Foretelling flames
sparked the rubble
that’s when both of them knew
they were in loads of trouble
Pixie dust specks
and spatters of desire
flared each flicker
destined never to expire
And although the world
tried to keep them apart
divine interventions
sealed their fate from the start
Who would’ve thought
a little dust and heat
could make someone’s lives
so full and complete

I get swept away
by the sound of your voice,
transported to that place
where only we exist.
Crashing within the waves
of your all-consuming love,
entranced and submerged
by the depths of your desire.
And since the beginning,
I have always known
that you were to be mine
and I was to be yours.
You are the truest love
that I have ever known,
and the very best part
of who I have become.

Slip into my thoughts
Dwell within my mind
Cover me in kisses
Help me to unwind
Wrap yourself around me
Give me all you are
Let us never part
Leave me never far

I adore the ones
who let love in
not everyone has
the capacity within
The ones who do
were made for me
they’re the only ones
who set me free

And then suddenly you were gone
like the rustling of crumpled leaves
fading against the backdrop
of a saturated city
My sails became limp and lifeless
hanging threadbare
against Times Square temptations
leaving me with a melancholy mindset
in the midst of a cosmopolitan dream
Manhattan meanderings
simultaneously stifled
an adventure left orphaned
under clouds full of finality
A meteor shower of emotions
enhancing the dimly lit depression
causing a crater of convictions
to overflow and seep into the crevices
flooding my ever-dispirited heart
