The sound of rain is comforting
When you have lost all hope
So is candlelight (try it!)
And something to smoke (don't).

My love I need my freedom
And it is yours to give -
Ay - there is the rub
And the short of it.
Daniel James Mar 2011
The Crystal Palace tower
is solid grey and home to none
its flashing heart beats for safety only.

I felt love today
a fleeting feeling passed through me
like radiation, but in knowing it,
it passed away...

turned into paper
never slept
thought he was a horse
fell in love with the mirror
couldn't be happy
hated everyone
just wanted chocolate
lost his way
forgot how to laugh
could stop time
couldn't understand metaphors
promised too much
hated to let people down
came home in the end

Luke was such a dreadful fidget
He couldn't sit still for a minute
He'd toss and turn all lesson long
Like a caterpillar crawling on a cattle prong
He'd flick his rulers, click his pens
Cluck and fuss like a headless hen.
His tutor, a tall and sombre man
Was struggling with his teaching plan
He'd taken three days to prepare
But Luke was more than he could bare.
"Right! That's it! I've had enough!
If you don't stop I'll call your mum.
Unless you're really in fact quite ill
I'd advise you to stop it. Oh do keep still!
I'm just about to lose my mind, oh Luke
You're being quite unkind!"
But Luke was on a sugar high
"I can't stop!" He said, "I don't know why!"
And with that he jumped up, began to dance
He leaped and swung and swooped and pranced
Till all the neighbours gathered round
To gaze and gawk at this unsightly sound...

Just
A sense we have
For the future that is in us
Strange and Familiar
Like the break of day.

Surround me now, LOVE, like linkage
From beauty to the belly-button of the beast.
Umbelli me here my dear, let me feast
My eyes on your whole from the inside out.
Your flesh and bone, tan-toned complexion
Is f-ucking with my pheromones.
I crave your privacy; forbidden zones
Between ticklish toes and feather pillows
We'll mingle moments and non-moments of
Equal                 weightless                      ness.
A shared glass of milkwith your lips lingering
A lazy-fond sofa-based simmering.
A clinging a crumpling of breath accidental
Harmony undressed by a simple - YES
