Loveless Are the Romantics
If I took my heart out of its cage you would think: "ah offal, just meat, fresh blood if I eat it quickly." . Crazily, you call 'need' love, you're crazed, heartless, a cannibal, a crippled dog baying at a savage moon. Limp tongues turn to syrup eventually. Clearly these bodies are ravaged temples, apes howl about its holy alter. And yet, cherries are flesh, their sweetness...

A House of Romantics
Our cat is a Romantic, and a creature of habit. she demands to be fed at the first rosy light of dawn. I awake each morning &, being a benevolent god, feed her breakfast as the sun bathes her white coat in coral sunlight. The kettle boils with fresh water for hot green tea. I sit outside each morning, a creature of...

Those Who Are Romantics and Those Who Just Exist
Why is it that society must outcast? The man who stays up, alone, at 2 in the morning, is no less a man than the one who sleeps with his lover, soundly. The dark, early mornings are made for the broken and the romantics. The poet, who writes of a life never...

The Mechanics of Romantics
All things have purpose and meaning within, deciphered, at cost, by those of keen mind. Surely, this dream they call love is akin, with mechanics and rules of its own kind. Evidence traces back thousands of years, and billions today try their best to make sense, of all the hopes and the joys and the fears, that have made, do make, and...

Modern Romantics
Modern Romantics, The pattering keys of time Unfulfilled phantoms of the mind, Unlit sparks, your desires from life, The wide spaces between lives. The short pattering spasms An onlooker of natural beauty A wide eyed smile of gleeful times To quantum logic of unplanned interjects, Targets of stagnant ears Powers of instinctive judgement Placid thoughts and marked sprees Those alive shall see the beauty of the Modern Romantic...

She was the only love he'd ever known For the cheap wedding ring he would atone She pined for a bigger "ice" A five carat stone would be nice ...

We've watched our family grow and the joy that it brings! For her wedding ring, this poor boy bought the best he could afford. Alas, the stone was so minute, when she...
