The sea treated us kindly,
falling into our open minds
and rushing back to the start.
We tumbled down in the
waves together, with the
earth all around us to
keep us young forever.
~~Keep me young.  ~~

My dear I’m afraid we will always be
Nothing more than chocolate and cheese.
Whilst you’re caviar, diamonds and fine Persian silks
I’m a 20p tabloid, sliced bread and skimmed milk.
Your standards: astronomical, but I’m easily pleased!
My pet, I’m afraid we’re just chocolate and cheese.

Yes - we’re simply chocolate and cheese.
Ask your sow of a mother, I’m sure she’ll agree.
She’ll tell you I’m feral and my manner’s uncouth
But doesn’t she know? She’s the living proof!
But you’re not much of a fighter, scared to disagree
Unlike me. We are merely chocolate and cheese.

Chocolate and cheese, we’re buds far apart
You love with your head, I think with my heart.
You keep your hands clean (whilst I get mine *****)
And agree to whatever whilst I’m getting shirty.  
If I’m daringly dairy, then you’re gluten free.
Too frightened to argue why we’re chocolate and cheese.

So, chocolate and cheese we will always be
From this moment on for eternity.
You’ve not made a case - is it because mine’s rested?
You’re too scared to fail whenever you’re tested.
You'll never be bold and explicit like me.
So forever you’re chocolate and forever I’m cheese.
Window pane rain drop
Drips until the pain stops
Staring out the glass, this gaze
Many days
Breaks the window, shatter, down

Oops

Glass is sand
I can pick it up
Hold it
Let it run through my hand

Stand and melt it, form it back in place
A grand addition to this space
No disgrace, distaste
Not one grain went to waste, with haste
I placed a smile on my face

It's okay

Who's enjoying themselves
Not those standing in those long lines
Or those broke ticked up for 2017
What's going on with all the joy
We're has the fun gone
Look don't bother with consumerism
Let it go all that queuing lark
Get creative write a poem
For those you love
Make cake and give it away with glee
Kindness gives joy
Joy is happiness
Just whats  needed in this darkness
Merry kindness
Joy love kindness creativity
A man once came to a teacher of great renown
And asked…
“What is the greatest function of a teacher?”
To which the teacher replied…
“To Motivate”
“But surely” the man replied...
“The greatest function of a teacher must be to teach!”
To which the teacher replied…
*“If I only teach them all that I know,
Then they will only learn all that I know,
And think they have learnt all there is to know.
But if I motivate them to seek knowledge,
Then they will learn all that I know,
And still thirst for more; much more than all I know.”
An old fable I read in a book

What if the mirror you stare
at suddenly believed in you?
What would the world do
with such a belief?
Would it second that motion
of such a Coming...mirroring
belief?

YOU LEFT ME BECAUSE OF THE CIGARETTES I SMOKE,
NOW MY LUNGS ARE BURNING MORE THAN EVER.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH IT HURTS.

I SAW OUR FUTURE SO CLEARLY

IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME THAT I MIGHT HAVE ONE WITHOUT YOU.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND IT HURTS.

I KEEP REMEMBERING OUR NIGHT TOGETHER-
WE STAYED OUT TILL THE SUN CAME UP.

BEFORE YOU I WOULD GO TO SLEEP HOPING IT WOULD BE THE LAST TIME I CLOSE MY EYES-

YOU GAVE MY HOPE.

I LOVED THE SUN AND I LOVED THE MOON.
I LOVED THE STARS AND I LOVED YOU.

GOD KNOWS I WISH I STILL HAD YOU.

MY HEART ACHES AND I CAN’T BREATHE.
I’VE CRIED LAKES AND I STILL HAVE RIVERS TO FILL.

IF MY TEARS WERE RED,

YOU’D SEE HOW MUCH I BLEED FOR YOU.
IF MY VEINS WERE BLUE,

I’D SLIT OCEANS FOR YOU.

I’M SO TIRED AND SO NUMB.

MY WORLD IS SO QUIET.

AND IT HURTS TO KNOW YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHERE I’M COMING FROM.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND MY PAIN RUNS DEEP INSIDE OF ME.

CUT ME OPEN AND LET ME BLEED.

I’M SO SICK OF THE PAIN AND SO SICK OF THE RAIN.
I’M JUST AS CLOSE TO RUNNING AWAY
AS I WAS TO YOU.

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO COPE BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW HOW TO LOSE YOU.

I’D GIVE ANYTHING TO LOOK INTO YOUR EYES ONCE MORE-

TO FEEL YOUR HANDS AND SEE YOUR SMILE.

YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE-

I’D TEAR OCEANS APART AND SPIT AT THE SUN.

I’D SHINE LIGHT AT STARS AND BREAK MOUNTAINS TO CRUMBS.

JUST TO SEE THE SMILE THAT TURNED MY HEART INTO AN ORCHESTRA OF DRUMS.

I’M FALLING APART AND ROTTING AWAY.
MY GOOSEBUMPS ARE STARTING TO ACHE.
MY EYES ARE TOO TIRED TO WAKE
.
MY LUNGS ARE TOO BURNT TO TAKE
ANY MORE OF THIS PAIN-


AND MY HEART WILL FOREVER BE YOURS TO BREAK.

‏-want me like i want you,
love me like i love you
