Am I foolish
Is this love
Am I impatient
Am I in lust

My heart lies bleeding
For your touch
I run to him
You don’t give me enough

Baby I want you
Darling I crave you
I don’t know where I’m supposed to be
How can I feel so deeply

You check them
Before you check me
I can’t give my body
And feelings for free

I wanted this
I admit
But I didn’t expect
To feel like this

Baby I want you
Darling I crave you
I don’t know where I’m supposed to be
How can I feel so deeply

You’re not mine
I realise
But who would I be
If I didn’t believe

Who would I be

If I didn’t believe

♾

Swifts soar in the ancient sky above me
Flapping wings to calls of freedom
I stop
Take in the watercolour sky
Brushes of wispy white
The sun glows bright
I hug my dog
I appreciate you
I appreciate the trees
And I appreciate the sounds of this evening

Your smell is fading
I close my eyes,
feel warm inside
Replay  
“You’ll never feel more alive”
You say
You kissed me soft, you stroked my skin
You pulled me in
This ancient thing
Called love




Bit my back, tugged my hair
****
These feelings are so rare
I drink in your eyes
You’re right
I never felt more alive
I study your mouth
I connect with your soul
As stories are told
Your heart beats hard
Through my head
As I lay on your chest
Forgetting the rest of the world

Coloured flowers on your skin
Bird silhouettes fly over me
The tarmac is warm
I’d drive forever
I remember your kiss
But be satisfied with shadows

I inhale, exhale on the breeze as the ocean rolls in and over my feet
I stand looking out to a world of black with dragon fire in its belly
You cling to my heart, climb my ribs and kiss me
I’m drowning on repeat in a sea of flashbacks and fantasies
I can’t touch the bottom

You move like water
Over my body
Your wet mouth enticing waves
Visceral and tangible collide
In to the silk of your skin
In slow motion
Until we reach the shore
Of stillness

I was thinking about what you said.
Have you ever walked along a beach surrounded by millions of shells and pebbles and out of all of them one catches your eye and stands out above all the rest? You have to pick it up, feel it’s smoothness and edges.
No one else stands out like you do. I don’t see you as average.
