A Glimpse At...

Not a love at first sight moment; 
These feelings grew slowly but strongly
Fed by the intensity of the magnified energy 
In your smile

Difficulties arose before our hearts
Separation of the fusion of our love's confusion
Fist kiss
Lover's secret
Creeping below the night
Sleeping in the twilight
Of hidden windows 
Tress gently bow to the majestic crowning
Of our royalty moments

Days and nights spent in sporadic movements of bodies
Intwining in the rewinding of perfect timing
Grasps of air tighten our grip on eachother's skin
Taking eachother's scent

Guilty pleasures
Hidden treasures 
Going beyong possible measures
To ensure our safe journey 
To the shore of lover's paradise
Cherishing every breath with you; Sharing every dropp of sweat with you
Touching on cue; Raising the levels of estacy for you

Nothing matters when we die in our heaven
From morning till life seven or eleve in the evening
Feeling your breathing on top of my chest heaving
Tired from my heart racing from exhaustion
I go with precaution; Because now you have caught on
Sensing my weakness
Addicted to the sweetness

Nevertheless I progress to the next level of interest 
Diving heart first in your soul
Finding the hole in which only I can hold

Fighting endlessly for the end I seek
Bruising with defeat I promise not to meet
Planting my feet firmly in your world
So I may become something more than your girl
Changing my life completely; new life in my death
Falling in so deeply; in the release of your beathe

Seconds Away

My transparency is clouded by rainy eyes. Closed wide open
Dilated pupils penetrate the delicate skin protecting the aged flesh of my soul.
But seeing nothing
Not even the emptiness of my being.

Becomming integrated in the shadows of certainty
Sentimental flowers line my grave
As the petals disintegrate above my reach 
I feel a peaceful death slipping 
Through the cracks of my fingers

Attempts to rise above the pain fail me
Instead; I float below the sky
Flying with broken wings
Broken by the winds of reality

Hiding behind words; 
Refusing to be defeated by unshed tears 
That have already soiled my smile

Anger rushes through me;
Not fully understanding why no one
Nothing understands the beat of my heart
The lack of beat in my heart
Shining blank eyes at my pain
Expecting smiles to comfort their faces 
Yet I yearn for a comforting stare

This emptiness
This void eats at my sanity
Living in the death of expectation
Reaching for nothing
Becomming the nothing that is within me

With Questions...
Why is my only release through a pen?
Why my only ears is this paper
Watching time speed along
I await the fire
And as the coldness arrive
I will burn in the ashes of my tears
