Come find me and we'll fly away,
Keeping hurt and fear at bay
As we float towards stars and land on the moon,
admiring the Earth from our cosy cocoon.

No consequences,
Free from responsibility,
Liberated from menial life.

Who said that Death was a Physical Impossibility in the Minds of the Living?
Until my heart sings with love I will let it pulse with lust.
Our bodies fit together but you’re not my other half.
Does this sound daft?

I need you, I like you, I want you. You pick me up from the ground,
But I am waiting for love to come along and sweep me back off my feet.
You're with her now
And not with me.
Its fine, I cope, but miserably.

Its thoughts of you inside my head
While I lie alone in bed.
Longing, loneliness, and Love
As hopeful as a shot down dove.
But I don't die, Oh no, not I,
I stare and ache, refuse to cry.

Convinced I'm strong I bear the blow,
The bruising takes a while to show.
I'm lost and flailing, heart's a mess.
Hurts more and more,
Not less and less.
If I were to die tonight, at least there'd be no pain.
Eyes closed, peaceful, listening to the rain.
I'd play a haunting album, one that makes me feel,
All emotions that I've ever felt, the ones that make life real.
It's not been long since I arrived but time is slowing, gone.
But what a way to die my dear, is listening to a song.

Its a quarter past eleven, and I'm listening to heaven.
I know what it's like to have everybody there
But just feel like you're completely alone.
As if you're talking, they don't listen,
Are you even there at all?
Are you dreaming?  Are you sleeping?
Insignificantly small.

I am screaming, I am crying, I am tearing up my soul.
As I'm dying, they're all lying, there's no further left to fall.
If I lay here in the dark,
No one would blink, no dog would bark,
Because I'm alone, lonely, lone.
Let go, old life, so I may fly,
With flutter of wing and blink of eye.
I close the door on ages past,
I rig our boat, put up the mast.
We'll sail from here on mornings tide,
Loves light shall be our only guide.

Look out, the rocks, they'll take us down,
To where you'll never lift your crown,
To where no breeze will fill the sail,
To where our love is sure to fail.
Just keep your head above the surface,
Deep breaths, my love, they'll serve their purpose.

They'll sing to us as we arrive,
We'll say 'Rejoice, we're still alive.'
Walk, we shall, up that red floor,
Until we reach the golden door.
It shall not jam, it shall not creak,
And bow before us, shall the meek.
Poem inspired by the style of Christina Rosetti
Lying on the cold beach
Pretending to listen to the waves crash and watch the stars shine.
All I heard was your heartbeat,
All I saw was your chest rise and fall with each breath.
Clinging onto your hand
Because every secret second counted,
But never daring to lift my cold lips to yours.

I felt them breathing warmth on my forehead and that had to be enough;
It was love and I clung to it tighter than I clung to your hand.
