When a colleague's name
could suit that of a **** star's,
smirks are on the house.

If love can be withdrawn
It never was

My love for you is not a gift
    To you
      It is a gift
        To me

but not alone again.
alone when?
whenever I chose.
I maintained the prose
of lonely men.
I threw my woes at
selfish friends
but oh, to hold
that bad blood in.
outside, pretend,
then inside, again?
insufferable
immense
inner turmoil commence
post-armageddon I make
inner amends
what floods I've ridden
what waters I spin
what swirling singularity
like a drain
pulls me in?
I swim now
in oceans
much larger than those
the blows I have known
have softened the glow
I sit in repose
the universe knows
everything -
it's slowly spinning as we
quietly sing
and I conjure the means
to re-see everything.

she
such a simple word, but I love it.
she breathes
and she does every single day.
she breathes on
on what? depends.
she breathes on my
my, my, my, what do we have here..oh..
she breathes on my skin
and I wish to never feel anything other than this feeling in this exact moment in time because in all honestly, *nothing has ever felt this pure.
she breathes on my skin and
and? and?! what more can be done?
she breathes on my skin and calms
calms... me.
she breathes on my skin and calms my
my heart. my mind. my ever breaking spirit and soul.
she breathes on my skin and calms my mind
and she does. all I ever hear is my mind, but during these moments, our souls connect and I feel at peace.
I love her, I truly do.

I want someone
to be my friend
or maybe more
it all depends

If there's a spark
that lights both our flames
it could be fun
if not, no blame

Just to be held
can be such bliss
to hold in return
perhaps share a kiss

Should things progress
yet further still
please bear in mind
I mean no ill

If I put my trust in you
and you put yours in me
we could get more entendre
by doubling it you see!
