She Lay Forgotten

Even flowers flutter in the wind
their stalks bend to the power,
all in a trembling voice.
They shimmer in the sun
warm to the touch and hot to the hand
valued above others.

Here I lie alone
no body, nor son to warm me
his words lost in the silence
as admiration dwindles and falls.
Here she lay forgotten.

Sand cradled and embraced repeatedly
the waves transform each bit
as his charge overpowers,
alters the smallest of cares
generating that worth viewing
and beyond so, wooing

Yet here I lie alone
still no body, nor wave to lap me
the words falter through distance
their admiration dwindles and fails.
Here she lay forgotten.

Creatures sheltered from the elements
trees, ground and rock envelop them
life and health dependent.
Every fancy fulfilled
resulting in a lavish beauty
Cherished and protected.

And here I lay alone
no body, or words to warm me
as the span greatens
the admiration subsides.
How long will she lay forgotten?


~But I tell you that even Solomon with his riches was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers [Matthew 6:29]~

Your Love Does Not Keep Me Afloat

Your words echo in my heart
they resonate in my mind.
The voices all scream out
and pull me to the past.

I need to escape the waves
continuously lapping my heart.
They pull me under
and the tide whips me around.

I search for the land
my lighthouse to guide me back-
pull me to safety
rescue me from these waters.

The dangers draw near
an attack from all sides
as I gasp for air
I can't help but smile.

Your affections misguide me
I require more than words.
You lack devotion
you have no anchor to hold me down.

I urge you to retain your love
await one who is free to accept.
For mine has been offered
and accepted without suppression.

More than I ever received from any of you.

Engulfing Storms

As the storm grows nearer, the headache worsens and excitement thrives. Though aching at times, such power engulfs me. The damage endured merits the rush. The banality of the truth is striking as I grow more aware of the pleasure exuding from the pain. To exchange a brief moment of discomfort for a lingering time of delight: their is no question.

You ask, then don't understand. To the world of pleasure seekers, they need neither ask, nor riposte. For a deep appreciation for desire persists, in truth it dominates beyond recognition. Begging for respite only to be left empty and unfulfilled. The final rumble of thunder steals away your last hope of climax.
