THE THING

What’s this I found?
Wasn’t there before.
Such small red bumps…
Round, somewhat sore!
Squeeze ‘em like a zit?
Uh, I’m not exactly sure.
Should seek a doctor for it,
With high hopes for a cure…
I’ll wait… ‘til tomorrow,
An’ see what that’ll bring.
Tomorrow came and went ~
I’m still pestered by the thing.
So, the Doc said it’d go away.
Just keep it good and clean…
Tho, could pop up another day ~
Most ridiculous thing I’ve seen!

THIS BRIDGE ETERNAL

We’ll meet there on that bridge
Once again, one day,
Meeting halfway.
Profoundly symbolic ~
A bridge connecting
Uneven land
And there,
Hand in hand…
Heart to heart…
It was where so long ago
This journey did start.
Though driven apart,
Not heaven nor hell,
Or anything in between
Has weakened
Our connection unseen ~
Our souls remain entwined,
Today…
Tomorrow…
‘Til the end of time.
Like an unyielding knot,
Never to untangle,
Loosen or fray ~
Such a bond we share.
( Somewhat infernal )
But no matter what,
Come what may,
We’ll be together ~
A destined pair…
Forever.
This bridge eternal ~
Our love so rare.

HAMMERS OF SORROW

I can vividly recall embracing life
with all my being when I was a child.
Everything was an adventure then.
I’d stare at stars for hours on end
and dream of being some hero
in my little world of make pretend.
Though my footprints
in freshly fallen snow
rapidly melted into mud,
into a recurring nightmare
from a distant lifetime ago.
Lost is the thrill ~ Lost is the joy
Forever gone are those days of a boy.
The few delicate threads of hope
can no longer support the heaviness
of my heart while heaven eludes me,
stripping me of every reason to remain.
Oh, how I’ve been driven to slowly wade
through unbearable onslaughts of pain
wrought by unmerciful hammers of sorrow.
Nonetheless, the fault is still my own.
My every attempt withers in vain
as I find myself so stripped,
broken hearted
and, …ALONE.
Now with a troubled hand,
it’s difficult to write this letter.
Time simply hasn’t been a friend,
or changed anything for the better.
My destiny sits empty before me
and I know what must be done.
I’ll close my eyes for eternity
and turn this burden to none.

INSIDE

Within,
I shall fall,
so deeply crawl inside
a shell to tuck myself
from this world a while.
…And,
bury myself in sadistic style.
Hide the devil behind a door.
I cannot embrace it anymore.
…I will erase it,
face it with a sinister smile,
unveiling sensitivity so vile!
…Slip.
Trip in trailing slime ~
Slight that which might
become sacred in time;
Such a sickening site,
when true colors shine.
…Poke.
Prod with prideful spite.
Malicious rearranging mind,
numb the nerves that make it real.
My severed emotions turn to steel.
A gripping, grotesque nightmare
lures me to cure a need.
…You.
You simply do not care,
causing me to bleed.
Feed upon my innocence.
Plant an evil seed.

Nestled Amidst Nightly Haze

Crickets fiddle a tune
Under the silky glow
Of a faded moon.
Now on her way,
She’ll find me soon ~
Naked on a nightly wind,
She slowly drifts to me…
She’s but a dream, an endless fantasy ~
A secret passion within.
Concealed in the center
Of a churchyard, among graves
Beneath the pale moonlight,
I patiently sit
Watching shifty silhouettes flit.
Sheltered there in such silence,
The night becomes surreal.
While resting, reminiscing,
I sense you’re somewhere near,
Nestled amidst this nightly haze.
Remembering your lovely face ~
How I thought nothing could end
What we had in that time,
At that place...
As a lone night bird’s feather
Gracefully descends from above,
Landing alongside a fragile flower,
I recall the most beautiful moment
Of my life’s hour.
In the past,
I tried making impressions
Withstand the test of time.
Such miracles aren’t easy to find,
And with a heartbreaking farewell,
…It was all left behind.
Sometimes myself I seem to hex.
Yet, forever etched within my very soul,
Your memory will not rest.
It seems a chance has passed,
As time slips by so fast.
I have relived those days forever,
As if they were my last.
Though, it may have been so long ago,
That vivid reflection of heaven remains,
To dream and endlessly drift on.
This gorgeous gift you’ve given me
Withstood the test of change.
Too many times it’s been said,
All good things must end,
And too many forget how fate
Delivers Dearest ones near again.
Until then, I’d be just a faint friend.
Until that day,
This was my secret ~
A fairytale’s detail held sacred.
…You have returned,
My lost, Forever Love.
Never can I deny
The deepest root of my temptation.
Breathing a prolonged breath,
I close my eyes and faithfully confess…
If loving you is wrong,
I’ll willingly face eternal damnation.
I can clearly see you now…
Much more than ever before.
Slowly, ever closer you drift,
Baring everything,
wearing nothing
But a hazy midnight mist.
So deliberate, so sincere,
Gently raising your hand
To your luscious, soft lips,
…Blowing me the kindest kiss.
O’ how you fuel the fire
For my raging lust!
I’m tightly bound by desire,
And wound around the magic
Of your mystical touch.
Sprawling before me,
Reaching out…
Finally drawn together,
Here tangled in the dew,
Our minds, hearts
And souls meld into one ~
Quietly I whisper words,
None ever spoken more true;
Yes, I’ve had other women,
…But none,
None until you.
You’re an Angel in the night,
bearing a warm heart of gold ~
Like a beaming beacon of light,
you’re a gleaming treasure to behold.
Your warmth became my cradle,
My only surviving will.
And Stronger by the day,
My love grows for you, still.
Lost and lonely,
I’ve ventured a blind fool’s path…
I’ve taken more than given
And felt its untold wrath.
Without you, I’ve become empty,
My life useless as dirt…
Once more, I need your love ~
The only remedy
For this endless hurt.
In my heart,
There’s only ONE.
My Precious Angel,
Our everlasting story’s
Been previously painted,
Delicately adorned,
not twisted, nor tainted…
Unto you, I’ve been reborn.
Thus,
If it’s the last thing I do,
I want nothing left undone.
Again, meeting you
Stirs limitless emotions
Untamed and restless within.
Deep,
Raw, straight from the heart
Is where I must begin…
I have no place to hide,
No place left to run.
So, if my life should end
Before the rising sun,
It’s you that I shall dream of,
…For eternity to come.

See, oh geesh, I knew people would think I have some sort of THING! ...AH! But I don't. *Checking* Well, not yet, anyway... *Knockin' on wood* I just wrote this for fun and couldn't help but laugh like an idiot as I was writing it. Maybe my sense of humor isn't quite normal, but it fits me just fine... Heck, it's just nice to make someone smile, or chuckle once in a while - Gotta lighten it up a touch now 'n then instead of always writing about love 'n all that serious stuff.
