A moment spent gazing into her eyes, is an eternity of wonder captured by the mind.
Time begins to mean so little in the grander scheme of this chaotic life.
My love for her is unexplainable, it just is.
There is no means in which words could ever depict the beauty of her gentle kiss,
or the touch of her sweet embrace.
This moment turns into an eternity of everlasting love-
A love spent lost in a lifetime of wonder captured by time.

As I stare at the murals on the walls of the cave,
That reflect the history of the gods and goddesses,
I can’t help but wonder about my history.
I feel a lifetime has passed me by…

I have done many things I could be proud of but yet
There’s always an abyss of things I should be doing.
My journeys far and wide only remind me that
I am but a speck in this world and yet in the present
Emotions trap me in this dimly lighted cave.

Was it the same for the immortals on the walls?
Like them, will I have a story to tell,
Of ancient wars and love pursuits?
Or will mine be one of quiet battles and distant affairs?
As I gaze at the gods in silent wonder, I ask myself,
Was I better yesterday or Is Tomorrow My only Hope?

The answer, I realized then, was staring me in the face,
Yesterday is hard and engraved, no one can change it
But,Tomorrow, is like an empty space on the wall of the cave,
I, like the Gods, have the power to design it.

A nightly caricature of love in the arms of strangers.
Shut my gray eyes and it
almost feels the same.

I never open my eyes
when they come near.
Ecstasy, confined
to the science of it.

Entangled legs for the sake of our skin.
Shuttered eyes and lonely fingers and
teeth and whispers and nails and caresses and clutches and kisses and
wide eyes and
shut them again.

Tired escape into the damp night,
darkness compounded as gray clouds
slink over the moon.
The night is weary, and I miss the sun.

I am weary.

Lay me down, and I
shut my gray eyes.
