love you

Tonight, someome said "love you" to me.

Not the uncomfortable "love you"

Not the forced "love you"

Not the expected "love you".

The "love you" that makes me tear up everytime I think of it.

Such a powerful statement from such a powerful being, was said... to me.

To the person who said that, I needed that way more than you could ever know. 

love you

The Healing of Ancient Wounds

She wondered into his place of work

because she thought she was loosing her head

When approached by him she lost herself,

her wits and her heart instead

She found her will to try,

emotions she had lost,

physical urges she thought she had shed

The sight and sound of him,

the insight he shared,

her soul he fed

Cautiously she indulged, 

dependency has only ever bro...

MY SAVIOUR, MY SAVANT (An ode to my paid weekly "friend")

I lost all control

Crossed the threshold

My tears too excruciating to hold

 

I prayed earnestly to be released from the pyre

I saw you and I continued to burn 

Only now, I burned also with desire

 

Curiosity peaked

Fervent interest realized

The voodoo you do, mesmerized 

 

Divinity revealed?

Oh, what power you weild!

Desperately I yearn to yeild

 

Yo...

Rush Hour Treat...

Emotional turmoil 

Tranquility sporadic

The future unknown yet frightful

So warm, inviting and sweet...

 

Everything makes sense again

Hope is reignited 

Fear, is once again

For the time being

Obsolete...

Loved Like This

My mistakes

and all the painful memories,

they've changed the way I think,

changed what I believe.

 

And when I doubt,

when I think I'm all I need

when I hope the world can't see me,

 

there's safety in your voice

and a smile in your eyes.

How'd I wind up here?

With you by my side.

 

And when I can't explain,

when I lose my grip,

when I make excuses

Typical Day

Staring out of window

admiring nature’s awe

 

Picture full of perfection

sans single evident flaw

 

 Indolent tepid sunshine

 streaks daubed with gold

 

As if time has stood still

to treasure and behold

 

A lone cloud high above

seemingly gone astray

 

Wending its way towards

blurred horizon far away

 

The trees swaying gently

with gusts of ...
