Love In The City Of Lights
Posted on June 21, 2020 Leave a Comment
She was from the City of Lights,what happens there stays there.It was simply amazing, a beautiful situation.We agreed to make it last forever,so I placed my heart on the table.Engaged in conversation,making love verbally,plans for her to be with me.She told me about her dreams and trust issues,intimate secrets buried away like treasures.Said I was […]
OCEANS BOTTOM

Your love is like an ocean swallowing me whole,pulling me into its depths,sinking into neverending darkness.Losing control of myself and all of my breath.Until my lungs are filled with all of you,and all I see is blue fading to black.With the weight of love on my back,I descend, falling into a liquid abyss.Closing my eyes […]

GET AWAY

Let’s go, You and I Somewhere, anywhere, faraway I want to take you to a place foreign to You Where dreams come true A place where we dont speak the language Where the sunsets take your breath away, and time doesn’t matter So we drink and dance all night, and make love until sunrise… Michael […]

I got problems and flaws Some that I’m living with You got issues and scars Ones that you’re dealing with I’m working on myself diligently Trying to fix me You only want to trust again Been hurt so much by your past I want to break down your walls You need to know my secrets […]
