three commandments
by ectar

you shouldn't
worry about me.

i worry enough
for both of us.

i'm the last person
you need
to worry about.


lonely

i look at you
and thank Him that i did
you are so beautiful
in ev'ry right

your eyes smiling back
whenever you look
at my soul
and your tears shred
me like hell

what good have i done
to deserve you?
i know not
nor do i know anything but
your gaze, your touch, your fiery kisses
that melt me into an insignificant pulp
of burning passion and reality

i look at you
and wonder where you have been
hiding for the past years
why have you not pleased my soul
of being discovered? chartered? loved?
and instead chose to be
inconspicuous from me; restless
brooding

too many times have i stood
in front of the mirror and asked
my image for the love
it has yearned for so long
and i have found it!
i yearn no more
I YEARN NO MORE

verily i trod forbidden paths
and accept all that they are
let them pierce through me
and yet i could smile
and yet i could love
i face what life throws at me
as i look into those squinty eyes
that stare back at me
i shudder to think
that i may lose those eyes
one day

i will never forgive myself for doing so.
