I waltzed on the dance floor with Ellie,
Hands around her waist,
Her face buried in my neck.
She smelt of sweet honey,
Soft to the taste,
But such a warm and beautiful wreck.
Our love was something else,
We were the delicate fragrant roses
That grew from concrete.
When I taste her under my tongue,
The room turns quiet,
Colours brighten,
And there’s finally some peace.

Darling, it’s about time you come home,
I told myself.
Facing the ceiling with warm hands crossed
At my stomach, my eyes glued on the wall,
Mesmerised by the shifting mandalas,
Bright colours and overwhelming joy.
The weight of ten lifetimes rose from my lifeless body
And waltzed away into the cool air.
I convinced myself that it was just for fun,
But really it replaced the warmth that has been
Stripped away from my being,
If anything, this is my healing.

She let the tiny pieces of paper under her tongue
Bring her closer to a temporary euphoria,
But reality hits when the ego rises from the ashes
And her sweet trip is over.

I want to share
I want to give and receive
I want to dare
I want to leave.

I like to believe that I am a man of words
But right this moment, I am speechless
Not because I don’t know what to say
Not because you made my thoughts go astray
But because there are no right words to describe what I feel

The frame of the language limits the story I can tell
My love for you feels like a spell
It fell on me, leaving me no choice
But to surrender, and listen to that voice
Whispering to my ear I should not be afraid
I am still breathing, I am not dead
Even though it feels like I am in heaven
Living in a space where my heart’s not broken

At a time when everything seems to have a price
It keeps feeling like I can’t afford you
I want to let everything go, roll the dice,
Forget everything except you

You’re so perfect, it’s hard to believe
I need to be pinched, it feels like a dream
A dream I will forever share with you
As I know one day, I will say “I do”.

The first lesson of life
is to tie your shoe laces.

That way life cant
  unexpectedly trip you up

when you
          
                          least expect it.
