Ignorance breeds anger
Anger breeds distrust
So I walk away.
Understanding comes slowly
Remorse with sorrow is pain filled
Forgiveness a dream
Yet hope blooms eternal.
Warm hearth beckons
Will transgressions be forgotten
Will the door open
Or will it remain firmly closed
Love forever out of reach
Ending life as known
While darkness descends
Eternally

Secrets to keep
Secrets destroy
Secrets heal
Secrets misplaced
Are secrets that sleep
Until time reveals
What secrets keep

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.

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.

To trust once trust is broken
To love again once love has died
Difficult at best
Impossible for most
But possible none the less
When necessity is born
And choices are taken away
To overcome impossibilities
So life may survive another day
