Me
I looked at it in wonder,
then carefully wrapped it up in tissue
and placed it on a shelf called some other day.
I held it in my hand for a while,
then folded it in brown paper ******* with string
and hid it in a drawer called one day.
I sat and wore it on my face
then boxed it up labelled it with words
and put it to the back of the cupboard called yesterday.
I gave it to you for a time,
then you handed it back with a smile.
Show it to everyone in your world called today.

33
33 words placed by your amazing tongue,
Melting together one by one.
33 words straight from your core,
Whispered on bare skin I want more.
33 words mixed with your soothing voice,
In each and every syllable I shall rejoice.
33 words dripping down my spine,
Slowly tracing their path until they meet mine.
33 vertebrae waiting for your precious voice...
I can only surrender I have no other choice.

First love.
Blind love.
Arms tied behind my back love.
Eyes bigger than my heart love.
I can see my way through the dark love.
Head up in the clouds love.
Feet high up off the ground love.
Far too young love.
Everlasting love?
Wrapped up in nostalgia love.
Don't go there love.
Leave in the past love.
Why does this hurt my insides love?
Head in the sand love.
Feet back on the ground love.
Second best love.
Finally grown up love.
Blind love.
First love.

Yes
He said
I miss
Your kiss.
I can't dismiss
Your touch,
I miss so much.
My words dancing
On your tongue
He said.
The kiss I miss,
The thoughts
I can't dismiss.
Fizzes in my brain
Do you feel the same?
He said
Yes
she said,
With bated breath.
I miss the kiss
I can't dismiss
Your touch
I miss so much.
Will you
Take your kiss
Place it on my lips
That miss your touch
So much?

I am in lust. I'm hate,I'm love, I'm tangled.
I am amused,confused,bruised.
I am hot,cold,I am untold.
I'm undone,I'm fun,
Coming,going,I'm all knowing.
I hope,love and scar,
My head hurts and my mind is numb.
I'm hurt,jealous,envious.
I smile, laugh and taste.
I scream and dream.
I'm in a hurry, I'm lazy.
My throat hurts, can't talk.
I can't see, just leave me be.
I am disabled, not able.
Leave me in pieces.
I am all of the above and then some.
I'm tired,inspired,I am wired.
I cry ,I lie and try.
I am trying,but most of all I'm crying.
I'm fake,I'm real. It is surreal.
I feel,I don't,I won't.
I talk,I walk,I run.
I stop,I strop, I shout.
I really don't know what this is about.
How do you feel? To me it's real.
I am raw,I'm cut,I need,I bleed.
I give up,I give in,you win.
I fight,I am uptight.
I'm abstract, I react, detract.
I am dramatic,ecstatic, erratic.
.... I am knackered.

My tears  drip on the earth,
the earth that covers your body.
The wind rips the words from my mouth.
I want to hold time in my hands.
Stop,still.
Then turn the clock face.
To another hour,
a different place.
Look into your eyes a little longer,
hold you a little tighter.
Take the pain,
banish the shame.
Read the silences in the lines around your eyes.
Feel the heat,
fear the cold.
Savour the moments of pure joy,
immerse myself in the laughter.
Open my arms,
erase the anger.
I'm better for knowing you.
My only wish...
That you could have stayed a little longer.

You
Your warm embrace,
your face With it's amazing grace-
fullness of heart.
Right at the start,
from the moment you spoke to me
Your soft caressing words...
I can't explain,
the day our heads became
A force to be reckoned with.
My huge soul with a gaping hole is filled with light.
The truth in your voice,
I have no choice...
To follow in your foot step-
in time to the beat of the blood flowing through your veins.
I can't explain,
the day our hands became
a brain to write with...
My lifeless bones within the skin you wrap around them,
are filled with hope.
The wounds are healing scars from the past.
I breathe out me so I can breathe in you.
I can't explain,
The day our feet became
the beat to push us forward
To light and life I raise a toast to the force that brought us together.
I have no choice
but to hear your voice
Now and forever.
