i
i know it's late,
but i have to call you,
just to hear your
velvet voice and rushed breathing.

i know it's late,
but i have to know
what are you doing,
are you sleeping, dreaming
of me?

i know it's late,
but darling, i love you,
and i can't survive
the night without you.
Here in the Neverafter
I have seen the things you won’t show
It’s such a sweet disaster
Just how much our love could have grown
But I can taste the emptiness
That lies behind each smile you fake
And I can feel your hate infest
Watching every move you won’t make
And it’s not that I don’t love you
It’s not that I don’t care
It's just that I have seen your every microscopic layer
Despite what you may think, I’m not afraid of being alone
But I am afraid that you’ll suffocate my soul
Because I've already died a thousand times
With every time you never said “I love you” first
And I've bled a million tears
With every day that you've been so far from my side
I’m haunted by the memories of who you used to be
Before your lies became perverse
And I’m chocking on the ashes
Of the love you threw away
Before I left you so far behind
And the stories of the person
That you never used to be
Like an echo in a graveyard
Of a love that could not be
And the mourning of the people
We never could have been
There’s a story never told here
It’s the one of you with me
I have been sitting on this for quite a long time, always thinking there was more to say. It seems that it was finished long ago.

There is autumn in fiction
And another leaf has fallen.

In his own spring,
To a perpetual tree of fantasy
And magic realism, birth he had given, forgetting,
His voice will be dumb.

Hence, ages and ages,
The tree will emit fragrance,
And mankind will smell it.

It will be sweet melodies
For the souls in the modern world.

But there is autumn in fiction
And another leaf has fallen.
I stand before the mirror and look at my self.
He seems no different from me.
But within the reflection, not deeply therein,
Lies something I don't want to see.
I've tried to conceal it, but it can't be contained,
Or hidden behind a false smile.
No matter the effort and masks I've applied,
The sinner shines through all the while.
I've tried persuading, I have tried forcing,
And I've tried ignoring him out.
My self has evaded my every attempt,
Ahead one step every route...but one.

All of this time I've been fighting alone
When You have been here by my side.
Though I've been battling my self for so long,
Without You, the victory is not mine.
I ask You now, Lord, take my self away,
And help me to be more like You.
I cry out, oh Lord, take my self away,
Until there is only You.
This was written years ago, not only in my repentance, but in reflection on the circumstance that led me to first believe.

Nameless
I spill out not only ink onto the paper...
but my soul,
my deepest fears,
a few hopes and dreams,
but also some lost things.

Whisper

I want to whisper words
so sweet
so softly in your ear
I'll want to stand so close
so only you can hear

I'd tell you of a love
that I'm holding
just for you
I'm whispering because
these words
they will be few

The time it will be quick
but the words
whispered quite slow
I want to stay with you
longer
but I know I have to go

Soon I will return
to again whisper
words so pure
you will feel
my whisper again
of that
you can be sure

I'm sure I saw your fingerprints
a subtle mark upon my skin
forgetting your touch now
I wonder how long it's been

A voice once called me
from within a busy crowd
I turn knowing you're not there
the sound disappeared into
the clouds

I sometimes inhale the scent of you
but you're nowhere to be seen
although when I clearly see you
I forget it's only my dreams

a soft sensation on my neck
your warm lips and scented breath
those full lips once told me you loved me
and how much I meant

the curls behind my ear gently move
I know it's your whisper, from the past
the words that flowed from your mouth
telling me that this kiss would be our last
