Flames of Love

"Love can create flames."

My fire burns hot in my soul for you.Your fire for me scorches me.My flame flickers in the night.  Your flame is bright lighting up the night sky.  Two candles held together can make an inferno.The candles become as one....

Fading Echo

"Trying to keep a love lost alive... but time heals even wounds you want to keep fresh."

I held your name like a whispered prayer,Kept it close, though time stripped it bare.The edges of what once had burned,A fire fierce... now overturned.I traced your soft voice in midnight air,As if the wind could place you there,Yet all...

Echoes of the Void

"A tribute to ElliotLacey31"

Your words, a whisper in the void of the night.I never saw your face, just felt your soul.You have gone, you left a void, full of light.Yet your poetry makes me feel like a fool.Your poems, like echoes of a...

What I’ve Kept For Myself

"At the end of each session, the palette should be cleansed, preferably by fire."

Small Riches

"Seeking strength in times of uncertainty"

The world is run by lunaticsWho build electric cars,The tyrants and the billionairesWho race to conquer Mars.Their social worth is measuredBy zeros on a screen,The closest brush with povertyA million in green.I’ve nothing much in commonWith the richest one-percent,Treading water...

Our Souls

Our Souls Our Souls needed each otherYou met me when I was brokenOur Souls connected in a wayI never thought was possibleYou healed me in loving waysIt's like our Souls knew each otherAnd what to doI will be forever thankfulTo...

And Yet…

"If said from the bottom of the heart, three simple words can cause an overwhelming response."

"I love you."You said those words in disregardOf what they'd evoke in meCasually dropped themSeemingly.And yet...I felt itYour hesitationYour backpedalingYour insecurityThe way they were meantThe honesty in your voiceIt left no doubt.And yet...I hated hearing itThat's what I thoughtI denied...
