Happily Ever After

He held the garbage bag between forefingertip and thumb, as if a more intimate contact would run the stench right into his bones. Approaching the dump, he pushed his sleeve up above his elbows, and taking in an almighty gasp, held his breath as he wildly flung the refuse into the fetid pile of rot.

Dusting his hands, he heaved a sigh of relief, and muttered "Good riddance" to no one in particular.

Job done, he walked back to where she waited, leaning against the side of his Phantom. She slipped her hand into the crook of his arm as he strode by, and they disappeared under the soft gaze of porchlights illuminating the driveway.

The Great Uncertain

I loved what you were wearing. You looked stunning.

I know I lost my temper. I know I shouldn't have. My shame brought me to your feet, and it is here I will stay.

I know you know I'm sorry. And that I love you. And I always will.

What I worshipped, stole my love away...

"Being emotional is a sign of weakness in guys..."

Fool me once, Shame on you.
Fool me twice, Shame on me.

I don't need to read about your fucking heartbreaks, nor do you need to know mine. At least, not for now. So I guess this is it, for a while. Hope you enjoyed your stay.

Goodbye, and have a nice life.

Heaven and Hell

Through the window, I see your shadow cast in the shape of a thousand desires. A heart bleeds in desperation, in the blind yearning for the beat of another.

Memories hearken to an erstwhile tryst, a conspiratorial congregation of two bodies forming a single shape. Smoke and vapours embraced the tense vibrance, as lovers shook their hair loose in the silence. A rivulet hushed through their secret garden, granting ghosts refrain in the twilight of their encounter. Silent locks found their keys, and fingers gleefully kissed quiet corners smiling in weary acceptance.

The energy bristled within its limits in warning. A spectacle of light and fire ensued. Two spirals intertwined, violently conducting a masquerade of struggle and passion. In frantic anticipation, the ground stood overawed, and the firmament withdrew. The rain lashed out, and the struggle changed dimensions, a tussle between the forces of the earth and the heavens.

Eons passed in this ceaseless battle. All that is known is the rain prevailed, though what remained was merely meagre in force. A hiss sat uneasy upon the land, spent in its endeavour. Neither fire nor light were ever seen again.

-

You are my only joy, raining down on me from mercied heavens.
And I, a wanderer, caught in deserts dry, for the rest of my times.

Arpeggi

I'd be crazy not to follow where you lead; your eyes, they turn me.

They turn me on to phantoms I follow to the edge of the earth. And fall off.

I get eaten by the worms and weird fishes.
Picked over by the worms and weird fishes.
I'll hit the bottom and escape.

Potent words. Crazy imagery. Reckless thoughts. Mute emotions.

I feel the oncoming onslaught of a kaleidoscopic vomitorium of the severest intensity.

God help me.

And you.....

I absolutely crazily adore you. I worship you, and the steps you take. From wherever to wherever else you move.... I beseech you; to grace me with your presence for the rest of my life. So the entire affair of living is a joy. An affair of heart and of spirit....
