Premium Member Adieu - Part 1
Do you remember?
We lay in the moonlight, exhausted and content,
Moments from perfection, skin glistening with moisture,
Salty and sweet from love - love so amazing
That it stunned us every time ...
Always better than before, and always...

I was doubling over in pain and disgust,
And looking up at the sky to the lightning bolts and...

Fragments of a True Bond
In the quiet corners of our shared days,
Where words are but whispers and laughter,
We built something fragile, something rare—
A friendship, pure and unguarded,
Between a girl and a boy, so different,
Yet bound by a common heart.

Through...

I fought my demon 
I hold my angel close to me
It's wanted to fly to the sky
As much as it hurts, it hurts me so
I didn't want to lose it again 
But I must let...

There is a hidden story here,
 wordings in the lines of a book that openly appear
   well-worn images cleared

It's tucked beneath trees, as the leaves dwindle down
The varnish has faded, but the seat is quite sound.
Clouds cover the sunlight, that begs to pour in.

Premium Member A Third Quantum Subject Specifics: The Applications of Murphy's Law - Part II: ANSWERED
My distracting theatrics verses are preempted versions of impending calamity, one by air, and, one by sea.

Premium Member But a Moment
I hold you ...
tight to my chest
but with a concerned tenderness,
as if you are an infant
that I am shielding from a storm ...
or an angel of Valhalla -

for the soft-thrumming rhythm...

But it was only when I fell

I thought we made a promise to each-other when we made it official.
My idea of a real relationship was completely off.
I assumed that you would always be faithful.

She used to try and make me jealous 
then I would chase her around

Girl with the black cloud.


Everywhere the lady goes, she steals rainbows.
She seems so sad, because true love she has never known.
This beautiful lady with her own black cloud.
The cloud of doubt that always follows her...
