Love

A song/poem inspired by Gary Jules - Something Else.

It's about a perfect couple. So perfect that the guy seeks imperfection in me.

A helium high of nonstop transatlantic obsession

I saw the stars gleam outside. And inside, felt your wretched beauty. The stars dulled before me. Your love taunted me with a fierce embrace. My icy breath spiralled and vanished. We held hands.

To stand in front of a flower,
and feel the flicker of its eyelash,
and see the sun skip like a pebble
inside the spaces that sings between us.

And the verdure of its leaves,

Ah, your pronunciation
is a little off centre –
like a crooked portrait!
Let me push those vowels
back into place.

Cowboy Killer (6th January, 2009, 2.24pm)

He strode in like a cold wind
blowing through my mind,
words slung from his hips like
guns, bullets ready for firing;
deadly, silver-tongued ones.

The aftermath of a love affair.

A poem of release

I think of you and smile,
And all the while,
Shouting down the phone.
Getting in the zone.
I begging to say
When I meet you, nay.
When I hold you
I want to say
I love…

Thought I'd pratise with a different style, not really confident it's that good to be honest. Oh well.

It's pretty much a love story about giving and taking, and of fire and snow.

a cookie haiku.. yumm

I hug my pillow,
and imagine it is you.
But somehow,
the pillow is not warm enough,
the pillow is not talking or breathing,
it does not smell like you,
it doesn't hug me or kiss me back,

Sometimes I can’t believe it
I have to pinch myself
To think that you were there for me to pluck you off the shelf
That someone hadn’t grabbed you
And kept you for their own

She; love “shower me in kisses
Rinse my soul of lustful wishes”
Blossom but once within my heart
A flower seed; your loves impart.

He; dare say “I, in loves gainsay,

"Would you cheat on her?"

"Pardon?" I looked confused. She repeated her words, this time adding extra emphasis to "you," "cheat," and "her."

The make-up palette
stares at me
with a thousand coloured eyes,
blinking like dust
kicked up by the sun.

As you draw me in
I lie beside you, facing you on your bed
as we drift off to sleep
you breathe out as I breathe in
your breath feels hot in my mouth.
I let a small whimper escape;
