Before Then - After Now

Two people so scared to lose what they never could. By pale January daylight, not as some would think. In romantic frosted twilight, the time just seemed so right, before then.

Hearts held hands with our souls and out they went on a stroll. After...

Because of YOU!

Because you are the perfect woman in my eyes, and because you're not afraid to show it. That is why you are always in my heart and on my mind, if by chance you didn’t partake enough to know it.

Because you assert yourself, because you feel for me...

A Time To Share

I’ve come as far as I can go on my own. This is my problem, this is my story. I’ve done all I can do in my life alone, the answer is you, and my inspiration is your beauty.

From this day forward it’s you that makes me grow. You that makes me...

A 1,000 WORDS

Does this beauty inside and out you taunt me with above really exist? If so, then I would like to make my pitch!

Please come and talk to me a while, give me a chance to show you romance, to make you laugh, perhaps to smile.

I can be your best...

Melting Cancer

is your face deformed

why do they poke you

why is it that the roll of a dice
decides whether you live or die in
5 years

why does your hospital room smell like
morphine
and sweat

why is it that you want me to stay longer
and...

The Bog

Step into
reason
The quicksand
of mind
The harder
you struggle
The deeper
the slime

The deeper
the slime
The harder
you fight
The sun
further distant
Consumed
— by the night

At a Strangers Glance

Countless hours have passed unbeknownst to me as I have found myself enchanted by thine gentle eyes, lulled by the waves of your hair, smitten from a soft endearing smile.

I feel myself starved to hear your voice, per chance that all the images...

Ordered discord

Smeared In a pattern.
This Rorschach abstraction.
Flowing like satin.
In cascading fashion.

Symmetry, mimicry.
Mirroring the mind.
Coddling, throttling.
Either or is fine.

Full to bursting.
Ache encephalitis.
In many minds of how this...

Assets Ascension

For the love of money can affection be created, for a Maserati life can your childhood dreams be abated?

A world of fortune and powerful gifts, does the Genie’s lamp and all three wishes set fire to an ice-cold bed?

Yes it’s true, my means...

Inhale

Close your beautiful eyes.
Then slowly inhale,
The touch on your lips.
Felt to feel the love of my kiss.
Not to exhale a moment like this.
Kept to keep inside your heart.
And mine.
Forever to feel,
Left as breathless to miss...
Again and...

To St Augustine

"The greatest evil is physical pain."
I beg to differ with you there.
Mental pain and agony
Go beyond what eyes can see.
The greatest evil, I contend,
Is a storm-tossed soul, suspended in space.
Without love's touch no wounds can mend.

A Romantic Notion

Two people whom come from different lands, cultures and language. Between them there is an unspeakable passionate love. An attraction so strong, that they overcome these obstacles to be united.

The sincerity of their sentiment for each other...

ANY 1 DAY NOW!

Someone to care for, who will care for me.
A hand to hold, eyes to gaze into ones soul.
A smile that breaks me into sweat, a laugh and hug that will make me forget, all the wrong in this world.

In my mind I vaguely see, a vision of the girl...
