WRONG

You were wrong,
You were wrong all along.

I was placed under your microscope
blurred by the hunger to shatter this spirit,
in an attempt to calm the chaos of your own insanity.

I was broken you said
over and over and over.

But you were wrong.
I was a blooming flower
up against thorns of hate.
Age, my handicap 
Fear, my guide
too young to understand the 
meaning of relentless malice.

Yet the day came when my strength
surged to meet the rising sun.
Your words became hollow and meaningless,
much like my confidence
you had readily crushed.

Your voice is now mute.
My recovery, my return to love,
graced with miraculous forgiveness.
To you, I send love and light.
An impractical teacher,
who's led me to the woman I am today.

HOLLOW

I am hollow,

fragile,

candidate to the obscurity of darkness

which snatches me

to the bottomless pit

where you are nowhere to be found.

Yet this despair

can never dim

the magic of your smile

throbbing to restore my light of day

The tremble of your touch

which hails the

flamed desire

within our passionate hunger.

I can never leave you.

My light may be dim

but darkness,

a maniac in my journey,

incapable of kinging my castle.

For you I am grateful.

forever, my beloved.

SWEET HARMONIES

We swayed with harmonies

of sweet destiny.

All deaf

to the sounds

only our essence could claim.

Light on our feet,

carried away by the melodies

of our own desires.

Embrace me with your

urge to love me.

Slide my body

to the neighboring

silence of your capture.

This is where I belong,

this is where you truly exist.

Passion's eternal song,

tattooed into our infinite reality

unending to lover's rhythms.
