Things That Were

Streaming tears
eyes of red
sobs of misery

fleeting sadness
growing hatred
burning hot

so vile a feeling
despising all
seeking solitude

no more please no more
I can't take it
let this end

why is it only me
always alone
forever hated

so what now
can it change
shall I be denied

all this used to be
all under lock and key
to be forgotten forever more

Intimate Anticipation

Heart set ablaze
a soul awakens
reflected in the eyes

she strides gracefully
without acknowledging
slight sidelong glances

eyes of passion
senses a stir
along with sweaty palms

smiling knowingly
she half dances while walking
sparkle in her eyes

fingers caress the neck
orbs lock to one another
ecstasy in her silken kiss

electric touch
pins and needles
spine shivers
