Freedom

Each day for 40 years, he asked her to marry him, and on each day for 40 years, she said ‘yes’.

She once asked him, ‘after 40 years of marriage, why do you still ask?’

‘Just in case you’ve changed your mind,’ he replied, ‘just in case, you’ve changed your mind.’

Limitless

You freed me.
With you, my limited world, became limitless;
and all that was impossible, suddenly became possible.

Squeezed

I took your hand and squeezed it so hard, I thought I’d die.

In not letting go, I didn’t realise that I klled you instead.

The Long Goodbye

Unable to hold back my tears, as I packed a suitcase. ‘Why are you leaving? This just makes no fucking sense!’ You are yelling, taking things out of the suitcase, as I put them in. I have to admit, it made no sense. None whatsoever. I am in love with you. There is no doubt in my mind about that and have been since that first day you spoke to me. I knew that I wanted to marry you even before our first date. When I’m with you, when I’m holding you in my arms, when I’m kissing your lips, when I’m close to you, my world is complete. And that is the issue, without you, I am not whole. I am not free.

But I don’t say any of that. It wouldn’t help you to understand any better. Instead, I close my suitcase, and leave the house, our house, knowing that I’m leaving behind things I will never recover, and drive off hoping that I can make myself complete without you.

Eternity

You told me you will love me forever,
which scares me.
Forever, will never be an eternity.

Efficiency

The porn industry would benefit from having lessons in efficiency – they take 2 hours to do what I can do in 2 minutes

The Drama Queen

The Drama Queen…

When your Crown of Thorns turns out to be nothing more than a branch of a tree.

My Silent Words

My words are silent.
Try as you might, you cannot hear them,
that is their strength.
Like Ninjas in the night,
you don’t hear them coming,
but you know when they have arrived.

My words are silent.
They do not shout down the street, or come with a siren, or bell,
they trickle down the page,
performing tricks, entertaining you.
Now you see them, now you don’t.

My words are silent.
You will not find them on your volume button.
My words are silent,
but you will hear them all the same.

King

With each kiss, I expect you to turn this old toad, into a Prince.

But with each kiss, I become a King.
