Cold air kisses the tips of their ears. The leaves on the trees gently sway.
The sliver of silver high up in the sky announces the end of the day.
Arms entwined, the lovers snuggle upon a garden seat.
Lilac fills the garden air with perfume thick and sweet.
The bobbles on their hats kiss as both their heads tip back
To watch the scattered diamonds in a sky of velvet black.
The lovers watch the tiny stars connect to tell their tales
Of love and hate and war and peace and all that that entails.
The lovers kiss, content their love will never, ever die
Just like the myths and legends forever written in the sky.

He Loved Her...
Can't speak yet she hasn't forgotten how to think Can't feel yet she still knows what is real Cornered she just cowers Tallying the hours until she's free Struggling in darkness to find the key's grace That will relieve her from this suffocating embrace

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
