LOVE HER LIKE

Love her like

She's the raging sea,

Unrestrained and dark and deep.

And you crave her touch

Through aching pores

As you slowly drown in sleep.

Love her like

She's the tender storm,

A lovely shade of grey.

Like with every whiff

Of breath she takes,

She's taking yours away.

Love her like

She's the silent clouds

With calmness floating by.

Like you'd want to make

Sweet love to her

Under the moon's apocalyptic eye.

Love her like

She's the blazing fire,

And you lust the candied pain.

Like she's the disease

That swallowed you whole

And you'd like to die again.

When her gentle touch

Makes your chest explode,

And your addiction is your girl.

Promise you'll love her

Through hell and back,

Or don't you dare love her at all.

SEPTEMBER SERVINGS

THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN

The beauty of a woman

is in the poems she wrote,

the dreams she's weaved,

and all the stories she's told.

The beauty of a woman

is in the adventures she's taken,

the lives she's touched

and all the minds she's awakened.

The beauty of a woman

is in the caring she gives,

the sincerity in her laughter,

and the passion in her griefs.

It's not the expensive clothes she owns,

her body size, the diamonds she's worn.

Measure not the beauty of woman in gold,

for the beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul.

..........

ECHOES OF SILENCE

Shattered china on the floor,

lots of slamming of the door.

You grab my hair, I break apart.

I shoot an arrow through your heart.

You pin my body on the wall,

my knees give up, you break my fall.

We hit each other where hurts the most,

I am your demon, you are my ghost.

We grip and pull and scratch and cry,

I love you boy, but that's a lie.

You smoke the pain and burn my skin,

we forget the hurt and again begin.

We've carved the wounds, we've done the harms,

you embrace me in your tired arms.

Though hopeless love, we've made the choice.

At last we seek each other's voice.

In the Echoes of Silence.

..........

PART OF YOU

I'm afraid

that one of these days,

the last petal will fall

and the wind will carry away

the sweetness of your laughter,

the softness of your kiss

and the fondness of our memories.

I'm afraid

that one of these days,

you'll forget me

and just like that,

I'll cease to exist.

..........

REBIRTH

Meet me at the horizon

where the sky meets the earth.

Two bodies burning with the sun,

One eternal love rebirth.

AUGUST SERVINGS

WE WILL FLY

We are standing on the edge,

with nothingness till far below.

But don't you fear,

my dear.

Hold my hand tight,

take a deep breath,

lit that soul on fire.

and take a leap.

Because people,

we will fly.

..........

MY WORLD

Some days,

you mean the world to me,

I don't lie.

Some days,

I see the world in your eyes.

Some days,

you are my world.

..........

I'LL BE GONE

One of these days,

like the dewdrop on a sunny day,

like a shimmer in a moonlight ray,

like our love that has been fading away,

I'll be gone,

forever.

..........

LOVE STORY

As I turned the last page,

I found myself broken

for it was time to bid goodbye

to our love story.

You saw the emptiness in my eyes,

and wrote another book.

..........

HER

For her, love was a lot of things,

his hair, his eyes,

his smile, his voice,

his breath, his touch..

For him, love was but one thing.

HER.

..........

A GAME

"Here is my heart and soul," she said.

Out on the cold table she laid

her all. He whispered, "I'll place your needs above

all mine." Little did she know he lied.

He played a little and tossed it aside.

Yet somehow, she still believes in love.
