I come in from work and the whole house is in darkness. Every blind and curtain is closed. In the living room, a lamp glows, casting its weak light on a small cardboard box beside it. The box glitters in the soft light, maybe it has some gold or metallic pattern on it.I walk slowly towards it and on the top is a single post-it note in your handwriting with the words, "Open Me," written on it.

There was once upon a timeA beauty that was so divineWith a voice of an angel That travelled a thousand miles Upon the gentle summers breezeThat caught me by surprise A melody so beautiful upon my earsThat echoes upon the wind. A voice so beautifully divineThat caught me blissfully unawaresLike a siren of the seven seasFrom which I was lured forthThat captured my heartbeat And played it like a bass drumBefore a strike of...

She'd opened the window but the room was still far too hot. Her hair felt damp and her vest clung to the curves of her breasts. One slender hand clutched the phone to her ear and the other worked desperately between her legs. His voice urged her on. "You're so bad," he groaned, the words heavy with desire. "God, if I was there..." He let the idea hang long enough to tip her over the edge; her fingers moving frantically as...

In my darkened bedroom, I stare at the blinking cursor on our Skype chat. I have been watching it blink for far too long. I’m waiting for you to come home and sign on. It has seemed like one of the longest days of my life. I've been so wound up, I'm aching for you. I’m sitting here on my bed, with the blankets already turned down. I have a surprise for you, when you do eventually come on. I just wish you’d hurry up now. I...

We all have a dark part of ourselvesThat we desperately try to hideA part that is full of worry and fearEngulfed in envy, lust and prideSociety too often becomes obsessed With only our outwardly existence Forgetting what's inside matters mostOur insecurities must meet resistanceSo drop all your walls and let love inYou can grow if given the chanceOpen your heart honestly to possibilityAllow your inner spirit to finally da...

I listened to your voice.It wasn't what I had imaginedYou would sound like,But then again,I really did not knowWhat to expect.If I said your voice was sweet,What would that mean?Memories of something sweet,Beginning when I was a boy,Buying candy bars for twelve centsAnd savoring the chocolate,The caramel, the little crispy somethingsThat went "crunch"As I slowly chewed.And chewed.Letting the chocolate meltAs I chewed.Then...
