A Castle With a Moat

i blurred my eyes
                    so i can no longer see your face
I close my fists
                    to leave no space where your hands could be.
I close my mind
                    so this migraine will keep my thoughts away.
But exhausted i lie
And all night i see your face;
What could have been.
Waking with tears
Having to rebuild
The fortress once again.

the Companion


I find myself
Lost
On a dirt path
In the middle of
Nowhere

I turn round
And round
No house
Human
Animal
In sight

Sinking down
I wrap arms around my knees
And make
Pleas of desperation
Devastation
Anger
At myself

Then
Sweet warmth at my back
Gentle arms wrap
About my waist
A whisper in my ear

“it’s okay, I am here”.

The Shallow Well of a Pasture Somewhere

Soft
cool
earth
warms underfoot
and swirls between my toes.
I only want the grass
the wet
strands
that sometimes cut
the creases of my skin.

I will
dig
deep
and
deeper
until I am surrounded;
all sides rising above me
in dark security.
Roots entrap my ankles
and hold me
tightly to
Mother's breast.

Something I found that is soooo perfect :)

ALL GUYS SHOULD READ THIS ;
- when she pulls away, pull her back .
- when you see her start crying, just hold her & don't say a word.
- when you see her walking, sneak up & hug her waist from behind.
- when she's scared, protect her .
- when she steals your favorite hoodie, let her wear it .
- when she says she loves you, she really does mean it!
- when she grabs at your hands, hold hers & play with her fingers.
- when she tells you a secret, keep it safe & untold.
- when she looks at you in your eyes, don't look away until she does.
- when she reposts this, she wants you to read it ♥
- when she's mad, hug her tight & don't let go.
- when she says she's okay, don't believe it.
- call her at 12:00 am on her birthday to tell her you love her.
- treat her like she's all that matters to you.
- watch her favorite movie with her even if you think it's stupid.
- don't talk about other girls around her.
- kiss her in the pouring rain.
- when she runs up to you crying, the first thing you say is, " whose
butt am I kicking baby?"



Thought for the day: 
Women these days have learned to stand alone and do most of these things for themselves. Wouldn't it be nice, if you surprised your girl with the actions on this list? Make her feel good today, it will be sooooo worth it!
