Lost and lonely,
he lay broken on the ground.
He cried out, but no one heard the sound.

Then she whispered,
in a voice wild and free.
I am the wind, my sweet, come run with me.

The way she danced,
the way she moved across his skin.
Her fleeting kiss, that made him feel something again.

He loved her for her softness,
and for the way, that she moved through him.
He loved her, because he knew, that she would never be his.

My darling one,
I see the light on your
Horizon, and your desire
to run wild and free.
Your tempestuous nature
breaks my core,
Every time you run away from me.

My love,
I have to run.
I try to keep away the
Storm as best as I can.
I always come back,
To wash away every
line left etched across your sand.

My darling one,
It cuts more than lines,
The cracks grow deeper
every time you say goodbye.
You always run back,
your movements bound
to your lover in the sky.

My love,
It’s to you I’m bound,
It’s you who feels
my gentle caress.
And it’s for you that
I break myself
To return for one more kiss.

My eyes explore every curve.
I surrender to desire
Tides of passion consumes me
Rushed by lust,
Your flame inspires the fire.

Fingertips dance.
Tongues caress.
Bodies mould together
Beguiled by your scent
Enslaved by your kiss

Your sensual feast,
The sweet taste,
of heat and honey.
We move in rhythm
In race to ecstasy

In fevered motion,
sweat drips
Lost in sensual devotion,
nails across skin,
your weight on my hips.

Then, the quickening,
Our bodies surge,
breathless, entwined
Every inch of you perfect
Every inch divine.

Darkness in my dreams.

I fall asleep.
The nightmare begins.

I stand in a wasteland.
Devoid of life.
Surrounded by nothingness,
Fear grips me tight.

I feel the gaze of unseen eyes,
bore into my soul.
Shadows for around me
Like they want to take me
Like they are trying to swallow me whole.

I just stand there
Legs made of stone.
My mind races
telling me to run.
But still I stand.
In nothingness,
alone.

My heart jumps.
A figure approaches from the distance
Bathed in blackness
It's like he destroys light
Now I know it's time to run
It's time for me to take flight.

And so I run.
As fast as my legs will carry me
Into nothingness, in to nowhere.
Away from fear.

Blood pounds in my ears.
Sweat falls down my face.
I run and I run
But my fear gives chase.

I keep on running.
It's the only thing I can do.
He keeps on coming.
Relentless in pursuit.

Finally I stop.

I turn around to face my fear.
This figure cloaked in black.
It's all or nothing now.
There's no turning back.
For a moment I stand struck dumb.
As fear drips out of every pour.
Then I beat my chest
and bellow out,
'I don't fear you anymore.'

The blackness around him seems to subside.
And it's then that I see.
This demon on my dreams,
the thing I fear most
…..... is me.

I want to be the flush of cheeks when someone is embarrased
I want to be the unspoken words of the one who just can't say how he feels
I want to be the menagerie of butterflies that swarm in the stomach of the unconfident
I want to be the thought that says **** it in the mind of the one finally takes the next step
I want to be the pen that writes word that no on will ever see
I want to be the uplifting rush of a new romance
I want to be the tender kiss of lovers
I want to be the embrace that says everything is going to be ok
I want to be the goosebumps on the back of the neck of the gently caressed
I want to be the feeling of when you reach out for a body at night and find it there to hold
I want to be the keys on a piano that make the sound of love
I want to be the slient scream of the broken hearted
I want to be the tear that falls the unending distance from face to floor
I want to be the heart beat of the slowly dying
I want to be-

Run!
Just run away.
Don't stick around,
you'll just get hurt.
Escape from this madness,
you'll just get burnt
I know it's my fault
she's there in your dreams
And that she's there
when you close your eyes
But please trust me
heed my advice.
It might seem like the easy option
it might seem like the cowards way out.
Just run, save yourself, we can start again
We can rebuild the walls
Higher than before
And don't let anyone else in.


Don't run!
I know it's scary
I know you think taking this leap
Is completely insane
But Believe me it's not
Don't make this something you'll regret
Take a chance,
you know that you should
Take a chance
on something that could be so good.
I can't promise it won't hurt at times
I can't promise you won't take blows
But I can promise that the high will outweigh the lows
If you run and hide,
what then?
Remember if I do break
I will beat again.

All they are, are simple appendages,
Extending out from your wrist.
We use them to leave our mark,
They let us leave our fingerprints.

Extending out from your wrist,
They let us feel our way through life.
They let us leave our fingerprints.
More than minds do.

They let us feel our way through life.
Hands learn.
More than minds do.
They learn how to hold other hands

Hands learn,
Learn how to create melodies,
They learn how to hold other hands
All they are, are simple appendages
This is my attempt at a pantoum
