He holds a flute of hollow reed

To lips divine and blows.

When I hear the tune he plays

I feel my breath doth slow,

My mind doth drift

Away from time and sense

And when he leaves

For what he takes

There is no recompence.
Every once in a while,
I put my hand on my heart,
When I feel it hurting,
And I tell it not to worry -
I reassure it that all the scars
It often collects
Will one day be healed.
-just being honest

Chloe
We leaned into each other's personal space.
The pebbled surface of her bicep rubbed against my tattoo the skin gently rasping.
When she stepped close, close enough our arms brushed, I was reminded of how well she knew me.
We shared a dark intimacy over identical experiences.
She understood my demons on a deeper level.
I felt less alone with her, less fake.
Our mutual knowledge of the other meant I didn't have to pretend.
When I had to leave home she sheltered me.
For a week I learned about her experiences, quirks, triggers, and lifestyle.
Nothing was left out.
It took three nights before I could be coaxed into her bed.
I had been sleeping in the closest unwilling to join her.
She lent me her car during my stay.
Her driving privileges were temporarily revoked.
I drove her everywhere.
Everything we did had an undercurrent of personal knowing.
It was a private understanding of the other.
It brought us closer in more ways than proximity.
We're all wrong
but
we think we're
Right
I guess thats better than being Left
behind
to fend for the self in this
dark
cold world
still,
the sky shines kinda bright
at night
doesn't it?

Since, as you know, a kiss is best when shared with someone else,
   And since you know a single kiss is not as good as two,
Let's make a deal we both can love like chocolate loves to melt:
   For every kiss you give to me, I'll give a kiss to you.
Don't term the fate unkind
leave your bad memories behind
and make a start
with a mind
which is refined
