She fakes her smile for those she loves
And quietly counts the minutes go by...

Darkness cascades down a chilled window
As lantern light illuminates from within...

The ceiling mocks me in the darkness,
Its fan slowly turning and pushing my thoughts...

Footsteps echo off
Trees illuminated by an ethereal glow...

Her kiss tastes of heaven, and of hell.
Brimstone colors her lips...

The thunderous pound
Of feet running over ground...

Rain caresses away the loneliness
Its droplets as soft as a lover's fingertips...

The ocean calls to me -
Her siren song so captivatingly harmonious...

I wander throughout the forest of dreams
And come across a hidden clearing...

She sits alone amongst her thoughts,
Fingers absently directing pen across paper...

Warm nights bring soft breezes
As I stare out a darkened window...

You look so pretty
Begging from beneath my boot...
