I will give you
My heart
My body
My everything
I will give you
Your wishes
Your dreams
Your darkest desires
In return
I ask only
For your soul.

Fate Foretold
However hard I fight the inevitable,
strain against what fate has foretold,
I cannot stop what the feel of your skin
does to me.
Your lips soft
your touch tiny pinpricks
shivering across my skin.
Deny it,
rebel against it,
it does not matter.
In the end
I will always be
in body, mind and soul
yours.

Undone and Reborn
A moving poem I wanted to share.
Yep-she thought she was up against it
Never forgiven for sins
That she didn’t commit
Walking that broken road
Stoned, Icy Cold, Alone
Peeling her face off the pavement
His fist crushing her like cement
Cornered in the last round
Her body relenting for another pound
Cries for help never making a sound
She offered herself over to the battle
Her breath nothing but a rattle
Then words of comfort that began as a hum
Gave way to the beating of a drum
The rage of her warriors too strong to ignore
Help and Healing oozing from every pore
She learned to stand tall
Protect herself from another brawl
Now she knew there was no need to crawl
Moving forward in joy and delight
She is one fetching lovely sight
Taking on the world with all her might
I am dedicating this post to victims of abuse. There is a…

Hidden in Strength
They say I am the strongest
that I can weather any storm,
be there to hold things together
while others collapse and fall.
What they do not realize
is behind closed doors
where prying eyes cannot see
is the child inside,
who does hurt,
who does bleed.
That even those who seem strong
can, in time, break,
the strength draining away
revealing the truth hidden deep.
The strongest of us have a weakness.
Even the strongest of us can fall and weep.

Everything I Am – Destiny
I sacrificed everything for you!
I gave my heart,
my blood,
my life for you,
asking nothing in return.
And as I lay dying,
your loving eyes the last image in my mind,
haunting me,
tearing me apart
because those eyes were not for me,
but for someone you should despise.
Someone you should fear.
Someone who has captured your heart
as I once tried to do
and failed.
Will you remember me?
Will you remember by sacrifice?
Or will I become lost in the ages,
Forgotten mist in your mind.

The Truth That is Me
When the image I see
In my mind
No longer matches
The image I see
In my mirror
My eyes are finally open
To the truth
That is me

Forbidden
To touch
to feel
that which is forbidden.
To know that even though
the dangers that surround us,
pull us apart at every turn
will not destroy how your skin
feels against mine.
How the feel of your lips
send shivers across my skin
as we dance under the stars.
Promise me
you will not abandon me,
leave me to the cold darkness
where you found me.
Show me
what words cannot say.
That our love
jealous rage means to destroy
will survive the coming storm.
Promise me
that our love will transcend
time and space
and that the heat
you shine down upon me
will forever
warm my dark soul.
