Beauty

Madness, chaotic. 

Screams of wonderment, enchantment, fill the air, like smog.

Women, with long hair, long dresses, long legs, long lives ahead of them,

dance endlessly, around and around and around and around.

Men, sneering and preying and lurching on these long women, ready to hold them captive with dreams of desire.

Children, leaping and cheering and discovering what adults do,

why are they doing that? should we be doing that?

Air swirling, excitement sways from one side to the other.

God must be ignoring this, or the Devil is in control,

possibly both.

Whatever it may be, it is beauty in its most

pure form.

Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name

When I envision you, all I see is my

future.

Alignment within our recesses of the heart prove that you are 

mine.

You, with your existence, your beauty, your intelligence, it truly is
unreasonable how much I care for 

you.

Let us sail through the land of concealed secrecy, where our love will not be 
judged, critiqued, or even mentioned on the lips of others.

Only wanted, in the mind.
Only desired, in the heart.

Let us become the legend of the love that dare not speak its 

name.

History will remember us as 

The Lovers.

It was so out of reach for the others that weren't 

you

and weren't 

me.
