Love?Why is everyone nowadays so mechanical? After a string of dates and reasonably good conversation, it's a relationship. After some sex and arguments, it's over.

No one is in love anymore. No one can stay up all night thinking of 1,000,000 reasons why they love their partner. Stare at them while they sleep, counting their hairs, their pores scattered all over their skin. Smelling the scent their being exudes. Everyone is cautious, keeping a bit of themselves in a vault for safekeeping. Don't give it all or you'll lose it far too soon, they think.

Truly in love, just the thought can bring you to tears and distort the world around you. Until yo
My Seasonal LoverEach cloud that streaks the pale blue sky
Sends rain that greets awaiting plains
Millions of me fail sans one or two
That may likely land on you

I shine by day to light your paths
Come dark of night the stars assume
My hope that you might one day see
The hidden beauty that is me

Send me flames red as fallen leaves
Awaken me in the bloom of your embrace
Numb my pain like the first fall of snow
Yet leave a trace before you go

Until you return, my seasonal lover.
Angel in the TapestryThe silken cloak adorns your face
Though fraying at the seams
Beneath your eyes so boldly traced
A paradox of sullen dreams

In tongues we speak
At day we sleep
The summer night stands still
Your whispered kiss
My wintered soul
Your broken beauty makes me whole

So take my heart to mend your own
Your madness frees my mind
Let me taste your tragedy
The numbers never cease
Shallow passion piercing deep
Your halo, dear, is mine to keep
