Beautiful Strange Love

To some,
It seems fanatical or sad,
Or even strange,
The pull that we have had.

It binds us heart to heart,
But there are some who do not see,
the love I have for you,
The love you have for me.

The recipe is simple,
It is brazen and witty,
Filled with gentle love,
Combined with a pinch of silly.

It’s so hard for them understand
How strong it must be
The love I have for you
The love you have for me

Part of me is lost,
And feels so alone,
Your absence is a nightmare,
That cuts me to the bone.

We are the match
That no one could forsee,
The love I have for you,
The love you have for me.

I reach out and feel,
But I know what I will find,
Just empty air,
And your smile to ease my mind.

I wish for your return
To have again The
love I have for you
The love you have for me

Ephiphany

To Live, to love

To dream, to hope

These are the threads of Life

One CAN fester on the seasons of past

Brooding over wasted moments

And drowning in the hatred of old foes

Disdain CAN boil in the

Bellies of Man

Until the final drop of

Kindness is drained from their hearts

But forever WILL unhappiness be

Their own demise

I was of such mind

Swimming in a sea of melancholy

Haunted by the torment wrought

By others

The seed of discontent

Coursing through each fiber Of my being

I could not Live

For misery was life

The forced hunger for false love

Was none but a mockery

Of its true glory

So clouded by the gothic dreams

Of unceasing discourse

I could not rest or hope

For the path I trampled on

Was a barren land of faked niceties

And secret prayers of vengeance

Then with the Swiftness of a arrowed Star

Shot from Orion’s bow

Epiphany struck the confines of my heart

And shook the darkness

Out of my eyes

After what felt like ages

Serving the agents of unwarranted malice

Light flowed into me

The brightness and vividness

Of life was mine to grasp

I could pluck the rosebuds of love

From the very air

That teemed around me surrounding my being

When before I laid through sleepless nights

Twitching from sorrows thorn

In my side

Instead the images of content

Graced my newfound dreaming state

And hope, sweet hope

Was mine for the taking

No longer do I drown in sorrow but

Commit myself to

The promises of my own worth

And the power of Life

I bathe in the caress of love,

Am held with the grandeur of my dreams

And given the hope that

Tomorrows' splendor

Lays in the eyes of those I love

And is more than yesterdays' grief

That spawned from the tongues of those I hated
and peace to those that have hated me

Vivid

Dripping Heat
Sweat billowing
Skin to skin
True appealing
Pumping blood
Through warm 
Bodies
Wet and winded
Breathing heavy 
Screaming loud
Begging
For you not to stop now
Hunger 
Satisfied
Letting go 
Of the tension held inside
Moaning eyes rolling
Peaking desire
Of that one moment
When that grin seeps 
Across your face
Showing that pinnacle reached
Quiet stillness
Strong smells 
Of your sweat and screams
Everything that I can see 
In my day to day dreams

Second Chance

I wish that the world had given you

the chance that you deserved

I should have acted on

the sorrow I observed

I'll never know what it was like

to go through all your pain

But I know life without you

will never be the same

Though it was not I

that reached out to find that you weren't there

I can see the faces of those

that find life without you hard to bare

They have not

been the same

since the good no longer

outweighed the pain

You'll be missed

Its so clearly written in their eyes

Of all those people that hurt without you

Just listen to their cries

I hope now

you are finally at peace

But saying that I'm sorry

Isn't much to say the least

May there now be

Rest for your soul

Let the pain of life be washed away

and I hope now you are whole

I'll miss you, Jamie

Even if I barely knew you

I know that you were great at heart

When I look at the sorrow of your friends, I know it must be true

In Honor of Miss Jamie Huffman: You are Missed
