I hope you found someone
to wander with you down the dark alleys
away from the bright lights, the happy music
that play out on the concourse.

Someone who asks about the stains on the wall
that leak through from behind the doors
you don't mention to guests.

Someone who's more interested in how it works
than how it looks.

I hope you've found someone
who'll help you find beauty
in all the bits
you seem too ashamed
to look at.

Roses are red
violets are blue
I thought I was ugly
and then I met you.

We spent the whole of our lives
with "the rest of our lives".

until we ran out of time
Peter Lyon Feb 2016
We meet like fire and water, bursting into steam
swinging round each other, splitting at the seams
our slowly growing entropy, sees darkness before death
the energy, no sympathy, clutches its last breath.

You fall into my watering eyes,
through dance we somehow stabilise,
the swell between the crashes of the ocean,
the moments underneath the motion.

The stable explosion.
This is how it feels when I see my Fiance.

She lives in Malaysia, I live in the UK, we see each other for about a month every 6 months.

The softest footsteps move the earth.

Choose your lens freely,
then smash it,
if you can.

I'm grateful that they stomped on me
built me as a rarity
I noticed, rather recently
that's what makes me valuable.
