This monster you see, is not within, Your selflessness seen by many, such a precious gift, Caring, considerate, and genuine you are, My comfort, my despair, my souls resting-place.
No longer to walk alone, to search for what's lost, Your rock I will be, your one hiding place, My heart you have captured, my admiration and awe, With beauty within that matches what's out.
Dark past you might have, does not compare, To the gift you've become, so precious, so rare. Cold hearted you're not, but impassioned with desire, Great happiness you bring, to this one that's so tired.
I sit and write, my feelings explored, Pen and paper my tongue and mind, They keep talking, even when no one listens, The unseen words and sounds never heard.
Silence I cannot keep, Too foreign an idea, Speak I must, If only for the silent doves.
Why do I dance with the fire Court it like a Romeo his Juliet, Together we step, fine lines and intricacies, My skin slowly burning.
The dance comes to an end, And my breath gasps, 'The End' stands before me, flickering in the light, My time is over.
Once more the music starts, my body held aloft, Unto these delicate steps I go again, Knowing the cycle it will follow, Knowing ultimately the dance will end and I will lose.
Burned and bereft, lost in the embers, Renewed and torn asunder in the same breath, Like a phoenix rising from the desolation, To find a new partner, to dance a new dance with the flame.
Like a rock in troubled times, Source of relief, tenderness and love, Guiding light and a helpful hand, Reluctant hero, protector of my heart.
Friendship always there, though badly treated at times, With frustration she keeps me, out of the kindness of her soul, Never asking for anything, always hoping in the future, Her chance she quietly waits for, to show this love to this foolish heart.
Never knowing if that time will come, But holding fast to her dream, Her faith as constant as the day and night, I'm amazed by her love.
To you I bear my soul, To you I gave my heart, You took all I had to offer, You crushed my world with a single word, no.
I gave you my love, And I gave you my life, You left me standing there, Alone in the world.
No longer seeing your face, No longer to feel your touch, You left me standing there, Alone to face the world.
We shared our lives, Our joys and sorrows, Our dreams and our passions, But you chose to leave, to leave me standing there.
My heart aches, My brain screams, My body's pain, Drives me further on.
No pill can relieve me, There is not magic cure, A life cursed I live To wander forever more.
My feet lead where I must follow, My body its captive controlled, Mind begging for forgiveness, From crimes too many to be told.
Brick walls I've broken, Mountains I have climbed, Rivers, lakes and oceans have been forded, But my heart still remains alone.
My greatest source of inspiration, And the seed of my discomfort, Both pleasure and pain you bring, I'm no more than a moth, drawn to your flame.
Helpless in your arms, Surrendered my body and my soul, Fearing my vulnerability, Embracing my hopes and dreams.
Scared of the power you wield so easily over me, But unable to fight against my own nature, Praying that I won't be hurt again, yet anticipating the blow, My faith once again questioned, only you hold the answer.
Final partings bittersweet, Last words spoken, memories securing, Soft and gentle, is how we should be, Not angry with each other.
Forgiving all mistakes, The love still there, It calls to me, haunting, Timing not right, praying for a second chance,
Another time, another place. We'll meet again, this I know, You have my heart and soul, Forever I'll dream of you, and the love we nearly lost.
But part we will, this we must, each to tend our lives, To make choices, To create the lives we will lead, Forever remembering the greatest love.
My mind so hurt and angry, Sleep eludes me because of your crime, You stole my sanity like you steal A flower from the neighbors garden.
A rare day it is when you're not in my head, Your words and actions so fresh it's a living hell, Even if I should find some solace, without you there, The mere mention of you turns my life upside down.
So full of hate, I despise you so much, You make me hurt, you made me into this monster, One who knows no peace, who knows no life, You took that from me! I hope you rot in hell!
I dream of her touch, Its sweetness and infinite kindness, The ability to arouse me with its simplicity, Or to calm me even in distress.
I dream of her face, With eyes so deep they cannot be fathomed, I see them lidded and darkened with desire, Foggy in the morning mist, now freshly woken.
I dream of her, The one who knows so little, yet wants to learn so much, A figment of my imagination who stepped into reality, Who captured my interest, my friendship, and my deepest adoration.
Days are passing by, Year slowly drawing to an end, Lessons learned, not all taught in class, Now to graduate, this level having been passed.
Long hot summer, slowly coming nearer, Days of leisure, to be spent in Elysia, Nights filled with happy friends, Wine, women and song, all to be enjoyed.
Mirth and joy to be our constant companions, No worries need be mine, To forget stresses of the year, Now to focus on the present, and revel in the holidays.
Skies so blue and clear, Air fresh, so eager to fill my lungs, Different textures caress my hands and mouth, All is soothing as they touch my soul.
New sights and sounds, Do thrill me, Familiar comforts envelop thee, Both day and night surround me.
Fruits so sweet and soft, Ripe juices quench mine thirst, My hunger slowly sated, Contentment quells my lust.
Tender voice to my ear calls, Sighs of happiness do stir me, Peacefulness does call, My destiny fulfilled.
