We never thought that love would look like this;
Side by side
Wading through the ****
Balancing bliss
against all the meaningless bits,
That take up all our time.
Life a constant try,
One heavy foot in front of the other,
Struggling for breath
As we're smothered
By the muchness of another day.
Another 'get up and do it all over again'.
We never thought that love would look like this;
Too tired to persist
Beyond the zombie-like list
Toward expectation.
Barely braced before the tide comes in
And we're swept, heavy-limbed
Into the next ******* thing.
Floundering, like caught fish
And on the cold, unfeeling deck
Of existing.
We never thought that love would look like this;
Side by side
Laughing through the ****
Finding bliss
In all the meaningless bits.
That take up all our time.
Life with you, sublime
Even in the trials.
When smothered,
I breathe in every
'Why i love you'
Every 'why I need you'
And every 'why id never be the same
Without you here'

Only the heavy
Know how light
Love can be,
Or how quickly
A stone
Can be shaped
By the breeze.

Beauty queen,
Lipstick crusting rust-ily
On a serene smile -
The curl of sleeping beauty's
Mid-dream whimsy -
Frozen against the cold stretch
Of pavement,
as if to kiss the earth.
Breathy laughter stilled, glassy eyes - gilded with steet lights -
turned to the distant horizon,
Where there are rainbows,
and kind men, happy endings,
And dreams,
We all pretend
Come true.

We are not the sun but the shadow,
Not in the bone but the marrow.
Our Secrets deep,
where cretins creep
And none hear the call of the sparrow.
We are not the stars but the dark
Not in the soul but the heart
Skin could keep
Us all complete
But our knit is a stitch pulled apart
We are not sound but its shape
No murmur, just the oultine lips make
Whispered sweet,
Where meaning meets
The subtle truth that lies never shake
When love is not soft
And life isnt light
When all that is wrong
Somehow is our right.

Well the eyes are the windows to the soul,
A throne for all the thoughts
ruled by self control.
Too well they are dismayed,
fooled by faux gold
But I tend to find my dreams are fine,
if I keep them closed.

Could we convince our scars
That the world isn't sharp,
That it means no harm?

I see the world horizontally,
Soft sheets all stuffy
With potential hardly realised.
My eyes, heavy and unhappy,
Are blinded by the muted sunshine
Mocking me through the blinds.
The hum of life,
Doing fine just outside the window,
I feel its energy,
Almost laugh at its impossibility.
Because I bear the world brutally,
Confined and coffin-ed
In an ache that leaves no stain.
Lady Macbeth,
My crime is wept on evidence of
unliving,
Those shrines of *******
Laid to rest around the head
Of this tomb effigy,
Chronically enshrined in invisible agony
While the world just carries on.

I miss you
In the way lovers used to love
- Urgent, daring,
Desiring more than
Just touch.

Every miniscule molecule
I make mine
Meanders from,
Mightily moving mountains,
To meekly maintaining mounds.
From harmlessly heeding horizons,
To heroically holding off hounds.

My epiphanies never last
Rising and popping like bubbles in a glass
Frequently falling flat
No real form for all their fizz.
