Heartbeat

Thump, Thump
The cadence of your heart
beats to its own drum.
Soothing me, calming me
softly echoing, a sweet hum.
~
Thump, Thump
My arms tighten around you
closer to hear that thrum.
The room's only light offered by the moon
I listen to your heart strum.
~
Thump. Thump
After our night of passion
this embrace is the sum
of our love, affection, and adoration
I slowly begin to succumb.
~
Thumb, Thump
My eyes feel heavy
I wonder how this could have come,
that my love for you has grown stronger
even now I ponder this as I become
~
Thump, Thump
Ever so tired, closing my eyes
I keep my thoughts away from
All our trials and problems that will arise
I am happy to relish and feel numb
~
Thump, Thump
completely taken by your embrace
I hold you tighter, beginning to swum
into the realm of dreams
never again can will my face be glum
~
Thump, Thump

Fairy Tale

Our story just began,

yet we have written so much.

Each chapter,

a new beginning,

a new step,

towards our happily ever after.

~

Although apart now,

we won't be forever.

Distance has been conquered

another triumph in our story

for we can see the other now.

~

Never before have I been so close

to another.

Never before have I been loved

this deeply.

Never before have I loved

this deeply.

~

As our story unfolds,

as we write each page, line, and word

our love just grows and grows.

You are the only one I want to be writing

this Fairy Tale with.

Cliche

You are "my other half,"
my "soul-mate,"
my "one and only"
all cliches 
~
yet,
all are true.
~
I was alone,
a broken down,
shell of a man
you came to me,
as if sent by God himself.
~
My guardian angel in the flesh
you saved me without knowing,
helped me put down the knife
and lifted my chin
~
And on that day
12/11
you became mine,
I became yours.
At the time
neither knew how intense
our love would grow.
~
Deeper and deeper we fell
hand in hand
step in step
once two,
now two halves making a whole
~
through thick and thin
we prevail
nothing can stop true love
love conquers all
~
the time I have been yours
has been the best of my life
never before have I been so happy
you are my one and only
my 'forever'

Expression of Love

To My Love,

          In this short time we have been together, words cannot do a justice to describe what you mean to me. From the time that we first talked until now, there is a huge difference in me. It can only be explained by your presence in my life. You have given me back my life. I now have purpose and direction in my life. You are the reason I get out of bed in the mornings; you are what I fight for, and will always fight for. Since we have been together, I look at life through a different lens. I see positives in life that I never did before.
          We say that we love each other all the time, and for me it is so much more than love. You have been nothing short of my own personal guardian angel. Whenever I am down, or not feeling 100% you are right there to make me feel good again. And you never ask anything in return, you just act so selfless and I am so blessed to receive that kind of love.
          You truly are my one and only baby. You have filled my heart with so much love, love that I never thought existed. I really can't explain it, but to wake up in the morning and knowing that someone loves you with all their heart is its... one of the most incredible feelings in the world.
          A, I love you so much! Every day I fall in love with you again and again each and every single day. And it's the simple things that make me fall for you. Things like "suuuure." Or just how you make me feel by telling me that you love me, or even just by being with me. All these things just make me realize every day just how crazy I am about you.
          The more and more time we spend together, the more we fall deeper in love with each other. This time we have been together, really is the best time of my life. I can't wait to continue writing our love story together. I love you so much!!!!

Love forever and always,

Brandon <3

A Flake In Time

The snow falling down on you and i

tumbling down nonetheless

From the dull grey pillows in the sky

landing softly upon your dress

I look down to the lake with a wandering eye

peaceful, serene, and not another soul on this ness

except of course, for you and i

captivated by your hair you did up in a tress

you sit here and i mustn’t lie

I love your sweet, soft caress

pulling me by my black tie

brushing your lips against mine to express

as my hand comes to rest upon your thigh

your absolute devotedness

my soul melts, with a sigh

my heart a swelling to excess

tears form as I begin to cry

yearning for this moment to be ageless

Death Dream

In your loving arms

hand caressing my face

you wipe my tears away

Your sweet smile embracing my dying soul

Breeze rolling through your hair

the sunlight caressing your cheek

the darkness gets closer

As the light of the day grows

To be in your arms

is my dying wish

I love you more

Than you could ever know

I wince my last wince

You take the pain away with your kiss

Slipping away you pull me tight

Darkness consumes me as I hear you say

I love you

The Eye (Edgar Allan Poe Adaptation)

After such a heinous act
how can I be so calm
I tell you this in a pact
never tell for fear of The Eye
~
I remember
like yesterday
sitting there,
staring into The Eye
I felt it in the air
That’s when I knew
I had to take it,
remove The Eye
~
Crazy, and mad
you might think of I
Smile at you
I hold your gaze with My Eye
~
Now, sit and stay
be a good lad
sit down as tell
this tale of the heart gone mad
~
You should have seen me young lad
Meticulously was I
As I planned for those seven days;
how to steal that Eye
~
You would have loved to see
Oh I was so cunning
Almost salivating now
my plan was stunning
~
Upon each night I creep
Into the room of The Bligh
at midnight, observing
watching the Evil Eye
~
Cracking the door
I poke my head in, exposed
Ha! Would a crazy be as careful?
there the eye lay, closed
~
Seven nights did this occur
each night the same as the last, I swear
On the eighth, again I enter
This time he calls “who’s there?”
~
Silenced remained,
I lingered still
quiet as ever
Twas quite the thrill
~
“It is nothing but the wind in the chimney
it is only a mouse crossing the floor,
It is merely a cricket which has made a single chirp.”
he uttered
~
Though comforting the eye might try
Death lingered, so close by
Laying back down, continued on did I
I released a soft sigh
~
That’s when the feelings came
Anxiety crept over with no warning
Nervous? but how? I was so sure
Then, I thought, their would be no mourning
~
A shriek from my lips
to the bed I ran
dragging out the eye to the floor
Pulling the bed over the old man
~
Standing back
peeling back the planks
concealing him
to the floor I gave thanks
~
The deed done and finished
relishing in the moment
this act forever with me
for life I would have to own it
