#safeandsound - Hello Poetry

Mon amour, in this room I am haunted by my cologne, that you stole and made your own; it lingers, like these feelings of you alone. My hands ruffle the sheets; nails and fingers birth wrinkles where they meet. Though the memories of your locks between my fingers... to these I retreat; to these feelings, I fall asleep. Pray return to my embrace, and end this eternal vigil with grace. Pray return to my arms, sound and safe; for each breath breathed without you here, is a waste.

Him

Breath's Waste.

Mon amour, in this room I am haunted by my cologne, that you stole and made your own; it lingers, like these feelings of you alone. My hands ruffle the sheets; nails and fingers birth wrinkles where they meet. Though the memories of your locks between my fingers... to these I retreat; to these feelings, I fall asleep. Pray return to my embrace, and end this eternal vigil with grace. Pray return to my arms, sound and safe; for each breath breathed without you here, is a waste.

The music drifts my mind away Each beat shuddering through my whole presence Making my heart thump and my blood frantically flow through my veins The city lights hide the dark shadows of the night Bringing warmth and safety to the room Like a big blanket that protects you from the things scaring you People huddle in groups, all enjoying the ebullience in the air Smiles and laughter could be heard from miles away Not a trace of unhappiness on this beautiful night I look around me, my eyes shining as bright as the stars Smiling at the sight surrounding me My stomach fills with butterflies and goosebumps trail my arms and legs And a warm feeling ignites within me This is a night, a moment I’ll never forget.

Moment

The music drifts my mind away Each beat shuddering through my whole presence Making my heart thump and my blood frantically flow through my veins The city lights hide the dark shadows of the night Bringing warmth and safety to the room Like a big blanket that protects you from the things scaring you People huddle in groups, all enjoying the ebullience in the air Smiles and laughter could be heard from miles away Not a trace of unhappiness on this beautiful night I look around me, my eyes shining as bright as the stars Smiling at the sight surrounding me My stomach fills with butterflies and goosebumps trail my arms and legs And a warm feeling ignites within me This is a night, a moment I’ll never forget.

She don't wanna speak to me. Me mind is hidden under a cloud of darkness. Dere's a feelin' of inner struggle. I must release reggae. spliiiiiff I rise out of me bed in terror. Me dreamt of a lonely island boy, lost at sea. Could you imagine, no friends, no food. No reggae release. spliiiiiff I'm trapped in a reggae box I can hear me boy screamin', but I can't find 'im. I call for 'im, "JACO! JACO, MY YOUT!" I must release de reggae. spliiiiiff The room is a maze, no exit. Could me premonitions be true? Could me boy truly be lost? No reggae release. spliiiiiff Me vision's too cloudy. All to be seen is rat-like faces, cringing. Their snouts snort and sneer to a reggae beat. I must release de reggae. spliiiiiff The floor falls from under me. A lizard's heavy gizzard appears below. Crooked, sharp teeth shining tru de dark. No reggae release. spliiiiiff Colours upon colours. An indigo man stabs, then rapes a magenta woman. Until the reds, and greens, and blues, explode from her stomach. I must release de reggae. spliiiiiff I catch me breath. I'm in me room. Safe and sound. Jeez, what a bad trip, still?
