I was looking for heaven but I found the Devil when I found you. Twisting and pulling me down. Dragging my soul towards you. And inviting me to stay. With longing and lust. With your passionate kisses and electrifying touches. I was damned in that moment that I met you. But I was an unwitting … Continue reading Devil-led Love
Do you think we could share just one more kiss? I want to see if I can find closure on your lips. And solace in your taste. How about one more breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'd be full and happy until we part our ways. But maybe we could grab dessert in one of the … Continue reading Shattered Glass Hearts
Love has always frightened me, I thought of it as painful and unnecessary A weakness that I could not bring myself to endure. But upon a fateful winter’s afternoon In a quiet part of a somnolent town Our eyes met and, in that moment, I knew I was doomed. Two hearts beating alone But simultaneously … Continue reading Painful Love
Pastel lit skies that give way To warm orange glows And a white hue that surrounds the darkening trees. A mirrored reflection in the River Tone Idly passing by. Stopping to take that picture perfect moment. The moment before the sun sets on something beautiful. And engulfs it in darkness. The River Tone - Taunton, … Continue reading Picture Perfect Moment
Leaving the comforts of a solaced blanketed bed Enrobed with hope and romance for the day ahead Taking inspiration once more to do as a butterfly does For I once was that beautiful winged creature, all aflutter.

I think it takes somebody pretty incredible to love someone who is broken. To look past those broken shattered pieces, those gaps and faults and to view the complete and the whole. They have to be a gentle and caring sort of person. To treat someone with so much care and not worry about getting … Continue reading Broken
A carpet of darkness shrouds around our meeting with the nights stars shining in a familiar ardent dance. The taste of vanilla spiced rum lingering on our moistened lips as you lean from the room into the eve taking a satisfied drag from your lit cigarette. I watch and listen as you regale me with … Continue reading Regaled Anecdotes
And once more as the darkness engulfs herAnd the duvet becomes her comforting solance. A solidarity tear dwells and fallsRunning down the curves of her pillow hidden face.Shortly followed by the rapid succession of more warm anguished torment.Trying not to give in to the sobbingMindful not to wake the nearest inhabitant. Trying to rationalise with … Continue reading Apologetic Nectar
