Shattered Your words pierce me Punching holes through my heart and mind Their impact shatters the mirror The bright reflective surface that we are born with It breaks with each crushing, painful word Words to try and fix it Gluing each piece back together But the pieces never fit as they were The mirror loses its shine Slithers are lost forever Sharp edges and scars remain The mirror is left dull and tarnished Its light is never the same Words can change things forever Shattered, incomplete and broken Choose them wisely and spare that pain

Tides Of Love Standing on the shoreline Toes tickled by the sand Watching the glistening water As it laps where i stand Your love is like the tide It crept up on me, gently touching New sensations against my skin Sometimes your waves crash over me Sending me spinning and upside down I lose all sense of direction Scared i might even drown Other times it is gentle Just a touch A feeling A soft and mild caress Sometimes you are distant Far away from me I can hear you But you are on the horizon As far as you can be Sometimes moving forward Sometimes moving back Ebb and flow Rough and calm Sometimes blue and sometimes oily black This tide is always moving Never staying still Deep and shallow I love you and always will

Bruised Valentines weekend You told me your plans Marriage and certificate To hold in your hands My world stood still Thoughts racing through my mind What will happen in the future What changes will we find I know the reason And I know things are the same But my heart feels bruised My soul feels the pain A formality Official legality A piece of paper A finality

A Kiss A kiss Soft caressing lips Gentle touch Whispering without words Your breath entwined with mine The world disappears We are alone Sensual sensations Transporting Awareness heightened Transfixed Lost in a timeless moment The clock stops ticking The world stops turning All consumed Perfection Connection A true loves kiss
