it into something ugly.
Pick apart my own Heart
Shredding it to pieces and then
laying them on
A mirror.

I beg you.

Gaze into the hole where
My soul used to sleep, for
I wander the deserts alone now.
Searching for Nothing
So that I may find comfort in
Death.
No.
Prayers are beyond me.
Answers that are never heard
By deaf ears and numbed mind.

Twilight is gaining,
But by the time She arrives,
I will be no more.
And you will have forgotten me
altogether.  
It’s done.

We both go to bed
But I never get to sleep.
I pretend to dream as
I lie awake.
Seeing things that
Just aren’t real.

Like you and me.
Head over heels mad about
The whole thing
When really it’s just an excuse
To be animalistic

I can only imagine
What it should be.
As I lie awake
You reach for my hand
In the dark.
My fingers are warm
But then you lock yours in mine,
It becomes twice that.

Stroking the curve of my side
You whisper into my skin.
The chilly storm outside
Will keep us warm for the night.
Your soft lips are
all I ever wanted
And now I have everything
I ever needed. With you.

Mumbling sweet nothings,
You turn over in a dead sleep
As I lie, still blindingly awake.

A sobering thought,
To what really happened
Last night.
