Facets of a Woman

Multifaceted Secretary Desk
I don’t fit into a box.
I have so many interests and loves,
you can’t simply confine,
all that is mine,
between these four walls of time.
I don’t fit any label.
I have so many facets and sides,
you can’t possibly see,
all that is me,
this I can guarantee.

Love

Love demands everything
and wants nothing.
It grows powerful
but makes one powerless.
Love conquers all
and destroys some.
It repairs broken hearts
but causes heartbreak.
Love feels strong
and is felt by the weak.
Love builds slowly
but it can be taken away quickly.
Who are we without love?
Empty reflections of our true selves.
Love is a necessity 
and emptiness is a heavy burden to carry.

- C.A Sullivan

Night Love

Secretary Desk and Books
When night falls,
our hearts touch.
Speech becomes absent.
I stand before you,
yours for the taking.
The best of friends,
the most passionate of lovers,
such a whirlwind is our love.
As the night fades, 
the magic lifts,
and I find myself alone.
Until the next time,
we meet again,
in the deepest part,
of my most divine dreams.

Book Traveler

Bookshelf
As I read each word, 
the sentence comes together,
painting pictures in my minds eye,
of places thought lost forever.
As I turn the page,
and drift further away,
diving deeper into a time,
far from that of today.
Where dreams are real,
and time is lost,
never to return,
not caring the cost.

- C.A. Sullivan

Monsters

I live with a monster,
that prays on my weakness,
it destroys my self-worth,
and leaves me with meekness.
I live with a monster,
that knows my mistakes,
it uses them like daggers,
and leaves me with heartache.
I live with a monster,
that carves away what’s left,
of any piece of worth,
that I mustered up and kept.
I live with a monster,
that poisons my mind,
it took the best parts of me,
and left the worst behind.
I live with a monster,
this can't you see,
I live with a monster,
this monster is me.
