You had me at a smile
no words needed
captured in exile
our eyes met
new course set
instant attraction
impulse reaction
everything else just static
one feeling, ecstatic
heart skipped not a beat
but a whole song sheet
swept off feet.

Your casual dress
no need to impress
as your beauty shines through
what happened to my brain?
i forget my name
David, who??
feels like electricity
running through my body
emotional complexity
still don't know who I be
class A, ecstasy
completely dazzled
brain still frazzled.

We got chemistry
soon to be biology
top of the class
full marks
first shivers
now sparks
extended hand
sweaty palms
nothing planned
subtle charms
hair stands on end
feel so weak
knees bend
i try to speak
voice falter
tongue tied
mouth dry
glass of water
just a mumble
brain fried
feet now stumble
reach for chair
caught off balance
all is air
failed first challenge
goodbye reality
hello gravity
you look away
feeling awkward
please stay
forever altered.

If I were a cloud drifting through space
I would never feel scared or out of place
I would float for days high in the sky
I would never need to question why
the sun would shine bright and I would glow
for all people to see far below
and when the rain came I wouldn't care
as it was tears of joy I tried to share.

Disarm with charm the arms of war
a chance to settle a thousand year score
to save mankind from blood and gore
and live in peace forever more.

My mind clouded with false judgements
my heart out pours in abundance
but no ones here to catch my tears
for no one hears my minds fears
i told them all to you once
but i guess even for you it was too much
for its full of ***** ******
whilst in my bed lies metaphors.

How long must we play this game?
where I get angry and you do the same
pretending that we just don't care
oh what a stupid pair
for what was our crux
from that tree is now plucked
so i cast my mind on new horizons
where upon my thoughts are silent.

Why do you look at me with that grin?
Why do you smile like you know something?
There is an emptiness inside
a pain I cannot hide
a memory I can't displace
that's shown across my face.

Why does everything turn to ****?
You and me we fit
and yet you still can't see it.
All I ask for is a day
to take us far away
from all this bitterness and decay.

No more lies
no more betrayal
no more alibis
no more denial.
So once more we may prevail
and rise again
like a phoenix
or Jesus.

For I am Mars and you Venus
upon the stars as we lie
so beautiful upon the nights sky.
How can any man a love defy?
Or even define?
For I am yours and you are mine.

one hundred children out at play
one hundred names or so they say
one hundred church bells that rang
one hundred voices never sang
one hundred reasons as to why
one hundred planes soared in the sky
one hundred bombs dropped from above
one hundred bodies burst with love
one hundred more upon the ground
one hundred hearts were never found
one hundred people hid instead
one hundred living are still dead
one hundred souls quaked with fear
one hundred ears will not hear
i love you.

We are all grains of sand on a beach
but if we all stand hand in hand we can reach
perfection like glass.
For our affection is all anyone can ask
and if we freely give as well as receive
we all can live in love before we leave.
