“But I Must Admit I Miss You Terribly. The World Is Too Quiet Without You Nearby.”

“Perhaps we were friends first and lovers second. But then perhaps this is what lovers are.”

Crave

To share the joys and all the sorrows,

Know the pain and all the safest places,

And have the love to be empowered.

Be the strengths we're not afraid to borrow,

As our steps align in the shadows,

Together, facing new encounters.

You are the thing I crave to settle;

The thing I crave to have beside me.

You are the desire to leave me fulfilled.

The desire that consumes, my judgement leaves.

Breaking Waves

See the water receding back into the endless abyss

Feel the pull as it gathers strengths in the thousands

Tiny waves coalescing into one

Before it breaks upon the immovable cliff face

Nothing less will make a difference

But something as grand is only mutable

Until the edges are worn by the relentlessness

As the mineral is shaved away by the layers

To not be seen and understood

Until the final blow is dealt

The consequence becomes too shocking

For the cliff rooted in its position

More than a chip off the shoulder

A gaping hole of what once was

The water surrounding the broken piece

Consuming whole the bitterness of old

There is a time for traditions

But there is also time for change

To not allow the growth of all things

Is to let them be enraged

Chance

The wind cried out to my soul.

As I basked in the sea of clouds,

The desire of my heart,

Called out of its shroud.

For once I felt unencumbered.

It was almost like you

Were there with me.

For that one moment - ephemeral

Time stood still.

My entire body full of warmth.

Weightless in standing,

Like floating in the exosphere.

But time and circumstance are cruel beings,

Making life the hell we needed.

And as the gulls shattered my brief paradise,

The pit of fact settles back:

That we may never meet-

...I hope we meet.
