Betrayed…

Empty, hollow, a never ending void, the way you left me feeling when you left my heart destroyed,

Shattered, broken, a mere shell of a man, your actions were so ruthless I simply could not understand,

Lost, anxious, hopelessly depressed, questioning my worth because I gave you nothing but my best,

Shocked, confused, where’s my self respect? I invited all this pain when I accepted this neglect

Letter to my lover

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

The true love of my life, my beautiful wife!

Sweet Valentine

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
