White privilege' a phrase I didn't understand
I accepted every man
And I assumed the rest of the world did too
Sure, a racist joke is fine, whether crossing a black or white line
It's just comedy after all, no malice is meant for a fall
Together we'll still stand tall
But then I looked outside of my world
Where the conscious stereotype in abundance sprawled
From another's point of view, it's a completely different view
Even in this time and day,
If your skin isn't 'white' you're likely to pay
A price, of some sort,
As professional worlds are warped
Why can't a black actor play James instead of Jamal
And what if you let the brown guy play the lead role
We are a multi culture,
Our screens should reflect the present and future
Who cares for the colour of your skin
Ability in your craft is how you should win
So, looking through some casting calls I see instantly,
The affect white privilege has on this community

Wild flowers creep up your skin
Relentlessly Spring finds life through the cracks
Feeding off your tears
Emitting floral scent
Without consideration for regret
Hope never stopped to think about hoping
Nature never considers early death

You told me to imagine all of my dreams
Ecstasy came and doubled them
I crave every delicate detail over and over again
I fill in gaps with ambience, touch, taste and smell
Words are powerful as hell

Words escape my mind and my tied tongue
Your uniqueness stuns  
Complexities and hypnotic eyes
And that old cliche
Of butterflies
Rise
You are poetry

Your lips  
That delicately powerful trip
Of your kiss
You touch in midnight blue
Calm as the universe
Before galaxies set off shooting stars
You are poetry

Interpretation, things unsaid  
Pains of hopeless love and untimely death
Sea of planets beneath your skin
Synchronisation, acoustic vibration
A gentle heart, a genius mind
Maybe misunderstood at times
A kindred spirit came to find
You are poetry

My inspiration, it comes from you
You see,
You're not only the sun
You're also the sea
You're the waves that rhythmically flow
You're the tide that comes and goes
You're the bobbing rusty boat
The cocky seagulls gloat
You're the smell of crisp sea air
The merry-go-round at the fair
You're laughter carried in the wind
And ice cream dripping on skin
You're wrapped up fish n' chips
The brave that take a dip
You're the walk to the end and back
You're the sleepiness I lack
Once home and unpacked
And the ***** laundry stacked
I replay it in my mind
Knowing you're never far behind
You're in everything I see and do
My sweetest dream is always you

How it looks, like bold perfection floating on a cloud
Strong yet round, palpably profound
How I see it in my body and my eyes
Gripping to my mind, dancing on my ribcage
I taste hot excitement of metallic and wood
Fresh cut grass and sandalwood
You come alive inside my mouth
Layered complexities arouse my tongue
My eyes are alive, my heart races to the beat of you
The garden sings with life and eagerness
When your name is around
