I

a spring in my step

enfolded in clouds of fire

the lure of your smile

II

we walk hand in hand

into riots of color

a kiss in summer

III

from such great heights

we fall—miles where we began—

nothing here but pain

Deeper, deeper; I

drown in the essence of you.

Love pulls me under.

Brighter are my days,

wider are my smiles, my love,

for I am at peace.

Deeper, deeper; I

crawl into my shell, away

from all that was us.

Mere touch sends spasms

sparked electricity

current runs through me.

Dimmer ignition

seldom turned on by my juice

desires new voltage.

Transformer explodes

new stars expand horsepower

fresh conductivity.

I. The man in the moon

looked down upon you and I,

first kiss under stars.

II. Heavenly kisses -

Brightness in the darkest night -

Lingering, enough.

III. But dawn follows dark,

the blackness between the stars

swallows up the light.

The Falling

My stomach twists no

more; he has calmed the rough sea

of my heaving chest. 

The Beginning of the End

Roses look brighter,

peonies bloom in his eyes,

I am mesmerized.

The Falling Out

His eyes don't light up

with the same fury I knew.

Red lights and thunders crash. 

life was happier

and when we were together

the world was brighter

We both had demons

But our love was strong enough

To withstand the winds

Until it wasn't.

We began to fall apart

Broken and alone

Never felt this way

I hang on your every word

You are my sunshine

I would bleed for you

You ignored me for four months,

deaf to my heartbreak

Let's be friends again

I gave up on your straight self

My heart isn't yours

〡.

My first glimpse of you

I saw a clear sky, bright blue 

Golden eyes, for you

〢.

Life is rosy pink

You're in my thoughts, all I think

Love, written in ink

〣.

Colors have faded

Forbidden words have been shared

Us, alone again.

We drank a bottle

of red wine on our first date.

We laughed, kissed deeply.

He held my hand and

whistled Frank Sinatra; there's

something about him...

As time has gone by,

the silence is deafening,

the wine has run dry.

Falling in love:

Neversetting sun

Two swans speeding over lake

Neck by neck they fly

Being in love:

Cooling late night breeze

Blazing colours in soft leaves

Blackbird’s flute sings joy

Falling out of love:

Cranes glide under clouds

Cold rain falls on empty ground

Grey darkness devours
