The shadows of the night claw desperately to these rocks,Roiling in fear at the thought of the breaking of DayAs it pours blinding light and heat over the soil and moss,Rending the darkness into pieces,Exploding the monsters to nothingness,Squeezing rainbows into the dewdropsBefore wiping them up and consigning them to feral history. These grey-green morning…
The lamplight glows across the face of my dreamsAs reality hides from these ragged, ripped seams.A kiss in the shadows and the touch of your handIs all that I crave in this dreaming wasteland.These fears flee your smile as I think of your face,And I know I abide without shame and disgraceAs I lie in…

The rosy pink blush of dawn and the cerise of the rising sunWarm my face as you sleepily smile at me in the morning. Luscious green emerald depths of the grass soothe my soul as you hold me in your armsAnd murmur to me of our growing closeness. White delicate blossom petals swirl like sweet…
This poem only available on Lush Stories The grey skies of the morning howl the dawn’s awakening screams;The lacklustre pearl scuds across the moors of my dead hopeAs the wind claws my hair from the band that holds it back.I hide between the rocks that can’t shelter me from the cold;I shiver with the memories…
Dear God, is it too much to ask for companionship in this lifeAs I walk this path of loneliness you dealt for me, as you watch from aboveSomeone to hold my hand, to kiss my lips, to smile and assure me compassionTo show me the meaning of love, with every beat of my heart that…

For Alex, running into Carrie was exactly what his famished, exhausted soul needed, and he…
My heart rolls through the day and never leaves a mark. It is too dry and injured to be more than a placeholder of what could be. How do I regain my bearing? How do I recall the sweetness of life that eats the honeycomb and drinks your body in like rain and sunshine. Touch…
