EMPTY

Alone 

Sorrow sodden songs

Stir sweet thoughts of pain

Memories of cold Suns and Scorching rain

Of sweet kisses and Sour tongues

Empty silence filled with thoughts 

Of first hurts and deep cuts

Here, Midas Curse rusts

And Vinegar nourishes

Venus words sweet and wry 

My temple takes repeated shelling 

My heart caves in,bats' dwelling 

Emptiness Sired by Love's Lyre
 

Empty like the tomb on the third day

Like the wine has seeped away from the kegs

Through holes punctured by trust

All that is left are dregs

My Heart is Empty.

IF I COULD LOVE...

If I could love...

I would love you

Make your voice my song 

Your soul my mirror

The letters I write would be long

Of tales and of me the hero

If I could love...

We would bring Shakespeare to life

And Tristan & Isolde would never die

Our love would bloom like rye

And of it we would be drunk

Only if I could love...

Until then...Come 

Let us be friends

Hold my hand while I hold back

For I will love you when Thomas believes

Our laughter shall ring far

And our tale even farther 

Of a Prince who could not woo his Princess

And the pall of friendship I will bear

But in time,open your gates to me

For even friendship comes with benefits
