In her thoughts, she could see only him

Hear the sound of his voice, a whisper

Sending shivers through her body

Her unassuming, unpretentious ways

Giving delight to his darkness

While deep inside of him, lurking

Where he found her most amusing

He would watch her from afar

Never close enough for her to feel

He was merely a distant pleasure

In the madness of her mind

I’m selfish
I try to let go
And find myself
Still hanging on
It’s not easy
You know
It becomes a part
Of oneself
Until it breaks
And breaks, again
The pieces falling
Haphazardly
Endlessly
And when I try
Hopelessly
To hang on to
What I never let go of
I find it’s really me
Falling apart

She let the wind take her

Particles of life drifting in the air

Like the sands of time, shaping her

Bending her, into the breeze

Caressing, every element

Breathing new life, resurrecting

Rejuvenating, reclaiming

What once had grown old

A touch ignites a shiver

A fiery tingle of flesh

Upon flesh, we breathe

Under the quarter moon

Light reflecting only

In places, unknown

We venture, seeking

We find, and linger

And in the night

We become one

It’s rather abysmal, time sifting through

Like sands, fighting against the tide

We tread in shallow waters, afraid of the riptides

Still, we are pulled out, farther into the waves

Til we disappear, growing ever fainter

Like the setting sun, fading into the horizon
