I need to write
you a love poem.
Not with
chocolates and roses.
But with firey passions
and intensity.

So intense you
Will need to sit down
as you read it.
So strong it burns
with passions you crave.
Causing your face to blush
In secret sinful thoughts.
Thoughts that slow
the time to a crawl
Before you will
share your bed
with me once more.

Words that tear
at your clothes
like an ardent lover.
Words that will
leave us as naked
as newborns.
Burning in fires
that are as
old as time itself.

You will be standing
at the edge
of a pit of flame
so dangerous we will
hold each other
in hard embrace.
So that we do not
fall into its
raging inferno.
she is seen to appear in moonlit nights
in her bridal dress and sparkling jewelry
though the sparkles may just be fireflies
and her bridal dress a will-o-wisp
silhouetted by the playful moon
smiling in broken ripples on her toe.

she stands on the pond's edge
gazing at the crested sparks of moon
fathoming the depth of the grey slime
where he once reached to lay in peace
and she followed through fireflies and ripples
leaving in the winds her echoes.
i tried so hard not to fall in love with you...
tried so hard to stay unaffected but you...
you blew in .......shook the walls of my heart,
blinded me with a light so bright, it lifted the shroud of gloom and hopelessness...
i have grown to see love lost
and to find disappointment...
i have felt love treacherous's grip....
but you touched my weary soul......
with you.... home is just another word to describe you.....
Did you know ...
That there is no one in my world besides you with whom I can spend my entire day doing whatever comes along with never a thought for anyone else
Feeling completely satisfied because we are together?

Did you know ...
That there is no one besides you whom I can talk to openly and honestly
Knowing our love will only grow and feeling a need for nothing but our conversation?

Did you know ...
That there is no one more comfortable for me than you
Whom I can enjoy silence with and never have a need to fill space between us
Because there is no space?...

Did you know ...
That no one has ever made me as happy as you have or loved me so completely
Never have I known true intimacy until we grew to where we are?

Did you know ...
That in loving you
I have experienced feelings far beyond any I could have imagined and far better than I believed possible?

one of my fave reads,to appease the mush in me :)
frustrations.....we all have em....when 3-fold applications of doubt surround my fate, words I've found they bring me peace and light.... the weight we carry lighten ...the cloud of gloom dissipated.
we all have weights......a cross to bear,
we all have our sorrows........while it varies in dimensions...the color of grief is common to us all.....

*"Be still, my soul; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain ...
Haven't you heard.... love cures all things?
It seeps into your veins,
burning through each layer
like its a second skin?
Its a once in a lifetime connection....
even rarer should you be bestowed
and granted to meet your twin flame.
Silence is comfortable,
beauty peeking through ocular view.
A vision so refined, it caught me breathless
As I stare into her eyes, i see a reflection......my soul...
*"Welcome Home" she whispered,
'Time stood still while i waited for you"
i feel that i .....i should fly....
as high as a bird in the sky,
there's a hitch, if you must query,
what goes up must surely come down,
that's the glitch , well now you know:)
a caged bird, never can sing...
dreaming of freedom ......i have clipped wings..
there is no poetry in my soul,
just strings of lies some would say....
nay! tis but a dream yet to unfold.
why do we hide....cries the heart
to protect ourselves.......whisper the soul..

#wings #dreams #hearts #soul #freedom
broken glass ,shattered dreams*
scars we try to conceal....
lies masquerading as hopes..
a raging sea of torment .....endless storms within
one side of the mirror....me, myself , i in doubt.
on the other, the man i need to be.....screaming
loud....silently.
a teardrop mask...... a reflection of who i am,
portrait of truth i cant accept.
who knows what the darkness hides.
words unsaid, a withdrawal..... do not second
guess......beneath lies a chained soul..only
love can break free.
broken glass......empty shells,whilst trying to pick
yourself...... they cut.......and you'll  bleed across
the land...
broken glass will tell you lies,
bleed your soul and blind your eyes.
beware.....like a demon on the rise...
fought against the world, knowing how fragile
broken glass can be....as fragile as glass ...
that is me....
where do i go from here, what fate is drawing
near.....in the end......i am what i am..
broken glass of whats left of me

So lovely are the constellations
when I see them in your eyes,
shapes of stories and legends
and dreams of light.

My heartbeat accelerates
at the speed of sound.

Perhaps aliens who are
zettameters,
lightyears away
can still hear this muscle
singing your name
like a magic chant.

Heaven lost a star,
and you are right here,
just barely out of my reach.

*Even in this clouded city,
I can still look at you
and see the entire galaxy
in the span of a nanosecond.
8:47 pm. he barely tells me "i love you."
8:53 pm. i tell it back to him, the sentence foreign in my mouth.
9:02 pm. he says "goodnight" and i'm left awake, redder and warmer than the coronas and solar flares of the sun.
look at what you've done to me.
