I’m sure your expectation for R, my lovely readers, was romance. And that was my intention. But it didn’t quite work out that way… although this is romantic. And there’s plenty of romance to be found on this blog anyway…

r is for run.

Take my hand
Look at me and listen
You can always hear me
Without a word spoken
And I read your thoughts
Like they’re my own
My eyes light up
Your smile grows
It’s time for us to go
Escape the mess
We never meant to make
Maybe it’s selfish
And definitely scary
But you’re beside me
And I’m beside you
It doesn’t have to be easy
It only has to be us
Together
Hand in hand
Deep breath
and
Run

A to Z challenge — a letter a day throughout the month of April (except Sundays) until we reach z.

q is for question.

How do you make me smile
every time you’re near me?
And why do I love my name
(the one I always hated)
when it falls from your lips?
And when can I have those lips
covering me with kisses?
Shall I whisper dirty things
in your ear to drive you mad?
And when I do, will you touch me
‘til I burn and beg for more?
Where will you lay me down
and finally make me yours?
Please, would you come to me
and answer my every question?

A to Z challenge — a letter a day throughout the month of April (except Sundays) until we reach z.

p is for pedestal.

In a world of my own invention
You towered above me
And I should have left you there.

Don’t put anyone on a pedestal
Everyone always tells me
I boldly vehemently disagree
In the clouds you were my dream
Whatever I wanted you to be
A convergence of hearts
Of words of imagination
Frozen in idealistic anticipation

Until you crashed through
And fell to me at the foot
Of that majestic pillar
Gave me what I thought I wanted
But reality destroyed fantasy
I lost everything I adored
Because the distance between us
Was the home of our magic

Hope and yearning disintegrated
Because off that giant rock
The dream was no more.

[This is an unintentional companion to my poem imperfection. Sort of the flip side… maybe… kind of. And perhaps p is also for pain.]

Now that the a-to-z challenge has passed the half-way mark, I thought a recap of the first 14 letters was in order. Below is a list from a to n.

e is for engagement.

f is for friend.

g is for green arrow.

h is for hot.

i is for illusion.

j is for jaded.

k is for kiss.

l is for love and lust.

m is for metaphor.

A to Z challenge — a letter a day throughout the month of April (except Sundays) until we reach z.

n is for numb.

Lost in a daze
Of my own creation
Peaceful and calm
Inside my dream
Surrounded by love
But I lost it so fast
Nothing beautiful lasts

I’d rather be numb

Every night I beg
The moon, the gods
Please take me back
To the haze of love
My dream of us
But my night is sleepless
Without you, my weakness

I’d rather be numb

This pain inside
Ripping me to shreds
Won’t release my soul
The dream has faded
Hopelessly crushed
Just one thing left from before
My heartbeat and nothing more

I’m finally numb
