This book is dedicated to you my love.

I need not say your name for you to know who you are.

I will love you.

Forever and Always.

OF AUBURN SUNSETS

You are the sunset that kisses my horizon

Rolling clouds drifting through satin skies

You are the crisp feeling of grass against my ankles

I step towards you

The air sways helpless

You taste of rain

PERMANENT

Electrified

You are the lasting sting of a tattoo

Etched into me

My blood leaks softly

I always want you

I crawled to the edge and I could not find you

Then I lost my voice in their songs

Mute

I strained to see

But still I could not see you

The doves then pecked at my face

So you could no longer recognize me

They did not care for my tears

They did not care for my love for you

And again

When I tried to get to you

They dragged me down

So I clawed at my back

I bled on the floor

You did not see my pain

But it was shackled to you

I stole their feathers

Sewed them to my skin

And, so

I sprouted wings from my struggles

Then I flew to you

But when you saw my face

The scars on my back
