I knew the minute you
walked away, it was over.
That minute we turned our
backs on each other, forever.
...

in the future moments will
come when one person says
to another, “That was great! ”
...

As I look at the photographs
with you in my arms,
looking one at the other,
all I can sense are your charms.
...

I’ve been caught in a trap
of live and learn.
Walls crumble down,
while my mind burns,

“The winter's comin' on

as my nose begins to twitch and flair.
My body instinctively seeks this smell,
a desirous appetite I need to quell

Keats brought to life.

seep, tears cloud passion
joy-making fondness
liquid dreams
fattening bits of sweetness

you ask.

I reply.

Not say too much of love
to a cold, deaf ear that
has only heard what it wants to hear.

What once was beautiful
has transformed into
a hideous creature that
has no feeling for the pain
...

You came into my life
and left me unafraid,
made me unashamed
solely by your grace.
...

never thought I would
be here...inside myself,
beside myself...
questioning every decision

God, it's been too long
I had begun to wonder when

Darkness was falling
over my eyes
as the Sun became covered
with ominesce clouded skies.
