No, sir.<br />This piece is not about dreams made in sleep.<br />But of dreams made after one awakens.<br /><br />As fast as the familiar sting<br />Of freshly opened eyes sets in,<br />So does the thought of you. <br />Of your scent, of your taste,<br />Of the way my senses are tickled<br />By the blissful rush you bring,<br />When you touch my lips,<br />And caress my tongue,<br />Not caring one bit if i gargled<br />Or brushed. <br /><br />You are a drug.<br />And I'm addicted.<br /><br />Mother always told me<br />When i was a little boy,<br />That i had to wait til i grew up.<br />That i had to have good reason.<br />That it had to always be special,<br />That i shouldn't feel the need<br />To have you all the damn time. <br /><br />And lately I've been told five times.<br />Five times a day is a reasonable limit.<br />Just one is recommended, two is reasonable, <br />Three is okay. Four is a lot.<br />Five is the limit. But six? Too much, they say.<br /><br />But, i don't really care.<br />Sometimes, i do seven. One time i did eight. <br />And, yes, even i have to admit<br />That was a mistake.<br /><br />But I'm not letting you go. <br />Til i greet my grave, I'll keep you. <br />And have you. And taste you.<br />And come alive through your blissful gifts<br />Even if it means that as an aging man <br />I must suffer twice or thrice<br />A normal human's heartbeat in one minute. <br />I don't care.<br /><br />I need you. <br />And for as long as i live,<br />My morning greeting will always be:<br />Your name.

<br />
When I reveled at my strength and resilience I never thought it was me devising ways to cope with challenges that not everyone needed to face.<br />
<br />
When I learned contentment and acceptance, I never realized it was me consoling myself for not having what I needed.<br />
<br />
When I thought it was virtuous not to envy, I didn't understand that it was me losing my capacity for ambition.<br />
<br />
When I mastered calm and stoicism, I didn't see I also mastered detachment and resignation.<br />
<br />
When I thought I knew how to bend in order not to break, I didn't know I was training to kowtow to fate.<br />
<br />
When I thought I knew how to traverse the shadow, I didn't see that there wasn't always darkness , but only that I shut my eyes.<br />
<br />
When I thought I was courageous to find my own path, I was refusing to admit that I didn't know the way.<br />
<br />
There is value in training<br />
And pressure indeed builds strength<br />
But there is wisdom in the normal<br />
And it is not weakness to rest.<br />

You've lived only a fortnight<br />
I bring you to sleep with a song<br />
We're alone your mother sleeps tonight<br />
<br />
You are a joy, you've made me happy<br />
You are my love and you are with me<br />
They say death plays life before your eyes<br />
But the sight of you brings deep sighs<br />
<br />
In this night in this room under the moon<br />
I see you grown in the aisle so soon<br />
Slow down princess stay with me<br />
Let's have have this time to simply be<br />
<br />
Take my strength, take my love<br />
You, my gift from above<br />
Learn from me and teach me too<br />
Let me give my life to you<br />
<br />
Princess you walk, princess now you talk<br />
Princess you run, my princess soon will be gone<br />
Keep me in your heart, in there let me stay<br />
I shall always remember my pirncess, all my days.<br />

Four parts tragedy<br />
Three parts effort<br />
Two parts victory<br />

Arcane metallurgy for curious steel<br />
Cold, grey, and lack lustre<br />
Hidden alchemy of something real<br />
Strong and keen, borne out of the forge of thunder<br />

Curated by a master's eye<br />
Forged by a master's hammer<br />
Shaped in skill and tempered<br />
Quenched, sharpened, polished, beautified.<br />

Completed, sheathed ready for war<br />
Deadly guaardian, lethal protector.<br />

The birds sing sweeter their notes beguiling<br />
The sky is bluer my days are brighter<br />
The night is darker the stars they glimmer<br />
<br />
The whistling breeze it whispers<br />
The warm sun it pampers<br />
The petrichor carries a message<br />
Verified upon gazing at your visage<br />
<br />
It exists at the edge of reason<br />
Enciphered in the seasons<br />
In a while longer, the code must crack<br />
Emerging from the deepest black<br />

I lose concentration<br />
Because all thoughts of longing<br />
Becomes senations of yearning<br />
<br />
When my hands touch your skin<br />
It seeks to transmit my stirrings wthin<br />
To grasp your flesh beneath the fabric pressed<br />
Your waist, your bosom, carressed<br />
The feel of my grasp shoots lightning to my core<br />
A rigid growth promises a whole lot more<br />
<br />
I my mind we are clad in naught but air<br />
On your form I can't help.but stare<br />
I close the distance to to plant kisses<br />
As i explore you here are no misses<br />
<br />
In our embrace joins lock and key<br />
Going deeper to set you free<br />
To let lose your goddes within<br />
To come to me and reward this win<br />
<br />
I pull you close and breathe your air<br />
We go to places we know not where<br />
You ride your waves pleasure and call to me<br />
Benaeath the.motions the oceans refresh me<br />
<br />
Come my.lady, hurry.<br />
My wand's magic is at the ready<br />
Oh rapture sublime when the spell releases<br />
Catch me in your arms with gentle kisses<br />

Rusty reinforcement rips<br />
Scaffolding of my life gives way<br />
Skeleton then upholding now decays<br />

Purpose has been outlived<br />
Reasons ill-conceived<br />
All intents at permanence<br />
Degrades to effervesence<br />

What's built to last<br />
Has been undone<br />
Thrust has lost<br />
Gravity's won<br />

What's gone up has indeed come down<br />
In this vacuum I scream and make no sound.<br />

<span class="null"><br />
Between three walls of stone and three of wood</span><br />
<span class="null">I find myself alone with out you<br />
But yet hope lies in this moonlit night<br />
With winter's chill in the air<br />
Because though your presence is not before me<br />
Somehow I feel you there<br />
<br />
This thing I hold in my hand and lean my head against<br />
Is my only link,my mystic chain, my thread by which I feel connected<br />
I speak, and as if by magic you hear me and I hear you<br />
And though your hand I hold not in mine<br />
Know at least my heart is thine<br />
<br />
I wish I have your face before me now rather than my reflection<br />
But I see I 'd rather have you here in my arms<br />
I'd rather have you here with me<br />
<br />
No flowers I have for you<br />
Pauper that I am<br />
No sweets or trinkets for which I should have saved<br />
But yet I know despite this empty purse<br />
The treasure which is you, I save<br />
I wish, (and if I may have my wish)<br />
I wish to rectify<br />
This thing before my eyes<br />
I hope upon the next feast of hearts that comes<br />
That I, can do more than oohhs and uhms.<br />
<br />
I wish my mouth was close to your ear<br />
To let you hear<br />
Not just hear<br />
But feel the words that leave my mouth<br />
But here is all that we have<br />
For the moment<br />
And, I'm here away<br />
A bit down south<br />
Fret not my love I labour<br />
To make things go our way<br />
Our challenge, thoughts and arms not waver<br />
Until you're here and I'm there--
To stay<br />

I'd rather have this moment than spend forever contemplating.<br />
If all we have together is tonight let's have it<br />
I'd rather have one night than be forever aching<br />
<br />
I don't know if we have forever<br />
I've lost forever once before<br />
But I'd rather have you now than never<br />
You're all I want and nothing more<br />
<br />
When I stare in your eyes they drown me <br />
As I look into infinity,<br />
Your every breath takes mine away and captures me<br />
Be my guard in this captivity<br />
<br />
When were together, that's forever<br />
We're locked in our own time<br />
When we're together, I feel forever<br />
Enraptured in our love sublime<br />
<br />

When love becomes a pain<br />
When everything I am has become not me<br />
When life through another's eyes you see<br />
You lose perspective you lose sight<br />
You lose self in another light<br />
Every choice requires approval<br />
Every failure a removal<br />
<br />
I'll have no more of the bejeweled shackle<br />
Remove this gold from my ankle<br />
Remove this ring from my finger<br />
I am yours no longer<br />
<br />
Today I celebrate the return of mirth<br />
It is no longer by you that I measure my worth.<br />
I am a genie from the lamp wished free<br />
I'm a celebrant and my surprise I now see<br />
So many possibilities and so much time<br />
So many pleasures and they're now all mine<br />
I barely remember when all I wanted was you forever.<br />
This is now and it is so much better.<br />
<br />

What else is in store in a life with you?<br />
Would it be like the first light of day?<br />
Made perfect by the breezy sea spray.<br />
Shall it be like a rainbow after rain shower?r<br />
A gentle show of the sun's power.<br />
<br />
Are you the joy of a gift newly opened?<br />
Or the wonder of luck that has happened.<br />
Are you the vibrance of a fireworks display?<br />
Or answer to supplication long prayed?<br />
<br />
I dare not compare any of these to you.<br />
For your traits I cannot to things imbue<br />
None can compare, no trope will do<br />
None represents your virtues true<br />
<br />
I love to be yours and for you to be mine.<br />
I love how our hands and hearts entwine.<br />
I wish for nothing, not treasure nor siren's song<br />
It is simply for your love that I long.<br />

Responses required within the moment <br />
To take what is needed<br />
And rise to the occasion<br />
The call is heeded <br />
No hesitation<br />
<br />
The challenges have come<br />
The battle's not done<br />
All weapons released<br />
All bloodlust unleashed<br />
Expect no quarter no reservation<br />
It only gets harder, more tribulation<br />
<br />
Disasters fall with no warning<br />
Preparations fail as shortcomings<br />
No wall so strong to withstand the sea<br />
No monolith so lasting as to forever be<br />
<br />
I have responded to all emergencies<br />
And spread myself thin in all the urgency<br />
The challenges came and they've been met<br />
But I've not recuperated yet<br />
Disasters came, I've withstood them barely<br />
All resources drained entirely<br />
<br />
I'm sorry, this is all I have left to present<br />
Destroyed, depleted, deficient<br />
All I have, all you see<br />
All this is yours, take it -- take me<br />
Use your magic<br />
Redeem the tragic<br />
Reverse the decimation<br />
Grasp the sands<br />
In your hands<br />
Rebuild my shattered vision<br />
<br />

A tragic survivor if survivor I be of an ill fated boat<br />
Rations gone, strength has ebbed and hope has drained away<br />
Laid bare on this tiny craft day by bloody day<br />
<br />
The elements know not my suffring nor my fate<br />
Or maybe they do for daily they worsen my state<br />
The waves dizzy me, the sun he bakes me the wind chills my core<br />
But from then to now to when I die more pain they have in store<br />
<br />
Countless times I pass into sleep each one could be my last<br />
Amidst the sun the wind and waves my doom approaches fast<br />
And so by fates connivance, wind and sea end my defiance<br />
No will or strength left to call, against the fury of the squall<br />
<br />
Tossed too and fro is not what happened<br />
-- more like thrown and dashed<br />
One furious capsized my hope<br />
And made splinters of my boat<br />
<br />
Under the waves I gasp for air but breathe the sea instead<br />
And it was the icy water that seared pain in my head<br />
With one more stroke I break the water I finally resurface<br />
And one more wave threw me to shore and returned me to my place<br />
<br />
I live.<br />

How sensation had flown<br />
from my heart,my soul<br />
It's absence left a gaping hole.<br />
<br />
I found myself unsurprised, desensitized, anesthetized<br />
I saw myself unconcerned, undisturbed, unperturbed<br />
I responded to a call to battle Atropos<br />
She prevailed, I lost<br />
<br />
I fought valiantly, my breath for hers my hands on her heart<br />
I gained ground and gave the muscle a start.<br />
The Lady of the Shears redoubled<br />
And I could hear her whispers mumbled<br />
in my heart and mind<br />
"You have failed, she is mine"<br />
<br />
Breath faded, beating ceased<br />
Pupils dilated, the ghost released<br />
I watched as life drained away<br />
But felt no loss, no dismay.<br />
<br />
Of course it was my mind and engaged intellect<br />
that initiated my disconnect<br />
I understood their tears, their loss, their pain<br />
But within, the memory has caused no stain<br />
I have no pain, no pangs, no sadness<br />
But just a plain and echoing emptiness<br />
<br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">You brood, you growl you bark</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />

Only one view from this spacious tomb<br />
Nothing but walls of gray<br />
No hint of night or day<br />
<br />
In this isolation I'm driven mad<br />
Your presence the only joy to be had<br />
Not often enough to keep me sane<br />
Made worse by the presence of the pane<br />
<br />
It's a joy to see you through this glass<br />
This accursed transparent solid mass<br />
All I have is your sight and sound<br />
This pane more obvious when you're around<br />
<br />
The pane such a terrible pane<br />
It hinders our contact, it's my life's bane<br />
I long to touch you and kiss your precious lips<br />
But this pane disallows even touching your fingertips<br />
<br />
Have I not suffered enough Milady<br />
Shall you still add to this malady<br />
Do you revel to see me time and again<br />
By keeping me imprisoned behind this pane<br />
<br />

perked with no energy<br />
sitting still, yet unsettled<br />
unconscious in a dreamless worthless sleep<br />
adrenaline burns like octane<br />
fast, raging but short lived<br />
lethargy haunting in my waking hours<br />
the Sandman wins over caffeine every time<br />
