My love is like the healing rain in spring That falls softly to nourish the earth She refreshes my sad weary spirit And brings my lonely soul peace and rebirth My love is like the warm summer sunshine That caresses the flowers into bloom She is fire she is alive with passion Her presence dispels dark from my room My love is like the wild wind of autumn A tempest that strips the leaves from the trees Restless and haunting she walks in my dreams Always searching I know not what she seeks Ah but when the chill of winter abides She will come home then to be by my side

A Modern Sonnet
We held hands in the dark When we couldn’t find another hand to hold We sewed them together so if we ever got lost we would know that we’d never be alone Watched the stars and the moon play peek a boo with the clouds And we danced in the rain Because we knew that together we were safe from the world Each taking turns shielding each others hearts from the pain of the outside Building walls of protection piece by piece Promising each other the sun will rise soon Just be patient Because night can only last for so many days But the stitches in our hands grew lose And roots of bitterness grew in our hearts And nothing seemed to be perfect anymore As we tried to fix all the stitches at the top The bottom ones began to fall Threads began to fray Leaving festering feelings of anger and hurt We tried to ignore it all Tried to keep it all together But the bitterness and anger grew Suffocating slowly If we both died would it be joint suicide Would it be a love story that would resemble Romeo and Juliet Or would it be a homicide Because we found the scabs that hurt the most And pushed until we couldn’t go anymore We held each other While squeezing the others vulnerable heart Until pieces slowly began to crack As if we were boa constrictors squeezing their prey for the next meal Yet never actually killing the prey But letting it suffer breathe by breathe Yet never letting it enjoy its last few moments of life Broken promise and broken hearts Pain written in the clouds above The inevitable written in the stars It’s time to rip the last of these stitches out as if they were band aids Let these wounds have a chance to finally heal It’s time to let the sun rise and to see what around the next bend in the road Because our hearts won’t heal behind these walls And our silent murders are getting out of hand Wash the blood off your hands and say our good byes Because this will be the last sip of poison that I will take

Frayed Threads
