..Always end too soon

The smoke rose into the air and spiraled away from the cigarette. Fred shifted slightly on the cold ledge of the porch. It hurt on days like this. Days when she slowly broke down and couldn't care anymore. She took another drag and watched the smoke leave her lips and dissipate into the darkness. The door opened behind her, she knew who it was before he even exited the doorway. Fred flicked the cigarette onto the sidewalk before facing him. His silence spoke of understanding and as he wrapped his arms around her, she broke down and let him in.

She melted into his arms. For once it felt good to be on the receiving end instead of the giving. She was tired and angry but in his arms she felt safe, and maybe she could even forget for a little while. He whispered soothing words next to her ear and she felt her breath hitch and the tears fall. Fred fell forward and he caught her easily. He cradled her in his arms and rocked her gently. In the distance she heard music and wished she could turn it up so that she wouldn't hear her world fall apart.

Fred stared emptily at the paper in front of her, her head supposed to be concentrating on recipes and dinners, as the words from the television socked her hard in the gut... “Well I tell you something. You take me for granted!... I’m angry! And just because I love you doesn’t mean I can’t hate you too. And I hate you...We never talk, we just don’t.” She turned away slightly wiping stray tears that fell down her cheeks, hoping that she was quick enough that he wouldn't see. She refused to wear her heart on her sleeve this time.

His old guitar sits in the corner
like a lover tossed aside
color slightly faded from years of caresses
strings straying from the tight confines
of tuning pegs wound too tight
...
His memories sits, covered in dust
silent music etched
into
worn wood and metal
that only he can hear
...
His old guitar sits in the corner
waiting for his hands to return

If We Kissed (drabble)

A comfortable silence mingled with the haze filled air. Fingers danced around beer bottle necks and across the tables. Hers played with the delicate white-gold ring that graced her ring finger, twisting it ever so slightly so that the small diamond in the center reflected light. She jumped slightly as long, graceful fingers ghosted across the top of her hand, stilling her movements. Emerald eyes with specks of gold held her gray ones. Bending forward, a smile playing on his lips before he gently kissed her, he stole her breath and caused her eyes to fall closed. She melted in his arms and he held her giving her eternity for a few seconds. The comfortable weight gone, cold air stealing away its warmth brought her back to reality, and she glanced at him across the table. Time moved forward capturing the moment and she surrendered it even as she brought her fingers to her lips, still warm from his.

Artistic Endeavor (Poem)

Air passing
Though fingers
Movements controlled
While digits slice through scenery
Colors rippling
And moving together
As if untouched
Except I know better
As my hands come back
Encased in pieces of the sky

Depression (story)

He looked down at the still body. She was cold so very cold. He took off his jacket ignoring the biting winds and wrapped it around her pale figure. She wasn’t dead. She couldn’t be dead. For her to be dead, meant that he would be dead. One soul cannot exist without its twin. He sat on the chilled pavement and ran a shaky hand through the pale locks that shaded her face. Wake up…please wakeup. He feels the wetness slip pass closed eyelashes. His hand wipes angrily, he can’t cry now, she need him to be strong. Strong arms pick her up and pull her close to his body. She shudders beneath him, light at first and soon stronger. Pale green eyes became visible as her eyelids flutter and open, her tears spill down. What happened? Her voice lacks feeling, lacks life, and it hurts him to hear her that way. An accident love, we’re okay though. Did he sound confident enough; did his voice carry the strength that he lacked? He tightened his grip, cradling her in his lap. He could feel her pulse-so soft and slow compared to the rapidness of his own. I love you…from now until forever. Her voice came out a soft whisper and only now did he let his tears flow. I know love. He bends down and cringes slightly as he feels the coldness of her lips. The kiss is tender, even as her body convulses. He looks in her eyes and sees love in their depths although the light in them slowly fades. Forever… She closes her eyes and breathes her last breath. The scream echoes through the lonely road and he cradles her body so close to his. Sirens ring in the distance, to late to save her… to late to save him. He cries openly, breaths hitching in a sore chest, and he knows that he will never cry again-never love again. It hurts so bad and he can do nothing to alleviate his pain. Rain falls, caressing the torn lovers. Hands grasp his shoulders lifting him up. An EMT tries to take her body away, but he refuses-not now please not now. Forever- Eyes show sympathy, understanding. He nods and shows him to the ambulance. Doors close and he kisses the brow of his lover one last time-goodbye. For the moment they are one-one soul..one heart..one life. He cries for her and from above she cries with him.
