my thoughts are not alone

they form a cloud with single breath

they climb high

and softly blow ...

my thoughts are not alone

they bind to the thread

that travels under the water

drops ringing like a bell ...

thoughts are not alone

they are warm and breathe with the sun

quietly falling like a feather

silently...

Like a skydiver whose

parachute failed to open

or an astronaut whose

rocket never made

it into space,

my dreams had been

painfully broken

and a tragic ending

was mine to embrace.

At that moment not one

single word was spoken

nor did any tears of despair

stream down my face.

I took with me only

rejection as a token

and for days stared

disconsolately at the

rose she refused to take.

There's wire in the blood, and that is why the copper taste

It's an elemental flood, with not a drop to go to waste

Veins will turn to rust if they're not bled from time to time

Grains of burning dust are what I'm fed for my one crime

I'll drink until I'm done, and then I'll simply walk away

I'll sink before the sun; for I've no doings with the day

Don't judge my predilection, for I cannot give it back

It wasn't my selection; I am just as one with black

There's excitement in the chase, and the capture brings the thrill

An indictment's taking place; charge my rapture with the kill

Know me by my shade, and by the scent of my cologne

It's just a dark charade, and one I'm doomed to play alone

Don't bother looking deep; for you will never understand

Pray in light I sleep, because I know you'd taste so grand

Live and let monsters live; for to wish our paths to cross

Burns the wire in the blood, with the sheen of scarlets' gloss...

Skin of Caramel ,Charm of honey

Draped in silk, she seemed bonny.

Few teasing winks, ageing on shrink

Living her life on joyous brink

She was engulfed with a delicious fate

As she was one of the sweetest chocolate!!!

If you're sick

Of pizza,

I'll make us

Something else.

If you want

To be alone,

I'll lock all

Of the doors.

We'll turn on

My TV and

Pretend the 

World away.

I don't care

If people doubt

That I'm 

Falling in love

With you.

All that matters

Is your hand

In mine,

And the smile

That makes me

Forget my pain.

Once there was a girl

    Who had a crush on a boy

        Who had a happy little pup

    Who liked to chase the cat

Who just liked to nap

     but was awakened by the mouse

        Who liked to run through the house

    And frighten the mom

Who really loved the dad

     Who liked to fish with his boy

          Who had a crush on a girl...

With autumn, I'm a quiet thing, 

the skirt of fog trailing as

engines whine alive. Go find me

among the grinning burs, restless 

with some tale of me; in 

cyclones of dust; my kiss 

on every balmy blade of grass and 

blushing leaf. 

One day, I will shake the bones out of these trees. 

I know that you want more from me.

But today I watch the red sun 

between seams of rain clouds, curled 

up in some spot of warmth, a 

quiet thing with autumn - let me sleep. 

I like the way he's looking at me,

His blue eyes are alight with desire...

He likes to push every boundary I set,

We like burning, and playing with fire...

He pursues,

I run,

I duck and I cover,

Then I look back, is he giving chase?

With a satisfied grin, I take off again;

'Til he catches me in his embrace.

For just a few minutes or a few months,

We're in love, we're head over heels.

Then he starts to panic, then I get manic;

And we're running again from the feels.

This time it's him, he's running so fast;

I run after like a bat out of hell.

All the while knowing I'm acting a fool,

Slim chance for this love to end well.

"Darling, come back!" I'm calling his name.

Who needs pride? I'm not above pleading.

I show him my tears, he exploits my fears,

He says, "God, you're gorgeous when you're bleeding."

I remind him he swore to be my rock.

I remind him of the promises he made.

Tricks I was taught, lies that I bought,

I'll say whatever it takes to persuade.

Until I'm exhausted, I'm out of breath;

I'm slowing, I can't run anymore.

He's so far beyond,

he's missing,

he's gone.

But all's fair in both love and war.

Looking over his shoulder, so far ahead;

He can see I've fallen too far behind.

And now he's unsure, like me, insecure;

He's worried that I changed my mind.

"What are you doing?" He yells from afar.

I'm stomping away in a huff.

"I'm sick of your shit!" I let him have it.

Our love hurts, and I've had enough.

I'm finished with us, I'm done with him.

I take off in a whole new direction.

"Babes, come back!" He's calling my name.

He never learned to handle rejection.

I refuse to look back, I keep pressing on,

He deserves to feel just how it hurts.

Our love is twisted, it's broken like us;

Maybe this pain is our just deserts.

He's in pursuit, I'm running away;

I glance back and blow him a kiss.

He's drawing near, he's almost here,

I let him catch me, I can't resist.

He grabs my waist, pulls me in close,

A magic moment, until the moment is gone.

Then he's running away, I'm ready to play;

It's my turn to give chase. Game on!
