There's a fight between my head and heart
My head is yelling get up and start
Frustrated by your idle ways
You can't just stay in bed all day
Seize the day! Don't daydream it all away

I want to, honestly I do
But my hearts so heavy it's because of you
You give me these pains
You paint the images in my brain
That make me want to stay here and think
I'm afraid what I might miss if I blink

But you won't miss a thing, these thoughts aren't even true
If you get up and try, you might find something new
Something that makes you forget the pain
That makes you feel like you again

I'm being stupid I know
I think I'm enjoying feeling so low
I'm not being lazy, although it may seem
It's exhausting running your thoughts on my screen
And I know you're well aware of that
Your making my heart beat fast
Deep down you also want these images to last
If you let go, I could let go to
But it isn't really what you want to do
You say it's all me, but we work as a team
You paint the pictures I bring the steam
Without my fuel your paint would dry
Without your paint I just might die

She was the ocean
Humming enchanting song
Temperamental
Often wrong

He was the wind
Gentle but strong
Effortlessly Kissing her
As the day is long

She complained of her flaws and all that had gone
He told her he loved her all along
She dismissed his words
He didn't understand her rage
He was flawless on every new page
You don't have rips or breaks nor tone
You are the wind so strong and bold

My love you misread what you are told
I'm only strong when you are mad
I'm only bold when you're sad
My strength comes from you
I'll protect you from your storm
I'll hold you close and whisper your name
Until you feel safe in my arms once again
When you are calm and glistening bright
I'll tell you it's all going to be alright
I'll never tire of your changing moods
For I am the wind it's all I allude
I'll tell you I love you till the wind is no more
And the ocean has dried up revealing the floor

Hi

I'm kenya83
You don't know me

I'm not great at saying what I see
So I jot it down in poetry

When it's down in black n' white
I can recite it when the moments right

That moment may not come
But my song I would've sung

So I sing it to myself
And keep my dancing in the house

Scared you'll hear my melody
Or catch me dancing funnily

Through fear of looking silly
I may come across as busy

When the truth that does remain
Is that your vision eases pain

When will I learn that my only regret
Will be the moments with you I didn't get

I'm not Christian Muslim or Jew
Nor Sikh nor Hindu nor Atheist too

I was never christened baptised or blessed
I have no label on my chest
Maybe that's the truest test
I'm thankful for my parents choice
For my faithless label allows me a voice
I see good in the Muslim I see hope in the Jew I see love in the Hindu the Buddhist too
I respect your values what you believe is true
I feel your passion and I'll learn your tune
I'll take it in and I'll write it down
Until it's my own song I'm singing aloud

My faith is the sky
The stars and the sea
The Sun that shines each day
And the moon that night time brings
Humanity love and kindness comes from the very highest view
If you have those in your heart
Then I have you in mine too

You barged right in with not a care in the world
Of how deeply I'd fall and hit the ground
I knew I'd fell, for I hurt inside
But I could still be falling, there's no end in sight
Like Alice in a wonderland nothing seems quite right
Still I drink your potion readily and prepare to hold on tight
I catch you in my dream hoping you'll stay the entire night
My subconscious has a knowing, I'll be alone by morning light
Every time I get back up and dust myself down
You just steamroll right back through me, knocking me out
My palms left sweaty my mouth left dry
As I wonder if my feelings can lie
For here things aren't what they always appear
The pain of unknowing is my only fear
So, for now, your seas have calmed
And your storm has settled down
Left me cold and windswept
With droplets on my brow
I'll do what I must to do for now
For when night time falls again
I'll be back in my beautiful nightmare
Where you think of me now and then

Fire burns with deep, hot desire
Of molten lava
Bubbling with curious sin

Climb in to my salivating mind
I'll meet you on the other side
Where lust and hunger linger

Hungry for your hidden thoughts
Do you share my ravenous crave
Lusting to taste the dew on your skin
Your potent drink I timely save

Intoxicated trembles arouse my body and my brain...
I should really learn to behave

Appreciate the beauty in every day you see
Make friends with the feeling of a soft spring breeze
Breathe in aromas of anew that fills the air
Of the daffodils and posies that spring up everywhere
Vibrant in colour with their backdrop of lush green
The sparrow and the blackbird and the chunky robin sing
Collecting twigs and moss whist singing songs in loving tone
Working with her mate she builds the perfect home
Snuggled in their nest where babies will be grown
The air is cool but the sun is strong it penetrates your bones
Look around and take it in
Be thankful for this priceless gift
Of Mother Nature as the seasons shift

You'll never have known a love so true
than the love of a dog when he loves you
The wag of his tail that wags just for you regardless if your happy or blue
He'll greet you every morning and stick to you like glue
He'll follow you around as though you are brand new
He'll never tire or get bored of his lot
For in his mind he'***** the jackpot
Cuddles on the sofa or walkies in the park
Curled up by the fire after a scrub in the bath
He doesn't care for material gain
He'll forgive you quick and he'll ease your pain
He'll look at you with love
best mates you'll forever remain
If he sleeps on his back with his legs sprawled in the air
You know he feels safe and loves his place
He doesn't feel vulnerable or insecure with you
He knows you're always there picking up his poo
He may be cheeky and he may be rude
But when it comes to the important stuff he's the coolest dude

****** my eyes
They are the windows to my soul
Share with me your beauty
All the things that make you grow
****** me with your eyes
My eyes like what they see
Share with me your weakness
And I'll see you're just like me


****** me with your scent
A heady fragrance reaches far
Etch a trigger in my brain that
Reaches memories when we part
****** me with your scent
The sweetness is divine
Like cherry blossom blooming
Or a coastal sunset night


****** my ears with what I hear
As the gentle whispers of a warm breeze
Speaks to the grass
As cheerful song is heard from the sky larks laugh
****** my ears with what I hear
With your soft voice speak of fond childhood memories ambition and dreams
Telling me lovely stories of what you believe


****** my touch
With the electricity of your body
Strong and broad like the most beautiful landscape I long to explore
Walking every path eager to learn more
****** my touch
Hold my hand in yours
We'll climb the highest mountain
Reaching breathtaking views
Guide my hands from toe to tip
Running my hands over your every inch not missing one bit


****** me with your taste
I may have saved the best till last
One taste of your lips my mouth be yearning fast
One sip does not quite quench my thirst
Im greedy I want more
Like a vino rosso you've let my tastebuds soar
Sweet fruit notes and smooth caramel
I sip you seductively and savour each delicate drop
Grounded by your earthy tones just like my fine wine
I taste your many layers which are perfectly sublime
****** me

I can't stop writing poems
Because I can't stop thinking of you
Poetry comes easy
when words and feelings are true
Like the sun does rise each day
and the birds do sing their tune
The words come fast and fluent
Just as night does bring its moon
There may be no rhyme or reason
To why my mind is stuck on you
But nature has a funny way
of knowing what is true

I wasted my day reading poetry
Thinking of you while I read
It passed as I listened to love songs
Though the whole time you filled my head
Before I knew it darkness fell
I'd spent most of the day in bed
But sod it I thought
I adored every moment astray I was led
Beautiful daydream delicious and tasty
You certainly kept me well fed

Your lips are wine
Seductive
I want to savour this taste
I'm dizzy
I'm drunk
Let your lips take control
Of my body
My mind
My imagination

Your eyes sparkle like the ocean
Captivating eternity
So soft yet wild
I want to dive in the depths
And not touch the bottom

Your smile
It's everything
It's passion
Inspiration
The arousal of butterflies
It's travel and language and food
Art and nature, words, and song
It's everything I love
The world would be better
If you smiled forever
