Under his spell

Under his spell
She fell
She drank

An affair of the heart
In ruin
She sank

Torpedoes dispersed
She tried
To veer

But in the end
The outcome
Was clear

Rediscovering you…

10

When I read your words
All those wonderfully inspired words
A sense of longing and desire
Pulls me straight to you

As hard as I sometimes try
I can never deny your existence
Your words they come alive
Because you live in every one

Indulging

I absorb you
All of you
Drink you in
And the filter
Never changes

Disjointed affirmations

12

It’s in these dark moments
When the night is still
I sit quietly, listening for an answer
Even a whisper will do

But like all futile desires
I wait in abandoned apprehension
For I know the likelihood
Is a ruse I dare not believe

And why must I dwell on answers
That I know aren’t really there
It just seems easier
To surrender to defeat

Under a star near the sea

log-2766903_1280

Under a star
Near the sea
In your arms
Is where I’ll be

A twilight cove
In a land far away
This remote place
Is where we’ll stay

Happy and free
With nothing to lose
Every moment will be
Just as we choose

A fiery display
Of passion will ensue
As we both discover
Just what love can do
