Could you dream
Your way into my life
Could you
Climb into my awaiting heart
Could you live
With trembling moments
Could you try
To calm me down
Could you go
To almost any length
Could you take
My rough and smooth
Could you give
When I don't deserve
Could you feel
My great intent
Could you cope
With my ups and downs
Could you read
My great many poems
If you could
I would be yours.

When the one you love is 1671 miles away
And you can't bring yourself to stop thinking about him
And you drown yourself in thoughts of him
And you bathe in memories of him
And you swim in his words
When your smile is held up by his arms

THAT is when life means the most

i forget
that you cannot live
through eternity
and neither can i
but wouldn’t it be so lovely
to relive the seasons
just to watch
winter’s freckles
fall onto your eyelashes
and summer lighting
your lips gold
because my lifetime alone
is not enough
all we have is years
years are never enough

You are perfect to me
But perfection rolls differently off tongues of vipers
So be warned because they are coming
To taint your heaving soul
In all its coiling perfection
It will grasp onto any knowledge
Any rumour
And it will spread it into the fathomless places
But you will still be perfect to me
Even as they rip away your walls
Leaving you vulnerable
Unshielded
Writhing beasts will come upon
And no one can stop them
How they perceive you is who you are
But I perceive you to be perfect
Don't let them grab ahold of you
Because they will compress every last tendril of hope
From your lungs
And murderous ink will drip from the punctures
Of their deceit
So heed warning and don't go near the viper pit
If you wish to retain perfection

i used to be able to find you whenever i wanted
like my favourite star in the sky
but now you're just a flicker in my vision
your voice is just another noise in the walls
they said that you cut your hair and got a new tattoo
i couldn't prove it if i tried
we used to need things from each other
like the moon needs something to twirl around
but you are a sun and i am only a lost planet
and the universe is these walls which hold us together
and keep us apart
