Shattered Love

I held the hand that wasn't there.
I felt the relief when you left.
Time heals all wounds, for a while
I didn't care. That 'while' still
remains, the heart is cold...
I am no longer there. You are no
longer here, I no longer stare
at the photo that once stood upon
the shelf. I no longer smell your
sweet perfume, wipe the remains of
the lost love. Re heat the menu..
to feel your skin, to lie beside
you, crumpled sheets where we once
lay, battered pillows of friendly play.
The crowd do gather, it's cold out
side, once again you are by my side.
The mourners gather, the rain clouds
form. My tears have dried, they no
longer fall. I'm frozen, shaking..
cold. My blood stained skin...
where the thorns has pierced me
within, the love that abandoned me.
Cast aside this red rose, down to the
sodden earth below. Dark is where you
belong, from where you shall lay..
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust....
from my hands the roses fall.
And I shall walk away.

Come dine with me

If you were here with me, the world would stand still.
If I were there with you, I'd invite you for dinner.
With candles.... should I light them?
I'd slowly undress you with my eyes.
Sit you at my table, let you view the menu.
Then slowly....devour your soul... sucking and
gently chewing, lightly...inwardly digesting every
delectable inch of your divine flesh....
we'd bathe in the moonlight..howl as the clock struck
midnight and run naked into the sunrise...
Come dine with me... come taste my love.
