#houseparty
almost everyone had left
by the time the clock
struck midnight.
you kissed me
at the top of the stairs,
then, after getting more wine,
announced to the room,
i’m staying here,
by the way.
my housemate
offered you blankets —
bless him,
so unaware.
you said
you’d take over my bed,
and i could sleep
wherever i wanted.
that was the night
i realised
i was madly in love.
i knew it may hurt,
but i couldn’t refuse
signing up.

sweaty bodies swarm the house
with a red solo cup in hand
filled with alcohol and bad decisions
others are outside sitting around a fire
passing the tobacco wrapped drug
talking about life and such
there’s a girl sitting on the couch
sipping her drink as she looks for the boy
she’s in love with

Watch me as I two-step, or
twinkle my toes, or
Shake my body,
dancing two, and fro,
There ain't nobody's watching,
time to rock-n-roll,
watch me as I two-step, or
Twinkle my toes I go!!!
I'M JUST DANCING ALL AROUND, and
HAVING A BLAST,
FEELING SO OPTIMISTIC,
HOPE THIS FEELING WILL LAST,
YES,
My own HOUSE PARTY,
Having so much fun,
Ya'll be doing th same,
I'm not the only one!!!
SO, IF YOU'RE FEELING GOOD,
FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR SHOES,
Get on up, Feel the Groove,
GRASP THE MUSIC, AND MOVE!!!
NOW, GET ON UP, AND BOOGIE,
HERE WE GO, HERE WE GO,
KEEP ON DANCING, AND
GROOVING,
AS IF NOBODY KNOWS!!!

i tidied the corners,
stories simmered in the chilli,
scattered petals on the grass —
rose-red, next to a single lily.
i’d chosen the music with care,
but laughter co-wrote the score,
each chorus pulling us closer
to something warmer than before.
we bathed in rain, clouds, and sun,
each one carrying a moment,
where secrets come undone,
and quiet truths are spoken.
the fairy lights lit up,
as the world flipped slowly —
a circle of soft goodbyes
turning intimate into holy.
as the solstice faded,
and it struck twelve once more,
a day like this feels sacred,
as the season shifts the shore.
this night won't conclude us,
though the dusk will surely dim.
we are only at the beginning,
on the edge where stories swim.
