with burnish of false veneer
he spouted words
to thine ear
as an unknowing
dill one listened
one had succumbed
to the warbler's charming
sound
that time honored adage
doth hold so true
be of guarded view
whence a dodgy line
is sold unto you
ne'er settle for a spurious
claim of love
the warbler
unto your heart
states his undying devotion
yet there is no substance
to his currency's
valuation
Just to be able to embrace you without looking around the room
Being able to kiss you passionately without caring
To say I love you and to hear you say it back
To be loved without fault
To have your love
No secrets no lies
No deceit
Everything's justified
A Love of My Own

Slow.

We’re moving too fast
Running through a storm
Of desire and lust

Look upon us now
Breaking the rules, and how

Flashbacks galore echo in my mind
A blast of pretty colours
But only in the Polaroid

Everyone’s telling us to slow down
To back off
Give it a rest, pick it up some other time

But who are they to tell us what to do?
Who are they to tell us how to live?

I’m taking the risk, diving in headfirst
Confident and in love we are
Shun the rest of the world
Shut them out

Hit the brakes too early
And now we’re crashing
We’re falling down
Sprawling out in the snow

We broke the rules
But it was worth it
Worth it every time
We’ve got a lifetime of memories to show

Joe Cole
Cold, wet, shivering
Standing miserably in a dark doorway
The one I called home
A home without lights, without warmth
A shadowy figure loomed out of the
Swirling mist
A shapeless faceless figure in the dark
Without a word, without stopping
It reached out and pressed a piece of paper
Into my hand
In the damp half light of the following morning
I looked at the piece of paper, to my amazement
A lottery ticket
A few hours later I walked into a news agent
Asked the man to check the ticket
Sometime later and still in a state of shock
I walked back out
Richer by £50,000
Thank you faceless Samaritan

Here we are
touching, laughing, and kissing
like we used to be
but it'll never be the same
because
my love for you has faded
just like the moon sets
in the east sea

Its true.*

We live for eternity.
We all live even after death.
Forever and a day* after that.

And when I die
You'll still find me living.
In the trees and in the air.

In the mountains,
And in the waves on moist mud
Driven by the breath of Earth.

And after the world dies,
You'll find me in empty space.
Or perhaps near an asteroid.

And...after the universe dies,
I'll be either in a crammed cosmic egg
Or in a torn and still place.

Its not a promise of immortality
Not even anything about a soul.
(Because I don't know what is a soul
And thus can't express it through words)
But its a promise of eternity
Which shall never be broken.

Because its a promise we have made
To ourselves.

**** you stupid boy
For making me queasy and shy
I've got butterflies in my tummy
And stars in my eyes

**** you stupid boy
I've got this stupid grin
I cant wipe off my stupid face
And now I've got goosebumps on my skin

My head is up in the clouds
And my heart has bounded to space
Today I put on my t-shirt in reverse
And set my pancakes ablaze

Today I walked into a wall
From giggling at my phone
I got hit by a bus
Instead of walking straight home

When the bus hit me
I was still smiling and did not move my feet
Now I have to explain to my terrified parents
How I broke all my teeth

The puzzled doctor was astonished
He said I’m sorry there’s no prescription I can give
That can cure your chronic state of love-sickness
And hopefully let you live

**** you stupid boy
You’ve got me on a thrill
My hearts on a roller coaster ride
And quickly going downhill

**** you stupid boy
you make my face go red
when I read your stupid messages
when im supposed to be in bed

**** you stupid boy
You've got me in complete reverse
I mopped the dog and walked the mop
Please break this silly curse

The other day I was walking
and suddenly the lights went low
then I realized I had walked into an open sewer
that was left unclosed on the floor

I’m wrapped around your finger
And there's not a single trace
Of a sense of focus
On my absent minded lovesick face

**** you stupid boy
You’ll be the death of me
Next time the bus won’t break my teeth
I’ll just be history.

All I wanna do is be under the mini branch
          Just to kiss you since its the time of the year
        For that maybe then a spark can occur
            Your lips can upon mine and it's a haramita  
      Be smitten by ur eyes when they have locked onto mine
       After the kiss has been done
                 My cheeks turn red as well

For me on this day
Opening presents are kinda  exciting
All except 1
&  I don't  usually know which to save for last
But  I'm thankful for  what I get
Even if its simple things
Gazing  at the tree that plays music  
Admiring   the pretty lights
Pretty just like me
Most of all what's important
To me is the breaking the bread part
For my whole family
Being grateful for what we have
What were blessed
