The time I had with you, my Love, Shall ever be with me. You changed my life for the better; Grateful I am for that. Our parting was a shock to me, But, I do understand. The future right now is unclear; My thoughts linger with you. Will you, will I, find another? None who can replace "us". "Time heals all things," you said to me. Perhaps.
Jessica’s perfect form hung just inches from the floor at the slightest of angles, facing the skylight of his loft. Her back was gracefully arched, arms drawn back and down. Her inner wrists were joined behind her, two fists kissing each other, thumb lying beside thumb, and a series of well-spaced, ornate knots linked them to her secured ankles. One set of ropes supported her upper back, gathered above and beneath her bre...
You sit across the tableNot looking at my handWhich rests upon formicaRevealing upturned palm Sweated glass of waterDrip-stained coffee cupsCongealed fat drops on a dishWitness us discuss our love Your words amid the clatterOf cheap silverware and platesFall in with that backgroundIn an undistinguished way I see you catch the server's eyeA check in tray arrivesYou reach into a pocketYour lips form in a smile You answer yo...
Gentle archesReddish brown Traced alongThe barest sound As my fingerStrokes your brow Each touch lends strengthTo hope struck down Waxy finishWiry feel You close your eyesAs I set free The wearinessThat chafes your soul A heart so fullIt overflows Then bleeds its lifeFilled, drained, by turns With each fresh joyAnd each fresh hurt Tumbled mixElation, doubt Some days such grayThen sun bursts out And at each turnI stroke yo...
His smile infectious and captivating Women swooned over by his charm His radiance as bright as the sun He is the heartthrob of the moment A girl as bright as the moon Ignorant of his fame Fell hard for him She has no escape Her life got a new meaning All she wanted was his love But he got carried away Left her, blaming his insecurity She let him go, hiding her tears Her heart broken, never to recover All she wanted was h...
Beyond the timeWe should have ended Braced through trialsWe should have lost Betrayed by thoseWe’ve since unfriended BenefitsVersus the costs Reaching outWhere understanding Doesn’t seemWhat we will find Surprised that weHave stayed together Unlike in lifeUnlike in mind Long sufferingWe perfect our demons Train them to bayOutside for show Yet past the houndsSomething propels us Though scarierThe more we know.
One day afterYou had leftMy mind still blackAnd blueI stood beneath the shower sprayErasing thoughts of you Circling now Just waitingTo try to slip back in Block itStop itMake it drownAgainAgainAgain The stall is thickWith shampoo steamFragrant cloying heat My stomach twistsWith fresh disgustI pull in air to breathe The tile is warmI feel the groutRoughness on my back Steady beating On my headGuards against attack Drummin...
We tried to talkBut couldn'tWe were each too hurtAnd scaredAnd surprisedAnd desperate to get backWhat we once had That connectionThere was a connectionWasn't there?

At some point she stopped listeningWhen he would talk to her Displaying a delightful smileThrough boredom thick as tar Wondering how she got hereBecome the walking dead Catching just the tail endAnd so she’d nod her head Feigning her compassionPlanning what’s for lunch Playing with her earringsGlancing at her watch Inserting mental earbudsBlocking out his voice Punching channel buttonsReplacing him with noise Sometimes sh...
You chased it awayBut it’s back You smothered its breathIt just laughed You headed to sea in a boatBut tossed overboard, saw it float You burned it alive but it roseYou buried it deep, but it grows You prayed for reliefNo avail You reasoned and pleadKeened and wailed What is this thing that won’t leave?Why can you get no relief? The reason there’s no place to hide?You can’t run from what is inside It will fight you until...
"I feel so nervous," Megan whispered, looking out the window of the plane as it began to descend. She glanced over at Elijah, who smiled at her reassuringly."You have nothing to be nervous about, it's going to be an amazing summer." He reached over and squeezed her thigh gently, leaning over to brush his lips against hers. "Trust me, everyone will love you and you will love the villa. Nobody can resist it's power." He lau...
