Justin,


I bleed in darkness waiting for your touch

waiting to breath

dusk will slide its woven tapestry
of small lines

the impalpable ash


that I might be:

Autumn's fire
begs me to reach for you ---
along pages of winter wood
for long nights
of harvesting the heart

if I dream let it be
        it is the only art I desire

you would then know
the taste of water
and how beautiful the echo can be

between bend and seek

the dream is up over the edge of the world


I bleed  between moment and memory

waiting to breath


kill me softly again



You’re thinkin so complicated
I’ve had it all up to here
But it’s so overrated
Love and hate it
you’re so jaded
And I’m the one that jaded
you

you would then know
the taste of water
and how beautiful the echo can be

between bend and seek

the dream is up over the edge of the world

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

your muse curls words around the edges and pulls the moon closer to midnight...
the echo is your beautiful poetry.

*tossing you rose petals and orchids*



Im not asking for a moment, all I want is time
I want to take this lonely, but Ive no place to be
so baby let me breathe you in and take you into me

I could feel your want, your desire, very passionate...as to be expected coming from you.

Reminds me of the song "Killing me softly with his song"...love that song by the way...

I love how you place words together...

Whoa!!!! Girl, awesome writing here

I agree, you gotta do a book, and if you do publish, I would love to know how and where to get a book!

You do write the loveliest love...

Autumn's fire indeed, sweet Lauren.

I'll pray your warmth will stay throughout winter.
