Ashes, Traces, Smoke and a Last Time

the colors of love
ran through my fingers
like the cunning
sands of time

---

i wanted to believe in
love
until i heard your wretched
heart's
shattering sobs.

---

somehow love
forgot to
heal me

---

we had ten days
of perfect happiness
until
love made itself comfortable in the
cobwebs of our hearts

---

why is it that
i share a different heartbeat
than yours, yet feel you
breathe in my heart?

---

this bubble of
one-sided love
is merely
slowing the eventual
truth

---

today
i felt love sit next to me
and i watched how
my heart cringed from the
fatality of what it might do to me

again

---

i wish i could trace your body with
my fingertips,
i wish i could lace my tongue around
yours,
i wish i could kiss you with every breath
of my soul

---

luckily,
i found the grace of god
knit me into a safe
corner when love had forsaken
me

---

i am surprised
that we weren't good
enough for love

---

i would rather not
love at all
than have a half-love
with a promised
pain

---

the unfinished
streams of love
linger like
a damp morning

very profound M. and very true..

only love can heal
scars from the past,

but the wounds
that love inflicts
they always last...

Grey Shades - Ok.

amitken - There you go. Now you might understand my discontent about love's large injustice.

Grey Shades - No modelling: bad English weather.

SwB - Which guy is a fool? There're so many referred to here!!

Manic Street Preacher - Thanks and welcome. I'll read your blog eventually (caught up with work for now).

Billy - Is that your wisdom, generously shared with me? :) I disagree. Love is not all and love is not none. Love is overhyped and forced to be something it is not.

k.. i assume u din want ne ripples on de nxt post.. but i really felt like i shld n so here goes-
its only obvious tht most guys r out for sex.. even more obvious tht women know it... wat surprises me is tht women r so stupid. im really proud tht u ve finally faced, rather confronted ur past.. to all gals- a guy cant do ANYTHING if u don want him to. the apparatus called sensitivity most often is non existent. i include maself wen i say this. ur smart- take care of urself.. cos if u dont, trust me, nobody will
