How
as we laid there
in the false light from the ceiling
I felt the need to ask you
how there came to be
two oceans on your face
above a smile when parted
let out pieces of your mind that
I tried to catch
how, in fact, did I come to know
you under those black-rimmed glasses
under a once impenetrable wall
of stone and ivy
how can I drink in
every decibel of your laughter
while knowing I will never drink
from your mouth
I am bound by the shackles
of rationale and reason.
They wear at my ankles
and wrists.
I pick at the itching scabs.
I know you had the key once,
but you lost it
in a struggle against
your own heart.
Now, you’re sprinting towards me
at full speed,
lock pick in hand.
Face red, you fumble it
with your hands,
like a child’s.
You’re half-sobbing,
half-chuckling
and biting my ear.
The shackles come off.
Then, I lose myself in you
and never find my way out.
Exhale your emotions
onto all of our memories
waxing as poetic candles,
rub your feelings all over me.
While vague unexpected hours
root deeply
and mingle inside all they see.

I can hear our laughter lingering
when night stands on the waters
of our love,
never growing tired or flickering.  
Following close behind
the heels of my heart
never leaving..........
or wandering.

We have been given a life
that comes after midnight,
guiding us,
letting no poison command our faith.  
I smile,
in knowing our love
will grow stronger,
as each day passes away.

We shared a moment...



it wasnt stolen

It was


merely loaned.


We  share that memory...

of what

could not be owned.
If there ever
comes
a point in time
when you feel
it's time
for you to
move on
whether it be
tomorrow or a
week or year
from now
always
remember these
words
YOU WILL ALWAYS
HAVE A
SPECIAL PLACE
IN MY
HEART
FOR I'VE BEEN
TRULY
BLESSED TO HAVE
YOU IN MY
LIFE
I've always loved you and always will.
That will never change.
I still do to this day.
I wish you could've
Loved me the same way,
but that's ok
