Like love that come as still as night,

And strikes the heart full and bright,

 

Take my hand and hold it.

Hold it like you hold your life.

 

For when war comes and you be lone ...

You remember...

Last Kiss


You were wearing you're grey wolf shirt with your black leggings.

Trains


Everytime I go through something bad,

I always end up on a train.

The sound of the tracks soothes me,

These words etched upon my skin

Unique in shapes, variable and defiant

Each appreciative of the...
