Bedroom Hymn
I'm in love and I was inspired. The use of religious terms is not meant to offend anyone.They say God is dead. I say God is reborn every single night whenever you make me scream his name. You see, no religion is as good as ours. No prayer sounds as beautiful as your heavy breathing beside my ears, and holy water doesn't feel nearly as cleansi...
It’s such a shameWe never touchedOr heard the other speak It’s such a shameWe fell apartBefore we got to meet It’s such a shameWords on a screenWere all the love we knew And such a shameThose words are goneIn cyberspace, with you.

Winter is coming
The seasons change no matter how much we don't want them to.. The days are shorter,They grow colder,They grow dimmer,A breeze from the north. Green fades to gray,Not steady each day,But slowly, inexorably,The summer will fade. I feel it in my bones.I feel it in my head.I feel it in my soul.Little to feed my heart....

Grazed by your eyesAs though you have touched meWatching your lipsWhile words emerge softly Speaking to meTelling me moreI just want to stay hereLetting them pour Silken, like scarvesThat trail through my mindThey calm, yet exciteAs I try to slow time And...
