Love 3

Your soft silhouette
I trace in the night
Breathing gently and dreaming
Of what I have no sight

I caress your body
You awaken with a moan
We move together
Our love is strong

Making love in unison
We reach the tip
After we separate
Share a kiss on the lips

As I have no other
I deeply love you
Happy to know
You love me too

Shattered

I thought I could
Entrust you with a shattered heart
But you gave it back
Torn and broken apart

So I will slink back
Into my hole and pull
A rock over me and
My darkness

No one will ever
Find me again
I am tired of
Sorrow and pain

The ridge

The ridge beckons
In the gleaming light
Where lost innocence
Drapes over it

Many souls have cast themselves
Trying to surmount the ridge
No fame or fortune can help
Few make it to the top

Yes, the ridge of love
Is a cruel mistress
Few can conquer
Because of haste

Light

Without your light
To brighten my world
It has become
A dark and lonely place

Without your love
To sustain me
I find that
I hunger

Without your arms
Wrapped around me
The world is
Cruel and barren

I need your light
In my world
To brighten
My day

Love 4

There is no rhyme
Or reason
Laugh in love
Or cry in pain

So kiss my lips
And slay me
Take me to your bosom
And save me

Without your love
Landscape is dull and grey
No light can penetrate
Where my heart lays

In this lonely bitter place
Devoid of love
I was slain so that
A shadow of my heart remains

Thank you tifa, I feel like I'm in a rut right now.


Shadows

Images abound
In my shadow world
Where love dies
In my shadow heart

Slain I was
In times of love
A greater sorrow
Could not occur

Will you walk
In my shadow world
Learn to love
My shadow heart

Knife 2

Lay bare my chest
Steeled for your thrust
Deep and biting hard
Through my heart

Yea, twist your blade
Cause me pain unbearable
So I am slain
As dead as your love

So I lay parched and withered
Upon this desolate man
Where no seed of love
Can take root

You 2

Your skin
Soft and smooth
Cool to touch
Elicits fire

In your lips
For me to brush
As we explore
Your secret places

Thank you flai!

Dark Place

Out of darkness
I crawled
To the world
I knew existed

Blinding bright sun plays
Birds sing their melodies
Still a vestige of shadow
Hangs over my heart

From darkness world
Thick smoke coils
Whipping all hope
Despair rules

Bed

Won’t you lie
In my bed tonight
I won’t hurt you
I will treat you right

My bed is comfy
Sort and warm
Made to cuddle
Not to harm

Won’t you lie
In my bed tonight
Stay with me
Till first light

Chains

Wrap my body
In your chains
Enslave me with
Illicit desires

Chain my heart
For no escape
As your beauty
Waxes in my eyes

Chain my soul
So I can’t go
So I cannot live
Devoid of your love

Breakup

I buried a knife
Buried it deep
Over it now
Won’t lose any sleep

You trashed my love
Which you will regret
The very best love
You will ever get

You say you still love me
It hardly matters
To the four winds of Earth
I have scattered

Moving On

When I see your face
It’s not who I am with
I always see your face
Even though we have moved on

Yet my heart yearns
To kiss your lips
But those hated words
Dropped from my lips

Ending our love effectively
Splitting us apart endlessly
So all I can do now is
To be moving on
