A small flicker in the dark.
Follow it,
it leads to my heart.

The ruins of these walls
that used to stand
so mighty and strong,
are now gray dust  clouds
at your ankles.

The gold chain of my spirit,
is for you to bear,
to accent your diamond smile.
For we look good together.

It spews
golden sun showers
that follow you around,
like the sweet remembrance
of summer memories.

Single handed you have shown me,
that with honest words and
a gentle soul
you are the one, whom
can completely view the
dark side of my
true hearts moon.

With contour lines of touch,
starting at your shoulder,
down your arm,
overlapping to your stomach.
Slide my fingers across your back,
down your straight shot spine,
you shiver,
kiss my neck,
pull me closer,
breath is heavy,
nails across my back,
mark my skin with your presence.
Lets measure each other depths
in foreign waters,
of these sheets.
I want to see the color of your soul,
everytime you smile.
Up your shoulder blade,
to the back of your head,
trace your defined jaw
ending on your lips.
Eyes meet,
they're cloudy you say?
I think the rain is lifting.

your fingertips danced across my skin
like children in the snow
you caressed my aching soul
and slowed my rapid heartbeat
the light in your eyes
twirled about as our lips pressed together
your tongue sought solace
inside my mouth
and my teeth grazed your bottom lip
as payment for your loves newfound home

your fingertips stayed firmly inside
our locked hands
you traced my smile with your lips
and promised to write me love letters
describing how your heart soared
when i entered the room
i laughed and you raced
to remember the lines that formed
in the corners of my eyes
when my smile lit up

your fingertips stayed hidden in your pockets
as we walked together
down our favorite path underneath the moonlight
i thought it was quite romantic tonight
and felt love coursing through my veins
as i looked at you
but you kept your head down
and the only time you looked up
was not to look at me
but to look at the brilliance of the moon

your fingertips were holding her hand now
and your teeth grazing her bottom lip
as i had once done to you
you wrote her songs of love
and she wrote you poems
describing the brilliance of your eyes
my soul shrank at the sight of the two of you
my heart was a living flame
that eventually died out to ashes
at the the fact that i would never hold your fingertips in mine again

3 am,
Lost the remembrance of
how to sleep
and the taste of
the once blissful dreams that
occur after your head has hit the sheets.
How to fall asleep?
When the night time fire of
all the bad things keep
the lids of your eyes from falling involuntary.
Not even the puddle
that your eyes now soak in
can save you from the heat.
What works to lay infants to sleep
should allow you some peace,
But quick breath and dark things
seem to never flee.
How to fall asleep?
When knowing despite breathing z's
they are only a short pause from
all the destruction that will be at your feet
when you reluctantly awake.
Eternal sleep seems to the be
only way to escape dreary reality.
How to fall asleep?
