‪That warmth in the lights, ‬
‪up in a distant home, ‬
‪far from icy winds‬
‪slaking a winter howl...‬

‪...it feels just like her‬
‪walking into a heart,‬
‪which knew only cold, ‬
and making it a home.‬

My life like soft grey clouds
floats in front of me.
I see pictures
of past cliches-
flashbacks of heartbreaks,
And some of love and warmth.
I grab from these pictures
a few abandoned dreams,
before they disappear
in the thin air.
I choose merrily,
I choose merrily what's mine.

Blue.
The warmest colour I know.
When you embrace me in your arms,
I'm no longer cold.

Blue,
Hearth of the Sea,
The fire it brings,
The fire I need.

Blue,
Oh please stay for the night,
I don't want to say goodbye,
Let me look longer,
I'm finally home,
In your eyes.

Lifted from the river of routine
Wring from me, the wetness of weary
Let me dry upon the soil of desire
I stand in fields formed by the fantastic
On each vine I spy
Time growing ripe and restless
Hearts swelling in soft feeling
Laughter long and lasting
And everything is in abundance
So I ****, pluck, pick
Accumulating these unclaimed riches
And bottle them into wine
A thousand bottles I store
Then the fine liquid touches my tongue
Delight dances upon the taste buds
And I’m wealthy, in love, in time, in laughter
For years I do this
Learning nothing new or worthy
Banning all knowledge
For even a single frayed book
Could disturb
All of this
Bliss

To me, you are a noun, verb adjective and beyond.
You are a flash of lime green in this black & white world.


I love you.
I love you and nothing can push me away.
For you are a beautiful warmth,
comforting every corner of me.


Your smile is the key to opening me up.
You squirm inside and set a cozy fire.
Then you distribute the love by waving your heart.
And sprinkle my soul with your golden sunlight.


You'll never even know,
but darling, you own my life.
I'd let you **** me,
drown me,
and torch me on fire.
But I won't ever let you look away.
You never know how one glance can make me you-less forever.


Everyone has standards holding them up.
But I have
and only need
my precious baby you.

as the dense look in your eyes embraced me
your lips grip onto mine
clutching me tight
cloaking me from all pain.


i am a solid woman
but to you i am vulnerable
you contain the power to break me
melt me to pieces.


your dark eyebrows protect me
as the essence of you comes closer
you fix me with your glance
seasoning me with a smile.


lifting me up
                               up
                                            and away.

This house is filled with coal dust
inhabiting our lungs
poisoning our blood

It is how it has always been
cold and dark
unforgiving

But there are these moments
of warmth trickling through the cracks in the walls
They are sparse
like the earrings offered to me today
by the shadowy figure of what seems to be my mother
But they are precious
as the diamonds within them
Appreciated
Cherished

These are our diamonds in time
where the cold fades slightly
enough to be noticed
And I
I believe in the warmth of the world again
if only for a moment.
