you’ve sold me

a radio without

sound

rice without the

cooker

a place with no

ceiling

a car with a

bum engine

I lived in your caves

and adapted

carried your words around

like stone tablets

-really believed in you and

your cause

well, you’ve taught me a thing or two

and as much as I’ve wanted

to hunt you down and

kill you

with

my bare hands

I

haven’t

you’ve given me a

pure solitude.

she is deep blue flames

scorching all that she touches

i am begging to be burned

i have never wanted so much

to wake up with ashes on my skin

third-degree burns are not enough

i need to touch her again

there are fireworks

in my stomach

going off under my bones

i am wishing for embers

and communicating in moans

her lips are so hot

she could maim me with her fire

but i wouldn't mind dying

as long as i am her pyre

It's like I'm just under the waves

Of the ocean, seeing a blurred

Image of him through

The salty brine.

It's like he's just out of reach

On a mountain ledge, inches

Above my fingertips

It's like we're on opposite sides

Of a beautiful meadow

But in between us

Is a mile of quick sand

it's a blast of color

in my black and white heart-

so strong it almost knocks me out.

he sears my soul

with heart-throbbing smiles

and words i will never

be able to forget.

each day he says those

three simple words

he fills the cavities that

have taken hold in my heart.

takes me by surprise

time and time again.

It's scary yet thrilling

Not love, just friendship

Maybe could lead to

More than friends

Secretly hoping so

Ready for a new adventure

In life just ready and

Maybe it will be

The most beautiful thing

Yet to come. And that's

A little scary for me

Your first experience of love happens unexpectedly, it is an emotion so strong, and so unexpected, that at first you do not fully understand this strange, new, compulsion.

Like a child learning to walk you stumble through your first love affair, and like a child who has learned the art of walking, you realise that to love somebody is a painful and life changing experience that, like walking, involves falling over, except that in affairs of the heart the pain is far more crippling.

Love is without doubt our strongest emotion and it drives us with such power that all other considerations become secondary. This is why the state of being in love leaves you open and defenceless to all manner of false alarms, and we've all been there. When the person you love tosses your feelings aside, there is no other pain quite as debilitating.

The most beautiful by product of love doesn't become apparent for quite some time. It can take many years of loving someone for it to to dawn on you that love is like a tree, it grows. From humble beginnings the act of love takes root, and these roots anchor themselves deep within your heart as the tree grows.

The longer you love someone, the more intense the feeling.

I met a certain someone over twenty four years ago and I can attest to the strength and force of love as it grew within me. Now, all these years later it rules my existence and I would not have it any other way. Love is truly beautiful.

I do so hope you find a love as strong as mine. It gives your life meaning in every sense.

But, beware the tumbles.

I like this boy and its just a stupid high school crush,

but every time I see him I get this little rush.

His eyes are warm and his hands worth holding.

Maybe one day he will take me bowling.

I wore his jacket one cold night now I can't get him out of my sight.

I thought I had a chance.

And it was gone in a glance.

But he doesn't want a girlfriend especially not me.

Wouldn't you agree?

So I sit back, while my hands are shaking.

And my heart still breaking.

It's hard

Loving someone you can't have

Knowing they love you too

Is worse because together you will

Never be

It's hard

Loving everything about them

While you can't hold them

Knowing she can but you never

Will be able to

It's hard

Loving him with all of my heart
