The poetry's dried up
Like a drop of water in the sahara
Any inspiration now evaporates
A thirst for words
Like cracked lips
Peel and sore
The rain came, washed down onto paper
Sorrows and sadness, splash
Drowning a page in rythm and wonder
The pitter patter beat
Giving life,
Where there wasn't before,
Saplings took to the ground
To soar ever higher into majestic beings
But now the acrid earth thirsts
Heels clack with rock under foot
The hacking of lungs as
Dust perfumes the air and
A ***** smell of burning lingers
Catching tightly at the back of your throat
Scorched ground gives way
To a seeming never-ending drought
Of words.

Your heart is not an object you can give away
Metaphysical
Its something you've forgotten
Analytical
It's all in your head
Psychological
Love is just spontaneous
Chemical reactions in your mind
To future the human race
evolution
It's natural selection
And a probable, statistical truth
You'll find someone you
Relate to
Serotonin pumps
Testosterone too
Then oxytocin to complete the brew
And you fall in love
Glazed eyes will connect
Start writing poems about
How she's so perfect
But then my friend
If this were true
Why does my heart yearn for you
Why do i have sleepless nights
This isnt right
If these were chemicals in my mind
Its been a year
Surely they'd disappear..

It's hard to give a second thought when you walk ahead,
You turn,
The beaming smile and energy excites me,
I jog on to catch up,
We grab hands,
Clutching hold, drawing from the grasp,
I lift you up and swing you round,
The laughter explodes from inside,
Infectious, we fall,
Playfully roll and sigh.
A perfect spot.
There's a castle behind us, and a chasm in front,
Trees bright and vibrant sit longing nestled between us and the sun,
We see it falling from the sky,
A great blaze of fury, anger and still somehow tranquil and calm,
You cuddle up to me and i pull the blanket over your shoulders,
The soft weave tugs on my stubble,
I really should shave, my mind starts to wander,
Snapped back by a sharp kiss on the lips,
A cheeky playful bite,
I follow your gaze to the hilltop
Through the trees
As the sun settles hazily beyond the horizon,
The heat dissipates from the air,
It's getting cold.
So you scramble to get up from my chest,
to turn and take his hand,
I call your name, to no reply,
Soulless and broken i stare into the dark,
As white falls from the sky to coat the ground,
Lay back down and let the ice take you.
The sun will come up soon.

So here i am once again
Wide awake at 2am..
It's been a year and ive got nothing to show
While you dance the night away like we did long ago.
Celebrate a new step in your life
While i clutch at straws and worry and strife.
I know where you are, what you've done, how you feel.
You don't need to lie its clear
But this ******* scar won't heal.
You sip your champagne and still kiss his lips
You've forgotten mine, dry and chipped.
I'll sit alone on this ****** up night.
Knowing he will hold you tight.
I don't know why i bother, or care.
But i do.
I always have.

A flick of a wrist, floating harmony
Fingers dance, twist and sway
Pluck and strum
The chords shape so heartily and wholey
The air reverberates and shivers the spine
But surrounds you, a warm embrace of song
You feel so fine
As the grandeur grows and grows,
Rythm picks up tempo swaps and shifts fast slow fast faster
The minor mirrors your mind, that soft depressing tone
Another strum springs alive,
Your fingers pick up pace
Pluck, pluck, pluck pluck PLUCK
SNAP!!... twang, ping.
oh
You were playing with my heart-string
The music dies,
And so do i.

You ******* said you loved me,
As you kiss his lips,
Youre words mumble and fumble and fall dry from your mouth
You ******* said you wanted me,
As he touches your hips,
You shake, he shakes, raise your arms and dance.
That steady beat, the bass booming,
Thats my heartbeat slowing and stopping.
Im so angry, calm, sad, and stirring.
I know it doesnt make sense.
I see you, laying in front of me, i kiss your neck and love you with every bit of my heart.
You can feel it trembling the sheets, keeping long winters at bay with body heat and love.
My fairy tale, my love story, my whole heart and poem of my life.
This ends badly.
Ive been punching my pillow with tears in my eyes for too long now.
Its over.
Im done.

Twas the night before christmas, i had no idea
Except from the children that'd walk by and sneer
My rag lay before me, all wrapped up in it
Was the thing that i treasured, my beautiful flit.
Four legged and panting, she was my saviour
With me through winter as ever an angel.
The cold winds blew, and i pulled her tight.
She gave a small yelp, i gave her a fright.
She looked up to my eyes, black and cold, but full of love.
I whispered "i love you" and took off my glove.
Placed it on her nose, to keep it from freezing
Like the ice on my guitar, as cold winds were breezing.
Wrapped the blanket, round flitz nice and tight.
Then settled in, for a cold hard night.
I woke to more silence, a cold brittle day.
Looked down to see, a sad empty glaze.
No yelping, no panting, not even a stir.
She was gone from this world, my only treasure.
So as you sit inside, warm and wrapped up.
Think of me, and my poor pup.

Dancing, glittering, sparkling,
Sun beams bounce and sear,
Penetrate me, blind me,
The jingle jangle of your mind melts mine
Encapsulated in amber
A forever frozen still, polaroid
Preserving our adventure
Love life
Every days a gift
Unrap, let go wander and ponder
We break the mould and slime and grime
Fight through norm to perfume ourselves in essence of unique splendor
No-one's like us try, try and you'll never find a pair
So exhausted my mind bends, malleable as china
I crack
We fall break shatter
My broken splintered merry frozen mind.

What'd he think if he knew what we did?
How could he feel,
You on my lap, you in my heart.
Maybe it'll all be ok, we'll be together in the,
End.

Irrational, thoughts, feelings, words, lost meanings.
I love you.
What does it even mean,
When you love him, or me,
You say things that make no sense
To get over happiness
Youll suffer through an unloving unheartfelt black kisses.
Youll let him love you and touch you,
When you crave my fingers and heart.
IM RIGHT HERE
Ill scream my ******* lungs out
and for what.
For a future with you,
For comfort, safety, security and happiness.
Ill go to the end of the ******* earth.
I hang on, bare tooth and nail and grit and blood.
Just to be dropped,
For nothing and noone special.
"Nobody is like me"
Lay your head on my chest my love,
It was just a dream.
