The taste of love

celebration-2236025_1280

Love often tastes
Like bitter wine
Exhilarating at first
Then unrefined

Yet we never stop
Consuming our fill
The taste matters not
So long as it’s real

Nasty nonsense

Do you ever just wish
You could take back what you said
And every moment after
Is something that you dread

All those regretful words
Left hanging in the air
Fills you with affliction
Cause you really do care

But something made you do it
Spew your words of hate
A bunch of nasty nonsense
If only you could relegate

Time is the only cure
Likely to save your from your demise
Your only hope left
Is that the memory fades and dies

Kiss me until I can’t breathe
Press your body close to mine
Do this every day to me
And feel our hearts entwine

He wraps me in such loving words
Words written only for me
And like a warm comforting blanket
He covers me with his heart

Filling in the gaps
Life does have its ways
Often sending rays of hope
Even on the darkest of days

And when those unexpected beams
Spread warmth across our faces
It’s happiness we see
And love which embraces

Those gaps no more
A bright sunny future instead
Everything we’d hoped for
Depressive thoughts now dead

If only we could bottle sunshine
And keep it for the days of despair
We’d never be tormented
By even the smallest thought or care

Instead we look for those rays
Hopeful they’ll find us in the dark
For the tiniest amount of hope
Leaves such an impressionable mark
