A Random Draft
She’s so concerned I’m not quite sure what for I’ll take it from here She won’t have to worry The grass grows greener for her -k.r.r.
Several Sentiments
The sound of a voice being the cure for all disquietude. The knowledge of a certain person being the greatest enrichment to life. The way her hand felt in yours being the ultimate key to happiness. The company she provided being warmer than any sunny day. -k.r.r.
I’ll Take it From You
Do you resent it? A shaky hand In warm white light Shivering, quivering; Won’t you receive it? I think you resent it. A cursory glance, The light dimmed in your eyes; What happened to that sparkle? Swallowed whole in a vacuum. Spit it out. A pelican, a heron, a stork Carrying gifts Withholding verity. Illusion…
I Want To Know You
Like a song I once loved And forgot the name of, Reaching the end of the hike And finding a view more beautiful than I imagined, A forgotten memory that suddenly returned And made me smile for the rest of the day, The meaning behind my dreams And why I wake up to my outstretched…
A Perspective on Galatea
Within an instant, I was spellbound. My eyes will dry out long before I blink and open them again, Or I risk it all being a dream. I will brand her smile into my brain. My heart fluttered, My ideal surrendered; Before me was a woman Who far surpassed what my mind could conceive. How…

Its prowl went beyond the horizon, From uncharted territory, it would make its own. Here it leaves its marks, In excess, of course. Unbridled love is akin to wrath. You…
Unfriendly Company
I have no one but my ghosts Amalgamations of moments and dreams They’re just shades My imaginary muses I crave something corporeal Instead of these mornings in which I wake To my outstretched hand, my fingers closing in Grabbing hold of nothing but phantasm Wisps in the air jeering with unkind taunts But never mind…
Love is a Prayer
I cup your hands with mine like prayer And I spoke of you like I spoke of God. The smatterings of man, You’ll have to excuse it; I can only describe you in revelations. You’ll have to excuse me again, I want to be more than your loyal servant. My blade is not just yours,…
