"What is it that you wish?"

"I wish to meet someone whom I could watch 'The Sound of Music' with.

I wish to be loved softly, with the gentleness of an early summer breeze, the fierceness of a winter gale, the playful touch of a spring whiff, and the delicate but exquisite chill of an autumn flurry."

"McTodd's sister was a peculiar lady, in the sense that she did peculiar things. She was also a woman of few words, meaning that she had never paid attention to more than a few words in the codswallop of her seemingly mundane existence"

The Purple Dress

Waiting until the tests got over

Purple dress, Orange skies

Waiting for this fight to blow over

Blinking back tears from my eyes

Unwrap her as a gift

from a thrift store

She was in need of a lift

and then hold the door

Silver and gold and pearls

won't dull my pain

For that I need to walk away

walk away in the rain

I say I miss you, I say I love you

But you turn away from me

Why is this form of torment a pain so true

to hurt me, when I gave my heart to thee

Sing for me

Sing for the darkness in my soul

Bind yourself to me, bind us with the threadbare fabric of the bedsheets we laid upon-

Speak to me in darkness, in the hollow of our bones-

And lay me to rest on the slab of rock you held me close-

Enbalm me in silk and satin of your slippery tongue

Silvertongue, Blue skies, Gold dust- I shall never exist, I shall cease to be real in your memories

[libraryintheattic]

in words unsynced, I ask you-

Tell me all, tell me nothing.

tell me nothing if not the truth~

But you left me sore, left me tossing and turning~

Clear skies long past

My heart is bleeding, 

it bleeds in poetry and pearls. 

I remember us in bed; 

in the stories of an old world. 

You asked me to never leave, 

you begged me to stay. 

But is it not a dark time, a dark place 

for now you give me away~ 

Oh, my heart is bleeding 

But the earth has now burst-

You were my skies of blue,

Yet I cry in tears of gold dust 

So tell me, love- 

Tell me why you leave me now 

My pain is never greater 

Your words remain~ 

~etched on my soul
