Jayne E: Favorites

Jul 12 Jayne E

All of my favorite things
involve your
face

or the way your hair would
naturally fall over your eye
as though it was the veil
that was hiding the only
woman in the room.

Everything else is
obsolete
when you open
your mouth,

the world doesn't
turn when you
move,

the rain doesn't pour
when you
smile,

nobody sings when
you talk

piano keys won't pla-

Or uh...
something...

Self Care

I hope that one day
you come home with
somebody you
really love,

But more than
anything,
I hope that
person is
you.

Look after yourself, kid

Case Closed

In truth,
I'd love to believe
that he's gone to
a better place,

but
I'm not sure I
believe there's a
better place than here

with us.

A friend of mine came to me for a chat as he lost someone dear to him. I'd have loved to believe that his friend had gone somewhere special, but they were so close that I think that the best place he could of gone was round for a cup of coffee or three.

SHOUT

SHOUT

With all things
the mind displays life
in capital letters.

But in almost every instance,
life does not
shout.

Overthinking.

gen

I wonder what all
the greats would
think of this generation

and how their
morality

only goes as far
as the
breakfast
table

before it
eats itself.

Drive

So sincerely
   do I miss

the face you make
away from me

as though I
   can’t see

just how much
you’re smiling

when we’re
    out driving

on the
homeless roads

under the
candle-lit stars

on this
    romantic escapade

Road Traffic Accidents

Road Traffic Accidents

If you've never been in one,
the irony of
road traffic accidents
is this:

You see them all the time,
hear about them everyday,
you drive past the wreckage
engulfed in flames

yet, they'll never happen to you,

...right?

my mother would tell me:
'Don't rest on your laurels,
for tomorrow isn't promised.'

and I guess she had a point.

Almost Anything

Almost Anything

I would do almost anything
for you

Except watching the door
clip the back of your bags

knowing I could have done
something about it.

Cheerful Mornings

Cheerful Mornings

O' baby-faced days,
where kettles hum contralto
and stoves sing "Pancakes!"

Nothing beats a cup of tea, and a lovely breakfast in the morning; oh how British of me.

I miss the waves
that kiss shore
like the hair that falls
to greet your body

but when your
here with eyes
transfixed on
the night

and I get the
pleasure of
seeing it

nothing seems
so bad.
