Across an extensive, moonlit labyrinth Intricate trials must be faced and won Innumerable traps hidden in hedges and plinths All to prove that you are my sun Stepping over immobile skeletons Past suitors who failed before me My darling, they are irrelevant For I shall gift you love as endless as the sea Navigating through winding paths Bones aching, muscles burning Focusing on the memory of your laughs You are worth a tho...

I feel that happiness is perhaps not meant for meContented, stable, smiling, satisfied, maybe thoseIt's meaning lost, I search but still can not seeLost in my reverie, to decide and define or to loseHappiness, sold to us, bought both lock and keyTouching, tangible, it's price marked down each dayFork over my heart to its tag or forget and be freeAnswers I seek in friends, family, anyone who comes my wayAsking again, who h...

Paint my lips by kissing meSculpt me in your armsThis room shall be our studioWhere we create our art Too fluid to be capturedAnd set within a frameToo sacred to be notedOr garner any fame Yet lasting and indelibleThroughout both our livesEach of us a masterpieceIn the other’s eyes.

The whir of your approach is feltPreceding your arrivalElectric waves pulse through the airThe atmosphere alive With silver shivers of your touchBefore I feel your handsAnd visceral excitementEnvisioning our plans My mind flits like a crazy beeNo non-us thought breaks throughLittle is accomplishedWhile I wait for you Imagining the time we spendPlays over in my brainA well-loved racy movieThat never feels the same As one i...

Friendship is love and devotion Something sacred, filled with emotion Some don't get the serious notion That some friendships run deeper than the ocean This is my devotion to my friend A friendship I know will never end All my love to her I send Our mutual affection transcends She is mine to cherish Without her love I would perish Some say that together we're quite hellish Others have named us quite devilish But she is th...

You are the one, The light of my life. You mean the world to me, Morning, noon and night. You are my heart, My soul's only desire. You are everything good, My spirit's only fire. Through the good and bad, By you I'll always stand. For me, You're the only man.

Spellbound by your entireness, Your mind and its eminence; This canticle is your spell. Your musings are, the music, Your voice is, the melody, Your touch is, our tempo. The canticle embraces Our promise to honour Our sanguine union. A long sultry kiss; A warm tingling note Lingers on our lips. Acquiesce completely, Desirous bodies dance Into Symphony ascension. A whispered chorus Of wondrous harmony Ignites a crescendo....

Chapter 34 The Sign of the Rose “I have the information that will stop the war on Ashtarma. Don’t you have any mercy?” I turn to Yasen. His eyes grow big and he enters my mind, hurting me in the process again. No, they don’t care about the bloodbath on Astharma! They think if Kallitris did it to them, the least they can do is let his people suffer. Nice going. “This woman is over 35% sian. She is the first successful cros...

Pathways to new lovers Lit by pale moonlight. Whispers of desire echo Their hunger in the night. Endless devotion promised Comes from deep within Perpetual affections are Journeys we freely begin. Desire burns in endless flames, Enraged passion to our core, Trickling sweat, molten lava Is when I became yours. Our journey suddenly halted, The scales heavy on one side. For me there was no warning Your devotion, it had died....

It has been some time and I am still here. Did you think like the others I would go? It will be some time more before you know How much you have meant and how you are dear. Asking for little I stand by your side, Giving with nothing expected from you. Offering friendship is all I can do Because it is all that you will abide. Off in the distance the end will draw near For such as I who have so many years, But you will be t...

The shrill sound of the tea pot screaming shattered Max’s reverie. He was remembering when he and Rosie met forty years ago. He looked down at the cup, breathing a deep sigh, remembering the vision of the two of them rowing down the Charles River that May morning, the night after their first date, the first of many before they married, both of them still in their senior years of college, he at Harvard, she at Radcliffe, a...

You said "I love you.. what does that mean"? Your voice quivering in doubt. Lost and confused as you ever have been, Not knowing what your love was about.. Sorrow and regret surrounded by guilt, Your feelings unsure and kept hidden. The strongest bond that ever was built, Now weak and broken and held forbidden. Pushing away what once was held dear, An occasional memory stirred. Comfort and love has now turned to fear, Of...

He catches her eyes, and smiles all grand,He revels in her beauty,He saunters over, and asks for her hand,With unbridled desire, t'was never in duty.Her heart soars, no longer lonely,And she accepts in glee and grace,She sees she's found her one and only,With a growing smile upon her face.Gazing into the deep wells we call eyes,They twirl around the floor,They make it their own, it's no surprise,You feel it in your core.T...

His face was once a hard wall, a mask behind which he hid every emotion.Slowly, Day by day, I patiently chipped away,Piece by piece.And now...when he smiles,It takes my breath away.
