The Fall
Scarlet hair blowing in an autumn wind,Fire red as the leaves that cascade down from the trees,As emerald green eyes lovingly stare deep into my heart,And a sweet warm kiss obliterates my fears,I have a sense of purpose and feel at home.
Skin
Nothing was certain, nothing was sure,Except your promise of enjoying more,Of our times it kept to us close,I trusted you the very most,A sheepish smile as you turned away,And looking forward to another day,Kept it slow no need to rush,I loved the fact I’d make you blush,I hadn’t felt like this in so very long,You … Continue reading Skin
Palm Reader
I walk along in the winters moonlight awaiting my lovers hand, Silly little imperfections in the patterns and swirls of her palm lines, Love is like that; imperfect, chaotic, and often unintelligible.
Warmth in the Cold
I keep stealing glances at you as we move through the night,Your beauty is illuminated by incandescent moonlight,As we stroll down through a busy winter street,I marvel at the randomness of how we did meet,During a warm summer day down by a dock,To a moment like now while our arms interlock,How can such closeness happen … Continue reading Warmth in the Cold
Bed of Thorns

Silent Suffering
She waits in silence, for the one who knows her, Endlessly waiting, it seems like for ever, Tears, shed like rain drops, have left trails like rivers, Right down her smooth skin, as she sits and shivers, Crossed her heart which will not die, Regardless of the ones that have passed her by, She moves … Continue reading Silent Suffering
Eternity
I just want a touch, a scent, a taste of your essence, So close and warm standing in your presence, But I'm afraid you don't even know that I exist, And if you did then everything about me you would resist, A touch, a taste, the look in your eyes, Why are these the things … Continue reading Eternity
The Deceiver
Betrayal can break a heart into a thousand shards, But a relationship based on lies breaks it down even more, I used to think you were all that was right in the world, But it turned out you were the deceiver that cut me to my core.
