Such are the days,

When lovers love,

Enveloping two souls into one,

Entwining twin heartbeats as one,

Tantalizing each other with life’s moments.

Willingly, wantonly, willfully,

Hoping the moment carries over to decades,

Incessant with the idea of beyond forever,

Suppressing nothing, urging for everything,

Praying for that singular moment in time,

Envisioning more than just a love for all time,

Rather a love beyond the reach of infinity,

Surpassing all before us, I give my life for your happiness.

***************

This is the same poem, only in reverse order.

Surpassing all before us, I give my life for your happiness.

Rather a love beyond the reach of infinity,

Envisioning more than just a love for all time,

Praying for that singular moment in time,

Suppressing nothing, urging for everything,

Incessant with the idea of beyond forever,

Hoping the moment carries over to decades,

Willingly, wantonly, willfully,

Tantalizing each other with life’s moments,

Entwining twin heartbeats as one,

Enveloping two souls into one,

When lovers love;

Such are the days.

sweet

like the dark of the souls

that draw me in as

sweet

dreams i whisper through

clenched teeth but

sweet

eyes cut into me with

their blinding glare and

sweet

blinks slowly fading

into hazy half-lidded

sweet

lashes curled on rosy

cheeks quiet and just as

sweet

as the day we first stumbled

across each other on that

sweet

road winding and broken

and cracked with bruises

sweet

like candies on my skin

and hiding under my

sweet

smile that i gifted just

as free as any of your

sweet

meaningless words only

meant to rip my heart into

sweet

shards to fall and tumble

across the sky just like

sweet

whispers scattered as far

as stars on a cloudless night

I feel warm as you pull me closer to you,

Your arms wrapped around my waist

And held me tight.

You smell like almond and vanilla,

Comforting and calming.

All I want is you.

I crave your body near to me,

And long for your kisses against my skin,

Like melted chocolate on my lips.

It creates a million butterflies

That I can’t seem to swallow.

You tell me in sweet whispers

That I made you believe in love again,

And the words that leave my mouth are always true.

“And I believe in you.”

We’re both trying to get through this darkness,

Looking at each other as if we were ships in the night,

Trying to avoid the rocky shore.

You make me a believer

in love.

Fingers begin to slowly move around the left side of her face—

She twitches, eyes squeezed tightly in irritation-

‘Ah!’ She exclaims. Then smiles as she hears the voice in a hushed tone.

A voice that reminds her of the taste of honey, a golden syrup like sound. Huh, this voice she’s heard before.

She gradually makes her way out of bed.

Again, the voice speaks in a hushed tone. She can not stop herself from taking hold of a blade.

The blade is in one hand which nearly reaches her chest. Another voice cries out like an explosion, telling her to stop what she’s about to do.

Her hands tremble. She lets the blade drop to the floor with a clang.

Tears stream down her face. It’s not easy for her to shut out the voices. She would have to try to do so, & harder next time.

tiptoe

through the meadow

so as not to miss

the sweet whispers

of the sycamores,

the hushed melody

of the maples

wait,

be still;

for even the

dandelions dance

for the wary eye,

the curious soul,

the estival Dreamer

the wind the ocean the trees

listen to the whispers

hear the buzzing bees?

Gaia is hurting

poison destruction chaos

everywhere

listen to her cries

gloom & despair

Athena

Sure I’ve never met you

And you’ve never seen my face

But I’ve been standing through this strom for too long

I want you to save me

I sit and cry each night

I fake a smile each day

I stare off into the endless abyss

Waiting to be saved by someone

Who does not exist

Sweet whispers came with the rain.

Slight moisture in the morning. Over pastures it began forming.

Playing the same tune for all to hear.

Fear was first.

Warmth was far. Cold was near.

The wind is here.

your sweet whispers silence

my sour thoughts

as i savor your

candied words

i realize

that i am no longer alone

in this bitter world
