Don’t let go

Cast your spell on me, and release me into a world, Where I would only have to leap over your words, And run into your arms that only open to my gaze. Bring me your aura, your magic too, take me to you, To a world where there's solely you, for who else do I need, When your arms are all I have my home in. Bring me close to the spring of your half-smile, Where I won't sink any deeper than into your moist, And my hands won't caress any face but yours. Cover me in the summer of your presence, Where there is your warmth, love and affection, Your proximity is all my existence years for. Let me hear the world pulse under your smooth skin, Feel your dense breath gently touch my lips, And forever lean my head into your chest. Let me lose myself in you for that's where I find myself too, With the touch of your lips, my heart skips a beat, Embracing you close to me, I don't wanna let you go. - nt & DG

A beautiful heartfelt collab with the amazing @nikithathampy ^^

Love Under the Stars

The way stardust falls upon your lashes makes me catch my breath.

Starlight shimmers in your hair and glistens on your lips.

I can only stare at the wondrous sight of you as your touch echo on my skin.

Stars reflect the glistening of your sweat as you tower over me.

If I tell you how your starlit curves stir the longing within me, would you blush?

Besotted by your beauty, you have taken me by soul.

I blush at each and every sound that you make as we make love under the heavens,

Our limbs entangled like we fear to be apart from each other in this passionate embrace.

Starlight falls upon our forms molded as one,

Illuminating a love inspired, a love ignited.

You look breathtaking in the starlight as you dominate my thoughts.

Together, climbing the peak of pleasure overwhelmed by the flames of our love.

We rise and we crash, and we hold on to each other,

Not letting go of joined hips and sweet caresses.

I can feel pleasure pulsating through our conjoined bodies as we take each other over the edge;

As we revel in the aftermath of our passion, I relish the beautiful sight of you under the starlight.

Love under the stars,

this night is ours.

A lovely collaboration with the amazing @september-stardust (in bold). Thank you for writing with me.

Finding love

Dew drops sparkle

Silver rays weave my smiles

Flowers beside colour my heart

Your hands gently brush my skin

A zephyr sweeps

The leaves dance in its rhythm

A kaleidoscope of butterflies

Fluttering inside

For your touch;

A dream it is, no more

Nyphms sing their magic

My eyes drunk in your love

Floral constellations,

You look above

But all I want to see is right beside

The sky's awash in hues of grey

In your jet-black eyes

I see twinkling stars,

You leaves me wondering;

What made this cosmic art?

I gaze some,

Get lost some more

Tiny drops of light

Scatterred in perfection

Pondering over reflections in between

They hold the mysteries

Of universe yet unraveled

Jotting those stars into constellations,

I find secrets,

never spilled out into words,

Gazing more into those eyes,

I get drawn,

like they are some black hole

Pulling myself closer to your lips

I sigh and melt down in them

Fading the cosmos;

Vanishing in your lips

I find a solace peaceful that night

Under the stars

In your arms

Lost in your love

Gravity

See her there, 

 moonlit smile,stars in her hair 

She smiles at me 

breath caught in my chest 

Stay here, sweet vision 

just stay here with me 

See him there, 

Galaxies in his eyes, a million suns blazing in his chest 

I am a comet, caught in his gravitational pull 

He captivates me as no one else ever could 

She draws near me elliptical, mystical 

The only star that I can see 

blazing in the night 

Fall to my knees in wonder 

grace lights her eyes

heart overflowing 

as she fills my skies

His song resonates inside

Oh what grace is his night 

So much to discover, so much to bring to light 

Two neutron stars collide and 

amazing beauty fills the sky.

In the end of all things 

'tween the light, the dark 

faint the song 

this heart sings 

All has gone away 

save you, and me 

Held bound by our gravity

By a love so strong 

 Nothing can separate our two souls

 A singularity in this universe, 

This love, 

Astonishingly beautiful and strong 

Truly a wonder to behold 

A wonderful collaboration between @voidlightmoon and @heartofmuse .

she ushered in soaked with feelings caught up in the parasol of yesterdays she whispered behind curling her mind around a crystal stem the simplicity of bubbled vapors desensitized to soothe the depths of a heart touched too dearly, memories provoked of days they danced before in ballrooms glazed in shimmering crystals diamonds casting shadows staining their innocence in cascades of velvet curtains interlacing meaning before the Great War

the end of days upon him as the make up leaks on her cheek a beautiful light in a world soon to be bleak between the dirt and spent casings her heart racing at the thought of him how he was before before the Great War

she dances now in splintered light eyes lost in the tender boy who waited at the bottom of her staircase with tender hand the brave soldier who left promises scribbled in notes beneath her shallow breaths

though these were remnants of a near past as consciousness fades fast trying hard to catch his breath and outrun death he lay upon the saddened ground hoping after it ends he’ll be found and buried under his own name in some distant after life she’ll be there looking the same

his picture clasped within a locket sepia toned and cradled with care between breasts her young soldier smiling to her before dying upon the fields in northern France her mind held captive swirling in the trance of his blood-stained body clinging to the fragrance held close within the handkerchief monogrammed for him

A beautiful sunrise

She’s the reason You are happy And you are The reason I’m happy, I hate her But I don’t.

Oh but she only Seems to be the reason  I’m happy, When I’ve never really Found happiness, In anyone other than  You.

You found happiness In me by keeping me At an arms-length.

Keeping you At an arm’s length Was for your good, Any closer  And I may have Burned you.

Keeping me at An arm’s length, But never Letting me go.  How was Trapping me In the open Ever be good For me.

Would let it go  The string I was Holding on to, Go if you must  No longer trapped, But know this You take my happiness  With you.

I want to go but I cannot leave, Not when you Call me happiness,  Yet chose her To make you happy. You say you care Yet go on And hurt me. If you do love me Let me know And let me go, Don’t ask me to leave Because a body Without a heart Is just a Dead person walking.

You can leave And take my happiness, If you lost yours  It can come in handy. I was hurting and she came, She’s great  Though I didn’t find happiness It was lost with you.  She knows it Says I’m hollow Tells me I’m heartless And it’s a total mess. You don’t have to be Without a heart, Take mine by all means If you must, I’ll exist without it, If that is indeed what I must.

I could have been Your happy and Your happiness, But you Never wanted me Even though You needed me The most. You do not Get to decide Whether I should be With you or not. You say you’ll burn me  If you hold me any closer, But look at me darling I am just ashes, Left of the passion You showed me for her.

How could I never want you, When in every crowd I pass through I search for you. Dark and grey has taken over Since you left, No colors exist anymore. I have no say I know For you’re hurt too. You may be ashes, But oh my dear You’re ashes of the phoenix Which will rise again. The passion you talk about, The feelings, the emotions, They don’t exist anymore, She has deemed me heartless.

Wanting someone And having someone, Are two different things And even though you say You wanted me,  You kept me away, Thinking you were Keeping me safe While all you did Was hurt me.

I hurt you When all I wanted was, To keep you safe. You see, I don’t trust myself, I want you, But I don’t think  I deserve you. What if you come  And my demons  Make your life miserable, Rather than better.

Nothing can make me More miserable than Not being with you. I’d rather be sad with you Than be happy anywhere else.

I can’t let you be sad, I’ll do whatever I can, To make you smile, To make you happy, For you deserve nothing less. Will you be by my side When the tides get high.

If you want me To be happy then Take me in your arms, Let me be there For as long as You can hold me. I need nothing more Than you to Keep me alive. Let the tides get high, We will be higher By being at Each others sides. Let us shine bright Like a beautiful sunrise.

Come then, My arms are wide open, Let me hold you. I’m clumsy But I won’t let you fall. You’re too precious. With you by my side  We’ll fight and defend, Whatever comes our way. We will glow, Shed our tears, Immerse ourselves, In each other, A beautiful sunrise, indeed.

Raincoat Goat

A fun collaboration with @spikeytim

Geranium the frazzled goat Threw jackets to the ground Trying to find her rain coat It was nowhere to be found / She looked behind the daffodils She searched beneath the chair She even looked inside the fridge Her raincoat wasn't there / In the last place she thought to look She found her coat at last While fixing up her frazzled self Reflected in the glass / She lingered at her mirror Open mouthed and staring "I've lost my mind! I couldn't find The coat that I was wearing!"
