Pouring rains batter the old window panes, howling winds rattle weathered wooden window frames, thoughtful moments over open flames, bottles of red wine flowing through my veins,
Dark grey skies and fleeting lanterns in the distance, smokey maple embers fill the room with warmth and reminisce, thick woolen blankets and open true crime books, candle lit dinners of hearty winter soups,
Winter, my love, to some you are nothing but cold, however to me your yearly visits warm my soul
You didn’t hear me, did you? My face started to shiver, the sky went dark as my hands started to quiver, thunder roared from the skies, my blood ran cold as an icy river
You don’t hear me, do you? I felt my mouth run dry, felt like years gone by since I felt the urge to cry, a single tear dropped from my eye, so much time wasted but yet I still try, you grab my hands, why do I still feel shy, I still love you, but should you ask, I would deny
You won’t hear me, will you? I finally resign, the skies open and the sun begins to shine, warm my blood once more, light the candles to my shrine, my body, my temple, perfect architecture of my design, I don’t need you to notice me, I’ll be just fine
Your mind a treasure trove, your body a burning stove, your soul a peaceful land, love more bountiful than desert sand
I can’t help but stare into your eyes as they lead me on a new adventure, what an angelic presence, no conjecture, heart to heart, high blood pressure, let our spirits moan with the tone of a heavenly falsetto
Take my hand and fling me to new lands unknown, let us float through the stratosphere, swim the caverns of the deepest seas, dance throughout the galaxies and set our imaginations free, babe become as one with me
The first time we met, I had no idea you would change the way I see the world, I had no idea life could feel this way, I would gladly take your hand into the sunrise to seize each day
You opened my eyes to colours and the way that they feel, the passion of a fiery crimson sunset, sweet serenity of amber fields and rolling green hills, the soothing azure of an ocean riddled with ripples
You helped me hear words unspoken, realise dreams untold, to sit surrounded by darkness and watch the beauty unfold, be cleansed by the purity of a blinding light, to find what matters most, to stand and fight
You showed me the world through your charming eyes, so full of hope, your touch in anxious moments has helped me cope, your calming voice in the silence of deafening depression, your acts of kindness when faced with raw aggression
You understand me and I pray I understand you too, soulmates on an astral plane, a real love so true, everyday a new connection, our true love brand new
You drive me crazy, you make my day, you give me headaches, when you moan to play, you drive me crazy and that’s okay, because I wouldn’t spend my time with you, any other way
You’re always hungry, where do you keep all that food, I’m sorry that dad’s not always in the mood, understand that I’m tired and work hard everyday, to give you the best, in every way
Know that dad loves you and you’re his best friend, I’ll always be there for you, you can always depend, bring me your troubles, bring me your peace, we’ll share every victory and every defeat
So sleep sweet my baby, I’ll be here when you rise, you’ll always be my baby, no matter your size
I saw all of your red flags, embraced your every flaw, you thought it would deter me, but it made me love you more
An open book of concealed codes and cryptic messagery, I hang upon your every word, your mind a gold mine to me
Your body a map of endless treasures, danger in graceful motion, I can provide it with endless pleasures, I give you my body’s devotion
So open up your heart to me, as I’ve opened mine to you, on bended knee I promise thee, our love shall remain true
I have spent countless nights beneath the stars, surrounded by woods and the company of wildlings, lifetimes in icy tundras, a chilling loneliness the frost brings
Scorching days of desert heat, blistering signs of near defeat, the crashing waves of ocean storms, homeless nights out on the street
I have set foot on paths uncovered, where no man has stepped before, layed my head on beds of flowers, where no heads have layed for sure
I have seen wonders of the modern world and Marvels of the past, but a beauty such as my lost love, has yet to be surpassed…
I can not be the only lonely soul drifting through existence, a face in the crowd with my head in the clouds, the persistence of distance consistent
I can not be the most hollow of hearts on a path traveled by so many, we walk side by side yet held hostage by pride, show contempt so contently I resent thee
I can not be the most morbid of minds in a world so full of sorrows, haunted by your death as you took your last breath, for tomorrows not promised just borrowed
I stand before you, sweet Valentine, a gaping hole in my chest, naked and vulnerable, the blood falls from my breast
Eyes wide, filled with fear, my heart in my hands, every second a century, I fall to my knees as you stand
Please accept my heart’s tribute, blood soaked offering, you smile, my heart stops, I don’t know what to think
You brush my hair back and raise me up from my knees, you reach in your chest and offer your heart to me
The most carnal exchange, our love story begun, your heart beats within me, two lovers become one
