My body quivers, my eyes flicker
The bed shakes, my heart quakes. 
Will the neighbours hear the moans my mouth makes?
Caresses of feathers, vibrations of joy.
I wish it was you, not my favourite toy.

My eyes sting, I rub them raw.
My eyes sting, I rub them more.
Everything is heavy, everything is grey.
I want to rub my eyes away.

Today I had ice-cream for breakfast.
Ben hugged me, Jerry kissed my face.
Cherry Garcia added love to my waist.
Lying in bed, just sugar and time.
I didn't hate me. It tasted divine.

I saw a lady in the mirror today,
I didn't know her, so I turned away.
Glancing back, she fixed on my stare;
So I decided to ask why she was there.

A face familiar, yet shrouded in grey,
Lines of laugher, joys of yesterday.
Eyes that should sparkle, but shining with tears
Wrinkles of frowning, furrows of fears.

So oft called the sunshine, yet stuck in the rain. 
A 'golden smile', grimaced in pain.
But in the blue iris, a spark holds my glance; 
The fight is still there, she's still got a chance.

The darkest of moments, before every dawn
Dissolving in feelings, allowing to mourn
All boundaries broken, the light can flood in
Waking and breathing can count as a win.

A smile teases to show as her shoulders pull back
The face of a beauty, braced to attack.
No words spoken, but everything's clear.
She came to tell me, I'm worth being here.

When I see you I'll hold you like never before,
Good luck peeling me off, I'll just squeeze you more.
Like a lid that won't budge, I'll embrace tighter still
Close my eyes, take you in, feel every feel.

Just like a fine wine, you've had time to breathe;
Let me bathe in your flavour, the taste of relief.
Daydream-filled moments, leading to now
What once was prosecco is now vintage Crystal.

Effervescence of contact, scared I may burst
Drinking you in, attempt to quench thirst.
Skin on skin warms me, senses alive
To love is to touch, to touch is to thrive.

So please do indulge me, play with my hair?
Enfold me entirely, leave no space for air.
My darling, I've missed you, do you understand?
What I really want, is to hold your hand.

When this is over, our eyes they shall meet.

My heart, it will flutter, as you pull out my seat.

Light hearted banter, what should be the first toast

Cocktails or bubbles; what have we missed most?



My hand may graze yours lightly, no longer a crime.

Our smiles will glow brightly, your grin matching mine.

We'll savour each second, indulge in each 'feel.'

Zoom; you were great, but life is best 'real.'



Surrounded by laughter, the warmth of a crowd

Won't hear my own thoughts; will LOVE that it's loud.

Giddy with excitement, for I've had time to think;

Yes please mr barman, I'll order my drink.
