Fortitude

Fate's hand dealt 
Blinding pain 
In perpetuum 
Desolation swallows me whole 
Transcends all else 
Disenchantment obliterates hopes 
Annihilating sanguine dreams 
Must surrender to affliction 
Malady, my friend 
Only solace in agony, 
Agony with no end.

Familiar Strangers

First meeting
Familiar strangers
Never met, but always known
Teary gazes locked
Sky blue eyes enlightened
Once separate lives
Arduous paths journied
Led to this very moment
Singular soul within
At long last reunited
Eternally etched in time

***********************

Two as One

Two hearts beat as one
Your breath fills my lungs
I see the world through your eyes
My lips release your weary sighs
On my shoulders I bare your burden
Your pain flows through my veins like poison
Your tears stream down my cheeks
You are cut... and I bleed...

SMF

Drown 

Split second 
Light extinguished 
Enveloped in darkness 
Frigid and foreboding 
Suddenly alone 
Arms reach out 
Hoping to find you 
Discovering nothing 
But four walls closing in 
Racing heart echoing 
Solitary sound 
Pressure amplifying 
Air violently depleted 
Waves come crashing in 
Swirling waters from bottom to top 
Cries for help unheard 
Icy cold filling my lungs 
Suffocating screams 
Vanquishing thrashing limbs 
Until stillness overcomes 
Leaving only desolation 

SMF

Delirium 
Shadowy feminine figure 
Lurks outside the glowing window 
Watching silently 
Coveting in the night 
Two angels illuminated 
By flickering firelight 
Cast in passionate embrace 
Lamenting why it is not her... 
Imagining that it is! 
Happy enough in her delirium 
She continues the fight 
Though reality eludes her 
In him she will never delight 
For his heart belongs to the light

Deceit
Just like a vampire
You sucked me in
Beauty hid your dark intentions
Heavenly scent
Lingered in my nose
Melodic voice
Set my heart aflutter
With each exquisite syllable
Splendidly beautiful face
Consumed me like a drug
Most alluring of lips
Invited me in for kisses
Left me weak in the knees
Wild with desire
Passionate encounters beyond compare
Your seduction is complete
I close my eyes, you are all I see
You have me at your mercy
All your talk of soul mates
You’ve no soul to be found
It’s too late, my heart to you is bound
All you wanted was my life blood
Now you bleed me dry
Toss me aside
Next victim already in sight
