My pen’s whispers melt the silence
With a breathless touch of compassion
Blended into hues of softest memories
Soothing my melancholy with brilliant

The fire in your eyes, 
scorches my soul,
burning with an intensity,
leaving me to hunger for more.

I try to avoid your gaze, 
wanting to ignore your magnificence.
My self-control disappears,
as desire consumes me,
persuading my eyes to linger,

Arrives with soft rhymes and quickening steps

Like flamboyant September skies
Laughing lights in the eyes
Singing melancholic poetry
Into the moonlit night
Trembling with...

The first flame will always be its own.
None can ever mirror it.
A second flame born of the same candle
may be coaxed to life;

of grieving widowed mothers

Where moonlight softly traces,
Exploring dips and curves untold,
A hedonistic journey to behold

My eyes slowly droop
Getting closer and closer
To darkness
But I still try to

Every time I inhale,
Your scent overwhelms...
