Shadows and doorways
Secrets and lies
Love, lust and foreplay
Followed with goodbye
Sweet, stolen moments
Simply traded away
Begging for atonement
And those yesterday’s
When you promised forever
With that smile on your face
And then broke my heart
Shattered it like a vase
Languid and bittersweet
You gave my pain taste
With hidden intent
Your poisoned tongue, laced
I could never have dreamt
The evil that hid neath your face
Or there was ill in your intent
That would evolve into hate
But time heals the heart
And the emptiness fades
Revealing new starts
And erasing the pain
Opening new doors
Letting the sunlight break through
Changing who I was before
I was infected by you

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

You are who you are. Good job.
Yep, that's me. Like a bad case of herpes, I may go into hiding from time to time, but you know I'm gonna pop out sooner or later. (Sorry, it's just what came to mind.)
This is great!❤️
Wonderful
