She is a white peacock,
a rare vision in a world of color,
pure as the first snowfall,
a ghostly silhouette in the moonlight.

Her feathers whisper secrets of the sky,
each plume a delicate brushstroke
in a painting of ethereal grace.

She moves through the world like a whisper,
a silent symphony,
her beauty not loud, but profound,
not flashy, but timeless.

In the forest, she is a specter,
a dream drifting between trees,
her eyes holding the wisdom of ages,
her presence a gentle revelation.

She dances in the twilight,
her steps a poem of solitude,
her existence a testament
to the beauty found in quiet places,
the majesty in still moments.

She is a white peacock,
a rarity, a wonder,
a reminder that in a world
brimming with noise and color,
there is unparalleled beauty in the serene,
the subtle,
the silent.

Can I kiss you beneath the Chestnut Trees? Capture you with my ancient branches, press you into my breast?
Will you curl nearer? Wind your roots with my own, Welcome me with dampened Spring soil? Shall we stay right here? Forever? Puffing in dusty pollen until Summer seeds sprout through our brittle cracks? Could we just? Should we just?
Little love letters I'll never send.

It started with a day where life beat you down,
Punctuated by a long day at work
Staying late in the office, not able to leave
A confused look as the door swings open,
Everyone else already went home
An oh so familiar face steps through, not supposed to be here

An inescapable sigh escapes your lips towards a lopsided grin.
Not having the energy to deal with this.
Yet still you approach undeterred from your plan.
You came with 5-star food and paper plates
Plastic champaign glasses and electric candles.
To complete the facsimile a trip to the large bay windows
An empty desk and white table cloth
For a moment beneath the setting sun
The mind-numbing office becomes a diner under the stars.
A meal that sends you back to a trip in Paris
The sounds and smells draw you in.
The cliché music earning a chuckle
A friendly face and easy conversation
Is a welcome relaxation to ease the mind.
And for the time we longer engulfed by the hustle and bustle of life
But in a place of dreams and reminiscing
From nothing more than an office dinner.

It finally happened.

The moment we both waited for.

Like two blushing pilgrims ready stand,

To smooth a rough touch with a gentle kiss.

For saints have hands,

that pilgrims hands do touch.

It's the way I felt when I kissed you,

For the first time.

In my bones running fire,

My soul returning to water.

You stole the air from my lungs,

Only to breathe life back into me.

Like every part of me I thought buried,

Awoke with the touch of your lips.

You felt it too.

Yeah you I'm talking to you.

The weight lifting off of our shoulders,

For how long we've carried desire.

Oh dear Saint,

Let lips do what hands do.

What happened once,

The pilgrims pray for many more.
You.

take me wherever you want,
and talk however you feel.
ask for whatever you need,
i'll always stay here

scream and curse, i don't care
cry out all of your tears
because silence is killing my hope
you are something i've wanted for years

thou art
more fair     than a red apple
beneath the legs
      of an enormous fly

      thou art more
fragrant than
fresh     blacktop on a
hot summer's day

thou
art more free
      than a      penguin flying
a spaceship with fun bumperstickers

waken thou with me

One day I will wake up to find you
next to me, only an arms length away.

Feeling the touch of your warm embrace,
First thing in the morning.

The first light of sunshine will touch your face,
And set those eyes of yours on fire.

Your sleepy smile,
Knowing that you look for me even then.

Our mornings will be full
Of our famous whispered words.

Your tender kisses
And the safety of being in each other's arms.

The whole world outside will wait for us,
In that moment, we are all that matters.

I long for the day we share long and loud breakfasts,
While we laugh about all the mistakes we made.

Every day starts with the simple joy of being with you,
But that is nothing more than a dream.

I hold this dream close,
Knowing every day we get a little closer.

But all that is nothing more than a dream,
A distraction from this destructive life.
The love grows, but so does the pain with it.

Her: I have a confession...
Him: what kind of confession...?
Her: I tried to **** myself.
Him: at what time...?
Her: last night at midnight.
Him: that's nice. we attempted at the same time.
Her: ...
Him: let's meet up the next time you feel low, hmm?
The thing is, he didn't try to commit suicide.
A short story :D attempting to suicide isn't a light matter, so pls take caution when approaching this topic :) <3
