When the nights turn dark

And the sun lays its head rest

I look for your light

But you’ve faded into the void

And the void swallows me whole

Like a shark and its prey

Tricked by the swaying waters

Lost in a sea of lust

You promised me love luminously

But only stole what was left of mine

And left me a dying flame

When to powers go out

So I lay awake in bed

Telling the moon my hearts story

Becau...

To go home

And find the dishes done

Because she knows

I hate doing them.

To find clean sheets on the bed

After getting out the shower

Because she knows

I like the clean feeling.

To find my favorite snack

Never running out

Because she always makes sure

To refill it in time.

To find extra blankets and pillows

Ready on the couch

Because she knows

I’ll fall asleep during the movie.

To always fin...

Love has many forms.

Love has lived many lives.

Some have never seen it

Some have gone blind .

Some are drowning in it

Some are surrounded

But love we all need

Love keeps us grounded.

Whether it be touch

Or acts of serving

Or quality time

Or even gift giving.

Everyone loves different

And difference makes us special

Special enough

To always find love

In many different circles....

My eyes shed tears

Just like the sky.

My sorrowful sobs

Echoed by the thunder.

Trembling in the wind

As fierce as lightning.

Because only the clouds

Can feel my pain.

Taken for granted

Wishfully swept away

But called upon

When crops growing.

Passing between

Denial

Anger

Bargaining

Depression

And acceptance.

Only to live a life

Where I’m destined

To be left behind...

Soft to the touch

Like a sheep’s wool.

Eyes of pure skys

Heart of gold.

Mushy

And lovely

And sweet.

Who would know

Such softness

Hid corse,

Bristly fur.

Eyes that pierce souls

And heart of stone....

“Love, where did you put the laundry basket!? I want to throw in a load before I go to work!”

“I already did it!”

“…what do you mean you already did it?”

“I put the laundry in a while ago. Have a good day at work.”

“Where did the dryer sheets go, babe?”

“Oh I used the last one earlier. I put them on the shopping list”

“Used them for what?”

“The laundry of course, silly”

“You did all the ...

I want to feel, I want to know.

I want to love, I want to grow.

I want to care, I want to see.

I want to hear, I want to free.

Where lights dim, where cries quiet.

I fall from grace, I start to riot.

Lost in anger, lost in grief.

My eyes are clouded by belief.

God has forsaken my hearts sense.

He’s scorned upon my attempted repents.

I want to love, I want to know.

But now I’m left with no whe...

I wandered the path I had always walked every day, on my way home. I held my lantern high enough to shine over my face and my surroundings. I watched the ground bellow me, as to know where I am and where I’m going. When my eyes shifted up for a split second, I saw something strange. There was a cloud like figure looming over an entrance to the forest, lighting a way in. I’ve never been into the f...

He had fallen within the depths of himself

Lost in his skin

Sunken eyes

Pale complexion

He drowns in his sorrows

In his tears

He tries to swim

He tries to make the waves stop

Anything

But they just keep killing

And killing

And killing

And killing

As he sinks deeper

And deeper

He watches the sun fade

With the last of his consciousness

And lets himself succumb

To the desire within himself

His ...

Red delicious

Coated in purity

Fresh with desire

Sweet with love.

I hadn’t seemed to learn

From Eve’s mistake

As I bit into perfection

That hid lies of pain.

For even the sweetest of fruits

That shine as bright as stars

And promise truth of heart

Can rot all the same....
