THE SHADOW HE HAS BECOME

His silence like an arrow pierced my heart,

At the dawn of the night, my heart raced

Sleep parted, dreams scattered 

My ears scream to the racing heart

In my haste, time was an enemy, 

In my hurt, time became a friend

Gradually turning my lover into a shadow

Sexual intercourse became his only form of communication,

Digging in between the thighs, dripping of sweats, scratching of the back and Oh the thrusting.  

The uuuggghhhh, ooohhh, aaahhh, mmm, yeeesss, he desired most.  

Oh mine!!! the nectar that shelters in between the cave and sanctuary of a woman and the shaft of a man.

The odd of bending over, the pain of laying with a leg raised, the agony of lying in a wired manner felt nothing anymore.

Just the pleasure. Felt good. 

The sweet nectar drips, and taste so good.  

Times like this, i wish lasted forever

Soon the moment passes and we share nothing more.

He wears a mask scarier than the beast.  

Like I was a fling, or maybe a one night stand

That nothing meant anything to him, not even the cuddle of a lover.  

What took the sight of my lover? 

Who had him under her bed cover?

Or did I get too short or I grew a little tall?

Did I trade my weight or bought a few pounds? 

Did the size of my breast shrink or blossom that he didn't enjoy holding onto them and sucking them any longer, did they fail the test of time, showing the works done?

What of the kiss of love? 

Or did the sight of my nakedness stop getting him hard on until he had explored every curve of my body with his tongue, from my toes all the way to nibble on my ears.

My finger is short, it cannot find a resting place.

THE PARABLE OF TOMORROW

Like a dog stuck on its bone,

The door has fast become my favourite spot since you went.

Hoping that one day you will walk through its embrace,

Back into these arms that have long been left bare.

My nights are colder,

My days, longer

You know what they say that, “Out of sight, out of mind”

But I guess that only works for a little while

Until the heart begins to feel that irreparable absence,

And begins to grow fonder.

Although I dislike being deceived,

The promise of your coming, I like to hear

My lips keep wandering where yours has been

And the well of my arms, 

Yearn to be filled with the water that flows from your every hug.

Our water is running dry,

Because with every miss, a drop falls from my eyes.

LOST IN THOUGHT

So many things i wish to do
So many places i'd love to see
And more people i dream to meet.
One minute it seems to be moving in the right direction,
And the next, it all just fades away.
Maybe all of this wasn't meant for me?
How could i think something this good could happen?
Everything just seems so far from reality,
And everyone, even though my eyes can see, i can't reach.
But how could i for once even think this was meant to be?
I don't know what to do,
I don't know how to move on,
I've dream't this for so long just to watch it slip away.
But as always, its a dream that fades anytime i wake up.
Sometimes things happen so fast,
That i don't know what is really important to say or do
The wind seems to be moving along with all my plans, nothing stays
And as hard as i try, there's not much i can do but watch as it sways
So what if i don't dream?
And just scream,
Would it make any difference?
Will i be heard?
Or will it just be absurd.
I don't know who i am
I think i'm lost

IF...............THEN

If love is forever

So i always want to be with you whenever,

And everything seems so perfect

And the mere sight of you

Awakens emotions and feelings so true

Then why wait any longer

If i believe in you

And with every kiss on the lips you prove that its true

And the touch of your hands made my feelings grew

And stir up emotions we that seem to transfer

Then why deny what we feel

If next door to happiness there's sorrow

Where everything becomes so hollow

And things change in a short while

And what is, tends to become what used to be

Then why not remain with you behind closed doors instead.

If i trusted you as much as you do me

And the voice of the world made no sense to us

Cause all we could hear is each other's voice

And even in the darkest of  times we trusted still

Then why compromise what we share

If time waits for no man

But rather spins around like a yarn

Changing moods so rapidly from joy to pain

And bringing things we never expect

Then let's live within the moment

And enjoy as much as we can

Let us allow love to lead the way

So that we follow as we may.

Because at the end of it all

If its me, then it will forever be you.
