I saw in your eyes
two universes collide
The cosmic dust
Guiding me home
I saw in your smile
The curve of the earth
And in your happiness
I found mine

Your hands were strangers at first
Greeting my bashful skin
Trying to figure out the way
Wanting to unveil
every curve
Jump off every edge
Your hands
were strangers at first
Fingertips
Tracing my scars
Your hands
were strangers at first
Exploring every crevice
Cupping all the pain
You hands were strangers at first
And now
they write poetry on my skin

I see the beauty in your brokenness
Your scars don't scare me
It's hard to break your walls
As hard as it is to let you in
Your body cracked to let the hint of sunlight through
But here I promise you
I'll love you when you're a storm
That wrecks me
I'll love you when you're a still day
That perplexes me
I'll love you when you're a season
That changes me
I'll love you when you're a drizzle
That touches me
Ill love you not because I have no choice
But because you saw through my twisted alleys
But because you saw through my faults
But because you chose to love me

She heard the knock on the door
'I know you're in there!'
She didn't reply. She Didn't move.
'OPEN the door'
She clenched her fists
'Let me IN'
She took a deep breath
She reached for the revolver
She unlocked the bolt
The whiff of alcohol scented the air
Red eyes greeted pale ones
And she pulled the trigger

He lay there. Broken.
Blood on his hands
he caressed the scars on his wife's face
As she lay lifeless in his arms

He saw her
The day they met
With wind blown hair and laughing eyes
He saw her
the day she left
With sweat stained hair and a lifeless smile
He lay there, transfixed
as if staring into another time.
as if staring into an alternate space right there on those dusty wooden tiles where she existed.
He lay there, unmoving
Where he held her close
and they swayed
with the ballerina in the music box going round and round
he opened his eyes
to a phantom embrace
He opened his eyes
And his arms held nothing but the air.
He opened his eyes
His lips as parched and broken as they were.
The ballerina stood still
he slowly walked
across the wooden tiles
And crossed the space where they had their first dance
Crossed the space where he kissed her for the first time
And he kept walking
Until with closed lids
He saw her
Wind blown hair and laughing eyes

The sin growing heavier
in our hearts
Desire making it's way in
Slowly
Subtly
The need for flesh on skin

The warmth calling
to my shivering spine
Fingers trailing
down my back
As we intertwine

Mind overflowing
with just the thought
Maybe i have gotten
The peace that I sought

Every touch
Ignites a fiery spark
The intensity
Leaving more than just a mark

With you
So close
It's hard to breathe
And yet somehow
Your touch
makes me feel complete

Your face like a picture
Touches my very soul
My body is your canvas
So paint me whole

Isolated,by choice,she was
She felt safe on her own
Trust was a fragile thing
And her heart,had long since
turned to stone

Some tried , some didn't
But she remained
unchanged
Until one traveller
Walked down this
path estranged

He passed the cotton barriers
And reached deep within
He accepted all her goodness and every committed sin

Wiping the tears of blood
Taming that dark murmur
Even though it got the taste of mud
On his shining armour

This was a time ago
And my heart
he till holds
As I succumbed
and I stripped
and he saw me
Naked,both body and soul
