Two-faced snakes that smile.

Passing on Eternity

Our dimly lit star that flickered on Earth, burns brightly in the heavens tonight.

There she is tucked away high above.

She wears her immortality like a crown.

Our heartbreak is endless due to our belated appreciation.

Exhausted by deception. It's time to take a new direction.

He watched her in her deepest sleep. Staring at her captivating face, his obsession grew tenfold. Her breathing was slow and steady while his became heavy and rushed. Tempted to caress her cheek he emerged from the shadows and loomed over her body. She smelled like the rain. Clean, fresh and wet. Her blanket was draped over her body shielding her from the chill of the air. Still deep in sleep, she didn’t register the touch of her admirer. Approaching his love from behind, he ran his fingertips along her sloping shoulders. He slid his palm down her spine and wrapped his arm around her waist. He kissed the tender area behind her ear and whispered words only they understood to each other. This moment so sweet and sinister in its nature must end. His love travels down a very narrow tunnel and visions of the future are gray at best. Secretly pining over the woman of his dreams is all he wants to do. For in his dreams, all his desires come true.
