Poem: "Blood In My Veins"

"Blood In My Veins"

If I sleep to dream
let me see your lovely face
hear your voice again
to feel you beside me
once more

In the morning after
after passion and need
have satisfied our lustful desires
the sun rises to greet us
with its illuminating light

You get up and walk towards the window
looking out towards the shore
as the tides come crashing violently
against the rocks

It has begun anew
I walk up behind you
and slide my hands
around your waist

As the moment lingers
my heart beats faster
you lean your back
against my chest
and sigh contentedly

Loving you is the one thing
that I was meant to do
lest we share the same air
to breathe

You have become
the very blood
in my veins.

Poem: "Flood"

"Flood"

I stand here
in front of this broken glass
because of you dear

The scars
such beautiful
little things

Tears come down
like raindrops
amid the fading dawn

My breath is cold
as you stare
gasping at my holes
exposed

You turn away
as the light fades
from your eyes
those desperate pools
of stormy blue-gray

Crawling on my hands and knees
on the blood soaked floor
you took away my innocence
and replaced it with dark
restless seething

Oh I want to hate you
my bastard love
I was taken before my time
you ripped me apart
with your promises and deceit

As you pulled me closer into you
a part of me died
my screams of help
fell on deaf ears

Oh my sweet predator
you shall always have the best part
of me
locked away with you

As you walk away
for the last time
love, always remember

That in the empty spaces
that grow within you
that I hope you get what's coming
to you

How I love you still
as this feeling lingers a moment longer
save me somehow
from giving in
and doing the right thing
for the wrong reason.
