I love the silence of the night
my head upon your chest,
as I listen to you breathe
you deep, in peaceful rest.

The passion of us in the air
stays a sweet memory,
the love which we have shared
in all of its beautiful glory.

Observing your eyelids dance
of the dreams filling your mind,
I wonder how sweet they are
and the delight in them you find.

I could live this moment every night
lost in such loving content,
thanking the stars of heaven itself
for this beautiful love, I've been sent.
When the last whole-hearted hero falls
True blooded poet warrior
Who challenged those
That turned cities and homes
Into barren bombed out wastelands,

When the wooden walkways
Are consumed
By the brush,

When the concrete
Cracks from nature’s ****** up,

When the canyons fades
Turning colorful shades
To white, black, and gray,

When the green hummingbirds
Cease the beatings
Of their supersonic wings,

When the tired panther
No longer sleeps
Or rises to drink
From a sweet summer spring
After hunting and eating
Some other wild thing,

When all things living
Start to decay
Then solar winds
wipe them away
In ultraviolet rays
Of destruction and disintegration,

When time forgets
That we ever existed.
Beneath murky, bloodied water, it beats.
The lonesome heart of a saint.
With every beat, the still water ripples.
Agonising.

Lips like cherry wine.
Porcelain, icy, skin.

Will you remember the taste of my lips?
Will you remember my hands when he touches you?

Will he caress you the way that I did?
Will he care for you more than I did?

I breathe beneath the ***** water.
Heartbeats slowing down, almost inaudible.
When suddenly, the beating stops.
The water stops.

My fingers prune and my chest throbs.
It's cold.
Lady said
"Shut up about the storm
else you'll be in one"
Charming, I thought
