Painful paradox

Heavily guarded heart, 
wearily navigating life.
Like a fugitive,
invariably primed,
for that final day,
to be discovered,
apprehended, 
imprisoned eternally. 
Snapping shut like a bear trap,
only able to be opened,  
by the strongest of love.
The kind of which,
only transpire in dreams.
If you dare, 
to let your heart free.
The most painful paradox.

Confusion

Eyes meet across the crowded room,

words spoken but not said,

bodies in motion out of control,

rational thoughts escape mind,

lips collide in a passionate embrace,

hands wander bodies twist,

embracing each other,

lust, love,

confusion sets in,

feelings, emotions run wild.

a smile spreads,

a tear rolls,

as you walk away,

out of my life forever.

Mindstorms

As i sit and watch the storm, 
my mind racing with thoughts and fear, 
dark clouds gather overhead. 
Darkness only broken by lightning
slashing across the sky, 
I sit cowering in my chair, 
fear taking hold of my whole body as it starts to rain. 
As I watch the rain float gracefully to the ground.  
Everything starts to make sense. 
The lightning now seems to dance together as it lights up the sky, 
the thunder is now a soothing roll. 
my fear gradually fading, 
i hold my hand out into the rain. 
I watch the raindrops fall, 
they don’t seem scared, 
their whole life they are alone. 
They land on my outstretched hand, making their own paths across it, 
finding each other,
their whole life destined to be together,
two souls now intertwining, 
two hearts beat as one as they roll off together across my palm, 
suddenly i don’t seem so scared, 
as i sit and watch the storm.
