My sweet heart when you
reach for the very first kiss,
make sure you don’t miss.

As my eyes close shut
I already see fear of
Losing you in dreams

I don't want to think
about what could be, I want
you inside my arms.

As each day without
you in my presence I turn
To my minds penance.

hoping you are with
me, before I can even
finish the sentence.

Don't shut me outside
Because I will get used to
Your featureless door.

I would not want to
spend, a second away from
you against my chest.

Unhinged circus,
Requires perfect masquerade,
Before gymnasts leap,
Into Cinderella's world,
Spiralling into fame.

Before presenters go on stage,
And broadway groups dance,
Into undreamt wonders,
As actors rise and fall,
Her maple core remains.

As years elapse,
Girls become Women,
Perfect maple figure unscathed,
Always anticipating moments,
Of celebration, love and sorrow.

But most of all,
I still can't fathom,
How the dressing table speaks,
Invaluable untold stories.

Taking long drives,
Through these country roads,
Catching butterflies,
And memories along the way,
Taking advantage,
Of the nicest of days

Dipping our feet in the sea,
Of sheer iciness,
Instantly feeling like needles,
Prickling our toes,
But we keep running as far as we can,
Holding hands,
as we go.

Eating a lemon top,
In freezing cold weather,
Not a single care,
When we're together,
Villages, pubs,
And countryside,
Our two hearts,
Will be full inside.

Even as summer passes through,
We always go back,
To that cosy shelter,
Whilst you're wearing 3 layers,
And my best sweater.

Birthday on the London eye,
Trying to count the bowler hats,
From up in the sky,
And seeing how many bulldogs,
Walk closely by.

Queuing for hours on end,
But filling in that empty void,
We call conversation,
Psychotic bond,
No hesitation.

I remember at the royal wedding,
As they passed by,
New princess with her dress sparkling,
I whispered in your ear,
You look much more beautiful, my darling.

You are the everything
I could never be
I will never have
I would always hold
I will always love.

Yet I still
swim
in
t
e
a
r
s
of knowing
I lost the everything,
I already had.

Read my eyes not my
Lips, as my eyes move towards
You, without any thought.

Peak at the stars,
Gaze at the moon -
Hide away safe,
Come again soon.

Become my shield,
Knight to his horse -
Fairy-tale dreams,
I will be yours.

Rescued from myths,
Dragon's include -
One true loves kiss,
Hearts are renewed

We taste sweet perfume
From freshly mown lawn as we
Roll through pollen trails.

Staining clothes like we
Mark minds with familiar
Scents and surroundings.

I rummage and scout,
Whilst I juggle the impossible,
Throwing finely edged blades,
Seeing how many I can grab as they fall,
Poised to strike,
But fail to meet a deadline,
Sieving through minutes spare,
Just to sit for only one.

Fireflies dance through
The night, lighting outside with
magical aura

Perhaps One day
our love will d

                        i
           ­             p
Like rain from washed up gutters,
But perhaps, one day,
All of my love I've given,
Will be thrown into the air
Like flower petals
for our constellations.

F

into a puddle
Of mud and mulch,
Like the heart inside
My forever drained and washed
Out chest.

So again I made a fool of myself
only to fall at the last hurdle
scraping my heart on the way down.

It's funny really...

Like I should have known how it felt the last time.

ha, I never learn.

What's to say this blistering
heat that burns day by day will **** me?

What's to say I let it just because
I've become accustomed to the pain?

Because if I'm not clear, despite the eagles eye of cupids arrow that was a direct hit, I'm afraid I'm out of arrows.

I was a fool...

I couldn't give myself, to anybody else but you.

So I threw the rest away, I was almost certain, I had finally marked your skin, with the only heart I had to offer.

We got told love was
Foolish, so we both smiled and
Became bigger fools.

Pointed nose jumping
between shrubs, glowing orange,
Playing hide and seek.

Your vibrance is like
foxglove, in small doses it
Is medicinal.

You control my heart
And volume of blood per beat,
Healing conditions.

When you consume all
Of her poisonous nature,
It kills you quickly.

Fragments of your soul
Still make me flutter every
time I think of you.

I can't shrug the vast curiosity
For the beating heart that strives
for her has become flat lined,
a line that no longer represents
hot coals of my love

The quivering shores are barren
to the sand that we count
as it is lost in winds of time
and life experiences.

Fast paced indecisiveness is lost
with my teenage years.
As is the confidence and acceptance
to sparks of love.

My soul shakes at the thought
but my heart leaps from my chest
like salmon up stream,
forgetting the cold waters and unable
to remember the tune.

For I am a bruised man.

So I cant risk the shards of this
glued heart being handled again,
As one drop, one fall,
could mean the end of my affection.

She broke the gateway
to my heart, and let herself
flood all the way in.

We leapt over the
River, with nothing but a
Spring in our step.

Destination home,
My room begins to spin,
Memories of amusements,
And copious amounts of Gin!

all of the stories we have,
a beginning, middle, end,
but we got lost chapter one

As you breath,
With trapped lungs,
Like a fly caught,
In the silkiest of webs.
Her manifold shell,
Multiple eyes of harrowing,
A succubus to the harmless,
dampening a gentle candle lit,
In sheer darkness.

******* on our blood,
Like a hundred leaches,
Her nature thicker than mud.
Fluid runs smooth,
like ash and water,
but she stains your heart,
in gray poisonous matter,
Using you like puppet on strings,
from the very start.

She hides behind the lies,
That she fills within your head,
like a hot air balloon,
soaring through skies,
Unaware of what's below,
Avoid prickly skinned women,
They'll eat you alive.

Pinches on my skin
Remind me I am still caught,
In grips of your love.

Scaly pointed skin,
Log shape body, razor teeth,
Spinning coil of death.

Goosebumps layer skin,
As wandering hands arouse
Your Inner secrets.

This life simplifies
Perspectives if you can see
The beautiful side.

Leave your hairbrush as
The insignificance still
reminds me of you.

Every whisper,
Is an explosion,
Every tear
Is a tsunami,
Every touch
Is a pin *****,
All because
You're the abrasive,
Yet benign woman
That I need,
to keep me
On the tips
Of my toes.

Whistle me a tune
Harmonically syncing
melody with mine.

Play me a chord just
so you can hear what I have
been keeping inside.

Deep down I know this path was chosen for me, whether I play with cards and deal myself a new deck, or if I decorate my life with glitter.

I know what ever has happened has gone - put behind the curtains and closed for no one to see again.

Then even as the stars burn completely across the sky like drips of lava onto the icy surface, one by one descending into the faded night.

We still search for the sky that once was - but remember the coldest nights in December, were only made for us to hold each other close.

We remembered the only stars that we needed were in each other's eyes the whole time - only to glisten once more.

Knowing I would fight for you until my dying breath - whether you want me too or not, because you've already stole all of the air from my lungs - snatching at the last sharp piece of air I had to offer.

You pulled me into a vortex of uncontrollable emotions - and I fear I will spiral out of control as I don't know what to do.

But oh how I've forgotten what it was like - to be switched off from the irony of social media, and to talk the hours away like we didn't have enough.  

The laughter that's trapped inside our stomach - alongside the excitement of knowing the ins and outs of each other's purest souls.

Knowing I have you to dine, knowing I have you as mine.

knowing our souls are one design, written in horoscope sign.

All of these little things you seem to do, stealing my heart like a crime.

Makes me remember why, I fell the first time.

Little thorn like spikes,
Rustle through my garden leaves
trying to catch bugs.

Her smile caught my eyes,
Whilst her dreams alone captured
Every piece of me.

Her eyes glisten like
The drops on morning dew grass
Through beams of sunrise

Becoming this
Becoming that
I admire the heart
that wears the skin
of a woman
who knows
what she admires
herself.

''Twas her love and strength,
That forced my fragile, weak heart
To beat fearlessly.
