With Me


Does the promise fade with the passage of time
or does the flame flicker with age?
Does a lifetime companion lose its attraction
of the heart that is beating, albeit seeped in 'less than'
Optimum pleasure throughout this lifetime,
and somehow has settled for just O.K.

Is it only in youth one possesses that exuberance
for limitless possibilities for two?
Dreams on a heartstring blow past your window,
Reflecting pathways and songs yet to sing, or
Do you just close the door to those uncharted waters
Turn around in your lonely life and just sigh,
Go back in time when you were so much younger
and the morning sparkled in your world with flashes
of true love, the most excellent kind,
You'd sell your very soul for, pay any price,
Even willing to sign in your own blood ...

If battered and bruised with maybe a limp
A heart came to you with the promise,
Would your flame burn with desire, incredible fire
In recognition of that special one?
Or would you simply walk away, remembering the pain
from so many dismal yesterdays?
And never know if this was the one
Who could turn your world inside out,
With romance and passion, for without which, you're dying
A lifetime commitment to be by our side
And sail those uncharted waters,
Explore those distant shores
Taste the elixir of heaven,
Open that door!

Step into your destiny with me,
Give me forever to remove every trace
of previous heartbreak and blame,
Taste again the magic, touch that elusive dream
The one waiting for you,
With me ...

Angels

If beauty can only exist in the light
and the truth of the heart is revealed,
Then why would one profess to be in that light
and continue to use darkness in an attempt to conceal,
Maybe to confuse the objective reflected in that light
The prize one has gazed upon through the windows
of one's being,
The prize one seeks to claim as its own ...

Why use words hung as lampshades
To obscure your heart's true objective,
Incorporate a little double-speak
Dripping and oozing deceit,
Cover with a cloak of sweet, swilling phrases
In a vain attempt to hide your real desire, your treat ...

Have you no clue, are you really that unaware
Did you not know that true love sees all?
True love sees through all of your lies
and subterfuge,
True love is never fooled ...

Have you ever wondered why the answer evades you?
Why there is no response to your plea,
Has it ever occured to your nefarious soul
You can't alter one's destiny,
Whether yours or another's as we travel through time
You can't stop a bullet
or sit on a dime,
A word to those seeking in wisdom and love,
There are angels all around us
From below and above ...

At This Place


Arise and come to me, my beloved
Take flight on angel wings and do not tarry,
This flame burns ever bright and steady
For the one I was created to love, only you ...

Let not your heart stumble nor dark clouds obscure
The promised fulfillment ordained from times past,
Set in celestial view, as a beacon
And signpost, to show you the way ...

Not hampered by distance, nor time
My soul sends your essence this message,
'Without you I'm empty' , 'Without you I'm blue'
I watch at the window of life
See others so happy and sigh ...

At night I can only imagine
Your touch, the caress of your hand
As you reach for me and we embrace
This love, we've spent a life time seeking,
This love, that now waits
At this place ...

Another Moment





Is that true love there, I discern
just beyond the horizon of your soul?
Shimmering in the distance with the familiar glow
I have recognized from times past
and can almost taste the magic,
but for your refrain,
Careful, as the steps may be uncertain
tho' the path remains the same,
The tender tug of true love's tapping on one's heartstrings
will seldom bring thunder and rain,
But rather the dawning realization
of what's been missing from your world,
Look around and notice, all you have is pain.
But Why?
Why settle for less than the very best
the universe has to offer?
Don't let that damaged ego and false pride rob you,
any longer ...

You know better than to buy into the world's big lie
and media's deception,
That after one passes the age of twenty-five
We're all put out to pasture, no exceptions
To graze among Geritol swishes and
Viagra alabasters,
Make sure we have our supply of Depends
for those unexpected leaky bladders,
And when our dentures no longer hold
our teeth in their proper position,
Might as well turn it in
Call it a day, for it's half past,

YOU DON'T SAY !!!

Have you forgotten the taste of a midnight fire?
enjoyed in a room for two, fueled by eager anticipation
and blue flaming desire,
You couldn't get there one second too soon,
When the sound of her voice would send you
The thought of her kiss excite
Knowing where those sweet lips would go,
You'd find yourself in overdrive

Just to get there ...
Just to see her ...
Just to lose yourself in her touch ...
For another moment of ecstasy ...
For another moment with true love ...

Have you forgotten the magic?
Don't let past hurts steal your joy
of what may be a dream come true,
Long overdue
The dream of me and you ...

Reclaimed




If I told you, I loved you and threw away the key
And you weren't ready to receive the gift,
Then, can I go and turn back the hands of time
Remove the ocean from the sea?
Erase the memory of your love
Negate the power of your presence,
Forget I ever knew you,
And go back to just being me?

Is it possible to simply rip you from my soul?
Eradicate the esoteric wonder
we experienced during twilight's first reprieve
Lose the memory of our soul dance,
The quiet caress
The sound from your lips as you breathlessly
called my name,
in rapturous delight
Would I even dare?

Do not ask of me this request, for it is the one thing
I cannot do,
Let me die a thousand deaths
then cast this empty shell overboard at dawn's first light,
I will rest in sub-aquatic slumber
In those murky depths, fathoms below
Until your love, again, calls to this heart ...

With this treasure, I'll be waiting
The only one that matters
The only one there could ever be,
The mystical key once thrown away
Now reclaimed
The one to you and me ...

Ah You!!


You ask me to think of you
And I can think of nothing else,
I want so badly to have you here
If only to lay beside you,
Skin to skin, head to toe ...

And gaze upon your beautiful form
With candle light and scented fragrances all around,
Just hold you so close, right next to me
All through the night enjoying erotica's love melody,
Let's open the door to our destiny, shall we?
Feel the calling, feel the need ...

For so long I have been waiting for that special one
That exquisite soul and the only one for me,
One who is sure of himself
Especially his masculinity,
Not adverse to showing compassion, help another in need
Not allergic to tears or sweet tender hugs,
Who knows how to love and receive love enthusiastically,

My true love will be a connoisseur of sensual gifts and talents
And view a woman's body with awe and admiration
The same as I view a man's
My true love's body that is, every gorgeous inch!!
So breathtaking in his enticing execution,
A perfect counterpart in every conceivable position
The wonder of a Master's Design!

Your thoughts draw me to you, I'm craving you now
Caressed by your essence, you're driving me insane
With desire and romance of such magnitude
I am totally obsessed
For the rest of all time
To know such a wonder as you ...

Is It You??


It was a day like most others, a night nondescript,
I was writing as usual, and then there was you
Calling to me ...

Like the sensual serenade of the blue pacific
gently lapping on the shore,
Cascading over the great coral reefs at twilight
I could feel your caress all over me,
There was magic in the air and all of a sudden
Without warning, my heart began to flutter,
A surge of excitement
I do believe ...

Who is this one who sends his male essence
to taunt me on this summer's eve?
Mystically compelling with his firestorm of desire
Reaching right through the vortex of love,
Thoughts of you now dance in my head,
Like rainbow confetti swirling around
tropical tradewinds, shimmering there
In the distance,
Reflecting off midnight moonbeams
A message, perhaps from above?

Intriguing man of mystery, are you the answer
to the call of my destiny?
Could you be the one I will love?
For now and all time until there is no more rising ...

Will you be the one to set my soul on fire?
My perfect passionate soul mate
Who knows how to love and receive love in kind,
Created especially for me
Since the beginning of time ...

My White Knight

I feel the tender caress of my white knight as he's calling,
From his ethereal kingdom across that great divide,
He summons my soul with flaming desire
To taste his sweet love just waiting for me,
Let me take flight to be with him
At our destination created in time before time,
We knew not, before this hour arose ...

Those nefarious pawns with their malicious agendas
Sent others ahead to obscure passion's throne,
Those fiendishly executed, yet lackluster plans
To derail this moment at true love's real home ....

Meet me at the foreordained portal
The one to passion's domain,
Expectation arises to show us the way
Trembling, we unlock that golden door,
Finally, we've reached passion's domain
Behold, now the promise and so much more
Let us now climb inside our dream,
The one we always knew was here,
The one that is yours and is mine.
Experience sheer rapture as we bask
in the glow of soul fire round at twilight,

We melt into true love ...

And share in the knowledge that dreams do come true
I knew this as soon as I met you,
Give me forever to satisfy you, secure
in our love and commitment,
No more will you roam, searching for her,
Your sweet elixir is here ...

I want to feel you all through me
And love you all through the night winds,
We will drive to the edge and just wait,
Until passion's excitement
No longer can contain, our ecstatic elevations
and sensual games ...

And then together, we'll explode
in nuclear fusion,
Soar past the heavens and smile
As we slowly float back
Through shimmering clouds and glide through
rainbow sunsets, entwined
Dancing in our hearts, you and me ...

Magic Moon


To everyone seeking a perfect love
As we lay sprawled with passions spent
Tiny moon beams dancing across our feet
Stars twinkling a melody like chimes
hanging on a rainbows silken thread
I feel your breath upon my chest
As you drift into sweet slumber dreaming, I hope of me
This was not a lustful night, like so many others before, I've lost count
You captured me with your soulful eyes
I will not leave here like before, after a respectful time
I will be here in the morn with coffee and a rose by your side
I will waken you with gentle kisses, as the moon beams scatter back home
Pledging my troth as never before have I felt this melting of my heart
No master plan, no blue prints, no suit and tie for this meeting
You are yourself unique. No changing, erasing, restructuring
You are the essence of my perfection. The ebb and flow of life
so clear to me now. I have been ebbing, you flowing
But now we will flow together like streams meeting for the first and last time
Wake my love and listen to my confession of obsession with life's shallow pleasures
That will never again touch me, or enter our wondrous lives.
Wake up my love.

The Secret


I will seek this final twilight flight
In answer to love's plaintive cry, and attempt
One last time to find the fading passion
Slipping from yesterday's dreams ...

I must endeavor to reach those distant shores
Before the merging rays of Autumn's burn
resting there, now dormant,
Scorch and forever remove that unsated
garden, of ancient bloom's first promise ...

Are those saddened eyeshells watching
from a distance, glistening in cobalt blue?
Why this splattered heart continues to tumble
from incomprehensible pain,
I just can't seem to stop these lingering traces
and jagged arteries
from leaving crimson footsteps out there,
In soul blinding rain ...

Give this one the edict decreed
before the sands of time held in abeyance,
With shrouded veil seditious,
Unless this code unlocks
The secret of the ages,
The secret of love's capricious pause ...

I Promise, I Do


Is love found only in the big splash
In the beginning where fireworks abound?
When just the thought of the other
Is enough to send you reeling?
Or is love in that quiet adoration
That spans through decades,
And quietly waits for the signal,
To begin one's life long admiration
of sharing forever with you?

Why does it seem you can't have them both
The fireworks, the sparkle, the passion?
Where does the desire go
When love stretches out for season after season?
The quiet flames in the evening glow
Silently stroll past yesterday's flare,
Secure in their love, one for another
But tell me, where is the flash?
The one that stopped you dead in your tracks?
At the very mention of her name
Why does it cool to a faint embers glow
As you slowly wait for eternity to take?
Give me the fireworks! Give me the flame!
Let me show you how to have both,
We'll sail for nirvana
On our erotic love boat,
Secure in each other
While having a blast!
I'll be there forever, commit till the end
Be there on dark days with clouds overhead,
I'll love you always,
Be your best friend
But let's keep the passion
Nuclear ...

Let's keep the fire too hot to handle
Let's keep the ecstasy
Till the world stops and then,
We'll pass into forever
With this knowledge and truth
You can have them both
I promise, I do ...

Angel of Love



After years of stumbling along those murky shadows
I had enough and knew I had to get away,
Anything to break free of all that gut-wrenching
sorrow …

Breathed a sigh of relief
And walked into my brand new day,
Broke the chains to melt away the ice that
Had surrounded my soul,
Yearning as it was, to taste love
No more acid tears, no harsh words tonight,
Craving those sounds of ecstasy when two souls become
one …

In the distance, stood the silhouette of a woman
I watched as moonlight danced along the curves
Of her slender form,
Feeling passion building inside, I found myself moving
In her direction and gazing into her eyes
I knew she was my angel of love,
Sent to fill this vacuum I once called life.
Never again will I be alone with her right by my side.
We bath in this river called our love, and
Together experience sweet soul delights
Soaring past heartaches and flying past the pain of
yesterday …

Precious to my soul, guardian angel you are
Always by my heart and more,
You’re with me when I pray and meet me in my dreams
I know He brought us together, with love like this
How could we ever be denied?

Magic Moonbeams



Like a spinning top you were here
And set my soul on fire,
And like that top, you spun around
To capture my every desire,
And we were so happy, you and I
For hours wrapped up completely in our love,
No one else but you and me
No one else would ever dare,
Oh! how I thanked my lucky stars above ...

Amazed at how each puzzle piece, they seemed
to fit exactly right,
The universe cheered
Jealous eyes would leer,
It didn't matter then, you were with me
And all was right with the world ...

Or so I thought at the time
For unbeknownst to this one,
There were others there
In the shadows,
In the shadows of your mind ...

You spoke with them and conversed with them
And called them each by name,
It never occurred to me
To this trusting heart, you see
They all lived there with you,
Right inside your mind ...

And I fell, hook, line and sinker
Blazed right through all my defenses,
Believing you were the 'one'
Yet, how could that possibly be
When in all reality,
You had no idea yourself
If I was real or merely another dream,
Or maybe another of those many voices
Who lived there in your head,
Who came to visit from time to time
Whenever you would take a evening stroll,
Outside the midnight hour
Upon those magic moonbeams ...
by:ajs

Yours and Mine

Sensing in my spirit the winds of change
An enchanting breeze whispers your name,
I shall venture a maiden flight with these angel wings
A gift from your heart,
So rare ...

To visit you in the appointed place and hour
Created for us before time began,
I have been waiting for that special one
And together we'll journey through that esoteric wonder land ...
Where all of our dreams will come true at long last
We'll enjoy sensual pleasures for days without end,
Feast on erotic treats in perpetual rapture
Taking our time, savor each new sensation ...

No need to rush, as eternity has given us
The gift of forever,
To consummate completely, our love
Yours and mine ...

You and Me??

What if, when you weren't expecting
A tender caress, from a distance
A gentle soul who caught your attention,
Suddenly appeared?
Who said just the right thing and got you wondering
Who is this person behind that sexy smile?
Intriguing man of prose, you are
Mysterious one, who has now invaded my night scenes ...

One look at you and my mind begins to race
With exciting possibilities
Seductive games we could play
Enchanting times we could explore
If only, you were in this place,
With me ...

You told me of your heartbreak
And now, I want to erase
All those painful memories,
Put a smile back on your face
And what a face! Your handsome face
With a body that just begs to be pleased,
I look at you and find myself
Wanting you here,
To tease ...

But only in the best way
For I would love a chance to share
My world with you, all brand new
Just say the word, if you dare
And allow me to show you a love you've only dreamed of
Exquisite in my care,
Won't you take my hand and walk with me
Into your morning miracle, way out here
Next to the crystal clear sapphire sea?
Just waiting, whenever you're ready,
Waiting for you and me ...

Celestial Love




Can these aching arms of mine
Hold out the hope to embrace another one,
Close to this heart still tender and true
For eternity and a day?
With the promise afar on the horizon,
Gleaming there in the morning sun
A glimpse I did perceive,
Your love tantalizing and caressing me
from a distance,

Enchanting one, I am intrigued by your style
So sweet and sexy with your lighthearted smile,
You ask me to think of you
I find myself complying and even more than that,
Find myself desiring
The trace of your fingertips
as they trace my silly grin,

Here I go now, where to begin ...

I want to feel you next to me
Skin on skin,
Fan true love's flame together
As we unabashedly dive in,

Let's take an enchanted evening
And dance among the stars,
Run rampant through Saturn's rings
Then playfully run to Mars,
We'll stop a while on Venus
Experience such sensual delights,
You and me forever
We'll never forget this night ...

Come and join me for the rest of your life
Let me show you joy unspeakable,
Allow me to really experience you
The way you've always dreamed of,
Let me love you for all eternity
As we soar past heavenly gardens above,
And celebrate at long last

Our ultimate celestial love ...

Perfect Harmony



I am like the treasure that at first you don't see,
Perhaps you were blinded by the glitter
Of others in the realm,
As time passes, that glitter starts to tarnish
and fade,
You became aware my sparkle
is long lasting,
My light is steady and true ...

Not here to outshine,
Though my brillance is reflected
In your love for me,
And together we walk
Into our destiny, side by side
Hand in hand,
Heartbeats in perfect harmony ...

Tell Me Why





...thinking about those relationships that didn't work ...

Tell me why the eyes of love are at times
~the last to realize ~
~ the last to fully comprehend ~
~ the last to want to admit ~
That what love sees, has left,
Gazing now at but a mere reflection
Of that noonday sun of times past,
When love was brand new
And you could never get enough,
When being there was all that ever mattered
To the both of you ...

Where did that love go?
So innocent and carefree
One that took endless delights,
~ in a simple smile ~
~ in a good morning hug ~
~ in the quiet, 'I love you' ~

Now, surrounded by denials and clenched teeth
Somber stares out the window,
Hushed tones on the phone late at night,
Vicious venting and hurling accusations,
Watching as you pull away at midnight
A chilly north wind unexpectedly stops my heart
And I cease to exist ...

Tell me why the eyes of love are at times
The last to fully comprehend ...

One Taste




Tho' this body be beaten into submission
And all that remains is but a shadow of it's former glory,
Once standing radiant in the blazing sun of passion's flare
Never again to gaze upon the promise
So eagerly anticipated since time began,
In the destined dayspring of our foretold encounter
on that certain enchanted eve,
Forever to be etched in that great hall of hauntings
A tribute to the desire our souls did indeed partake,
And if, but for a solitary moment in time
We were allowed to celebrate the ecstasy of true love,
Then, I have no further requests ...

That memory alone, I will treasure and hold to my heart
above all the rest,
Priceless to this soul for all eternity
Remembering I did once taste the elixir and soared,
Bathed in shimmering rapture as together
we reached that magical place,
The one where soul mates dare to dwell ...

On days when the ebb is low
And I hear those familiar footsteps at the door,
I will pass into eternity with the knowledge
that in this lifetime,
I have sampled that which in eternity past
Remained as yet a dream ...

Heart and Soul


If love is all you need
Then why are so many lonely?
And bleed
Tears of pain from an aching heart
As they walk through their journey
with permanent scowls that won't part,
To give them the rest they need
from the haunting realization,
They'll probably go through this life as one ...

How does one recognize that special soul
The one, destined for them
Since the beginning of time,
What do you look for that tells you, 'it's me?'

Is it in the smile they share?
Their touch, so sweet,
Or the voice like a melody,
The color of their hair?
Or, a combination of these
and so much more ...

No, it's far beyond what you can see with mere eyes
But rather, comes from a sacred and pristine place,
That matching mixture so often belies
Any simple or trite formula,
Of exterior indicators alone
It's much more to do with the heart and soul
Ah! Those mysterious components, quite unknown ...

Simple Pleasures



When it's all said and done at the end of the day
and you think of all that really matters,
I am sure you will agree with me, here
It's the simple pleasures of life that will stay
forever etched in your mind,
Impressed on your soul for all time ...

Those seemingly inconsequential ones
We've all grown to love and expect,
The 'thank yous' the 'how are yous?'
the 'I miss yous' and 'love you always'
The courteous phone call to let the other know,
You've reached your destination safely
or have just arrived home.
The unexpected gift sent anonymously to a friend in need,
The shoulder to cry on, the ears lent to listen
The bear hug when all else fails,
The quick bite to eat, the movie night treat,
A hand held in silence
The comforting smile,
All these and more, just to show how much you care ...

It's not always in the big, flashy dinners
Or nights on the town, 'dressed to kill'
Broadway or Operas or those formal affairs
Limousines and taxis, door men and valets
Grand when they happen, but not the usual fare...

If you love another, understand this timeless fact
The simple pleasures of life
Are where it's really at! I'd say!

I Miss You









Has 'always and forever' passed us by this lifetime?
Did that crash annihilate our dreams?
If you are the one I was waiting for,
Have we tumbled from that golden window
Once seen dancing before us under twinkling moonbeams...

Will you meet me back at the train station
Or was that merely a vapid scene,
Was that our sunshine, the scathing doom bird trashed?
Epiphany has shed her shimmering choosing to tether
herself with known feigns.
So certain I was, when I first met you
Knew without a doubt, you felt it, too.
Horrid night screams tormenting me for weeks
Wilting in the heat of these dry tears, wanting you ...

Naked, here by my bedside next to this faltering heart
Shattered and slashed vexing eye shows
Lamenting lunacy over our failed romance,
... untouchable worlds fantastic
... no sailing on forbidden seas,
... no jaw dropping thunder
the kind that drops you to your knees,
in total and complete exhilaration
in absolute exhaustion, replete
... no taste of a thousand kisses
to explode under blue lunar with you ...

I am off to travail in this desolate space
Alone with my memories, now blue
Alive with the promise of yesterday
And only the sound of my lonely heart's repetitive tune
I miss you ...

True Treasure to Me

How does one maintain a grip on reality
When everything that once was real, no longer exists?
But rather, faded from your life
Like a black and white photo left out in the rain ...

Images barely recognizable, once so vivid and clear
now reduced to the strength of sand castles after the morning tide,
All that remains is a faint impression at best
Of what you thought was permanent and would stand the test of time,
Do hopes and dreams vanish along with one's changing circumstance
Setting in motion a continual decline,
As one by one they slip and no longer can be grasped as before ...

The perfect home with the breathtaking views
From the mountains to the endless Pacific,
Where you sat spellbound, taking in each sunrise,
From forty three floors above the cobalt sea,
Witnessing the changing of the guard
As the stars would take their final bow,
And the sunbeams announce each new day
first by peeking behind the clouds,
And it was all so magnificient and stupendous
Feeling so secure and safe each time you closed both sets of
double solid mahogany doors, ten feet tall, breathing a sigh of relief,
You were home and all was well.
And your friends all around, always there
sharing in your good fortune ...

And then this home, this perfect home, this realization of a dream
held another aspect, that it was no longer as it once seemed,
For eight long months this perfect home, began to reveal
An insidious secret to change the course of events
My once perfect home no longer wanted to be my residence,
And the nightmare began,
As toxic mold poisoned my cats, my friends, my business and me ...

Is access only granted when you hold the key
To benefits and advantages for those with whom you wish to be?
Am I remiss in my thinking that true friendship weathers
both good and bad seasons?
Not merely a convenience during the harvest moon ...

If I find myself wandering in the deserted realm of friendship
while famished in the time of lack,
This tends to beg the question, were those ever really true friends
or merely images that faded in the rain?

If you tell me you love me, and want me for all time
Is this only true when the music plays
When the birds sing, when the magic is there and smiles all around?
Does true love stop and walk away
When dark clouds appear on the horizon?
When gale force winds were just the beginning
of a full scale category five hurricane?
Along with the aftermath and deluge
Does true love simply vanish? Simply forget your name?
And you find yourself once again
left out in the rain ...

What is reality other than one's perception?
Who is it that determines success or failure?
I find it amazing those who find comfort in labels
Are rocked to their knees with sudden change,
If I own a Penthouse, you want to be near me
But if I am homeless, you don't want to know me,
What ever happened to all that was true?

Life changing lessons will certainly prove
At least to this humble traveler one basic fact,
The worth of another is revealed by what's within
Has no bearing at all on possessions and things,
Your heart is the treasure, your soul is the key
and the state of your mind determines what is to be ...

I will rise again like the Phoenix,
In complete and total victory,
Recover my losses and gain so much more
Restore all that was taken and know
I have weathered yet another storm,
And continued to believe in me, my dream, and my destiny
Even as others around me
faded in the rain ...

Fractured Love

Sailing through horizon's edge and dancing
With the cool summer's eve,
You came to me full of wonder and endless curiousity,
You sparked a certain flame inside, this fascinated soul of mine,
And for a time we were enchanted
With possibilities of each other and for each other,
I walked around then, in smiles and that certain glow
That signaled to others, I was close to the promise
Of something quite spectacular I perceived,
So long it had been, for me to even think
I could believe again, to ever dream again
To be again, someone with you ...

Unbeknownst to me at the time, and only to you alone
There was a insidious fracture that I could not see,
Blinded by the light of your dazzling smile and extraordinary good taste
Didn't see for a second, the disconnect just there,
To snap back the reality of what I once knew, this overwhelming power of love
from you, somewhere in the atmosphere from beginning to end
Was this line that had started to fray,
Others had no clue and ran headlong into your orbit,
Gliding along with reckless abandonment, so free,
Reign in their passions, never, not caring or seeing
The strain that it did place on you ...

My wonder of wonders, my dream did come true
Yet there was another, right along side
So quietly listening, and sometimes would say
Just a few words to get my attention,
'What happened to us, the magic we shared, where did that elixir vanish to?'
The fracture loomed larger, now wanting you back
And slowly but surely came through...

Those nights on my pillow, heavy hands on my bed,
Wondering what happened to this new found paradise?
Not knowing the fracture would raise it's ugly head
Just waiting and snarling to declare us both dead.
Of anymore magic, of any further light, not satisfied until
one of us said, 'No longer can I do this, no more can I take,'
This fractured romance never had a ghost of a chance...
