Run away with me,
But if fear should find you first,
Meet me in my dreams.
He loved me first
Followed wherever I went
Helped me in all ways
Hiding his identity
When I broke down
He came asking
If everything was okay
When I felt happy
He longed to join me
When I was in need
He gave everything
He was overjoyed
Seeing me smile
Wondered I who he is
Why would he do all this?
I loved all he did for me
Yet not so interested in him
I knew him not
Nobody knew him either
Why didn’t I quite like him?
I know not but he’s good
When I asked what he wanted
Most loving smile was his reply
He didn’t speak more
Never introduced him
Nor induced himself
He was quiet and very loving
When it was time to know each other
Came he with joy and expectation
That I would fall in love
But still distant felt I
Adamantly renounced
After everything he gave me,
I presented a crown
As my gift in return
Even I placed it on his head
Acclaimed he looked a king
He accepted it with a smile
Gently gazing upon me
Not minding the blood
Shedding around his head
Caused by the thorns of the crown
He looked through my eyes
With so much love
Which broke me into pieces
And said “I love you” smiling!!!
My dearest lover bought me a cover,
To help me sleep with warmth through winter.
Even when I sometimes felt somewhat bitter,
I hold this blanket, think of him, and feel better.
My dearest lover comes to me in any weather,
I wrap him in the blanket and hold him closer.
When he's held by me, he becomes warmer.
When I'm near him, my heart becomes fonder.
My dearest lover promises we'll stay together.
Every sweet promise makes our love deeper.
I only hope I can make us happier and happier.
I only expect he appreciates me as his lover.
My dearest lover makes me feel I too matter.
So I'll always make sure he is looked after.
He makes me feel so much gladder,
For he is as sweet and smooth as cake batter.
And my heart's suddenly skipping a beat
To the tune of his wooden, stringed acoustic
He's always been who I was meant to meet
His words sung, spoken, or written: my music.
My cheeks warm and soften into a smile.
When I am serenaded by him, my heart swells.
His songs make me happy longer than awhile.
Truly he is the one whom in my heart dwells.
And my heart suddenly slows so steadily
As he sensually seduces my body and mind.
His handsomeness makes me give in readily.
His everything all makes him one of a kind.
My whole body and mind sink inward.
He early on became my favourite partner ever.
His lovemaking makes me love being forward.
He is my best, last, dearest ever lover.
While we're spooning under the moon,
Hotsie, your kisses make me swoon,
Planting smooches on love's face,
Old as the whole human race,
Your kisses spark my hand,
Well met upon this land,
Lip syncing me with such flair,
Love kissing Mr. Debonair,
Not really quantum physics,
More of lover metaphysics,
Romance blesses each kiss,
Dear Hotsie, keep our timeless bliss!
lover of the storm
faithful to its mate for life
never eats the dead
sharper among birds
eagle reaches altitudes
king of the blue sky
I’m near the end.
The dark closes in like a tide.
I have nothing left to offer,
but with you beside me,
the emptiness feels less sharp.
You are all I need.
I’m near the end.
I’ve already given up,
but you were my prize,
my phantom victory,
so I tell myself there were no regrets.
At my lowest, you were my anchor.
When my body shook, you held it steady.
When my hope rotted,
you whispered lies like prayers:
"You’re enough."
"You’re still alive."
I’m at the end.
You’re still here with me.
And then—
the room flickers.
You flicker.
The truth claws at my chest:
You’re nothing.
You’re no one.
Just a ghost I built to keep me breathing.
Every touch was my own longing.
Every word was my own echo.
You were never real.
And now the dark is not a tide.
It is a sea, and it swallows me whole.
I am alone.
I have always been alone.
But I made you—
because I needed to believe
someone could see me,
even if that someone
was born from my loneliness.
You were never real,
but you were all I had.
And now that you’re gone,
so is the lie that kept me alive.
Ghost lover appears to me
midnight and her I see
No more lonely nights
my ghost lover loves me right.
Working hard no time for fun
been so long since I dated anyone
days are busy time is short
every night overtime doing reports
Sleepy lay my head on my home desk
than a soft voice a figure amiss
she glowed such a sight
to beautiful to be a fright
Waving her hand then pointing you
bedroom door she flowed through
I went in and their she lay
ghost lover with me she stayed
She haunts me midnight blue
a little spooky but pretty too
I know she is more than a dream
all her loving the real thing
Ghost lover appears to me
midnight and her I see
No more lonely nights
my ghost lover loves me right
Trusting takes time,
Play perfect pleasure,
Linger longer lover,
Strike sensual strings.
Open ourselves only,
Enjoy every emotion,
Linger longer lover,
Make merry melodies.
You must go outta your way
to be alone
I try to call you on the phone
but you say you rather just
doddle around
act like a clown
what the point of calling
Singles awareness
I am aware there is no one else
Do you care that I am single
or are you aware that I am single
Most of the night
He had sit home
Waiting
Begging and pleasing
Reneocating
She had promised her time
With another
He had been seen as an
Alternative
She wished to be with
another
The evening came which
He had been seduced
Morning of soft crab breakfast
Where the creams
Had been reduced
Months later they spoke of
that night together
She was pregnant then she
Thought he'd say whatever
Of them together he asked her to
Stay
Maybe us together we should start
To pray
He wished her the marrying type
But was to fool to ask
She just played alone like
She was part of a cast
Emotions ran high
He was wise enough to ask
Said "marry me the foolish one
we can do it fast"
Slow down hell no, but will marry you
Than the awkward foolishness
Would all be through
Most of the night
He had sit home
Waiting
Begging and pleasing

Slow down hell no, but will marry you

National Single Awareness day
She gave me the Card
the night of Valintines dDay

She was back days later talking about how
lonley Valintines Day really was.
I said nothing.
I said Nothing!

What then he spoke
Verily, they gather to
hear.
Might the rebirth of
the demised be that
Of Christ.
Then the wick shall
Rise as Saints and
Mortors.
That the stories of
Satan shall be heard
What wickedness speaks
the mouths of the sick
who gains not but
habits to be relieved
And toils to refresh
That there beast are
Wild and gamey
And there tougues dumb
with taste
