Faded Rose

I gaze at her as she smiles back 
Her searing brown eyes lock with mine
I am reminded of that familiar feeling 
Her radiant beauty tries to blind me of the past, a forgotten lover

Like a faded rose my heart has lost its color

Awkwardly admiring her assets
Her long hair pours effortlessly down her back
And her scent strikes my senses 
A romantic ambiance I was once able to immerse myself in
But these walls are results of many falls
And these eyes have been victim to many lies
My lust for affection has been jaded 

Like a faded rose my heart has lost its color

Only once lovers can relate to this pain 
It drains your veins leaving you broken and tamed
Just scratching the surface, I am finding that she is perfect 
Her delicacy has mesmerized my mind 
With thoughts of what could be…
A feeling that was lost with time

Like a faded rose my heart has lost its color

Do I dare to make that leap once more? 
The lust, the trust I yearn for
Do I tempt this notion?
Will we fall victim to the motions
The breakup fights, long nights, makeup sex
Relationships never seem to pass the test
Her daring, seductive eyes allude to my nostalgia for love
Shall I compose another heartbreak or will I have finally found my everlasting lover

Like a faded rose my heart has lost its color

Silence

The darkness consumes my soul like an eerie black wooded green
The smug, moist air masks my senses
The chirping, mischievous sounds prick my ears
The dark sky eludes me from the truth, but most of all
 
The silence is what draws it near.

Similar to an unwelcome companion, 
I cannot ride myself of this shadow
When I find myself alone it becomes thorny to control.  
It knows how to navigate its way through the depths of my soul, 
blackening my insides

The silence is what draws it near.

At that very moment my thoughts no longer reside as my own
I lose all ambition, and perspective on the promises I have made
I become engrossed in the past and the impurity of myself
My mind is a desolate forest with no sign of vivacity or time

The silence is what draws it near.

I ponder over disrupting the silence
Destroying it once and for all
No somber emotions would be unveiled
Like the leaf of dying tree I will be forgotten, 
and soon after another will take my place

My purpose is uncertain, unattainable, 
and unfeasible as these thoughts 
relentlessly stab my mind. 
My hollow existence has destroyed what once could have been, 
and the silence has forever taken over.

Lauren

Lusting for her attention my love will not astray
Lasciviously longing for her touch I am
Left as a lonesome lover
Longing for this looming emotion to be repaid

Attentively awaiting her response as I 
Adore her angelic prowess
Absorbing her passionate beauty
Allured with her benevolent touch I
Admire her decadent love from a distance

Ultimately aflame from her radiance
Unveiling this starry-eyed emotion
Unswerving this feeling that I longed to revive
Unusually risking the despair in hopes of
Undeniably finding her there

Riveting as the morning sun, her beauty is
Resonating through my veins like a drug
Rendering the urge to satisfy my desire

Enthralled in her glittering ambiance
Elated by her smile, I cannot 
Escape this everlasting trial

Nevertheless will she notice my devotion
Nervously wishing to numb my emotion, to
Nimbly evade this narcotic notion

Blissful Deception

Enthralled by her presence
I obsessed over her captivating impression
The room became still, as her beauty lingered
My eyes effused by her figure
Pondering on satisfying this craving, this vigorous attraction
I approached this distraction

I remember her alluring scent
Her lips blazing with passion
Yearning to be satisfied, pleading to be wanted
Like a goddess shimmering from above
But with exoticness, the eyes hunted for love
Her shape implored my urges and tempted my thoughts
She arrested my heart
Leaving me restless and distraught
But she responded to my devotion
And soon committed to this emotion

The room now empty and black
Only four barriers caging our impurity 
Her shadow amiss the obscurity
Boldly conveyed her infatuation,
Pressing my narcotic fixation
I approached her ablaze with an impish intention
And we fed our addiction, liberating our delicious obsession

Unveiling our sins, and stripping away our innocence
Our level of desire was limitless
Running my hands up her legs
I triggered her sinful aspiration
Heatedly gashing off her clothes
I roughly pressed her against the wall
Pulling her hair as I stared
She did not dismiss
But welcomed the forceful bliss
The ecstasy was raw, as the sweat ran from our pores 
She moaned biting her lip
In turn, to suffocate the groans
I grabbed her throat, not to choke 
To kiss, so deep, so heavy, so intense
She would forget whose air she was breathing
And at that moment, her satisfaction was present
Relieving the implication, fulfilling this euphoric sensation

The night soon passed, but would our love remain?
Was she destined for my name?
When I awoke the bed was wintry and cold
And to this day 
there was never a word, never a word.
