Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again

I suggest that everyone on HP should spend some time with their words extrapolation and see what the HP computer thinks of their efforts  It's enlightening!!

You need some gas? We'll, step right up
And pump it 'til you've had your fill
Unless you're in New Jersey, where
You best make sure you know the drill.

For it's the last remaining state
Where pumping gas is not allowed
Except for paid attendants and
Of this New Jerseyans are proud.

So even if you're in a rush,
You must sit in your car and wait
Until a service station guy
Can bother to accommodate.

And if you try to speed him up,
You'd better learn to zip your lip,
For then he'll wash your windshield,
Slowly, hoping to procure a tip.

When questioned why this law exists,
Which out-of-towners do detest,
A local politician said,
And I can just assume in jest:

Perhaps our Jersey diet
Full of greasy food's to blame;
Therefore, if we pump the gas ourselves,
We'll burst right into flame!

You hide yourself in us so beautifully
No one notices that you are within us
You take over when 1 is feeling sad
also when one is very happy

I sit in my comfortable corner and wonder
What is your aim....
It is to be recognised, acknowledged and accepted
And if this above mentioned are done
Will you stop your ways of increasing the pressure

You get me thinking hard without any lead
Without anylead to your aim

I must say I think your main aim is to destroy lives
Is to end lives
Your way of winning is a corpse in a grave
That is your accomplishment

I know you... i know you on a personal point of view
You take over a life
A life that end in loosing interest in life all together
1 becomes new to themselves
1 thrives to find new ways to be happy in life but not too happy you(depreciation) don't aprove

It annoyes and irritates me the fact that you want more
You want more than you take/took
You specifically want a life
You want once precious life

I don't think I will allow you to do that
No I refuse to let it be
You taking over 1ns being  and their life
No you cannot

Accepting you in us might be the only
The only weapon will use to defeat you

So I think

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

I want to be the one who drives you insane.
Late night, cigarette smoke, kiss me and don't let me go.
Drive me to where I can see the stars and infinite galaxies.

***** on my breath and you're the only one who can make me tick.
I want to get under you skin like you get under mine.
I want to slow dance in the dark to the static of an A.M. radio.

I want to be lovers and friends.
I want to know what you look like when the sun kisses your face in the early morning.
I want to know what you look like when you cry

I want to see your face and your lips when you whisper, "I love you".
I want you to remind me who is always in charge as you slightly graze my throat with your hand-
And I let a Cheshire smile slowly appear on my face.
I want a dangerous love.

— The End —
