My Obsession

I thought of him, day after day, waiting for nights to come, with fear and great desire. Delusions, nightmares, an obsessive mind, a morbid romantic, struggling between fantasy and reality. I dreamed of love, and blood and death, tasting the copper, in my lips and hands. The beginning of this waltz, marked a lonely night. A dark room, a tale, a pair of emerald eyes.

He spoke of truths, and lies, the secrets of life, black-winged angels, demons in disguise. I felt his pain, the trouble in his heart; I thought I cared and just the same, I wanted to die. The wounded one, a man, a fiend, with the face of a child, I went to him on a fateful night. A trap, a cage, prison of death underground; days without end, cold nights and muffled cries.

...to be continued.

A Dream of Love

Eyes filled with wonder,
Yet so forlorn,
Our brittle lives washed with tears,
Here, where the fireweed takes root,
In the new grass,
Our love was born.

Our bodies naked, our flaws unfurled,
Entwined by hopes
That knew no bounds,
We drifted
Deep and far
From the blemished world,
That kept alive our childhood fears.
