Winds whisper through shaking leaves
As dandelions dance around you and me
In the autumn breeze
My hearts an open ocean
Yeah, you’ll see,
like waves caress the sand
We’re connected hand in hand
With you, that is where I stand
I’m proud to be called your man
Sunset skies reflected in your eyes
I’ve been falling for you
Baby, I’ve fallen for you
Her soul is beaming through
I feel the chemistry build up inside

Sensations tingle from deep within
Just like air need to breathe you in
Yeah, girl, you’re my everything
Fill me with hope, fill me with strength
Yeah, girl, you’re my everything
Just like air need to breathe you in
Fill me with passion, fill me with love
I’ve got you girl, and that is enough
Fill me with light, fill me with joy
Yeah, girl, you’re my everything
Just like air need to breathe you in

Gotta song coming on,
Music in my bones
hearts synchronised
to a beat all their own
Just like stars, the nights are ours
Just like rain, you give life to me
You help me grow
You’re the knowledge
I need to know
The power you’re sending
From your magnetic connection
Electrified, re-energised,
vital signs come alive

Sensations tingle from deep within
Just like air need to breathe you in
Yeah, girl, you’re my everything
Fill me with hope, fill me with strength
Yeah, girl, you’re my everything
Just like air need to breathe you in
Fill me with passion, fill me with love
I’ve got you girl, and that is enough
Fill me with light, fill me with joy
Yeah, girl, you’re my everything
Just like air need to breathe you in

Beauty is found
Wherever you’re around
With style through grace
Your sweet cherry lips taste
The more I get of you
The more I get of us
Gets me hooked like a drug
You’re the bandage on my scars
I admire all that you are
Need you at my side
For the rest of time
I see us forever intertwined
Forever I want you to be mine
I see it in you, I feel it in me
I tell you all the things you need
Together we’re better
This is my never-ending love letter
For you

Sensations tingle from deep within
Just like air need to breathe you in
Yeah, girl, you’re my everything
Fill me with hope, fill me with strength
Yeah, girl, you’re my everything
Just like air need to breathe you in
Fill me with passion, fill me with love
I’ve got you girl, and that is enough
Fill me with light, fill me with joy
Yeah, girl, you’re my everything
Just like air need to breathe you in

every person goes through love
even when you’re alone
or a psychopath
you still love someone
love isn’t just endorphins going off in your brain
love isn’t just some cliché thing people use to analyse feelings they can’t describe
because trust me, love is unexplainable
love is complicated
you’ll be fighting one moment
and laughing the next
but that feeling of warmth will always be there.
love is difficult
sometimes you can’t figure out what the good kind of love is when you’re stuck with the bad
love is when you’re heart pounds so fast you can’t breathe when you’re around them
love is when you never want to leave their side
love is a paradox that no one can seem to figure out.
Stupid poem I wrote when I was literally in love with a piece of trash :)
Such a lovely way
You make my heart skip a beat
Like rocks on water
Love Has me feeling inspired
I’m breaking down like a melting sculpture
What is left to be seen
Is your reflection in the puddle of my dreams
Cherries and poppies
raspberries and strawberries
and fallen red leaves,
a burning memory.

Serious                                                 ­                                                          
somber
no smile

Come on, child
I don't have all day
What's wrong with you


Oh go ahead
take one anyway
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(early school years)
Serious face
somber
no smile

speak up, Child
no tales to tell?
of schoolyard adventures
games to be won?
you're so quiet...
what's wrong with you
cat got your tongue?


sad little face
tears running down
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(high school)
Serious face
somber
no smile

rattling papers
quivering lips
how long did this speech have to be?
knees won't stop trembling
how long can one take this misery?
can't see for tears forming

hot burning face
crippling disgrace
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(meeting)
quiet
tentative: "I have an idea
I'd like to present..."

loud
dismissive
oh let's move on
that won't work


("why did I bother to come?
I feel like a ****")

burning eyes
lip silently bit
don't let the tears slip
And people don't understand why I was shy and sometimes still am.
Mostly moved past this..mostly! :-)
Pain
Is
Temporary

Love
Is
Always

Words fly in fly out
was there ever any doubt?
words fly out fly in
fall down wasted in the bin
why does *****
sound and look
so much more
refined
than its
American cousin?

how can one little letter
"e"
make such a difference?

after all
it is silent
doesn't speak up
in defense of the word

just sits at the end
all perky
and quirky

though it does
impact
its fellow vowel
as if it has some
magical power

wonder who exactly
made up the silly rules
[rhetorical!]

I once was told
during a discussion
of the difference
in some of the "rules"
between here and 'cross the pond

by a very brilliant man,
a genius, they say
who happened to be a Brit
[Americanized]

I was told

"English
is just
a made-up
language."

And I had to wonder
did the others
fall from the clouds?
wash up from the sea?
just appear out of nowhere?

so now I wonder should I change the title
since I have two things here
oh, wait I guess that's three things
that
I wonder
Pure silliness!
he doesn't seem
to mind
the shower

in fact, it seems
he glories
in the contrast
that his splendid feathers form
against the bleak
and somber sky

the drizzle
merely gives him
greater luster
a glistening
that
shows off
the one bright spot

in the dreary
winter rain
