I'm Leaving You

A year or so ago,

if you would like to know;

a thief, she stole my heart.

Then left me all alone.

 

If I gave her the blame,

well, that'd be a shame.

I could call myself a thief, too.

Just not in the same way.

 

You see, a thief never returns.

But me? Her heart was always hers.

She stole mine then made the escape,

with mine, hers, and her final words.

His kiss

My perfect kiss.

So perfect and tender, as soft as a warms sea breeze on a hot evening in  Valencia. It powdered through my mouth and nourished deep inside my soul. Lips so beautifully plump and with a life of new pinkness, so pure and delicate. The sensation of feeling them press gently overlapping onto mine, lushly moist and tasteful. The desire and profound energy that exerted through my bod...

Coat of Armor

I wear a coat of armor

A full-body suit to protect my inner self

A shield against the outside world

But, every once in a while I forget a piece

And when I do it's the most important one

So, if you see me and I'm not put together

Please be gentle and approach with care

For you see, when I do forget a piece

It's always my heart that shows.

The Heart

With its every pulse, throb and beat -
This is one beast of a machine
 
It's the soul's companion;
the core of our feelings
 
It can be as hard as stone,
or weak enough to be broken
 
It can be soft, warm.
Big.  Kind.  Heavy.  Light
 
It rends, burns and bleeds
Yearns, faints and aches
 
It can give a home to land
and be a place to search for answers
 
It can ...

heart

How do I say it?

20 years to see
The world encompass all.
Its' messiness unbearable,
Intolerable,
Difficult.
But when I caught your voice,
Its' sweetness a dulling touch.
The world and its' massive wildness,
Disappeared all to dust.
