The Darkness of the night mirrors the bleakness in my soul. I'm drifting on an endless wave of despair, knowing I must gain strength to be bold. Then, out of the fog, a brilliant beacon of light shines. Silently urging me to the safety of the light. You are my beacon, so tall and strong. Willing me to keep driving, and to not give up the fight. Your strength seeps into my veins, allowing the vision of freedom to prevail....

  Arms open wide under the hum of burning stars,  Breezes nose My silhouette For your scent   I fill my lungs with air Steel my muscles   Wind rumbles To a raging roar Flames bullet  From the sky, Tiny fireballs  Spearing my flesh Tattered dress flaying  My screaming wounds   I close my eyes, Unable to feel your touch Unable to hear your voice But our vows remain, Etched as ever   The earth knows I know You know   There’s...

Friday morning Autumn has blown in with a vengeance early in the week.  Cold, squally winds and heavy cold showers are yellowing the leaves and ripping them from the trees to be trodden underfoot. My partner, Jen decides that walking to the station is no longer an option.  Normally she dons sneakers with her business suit and walks the fifteen minutes down the country lanes to catch her train.  She always says it’s qualit...

I run my hands up and down them as he sleeps, Thinking of every careful move he makes.   He pulls me close and holds me against him, He doesn't let go, he knows I need to stay here.   Overflowing with strength, he cares for his body as a temple. He caresses me as if I am the most delicate of beings.   He carries me to our bed, still holding me so tight. Laying me down, he wraps me in his blanket of tenderness.   There tog...

She is dancing Lost inside Never facing Why she cries Lost in rhythm Blinded by beatsForgetting him With healing feet A beautiful mask Adorns her face Her only task To dance with grace Her twinkle toes Hide her tears No one knows What she fears Heart forever shatteredNever to feelDancing is what mattersIt's how she heals Watching her glide Across your world Getting mesmerized By this beautiful girl A precious diamond  Dan...

Like a thief in the nightYou came to take my lifeHolding on to your grudgesYou drew forth your knifeHer voice inside your headClouding all your sensesBlinded by her jealous hateYou let down your defensesShe is the venom of romanceKilling our loves danceShe is the bitter witchWho never got a second glanceI am now your instrumentWhose music is no longer heardWill you come to meOr leave me as I yearnDrugged by her own tearsS...

You kept my tears as souvenirs.Played upon my darkest fears.Held my heart in contempt.Used me till I was totally spent.Yet I continued to come back for more.No matter how many times you slammed the door.I only wanted to be held by you,Nothing mattered till I knew.How you really felt inside.It was then I finally cried.Your indifference in the open, unable to hide.The nature of your deception, even your body lied.You never...

Forward you go.Shackles of the past weigh heavy. Still, forward you go.The pain you endured could not compete with the will that you possess.You are a Goddess.A diamond among thorns.Tears may enter in your heart.Yet they shall never reach your soul.A guiding light,With a beauty that eclipses the north star.With you my pride turns to thankfulness.You turn my worst days into Heaven.My heart burns for your love.My soul yearn...

“Alright boys, we’re done.”At last our practice was over. That was the second practice of the day, and we had spent at least half of the time doing running. I took off my cleats and headed for the locker room. Since I was a new member of the team, my running fitness was a little bit below par, but my overall physique was among the best on the team. Long sessions at the gym over the past years had given me a body better th...
