Love against all odds
What a feeling
To love something,
Someone so strongly
A love so great
You’d do anything
A love so large that
Consequences mean
Nothing in comparison
When the world
Tells you no but you’re
Crazy enough to say yes
You no longer care about
What may come your way
A love against all odds
That’s what we had
Maybe we loved
Each other too fiercely
Maybe we didn’t ...
**_Love_** is a beautiful feeling
that can not truly be described
or comprehended
by the human mind
but only felt
in our everbeating hearts.
**_Love_** is a delicate thing
not everyone deserves it
but most get it.
Only the ones
who are truly alone
and in need of an embrace
are neglected
in the way of **_love_**.
**_Love_** is a beautiful feeling
though abused and misused
and thought to be und...
In the vastness of the cosmos
Out where moonbeams never shone
I drifted, but a snuffed out star
In dimness, left alone
Without a fire to guide me
I pawed through asteroid dust
Grasping for another star
On whose light I could trust
How quickly other lights had fled
On seeing my estate
No comfort for a blackened star
That miserable ingrate
But there was one who ventured
To step nearer to my ma...
In love with your body
So lean,
So cold
Stroking your body
Head to toes
Our love smells
Of rot
And decay
I kiss your limp hands
Lick my pain away
“I love you.”
I say
Holding me in your arms
I flick a maggot off your arm
Waiting for your response
Your eyes stare at me
Empty
Black holes of void
And I smile
Stroking you, my toy
“Such a beautiful picture, you are.”
The bruises on your neck

Love is a _strange _word.
It means something different
Every time you say it
A truth, a lie
A way to say goodbye.
Love is a _terrifying _word.
You can’t say it without commitment
Without a promise
That you’ll stay
Night and day
Love is a _funny _word.
You don’t know what it means
Until you have truly lost it
Remembering, ...
Even when the waves top the ship,
The sails follow the winds;
Through thick and thin
The ship makes port, safe within.
When thunder rolls
And lightning strikes,
The giant oak tree stands triumphantly,
With strength abundantly.
Blazing fire burns the green foliage,
And though the old maples and roses fall,
With soil anew,
They grow and burst with life through.
See, Love wins against all odd...
Unmoving
Dependable
I know you’ll be there
No matter what
I could close my eyes
and fall
knowing you’ll catch me
How is it even possible
that you became my sister?
Both born in China
Different regions apart
Surviving separate lives
Both adopted into the same family
Our love is against all odds
In another universe
We never would have met
let alone be sisters
Our genetics aren’t interwoven

It was inevitable,
Such glass summons.
Would break on my bubble,
Once two now ones.
It was unfair,
Such ungrateful process.
Oh with such flair,
Was it ever going to be a success.
It was change,
Such a minor upheaval.
Isn’t it strange,
That I was wished such mal.
It was you,
Such was my own fault.
And this was true,
You tried to break a colt.
It was a feather,
On a crown made of glass.
Storm wa...
