jacqe-booth - Hello Poetry

This young love This winter dream It would seem I am the luckiest man Alive. I hesitate to say the words That sit safely nestled, nursed and budding Inside me The words that speak of love and loving. You see I am falling Scratch that, Have fallen, Am smitten And calling Your name Alongside the name of love. I love you I am in love with you. I am loving So much love For you. This growing colour inside my heart Is a picture Still painting Of you. A masterpiece in the making. A priceless piece of beauty tied by An endless string of dreams. This surreal happiness. Nothing is as it seems. I check myself hourly With a pinch To ensure I'm not dreaming And that this Extraordinary feeling Is real. Upside down, You've turned my frown Into a smile And I would walk Infinite miles To return The love You Spill inside me.

It would seem

This young love This winter dream It would seem I am the luckiest man Alive. I hesitate to say the words That sit safely nestled, nursed and budding Inside me The words that speak of love and loving. You see I am falling Scratch that, Have fallen, Am smitten And calling Your name Alongside the name of love. I love you I am in love with you. I am loving So much love For you. This growing colour inside my heart Is a picture Still painting Of you. A masterpiece in the making. A priceless piece of beauty tied by An endless string of dreams. This surreal happiness. Nothing is as it seems. I check myself hourly With a pinch To ensure I'm not dreaming And that this Extraordinary feeling Is real. Upside down, You've turned my frown Into a smile And I would walk Infinite miles To return The love You Spill inside me.

You stir a dormant bed of leaves inside me And in your youthful breeze They dance a lovestruck storm In my heart. I skip through The street All smiles And singing. I'm swinging On clouds And falling carefree Into the warm chasm Of your soul. All fear departs Free falling I wait for the soft pillowed thud Of heart on heart. Dancing through the street Your voice The rhythm that moves My feet The way you look at me The melody. Looking up And falling down Be warned I'm falling Into you

Falling into

You stir a dormant bed of leaves inside me And in your youthful breeze They dance a lovestruck storm In my heart. I skip through The street All smiles And singing. I'm swinging On clouds And falling carefree Into the warm chasm Of your soul. All fear departs Free falling I wait for the soft pillowed thud Of heart on heart. Dancing through the street Your voice The rhythm that moves My feet The way you look at me The melody. Looking up And falling down Be warned I'm falling Into you

These feelings Run river deep Channeling through me This feeling of falling And knowing That the impact of landing Could not possibly compare To the faith I have in you. You've taken my heart Which was Surrounded by a 12ft wall And climbed despite your fear To be near To be by my side You cracked open the vault And are nestled So warmly welcome inside. You found behind the walls My heart Locked in a cage And brought with you The universal key You have unlocked me. With this freedom Comes love And with this love Comes a smile That stretches A mile Beneath my skin.

Running deep

These feelings Run river deep Channeling through me This feeling of falling And knowing That the impact of landing Could not possibly compare To the faith I have in you. You've taken my heart Which was Surrounded by a 12ft wall And climbed despite your fear To be near To be by my side You cracked open the vault And are nestled So warmly welcome inside. You found behind the walls My heart Locked in a cage And brought with you The universal key You have unlocked me. With this freedom Comes love And with this love Comes a smile That stretches A mile Beneath my skin.

Until now I had felt a sense Of alone Free roam Taking over me. Now, I see, Differently. I am not one. Rather many And this single entity Is plenty. I am love. For all my errors made I am my own undoing My own repair. For every solo step taken I dance for all. For every crouched and howling boy, Small, I am tall, An echo, Resounding. There is strength here In this solidarity. We, love, are one. Together as we are alone.

My own undoing. My own repair

Until now I had felt a sense Of alone Free roam Taking over me. Now, I see, Differently. I am not one. Rather many And this single entity Is plenty. I am love. For all my errors made I am my own undoing My own repair. For every solo step taken I dance for all. For every crouched and howling boy, Small, I am tall, An echo, Resounding. There is strength here In this solidarity. We, love, are one. Together as we are alone.

Tracing patterns Breaking habits Pulling white Rabbits Out of tall hats Lined by tall lies. Lacey disguise Covered eyes Still peeking Seeking To see without feeling. To run before walk To lip closed talk fill the room with secrets Exposed.

No song I could sing No whispers in your ear Could ever Amount to the volume Of language I want To dance for you. In me You lit a fire That burned through The stagnate black And sparked my desire. I am pyre, Burning, An effigy Charring In cheers’ to love and loving. I am ***** ash And floating No more devoting Naked flame to This blaze That burned For you. Through Hands...

I got everything I need Right here All around me Like a shadow To my body A paper trail Free flowing Behind me S’all free Incredibly Near And never far. Sitting on the edge of my tongue Feel it in my fingertips Light slips between The layers of everything I need Sitting Knees crossed Beside me.

Something sits Unstirred Inside me Something Dark and resting Something Stark and waiting Bated Listlessly Listing A ship unbalanced A stone upturned A lover spurned A nightmare earned. There is silence Screaming Tongue tied From the place Where my throat meets My clavicle. That puddle in the skin Beneath which My voice Spins Out of control Whole And bidding, Hidden.

Listlessly listing

Something sits Unstirred Inside me Something Dark and resting Something Stark and waiting Bated Listlessly Listing A ship unbalanced A stone upturned A lover spurned A nightmare earned. There is silence Screaming Tongue tied From the place Where my throat meets My clavicle. That puddle in the skin Beneath which My voice Spins Out of control Whole And bidding, Hidden.

With this pain Comes the dull roar Of rain Within The already drowning Chambers of my heart. Dryness depart And all that’s left Are stale Puddles Of discontent Better left Drying. Trying Crying Denying The slow seeping Scars That tunnel deep And creep from one hollow To another.

From one hollow

With this pain Comes the dull roar Of rain Within The already drowning Chambers of my heart. Dryness depart And all that’s left Are stale Puddles Of discontent Better left Drying. Trying Crying Denying The slow seeping Scars That tunnel deep And creep from one hollow To another.

One foot In front Of the other. Onwards and upwards Eyes front. Quiet tears Pool within Heels digging in I will not cry I cannot cry I shall not cry **** knows why I am swaying on The fringe Between Falling and fallen crawling Slowly slowly Duck n weave Heart on sleeve Hiding behind corners Eyes down. Tight frown Eyebrow furrow I am the badger Burrowed The ostrich With his head Planted Quietly In the ground. I am sound And sounding Calling Crying Trying So very hard To just Keep on Keeping on.

**** knows why

One foot In front Of the other. Onwards and upwards Eyes front. Quiet tears Pool within Heels digging in I will not cry I cannot cry I shall not cry **** knows why I am swaying on The fringe Between Falling and fallen crawling Slowly slowly Duck n weave Heart on sleeve Hiding behind corners Eyes down. Tight frown Eyebrow furrow I am the badger Burrowed The ostrich With his head Planted Quietly In the ground. I am sound And sounding Calling Crying Trying So very hard To just Keep on Keeping on.
