The river
Pecked the shore
I saw your crimson lips

The sun
Kissing the skyline imprinted
Memories of waking by your side

Autumn set around me
Cold wind on my neck
In place of your heated skin

The seasons change makes me ache
To shed clothes like leafs from trees
To cover and compliment you
With the colors of my heart
Couldn't find a title fitting enough, suggestions would be appreciated.

When you want something,
but you don't know what.
Maybe it's a want to want,
misplaced in hopes of filling
the ever-present void in you.
Maybe it's happiness.

Maybe it's as close as you'll ever get.

How Strange.
You long for change,
but you are loath to redo.
And thus, loathe yourself.
And this loads on you,
on your coarse course.

Preventing the Metamorphose,
and forces you
into your torturous fortress.
A cocoon,
that protects against monsoons
but not the typhoon raging inside,
waking Typhon,
and blowing out
Prometheus's fire.

Oh how Oedipus Wrecks
the tedious good
until spiritless.
But never hopeless

Pandora's box is open
but Sparta's soldiers
will close it and guide you
from Tartarus to Olympus
and change, you will.

Shed your mortal grossness
for immortal happiness.
No common sense
that this recklessness
has consequences

When you do realize
What the Fates's foretold
it will be too late.

The months has passed
The weeks has gone by
And the days has turned countless
Since I've felt your fingers sliding over my skin
Since I've been able to look you in the eyes
Since you been completely mine

Nothing can compare to being with you
Not just with words over a screen
Or voices over a phone
I want to hear you
See you
Feel you
Smell you

I don't mean that we need to talk
Or stare at each other all day long
Because just being near you
Whatever we might do
I want to be with you

I've waited a very long time
And tomorrow

I hope you'll be mine

It's 12 a.m. and you can't fight it anymore.
The tension that builds up
between your shoulders.
Where your dreams, wants and needs
try to come crawling it's way out of you.
You can feel their nails
tearing at your skin...
Scars and bruises only your eyes can see.
It's a ball of fury waiting to ignite.
Fire shoots up to your head.
Headaches that don't seem to go to sleep.
So your awake in the night,
with your anxieties pounding at the
walls of your skull begging for mercy.
And here you are,
wanting to do so much about it
Yet, you've done so little to even begin to fix it.

You take forever to reply
But I'm still waiting for you
When you walk away
I stand there waiting for you

You thought I forgot what we had
But it's impossible to forget my heart
The most vital thing to me
Is in your grasp

I'll be waiting for you
To give your heart back
Cause you still have mine
So its fair I have yours too
