When you cryI'll be your shoulder and kiss your tears away,When your hurtI'll take your pain away. I'm your friend at your side. When you feel lostI'll find the way out for you,When you feel the darkness closing inJust reach out your hand,I'll be your light at the end. I'm your sunlight in the sky. When despair moves into your heartI'll replace it with my love,When the river is to wideI'll safely carry you across,Because...
A night journey home, tall flickering lightshines bright through the night fog. Guide us through the remnants of once majestic vessels;broken and laced across the shallows,as if a reef.Love destroyed long ago. Torn apart and smashed into 1000 shards of Suspicion, Resentment, Lies, and Whores. A reef of grief. Each sunken barbed fragment, a shard of once whole Love, shimmers under sun-jewelled water. A guise for real treas...
For years now I've been in love with my best friend's kid sister. It all started after she turned seventeen. It was as if a brand new shiny light shined on her. It isn't like she started acting differently, or dressing differently, I simply saw her in a way I hadn't before. Her laugh seemed sweeter, her voice like a songbird. Her brown sugar skin almost like caramel, it looked smooth as silk. It made me want to run my lip...
I thought I needed more. But what I lost, Was ten times greater. I thought that his needs, Would be worth the risk. My need was nothing, I learned, Compared to my despair. Thought I had conquered acceptance. But my heart is finding, I have no clue what it means. The depth of this pain, Has taken me to my knees. This throbbing emptiness. Worse than any I have ever known. The agony of this terrible ache, Will destroy my he...
Once again awake,Disturbed from fitful slumber.Images, visions, near memoriesOf something thought dead.Something that never really was.A ghost.I'm haunted by my own desireFor something impossible;Like dragon's blood and fairy dust,Something beyond this world.A fantasy.I toss and turnAnd the ceiling shadows change.Lightening, brightening,As the hours play witness to my coveting.A craving.Until with a sigh, I relent.Eyes cl...
This poem only available on Lush Stories. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Lost where ice-bright stars are flung,Where roiling incense spices night,Where wraiths are mist around the throat,' Tis here where tears burn.In velvet silence humming,Sigh of gentle rumbling smileThat cross'd the gulf between us, stretch'd,Returns now, leaves me cold.Ache of inner, whispers night,Desire and yearning yet unmet;St...
It's all my fault. No matter how much I blame the GPS it was still my mistake. Trusting technology over common sense got us into this situation. Damn! I can call it a situation, but it's more serious than that would ever convey. We're lost. Stranded and freezing. We could soon die, if we don't do something. If I don't do something. It's all my fault. The sandy surface of the California shore was burning our bare feet as w...
I felt so safe and secure When I was with you. I poured all my pain to you And you listened in earnest You held me in your arms And told me its okay That I had you, you were there to stay My heart burst with my love And my worries were forgotten At least for the time being. But the hours spent with you, Were magical, to say the least I thought we had something Especially when you held my hand Did you not feel it too? O...
Skin intact, until I met you A heart to match, and then I let you Shot through the sky with the force of a rocket Always by your side, in your ear, or your pocket You reached for my hand, but instead grabbed my soul With each day that passed, you tightened your hold Never thought I would love you, never thought I would blush Never thought I'd lose you, and it'd hurt me this much What any man was, my Ivory God was much mor...
I sit here and wonder what mood you'll be in today, It's exhausting trying to figure it out. Will it be a happy day? Or will it be gray?I try to be happy and not pout. I always feel so tense and always on defense,I give all myself to you.Of course, this is just my two cents,There is always two sides, but this is my view. A relationship that blossoms and grows,I love you with all my heart.Is this enough? I don't know,Somet...
Hidden in the dark,unsure where to go. You said that you would love me forever, until the end. Now the end has come and you are gone, gone somewhere that I cannot find. You left me, left me far behind. My heart is broken, my mind is shattered. You left me for your new love and I am, hidden in the dark, unsure where to go. I need your love, I need your touch. Forever, until the end. I needed you to be my light, to keep me...
I miss you. Like a solar-powered dancing flower misses the sunlight. What else can that poor flower do except dance?I miss you like a wind-chime as still as a coma, waiting for a late summer breeze to awaken it from its trance. I miss you Like a printer misses the ink cartridge which dried up, and was never replaced. What can a poor printer do if not print?I miss you like a dormant lighter tucked away in a drawer, misses...
Icy wind running in chilled veins,fire and passion on our breathless tongues, we face, in mirrored gaze. Admiration and trust turned by time to frustration and lust, a passion of crime. “Time will tell,” they say. Time spent well. Today, tonight, lost deep in beauty, lost again in her scent, her soul, in mind and corematched together, lashed together in friendship,nothing more. Sweet, rich wines, California red and white...
Bright speck, cast against the backdrop of blue. Ascending, unconcerned of the drop that would drench all. Escaped from the cankers of life, Suspended, An updraft of support. Wax pain, and tears Bereft of wings. Connection in wane, where we once as one stood. Bleating against the span, Your back faced to me. Indifferent now, Shadows cast where all was sunshine. Fists beat the bar of this prison where you have cast me. Re...
It had been a few weeks since Carmen had moved out, and things were getting easier. Her thoughts of Matt were more infrequent, and in fact, other men were starting to take Matt’s place in her dreams and fantasies; people whom she had not really thought of in years: old boyfriends, flings, lovers. Perhaps, briefly, they had entered her thoughts while she was with Matt, but she had always felt guilty thinking about them. No...
