Too far, they whisper, hearts should hold their ground,
A deeper ocean, love has yet to sound.
But reason's voice, in passion's storm, is drowned,
Lost in your eyes, where I am truly found.

Logic's frail thread, a cobweb swept aside,
By tides of feeling, where my senses ride.
A reckless dance, on love's forbidden tide,
Though whispers warn, in you, my soul confides.

Too far, perhaps, for some may understand,
But in this depth, I've built my promised land.
Too far in love with you, again

If this love I shall only thirst,
A barren well, where hope submersed,
No cooling draught, no sweet relief,
Just parched desire, and burning grief.

A distant spring, a whispered song,
Taunts with its melody, all life long.
My lips are cracked, my spirit frayed,
Can love survive, forever unplayed?

But wait, a drop, a gentle kiss,
Perhaps this love's not lost, just waiting for this.
For this love, I shall only thirst,

In depths of twilight, embers softly gleam,
Love's distant flame, a flickering, fragile dream.
A yearning hush, a longing undefined,
A silent question in your searching mind.

Does passion slumber, waiting to ignite?
Or is it fading, lost to fading light?
A tender whisper, barely heard it seems,
Love's distant flame, adrift in moonlit streams.

Yet hope persists, a flicker in the night,
For even embers hold a hidden light.

A smile, like a siren, my defenses disarm,
Love's sweet persuasion, a captivating charm.
Logic surrenders, swept away by the tide,
Reason takes a backseat, emotions my guide.

Whispers of forever, paint futures so bright,
I chase after dreams, bathed in love's golden light.
Will I lose myself, in this passionate quest?
Can love conquer all, yet put my heart to the test?

But a fire too fierce can consume and destroy,
Is love's wild embrace, a beautiful ploy?
I surrender with caution, a bittersweet plea,
Love, get the best of me, but leave the best of me.

Though whispers may fade, and voices grow dim,
Love's echo remembers a constant within.
No journey too distant, no mountain too high,
Love's presence remains, a star in the sky.

In laughter that lingers, in tears that we've cried,
A tapestry is woven, where memories reside.
Love's touch lingers softly, a warmth in the breeze,
A rustle of leaves, whispering through trees.

We may wander and wander, on paths yet unknown,
But love's silent language, forever is sown.
A silent inscription, on hearts intertwined,
Love knows that we are here, forever enshrined.

the lie is a seed
when lies are told
are planted in the soul
thus
we give it
water and light to breathe
when the lie takes flight
then
we let it grow
while
it takes control
yes indeed
the deeper we go
reveals the essence of hate
shall create the path we sow

Not tangled vines, nor cages built of gold,
Love gives you space, a story to unfold.
A gentle breeze that whispers, "You are free,"
To chase your dreams, beneath a boundless sky.

Trust's open arms, a safe and steady hold,
Where wings unfurl, a tale yet to be told.
Roots that bind, yet let the branches climb,
A love that thrives, in its own gentle time.

So breathe it in, the air, so fresh and bright,
Love's gift of freedom is taking flight.
