under pale moonlight
she leaves roses in her wake
demons dance in midnights hour
as gentle hearts must break
my queen of the underworld
i wait patient by your throne
and to say that i won’t love you
is the sweetest lie i’ve known

~

~

that is what keeps me
awake almost every single night
not the moments i felt weakest
not the times i hurt most
but the feeling of losing you
because i was lost in myself

~

~

every night in my mind
i walk the bridge of time
a world between our own
to place roses on your throne
i hang my head in shame
accepting of the blame
i remember the regret
just so i never will forget

~

~

to look out into that
endless ocean of stars
is to look deep into ones self
you are the eyes in which
the stars use to gaze back at their glory
you are an aperture of the universe
looking deep out into the darkness
to witness it’s own magnificence

~

~

beneath an autumn sky
my heart calls on yours
in midnight desperation
i ache for your touch
nights of wine and worship
still linger on my tongue
like a phantom you walk my mind
every moment i’m alone

~

~

pick yourself up
and carry on
no matter the storms
that lie in wait ahead
carry on you must
far in the distance
against all judgement
skies are clearing
seas are calming
and the pursuit of happiness
is always worth fighting for


~

~

she was all that
i had ever wanted
to be closer to her
just like icarus
blinded by desire
and without knowing
i had flown too close to the sun
the love i once thought
could save me
had burned my wings
and left me drowning at sea
gasping for air
as the waves pull me under
it was worth it all
for that moment in time
i was closest to you


~

~

there is no greater romance
than a love through words
that pour from the soul
staining endless pages in ink
there is no greater romance
than the souls cheated by time
yet stay afloat through the memories
when their hearts start to sink

~

~

there are nights
most nights in fact
when i feel truly alone
in this existence
completely and utterly
disconnected to everything
and everyone else around me
on nights like these
i stare at the stars
and they remind me of you
sometimes, just sometimes
i wonder if you feel the same
and when you gaze out
into a midnight sky
do i still cross your mind

~

~

the smell of your hair
like a field of a million sunflowers
the touch of your skin
like mulberry silk
your lips pressed against mine
lightning crashed upon waves
honey poured from your mouth
in those nights we got lost
beneath the sheets of your bed

~

~

the hardest part
about missing someone
is not in the memories
you carry closest
but the ones
you had no idea
you’d miss so much

~

~

beneath a midnight sky
she took his hand in hers
placed her head upon his chest
and with a whisper she and asked;
“will you love me forever..?”
her head racing
her heart hanging in limbo
she waited in silence.
gently running his hands
through her hair
he pointed her eyes towards the heavens
“just as the stars continue to shine,
and display their beauty
even long after they are gone
i will love you, just the same
each and every night
forevermore
and long after i am gone

~

her skin, scented in sage and witchcraft
moonlight spilled across her naked body
the air, screaming out with our filthy sins
you will forever be my sweetest hallelujah

~

our love lost among starlight
frozen beneath waves i lay covered
with nothing but memories of your magic  
my dearly beloved

~

~

what is love but the act
of complete surrender
to hand oneself
over so willingly
in the most beautiful
and purest form of faith
to abandon reason
to trust in madness
within that uncertainty
dwells true happiness

~

~

every single night she meets me in secret
under darkened sky she gazes down
we talk about how lonely we are;
me, among seven billion people
and her amongst the infinite universe

~

~

her beauty is overwhelming
like watching the most perfect
thunder and lighting storm
she demands my attention
and i cannot help
but gaze in sheer wonder

~

~

and so i had fallen
in love with her
just as one falls asleep
without knowing
gently, effortlessly
and all at once


~

~

timeless she stood
bathing in the moonlight
the hands of time
long forgotten their duty
her eyes locked with mine
in a wondrous dance
through the stars
her light shinning brighter
than ten thousand suns
she was all i could see
even without looking

~

~

there is nothing more tragic
than the souls falling in love
simply at the wrong time

~

~

i am terrified to lose
a love so sacred
we hid it from the world
a love so mysterious
we hid it from ourselves

~

~

the hardest part
was admitting;
not that i had
loved you once
and it was lost
but that i had
loved you once
and never stopped

~

~

this bed is cold
and lonely without you
in darkness i lay still, silent
the little space beside my shoulder
that you made your own
now empty, forgotten
counting cracks on the ceiling
terrified that you’ll forget me
i sink my teeth into the pillow
screaming to the god
i don’t believe in
a symphony of pain
pouring from my lungs
a sonata of sadness
rains from my eyes
drowning in myself
pleading to the universe
to bring you back to me
even as a shadow on the wall
or a memory in a dream

~

~

if my mind
was the universe
thoughts of you
would be the
stars that fill it
endless
countless
beyond measure

~

to allow her to love you
with a love that endures
first trust in her heart
and trust her with yours
pave way for her dreams
sit not on her throne
carry all of her fears
as if they are your own
allow her to grow
to question desire
nurse all of her embers
til she burns like wildfire
touch not her body
until you awaken her mind
she will give you her soul
and all of her time

a burning love
by darkened night
her velvet skin
was set alight
in sweat and blood
a primal lust
an ancient love
made just for us
our bodies bound
by space and time
my heart you held
no longer mine

~

the heavens opened
lightning crashing
though blackness
rain pouring, torrent
thunder echoed eternal
the sky crying out in anger
the universe in mourning
at the parting of our love

~

~

ink filled pages of my mind
still longing to be read
a song our hearts once sung together
still stuck in my head
these nights now just get harder
two souls longing too become one
like the moon i wait patient
for morning to return
in the darkness my body craves it
the gentle lullaby you moan
the electricity from your fingers
that sets fire to my bones
these thoughts haunt me now like demons
i am plagued by your ghost
and all our hidden little moments
are the ones i miss the most

~

~

give love even to those
that deserve it least
i promise you;
they need it the most

~

~

perhaps foolish our hearts
for thinking we could
hold onto this forever
like castles made of sand
we once stood so beautifully
frozen in time, side by side
together as we gazed out
in awe at the waves
as they washed us away

~

~

her beauty is the novel
that no words can describe
her beauty is the moonlight
the stars could never find
her beauty makes us equal
from sinner to a saint
her beauty is the sunset
van gogh could never paint

~

~

i struggle to define
exactly what
you mean to me
these eyes
have gazed upon
an ocean of faces
in this world
but still yours,
the only one i see
eyes that gaze
deep into my glare
cut me to the core
but god no longer cares
to hear my voice
laying passed out
on the floor
my head at war
with my heart
i simply cannot
understand
why a love
as real as ours
is left forgotten
in the sand
i walk this shore
an endless loop
in the hope
that i will find
just one more
moment
to feel your
love again
even if its
in my mind

~

~

thank you for the dance
our hearts have loved
and loved, unshaken
behind each stolen smile
they both were breaking
we sought comfort in each other
a place to feel safely insane
a world away from everyone else
a world away from our pain
without you, minutes feel like hours
days don’t even feel real
the love that cuts us without warning
is the one that the never heals  
i hope our hearts may
find each other once again
so that i finally have the chance
to tell you, that mines
has never stopped loving you
thank you for the dance

~

~

foolish are the brave
faithless are the lost
but hopeless is he;
who can love only himself

~

~

moonlight spilling from her eyes
magic pouring from her lips
the universe in audience of her beauty
even the stars would weep with envy

~

~

her lips pressed against my lips
like honey soaked confetti
her fingers cut me open with such beauty
like a daffodil machete

~

~

i once believed we would
go on together forever
i once dreamed we
would sit side by side
gazing out into the blackness
as we watched each star
hanging in the night sky
go out one by one
our love outlasting their light
our love transcending time
i thought nothing could
pull you from me
that the laws of nature
would bend only for us
but my ignorant mind
and my foolish heart
lead me to believe
i could have you forever

~

~

sadness is a quicksand
the more you wrestle within it
the more you allow it
to imprison you

~

~

on nights like this;
lost under the blackness
of an autumn sky
the sanguine moon
she proudly hangs high
suspended in darkness
i feel her gaze down
each star seems less wonderful
when your not around
on nights like this;
my body aches for your fingers
my lips burn for your touch
one more night of sacred worship
lost in your church
if only i had known;
the world would feel this empty
time would pass this slow
i’d give anything to go back
just too never let go

~

~

like surrendering to the ocean
floating carelessly, weightless
lost deep within her waves
i am terrified; and yet at peace
loving you feels much the same
the more i fight these feelings
the more i struggle amidst this storm  
the more i drown in my lungs
and you pull me under
but to be lost in your waters
submerged beneath your waves
and drowning in you
is the sweetest hallelujah
i have ever known

~

~


candle light burning gentle
the flames dancing so free
illuminating the water
a reflection of me
i gaze into it’s glow
i am lost in it’s gleam
lost deep in that water
the person i used to be


~

~


i am no better
i am no worse
i try improve how i am
to improve who i am
from the experience
of who i was


~

~


the most tragic pain in love
steams right from the root
when our hearts can crave only
the most forbidden of fruit
the most tragic pain in love
is the flame that won't die
all we long to possess
that money can't buy
the most tragic pain in love
is the pain we are taught
when our hearts try to forget
what cannot be forgot


~

~

it was in those moments
between each stolen kiss
in that deafening silence
with starlight pouring
from your lips
i felt planets collide
universes bending
into one another
our love was never
bound for this world
our love something
else completely
as ancient as the stars
transcending even time her self
something else entirely my love
something extraterrestrial

~
