The graveyard

Summer breeze flows fast through my fingers.... warm windy kisses my face, a shadow casting over me from an above fleeting murder of crows, seeking out their next destination, their next place ,.... the iron gates open and inviting,... I met you at the graveyard, as if you risen from a tomb, your death from your mothers womb, like the universe planted a seed and a star bloomed, with petals made of diamonds, prism colors and shapes twirl in the trees,
.. I met you at the graveyard, I looked into your soulless eyes, you asked me who I was, I said I'm your demise,...I met you at the graveyard, baffled by your presence, you are alive but not living, you had an essence and burning desire, you asked me again who I was,I said I know who I am but who are you? Your existence was unknown, your energy was black, I was taken back,.... I met you at the graveyard, wondering if that's where you called home, young, gorgeous and alone, I felt a burdensome sorrow and a need to apologize for all your tumultuous, pain and hurt, a tear rolled down your beautiful face, you said there's no need to apologize, l've forgiven and am in a better place....
I met you at the graveyard

2nd date, my thoughts i wonder

The new moon,shining so bright, it's like a 1000 luminescent lights reflecting off the sea of waves, Hand in hand we drag our toes trough the sand.I look at you, you seem so confident.....
The moonlight glimmers from your eyes...
You look up to me, not to be noticed I nervously look up to the stars,....
Breaking the silence I say: the stars sure look brighter than normal don't they?
With a soft grin you reply..... yes they do, the dimples your grin produces appear to me for the first time,....
I foolishly say: you know dimples are a birth defect.....
Your grin turns to a smile and you slightly chuckle, In my humiliation I say to myself, ah why did I say that!!…... I muttered under my breath what I thought were unheard words, I say: this isn't how I rehearsed this over in my brain...
To my surprise you replied, "don't worry it's ok, this is perfect" as you squeeze my hand tightly and softly nudge into me,
Our footprints become silhouettes as they fade away into the sand,
My thoughts start to roll in......how did I get here with you?..I was looking for you..... I wonder if you were looking for me also?..
I found you.....
I wonder if you feel as though you found me also?
I wonder if you believe this is temporary or forever?
I wonder, if you wonder?..
I wonder……., you abruptly stop me in that last thought and pivoted towards me, wrapping your arms around the back of neck, propping up on the tips of your toes, you pull me down towards you, kissing my lips, your feet now resting flat on the sand again and you raise one foot in the air,... trying to keep my composure, my eyes wide open looking to see if yours are closed,…... my arms awkwardly hanging in the wind….... Oh wow!……..WOW!! my thoughts start to roll in
I wonder how did I get here with you?...
Did I manifest you into my existence?...
Iwonder if you manifested me into your existence?..
I wonder if we manifested us into existence,..
...... My
thoughts I wonder

Magic spell

I have a secret to tell,.. Or maybe it's just a magic
spell.
,... Those three words i said to you went unheard, ...you said you loved my hands,...
.. I said I
love you,.. You said that you loved the way I touched you,.... I said I love you,.... you said you loved the way kissed your lips,.
....I said I love you,
.....I have a secret to tell,.... Or maybe it's just a magic spell,... You took me down your destructive path and left me for dead, your secrets were kept, but I knew,.... in my dreams while I slept, your lustrous ways, the lies and the way you betrayed,I have a secret to tell,.... or maybe it's just a magic spell..... you stabbed the knife so deep into my heart, twisting and turning tearing it apart,..... being in the moments with you, the music, songs that strike a match of memories,those burning thoughts fill my head up with smoke, I have a secret to tell,
...or maybe it's just a magic spell,.
.. The
hurtful words that rolled off your tongue in your departure, knew the secrets you kept, in my dreams while I slept, I saw everything that you were hiding, the lust for him was so inviting, I have a secret to tell,..... Your secret is safe with me
