In   the eyes of a wandering love
A   shadow cast upon you with just a
Glimpse   of the magic I fall for you
Of   all the moments shared together
Time   cannot grant me enough
So   I will carry your brittle heart
Small,   yet a miracle of beautiful grandeur
We   overlap as dark purples on the canvas
Fall   into one anothers arms at will
In   such a small world, we found love
Love   in the deepest sense of all that is

Falling in love is so ******* dangerous,
If they don't catch you, it's practically

My galloping love
Untamed to these treacherous hills
Steady the unraveling nerves
That fall like petals
From these outstetched stems
You once relied on

Emotions culminate atop this crest
To the enjoyment of the howling wind
Brushing cascades to the north
I feel your presence crashing into me
Like the carless crescendo
Exciting
My broken heart

Your smile dances around my head
As a sultry chasse
inviting memories abound

Of the prancing *******
Beneath our swimming souls
And our warm blooded bodies
Falling in love
Like a tender tompé into my arms

I can feel your touch
A subtle
Yet electric brush of comfort
As the pouring rain smears around me
Casting clouds into shadows
Like your hiding just out of sight

No matter the distance traveled
Or the places you call home
I will always be holding your hand
To mend a bond gone aloft
But not forgotten

Until the sun and moon
Forget how to play
I will cherish what we shared
With a key around my neck
To our locket of love
And everlasting friendship


For you

Love is miraculous
It's countless bubbles perched on your shoulder
Surviving our baths journey
your soft skin wrinkles
As tiny toes adapt to the water

It's miracles making eye contact

While the sun sets
Between our gushing hearts

It's the burning down our throats
From the poison we share
Before a long night out

The many seasons of our love
Autumn encased our passion
As the falling leaves
Crunch beneath our feet

Love is the laughter
And our endless touch

If souls exist
Ours are holding hands

The cuts and the bruises
Of painful nights of regret
Love is worth remembering
When all you want to do is forget

It's tasting you after a long day
And the feeling of your heart
Knocking against my chest
If to plunge through the doors
Into my cyclone of desires

Love is the songs we sing
And the movies we watch
Altogether
It's the memories we have
And not knowing the last time
We'll get the chance to make more

To be honest
Love ****** me up
Not caring if I failed
Or made a mistake
Love would catch me

Love is the last time we kissed
The last time I held your hand so tight
But now that you're gone

Love is something cold
A cadaver drained of a soul
A pile of mass to dissect
Love is cutting yourself
Just to see if you heal

In all the madness
Love is
And will always be
A curse of the ******
Yet plush to the touch of wonders

An unlit room more or less
I've lied
More
Much more
Black paint under moonlight
Well
Let's forget the moon
But you see the walls still right?
How about drawing the shades
And now I've disconnected the street lights
And every other light
While we're in a mood to disconnect
There goes the rest of them
Now we're talking
Dark
I mean really dark
But I can still feel light pouring in
Spraying on my skin
Oh of course
The sun
It must go
Ah like that
That's better
Oh my God
The stars
How the absence of ours
Illuminates your beauty beyond words
And yet you must go
One by one
Until we have finally arrived
Dark
As if my eyes have been taken apart
Atom by atom
Each wrapped in vantablack
And individually deleted
Darkness that questions reality
As I float adrift
Searching for a way out of this emptiness
That I have trapped myself in
The more I yell
The less I feel
The less I love
The more I cry
And you
Even in the dark
In a blanket of black
I can still see you
For in the absence of everything
Nothing matters but you
Brandon Cotter Dec 2017
The berries harvest an electric brisk
Channeling fears
Of the roaring seas
Oh how the clouds ran that day
Beside tides of tireless wakes
Spewing from airless lungs
And of dreams
Pouring with laughter
Open toed and gay

A touch to my lips
Provokes my blood to dance
Joining hands with your heart
To the rhythm of your soul
We clasp
As a hymn of whimsical folly

Cheek to cheek
I taste you and all your wonders
Tantalizing every taste bud
Of adventures to come

As your **** latches to my gums
Surviving the swallow
Clinging to the last of our memories
I regret ever consuming you

The after taste of you lingers
Like empty vases scattered from death
Hollow of the red I once held
And the smell I followed
When lost in the dark

I will find you someday
Deep within those woods we wandered
I will pluck you from safety
And we'll plunge into chaos
The chaos of love

GREEN
Our jeans tattered from the fields of grass
                                                           ­              GREY
Soaked bags as we run off to class
                                                           ­          BROWN
Oh how intense I can stare into your eyes
                                                            ­           BLACK
As darkness blankets the churning skies
                                                           ­        YELLOW
we awake overlapped and full of love
                                                            ­          WHITE
Floating in fantasy as the symbolic dove
                                                            ­       ORANGE
Sunsets and champagne, and treats too ****
                                                            ­                RED
I gave you more than everything,
                                               I gave you my heart
