The Listener

For the third time this week
He decided to visit in the middle of the night
Like all the other times

Love Redefined (Part 2)

He watched me from a distance
I could tell from the shivers running down my spine
Though I pretended not to notice
My body and gaze remained stable
Even as my heart rumbled faster than the ocean's waves

I longed for him to paint my thin lips
With the truth in his tongue
Reciting his desire to know my heart's contents
The air was vibrating with a lust so thick
He didn't have to whisper in my ears
My body melted just from the heat of his calm gaze

As he moved closer to me, yet not close enough
The world seemed to be completely still
Not even the bees buzzed at the scent of the flowers
I wish I could turn my head
And let my eyes dive into the depths of his soul
But I remained fixed on the endless waters

I knew not of his existence till now
Yet i found myself drawn to him somehow
I imagined that when he spoke
His voice would be as raspy as the sand beneath my feet
But would still manage to soothe my fears at the least

My mind craved to kiss his intellect
My heart ached to nurture his flaws
I had "fallen in love" so many times
But this feeling was foreign to me
It had to be love redefined

Love definition (Part 1)

And there she was,

Sitting on the silky sand enjoying the afternoon,

Watching the sun set over the mystic horizon of the Atlantic,

Seasonal changes

…A smile spreads on my face
As i watch you take long strides
With your impatience evident in every step you take
My cheeks heat up as you close the space between us

I’m here now

I’m sorry I wasn’t there

To catch you when you fell,

I’m sorry I wasn’t there

Thunderstorm

She mesmerizes you with her sparks,

As lightning cracks across her skin,

Crushed

I put my heart in the hands of a man

Forsaking Yours, the Creator of men

In sync

When you take the lead

With your footsteps matching your heartbeat

Be happy

It was my ego

That made me cry over you,

Get depressed over you,

And fuss because I wasn’t the reason for your happiness anymore

Home

I fell asleep in your arms

And I heard you whisper, “sweet dreams angel”

I didn’t feel scared or alarmed

Cause to me you were home

Untainted Grace

Her head held high, wearing her crown with dignity

Proud of the woman she claimed to be

Carefree of all of life’s mishaps

Life happened to her in a split second

Dragging her pride and her head down with it

As her head continued to hang low the crown started to slowly slip off her head

The once sparkling jewels became a testament of her demise

The mist that rose from her sorrow as the cold tears hit her hot cheeks

Tainted her crown, filling it with rust that clung to the hinges of her heart

Stone to bread

I blamed you for months for my dismay

But what I didn’t realise is I had myself to blame

I had spent years waiting and praying

And in all those years I thought I was slaying

Kicking to the curb all the guys who tried their luck

Earning myself many horrible nicknames

This was until you came along
