Musings On Love

Today,
A couple were at rocks on love
Two troubled people seeking security
If only they'd knew it was in each other's company

Today,
A couple were beginning in love
Two fresh babies testing out the world
If only they'd knew they held it in their hands

Today,
A couple were going strong with love
Two long lovers surviving harsh reality
If only they'd knew nothing more could break them

Today,
A couple were dreaming for love
Two chance friends painting castles
If only they'd knew foundations could be built

Perhaps they do
And like so many before
Will continue down the roads of love
To their destiny

Scents

A sniff of hellish stench
summons a picture of man uncleansed.
A frown, gradual intoxification of
nasal senses. Sudden impulse.
A mask of aghast.

A whiff of heavenly scent
conjures an image of distant friend.
A smile, gentle stirring of
slumbering memories. Sudden rush.
A blast from the past.

Wafting smells forming ethereal visage
Invisible presence imprinted subconsiously
Formless arms wrapping around tightly
Vapours of warmth shielding protectively

So just close your eyes,
Inhale.
I'll be there.

Silent Conversation

Alright, I'm wrong.
But what took you so long?
True, I should have seen it.
I didn't, I'm sorry!
I'll change. Promise.
You're still my friend right?
Say yes.
Please!
Oh, I'm not supposed to order.

Help me then if you're a friend!
What about helping me find
my sunshine, my light my life?
Have you forgotten and took them
all away instead? I know not
what I'm doing. Don't leave me!

I give up.
Really, I don't.
At least I don't want to.
But it's hard to hold on.
I'll change for myself.
Will you?
That was a request.
Different.
If only you'd come back.

Does it
matter
to you
that you still
matter
to me?
