As ships pass in the night
I still tremble upon your vision
morning and night your beauty never escapes
your smile melts me as a cutting torch renders the steel
and the warm rush fills the void

My soul pants for thee,
for you, O thief of my heart
my heart that waged a secret war within my chest
waving the white flag of surrender
you have won for I cannot fight it

The battle was as if
sending smoke signals from adjacent hilltops
a wordless struggle trying to search
finding two hearts that beat as one

As in the spoils of war
I am your secret trophy
if just only in your heart
where I hope you keep me

For my life is forever changed
just knowing you exist
a beautiful dream
I shall never forget.

I took out my heart, piece by piece
from the bin and you stuck it back
fractured, cello taped, but back in one piece
And I wore it carefully on my sleeve for
them to see you were there for me.

Then it became toxic, what was cute turned into
poison. You grew sick. And I frantically
annoyed you harder, desperate
not to show what fear was driving me.

My naivety, my vain, my egos and my tears
I didn't know whether you liked them
Probably not,
Probably I promised too much to be kept up
All I know is I wouldn't show them to anyone
else, I put a wall for everyone but you to find out
I was a child and you were the plushie
ripped from me, then apart.

I was your Kitty but I am a stray cat without
a home. How can you be a stray cat with all
your diamonds and pearls? They ask.
YSL Black *****. Tiffany Collars. Cartier Bracelets.
I would give them all up.
A kitty will always be a stray cat, when without your love as her armor.

A greeting with no words spoken.
My longed-for thunderstruck moment.
The question that doesn’t need asking,
Where to go, where to go?

A passion that sends me reeling.
Too scared to love, but too scared to leave.
The look that leaves me knowing,
Where to go, where to go.

one
the one that caught your look
the one that heard the roses like you
the one that smelt like a antique book
the one that ****** you right off
the one that made you want to take your clothes off
the one that made your nerves feel electric

the one that tasted like love,
but was never fully digested.

the heartbreakers
and the still waiters.

for hope is still about,
waiting while they have some doubt.

In a spoonful of colours I dove
With a lust for the sacred one
Do you know how it feels?
I do.
You would love it too..
..feeling blue

They call me heart breaker
But you will never know
How my heart flipped, footsteps shaking
When I saw your back
Roses. Monograms. Black Umbrella.
Warming my hands on rain-washed streets
Canal lined with silver
Cosy bistrot, and how you lit my soul up

They say my heart is broken and gone
But you will never know
How long I wanted it to last
Luscious, wanton, bodies entwined
Chest against cheek, your heart beat fast
Burying my blush in your plushie
Grinning from the bottom of my heart

They say I am cold and merciless
But you will never know
How a girl with a brain as cool as ice
Red lips. Feline eyes. Velvet dress.
But I skipped all the lords and Barons
and accidentally left the rest of my life
tucked in a condo, me in your arms
on a cold January night
to Nicholas. the love of my life

twenty-two
taught me to never
Abandon.
like my father

it taught me that it is not
Blind.
like my mother

it taught me it is to
Carry.
like any other burden

it taught us to
Dance. for
Eternity...

that life can be
Filled. with
Genuine.
Happiness.

we are barely twenty.
yet it was, is, will be
Infinite.
Love taught me how to love.

Because you're the one I've been waiting for. The strongest, outspoken, funny, gorgeous woman I've ever met.

There's just not enough words I can use to describe how you make me feel,  let alone how I feel about you.

I won't lie to you and say I can't live without you but I can honestly say with each passing moment of my life I look forward to our next encounter.

I love how amazing you are by just being who you are, you don't pretend to be anything else because you know your true self is a gift to this world.

A person with heart problems would have died by know if their heart was beating as fast as mine within your presence.

Do I love you?  I believe so Yes. Whether you choose to believe me or not, you made my day everyday each time I saw you, even when it was just for a brief moment regardless of whether we speak to each other or not, just the fact that I saw you was enough to shed light on my day.

I want you to be a part of my life, I can't promise you a smooth sailing ride to happily ever after but I can promise you Loyalty, Respect, Support, Kindness, Humour and most Love.
