Romeo, Juliet They were better off dead For falling in love is just like getting shot in the head Come along, little fool What better way to learn the rules Than for someone to be cruel to you Miss Thelma and Louise Their spirits drift over Belize Lovers live forever and never learn to leave Mrs. Bonnie, Mr. Clyde Seems like everyone in love has died Not in each other's arms but by their side

Gangster ****
. Bonnie & Clyde You held my hart in your hands and my soul in your mouth, we watched the moon slip through the dark knight, A lullaby of blood and sticky labels, reach for the sky, reach for the sky, No more dollars, No more heists, No more; No more, Bonnie & Clyde. won't you save me, for I've been running all my life, I've been sinning, I've been stealing and I know that that ain't right, won't you save me, won't you teach me right from wrong, I've been sinning, I've been stealing, please take me home. We sang to the pound of the engine, you lay your head in my lap, so sweet so simple, you toyed with the coins in my pocket, reach for the sky, reach for the sky, No more dollars, No more heists, No more; No more, Bonnie & Clyde. won't you save me, for I've been running all my life, I've been sinning, I've been stealing and I know that that ain't right, won't you save me, won't you teach me right from wrong, I've been sinning, I've been stealing, please take me home. We danced to the backdrop of yellow fields, spattered with red confetti, shookhands with the devil, all dressed in rags, reach for the sky, reach for the sky, No more dollars, No more heists, No more; No more, Bonnie & Clyde. The devil he has taken me, and I can't run no more, No more sinning or stealing, for now my life is done; you can't save me, You can't teach me right from wrong, No more sinning, No more stealing, For now this soul has gone. Ten cops, camera and a smile, Photo for a trophy, V8 Ford full of holes, reach for the sky, reach for the sky, No more dollars, No more heists, No more; No more, Bonnie & Clyde.

Deny I deny the feelings i have for you. I deny every time you walk down the street and my homie ask if i love you and i say **** you but in the back of my mind all i can think about is how much i l rlly love you  I deny the fact the when you got a new man that it dosent hurt me because i know i can treat better then any ***** ever will I deny that you are not the most beautiful thing in the world because your beauty is what wakes me up in this world I deny that i dnt want you as my future wife Knowing deep down that all i want to do his hold you tight right by my side you as my bonnie and me as your clyde  I deny how intellectual you really are even tho your the most intelligent woman in the world I deny that i dnt think about you when i sleep but we both know your in my dreams always holding hands taking on the world as best as we can I deny i dont want to be your protector even tho i wont let anything hurt you I deny that your eyes arent pretty but gorgeous like the sunset over the seas I deny that your not all i want but you are the only thing i need I deny i deny i deny i deny I dont know why i deny I deny to tell you the truth all the time because  it might hurt  I deny that deep down inside that your not my favorite girl I deny your not my whole wide world I deny that this poem wasnt made for you to show my love for you.  I guess you will never know how i really feel for you because of my denial

Deny
Giving off pieces of myself to complete you You're a mess, but I can fix you Allow me to take you around the globe and let the world stare I wanna make you sure of your beauty, let's ride together And be like the '03 Bonnie & Clyde O'er the moon like the shining star No clouds can block our shine No sun can outshine us. Hand in hand we'll patch up to be imperfectly perfect, for me. The piece that will set my world in motion,my motivation. Tattooed into my spirit, you'll have a huge chunk of my heart to keep in yours. Capture a shot of you smiling, heaven never looked so beautiful. My kind of forever. By: @Ofentse_Tsie & @__Dvniel

Sunny Days
These harmonies and melodies. These vibes Pierce through my soul like knives These vibes move me and yet they paralyze me These vibes have such massive power These vibes, so sweet and yet so sour These vibes take me over and under They make me hunger Yearning for something deeper Just the thought has me growing weaker. These vibes fill me with desire Burning fire, take me hire. It's beyond what the eye can see In this moment, heaven is you and me. Our only enemy is time But for now let us pretend you were mine Sip me like a glass of wine. I shall conform to your deepest desire Burning fire, take you hire Let us pretend that I was your only Cause this vibe between us is almost holy. You and I , like Bonny and Clyde Just for tonight Like we were more than just a vibe.

Vibes
When a door is open, A love crook can steal the key, like Bonnie and Clyde, This couple is meant to be. These two are like Peanut Butter and Jam, One without the other is simply not possible, it's like having Thanksgiving, without any Yams! Together they are, together they be. Life without each other cannot be seen. What are those 3 words? Oh yeah, I LOVE YOU. Je t'aime, Te Amo too! I'm afraid if he goes away, I'll be blue. Some type of sickness, maybe the flu. But no, this couple is strong and won't break. This couple gives more and barely takes! My babe? My boo? Yeah nicknames, there any many more. I know this relationship will last, plenty of adventures we will explore.

The Perfect Couple
there was once a lady with a heart as cold as the snow feared by both humans and demons in reality in her younger years she befriended the devil and now they are inseparable they lived together in the darkest shadows in the most sinister of forests she was his muse his protegé he was her knight her lover they were like Bonnie and Clyde partners in ****** partners in chaos he swallowed her innocence and her purity and replaced it by a beast that can't be tamed thirsty for blood and obsessed by ****** she was like a burning wildfire with only one desire to devour the weak and **** the innocents she was a warrior but without a noble purpose

See the various Poems the scene of which is laid upon the banks of the Yarrow; in particular, the exquisite Ballad of Hamilton beginning— Busk ye, busk ye, my bonny, bonny Bride, Busk ye, busk ye, my winsome Marrow! From Stirling castle we had seen The mazy Forth unravelled; Had trod the banks of Clyde, and Tay, And with the Tweed had travelled; And when we came to Clovenford, Then said my “winsome Marrow,” “Whate’er betide, we’ll turn aside, And see the Braes of Yarrow.” “Let Yarrow folk, frae Selkirk town, Who have been buying, selling, Go back to Yarrow, ’tis their own; Each maiden to her dwelling! On Yarrow’s banks let her herons feed, Hares couch, and rabbits burrow! But we will downward with the Tweed Nor turn aside to Yarrow. “There’s Galla Water, Leader Haughs, Both lying right before us; And Dryborough, where with chiming Tweed The lintwhites sing in chorus; There’s pleasant Tiviot-dale, a land Made blithe with plough and harrow: Why throw away a needful day To go in search of Yarrow? “What’s Yarrow but a river bare, That glides the dark hills under? There are a thousand such elsewhere As worthy of your wonder.” —Strange words they seemed of slight and scorn; My True-love sighed for sorrow; And looked me in the face, to think I thus could speak of Yarrow! “Oh! green,” said I, “are Yarrow’s holms, And sweet is Yarrow flowing! Fair hangs the apple frae the rock, But we will leave it growing. O’er hilly path, and open Strath, We’ll wander Scotland thorough; But, though so near, we will not turn Into the dale of Yarrow. “Let beeves and home-bred kine partake The sweets of Burn-mill meadow, The swan on still St. Mary’s Lake Float double, swan and shadow! We will not see them; will not go, To-day, nor yet to-morrow; Enough if in our hearts we know There’s such a place as Yarrow. “Be Yarrow stream unseen, unknown! It must, or we shall rue it: We have a vision of our own; Ah! why should we undo it? The treasured dreams of times long past, We’ll keep them, winsome Marrow! For when we’er there, although ’tis fair, ’Twill be another Yarrow! “If Care with freezing years should come, And wandering seem but folly,— Should we be loth to stir from home, And yet be melancholy; Should life be dull, and spirits low, ’Twill soothe us in our sorrow, That earth has something yet to show, The bonny holms of Yarrow!”

I used to write about you so intensely, so determined that everything I said would somehow reach you and the ink would spill in your veins. I used to write about you with a pinched heart, an ache that never left my bones, and a crystal tear in each eye that never wanted to stroll down my cheeks. I used to write about you, hoping that the missing-you feeling would pass and that the visions in my head would be diminished if I just ******* wrote down how I felt. We were partners in crime. We were our own Bonny & Clyde, but you decided to get away with Billie Jean. My hair is falling out and the tears are streaming like blood down a pure river. I flushed my rosary, the one you gave to me, down the toilet and now the toilet’s clogged and I don’t want to get out of bed to fix it. I don’t even want to call your brother plumber, but maybe I will and maybe I’ll ***** him and leave lipstick kisses on the places I would leave them on you. I feel so sick when I get in this cycle, when I start writing about you again and when everything just spills out of the glass. But I still write about you because the therapist tells me to.

About You
Let's steal cheap knock offs from Wal-Mart And return them to customer service for gift cards So we can buy the real things Let's drive unregistered vehicles, WITHOUT insurance And lie when we get pulled over by the state troopers So all we gotta do is pay a little fine Let's get paid to buy alcohol for minors (like 17+, cuz you know that's not so bad) And party with them until just before the cops show up So they're all too drunk to give the cops our names Let's sell some of our food stamps for cash And use it to buy tobacco and tubes and make our own, non taxable cigarettes So we can sell them to the neighborhood for cheaper than the stores Let's be a modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Let's only steal from wealthy cooperations and the government. Let's be bad, but not so bad that if we get caught we'll go to jail, cause you know, I wouldn't want that.

Fashion designer Dame Trelise Cooper is holding her first show in Wanaka to help raise funds for the town's planned hospice. The September 30 Theatre of Fashion event is being organised by Wanaka fashion store Escape Clothing owner Lucy Lucas and the Upper Clutha Hospice Trust and organisers hope to raise up to $30,000. Trust fundraiser Bev Rudkin said the show was "such a coup for Wanaka". Wanaka hasn't had anything like this before and we know Theatre of Fashion will be an exciting event." The event will be held at the McRae family's Glendhu Station Woolshed and will showcase the Trelise Cooper Summer 2015/16 collection. It will also feature three Trelise Cooper 1950s-inspired installations. The event includes an auction of donated items, with all proceeds going to the Upper Clutha Hospice Trust. photo:www.marieaustralia.com/evening-dresses Lucas lost her mother to cancer two years ago and says the hospice facility is especially important for the local community. At the moment, Wanaka cancer patients and their families travel either to Clyde's Dunstan Hospital or Dunedin Hospital for hospice care. The Upper Clutha Hospice Trust will be a tenant in the Presbyterian Support Otago and Mt Aspiring Retirement Village's proposed aged care/dementia facility on Cardrona Valley Road. Construction is scheduled later this year. The trust is raising capital and operating costs for its patient rooms within the larger facility. Lucas stocks Trelise Cooper in her shop and approached Dame Trelise to see if she was interested in helping the trust. "Dame Trelise is incredibly generous with her time. She does a lot for community causes. Wanaka is so lucky to have her agree to holding this event, and for her to attend is even better. Guests are in for a treat. Trelise Cooper shows are always fantastic, with plenty of 'wow' factor," Lucas said. Dame Trelise said she was only too happy to help: "Giving back to the community is something I have always believed in. It means a lot to me that my passion and the work that I do can be put towards something that really makes a difference . . . I have some very loyal customers in the South Island who have supported my label right from the beginning, and it feels great to be able to bring an event like this to them." FAST FACTS What: Theatre of Fashion inaugural show When: 6.30pm, Wednesday September 30, 2015 Where: Glendhu Station Woolshed, Glendhu Bay Cost: $65 per person or $75 for front row seats. Tickets from Escape Clothing, Ardmore Street, Wanaka, or the Upper Clutha Hospice Shop, Ballantyne Road.

#31 | 31 Poems for August (Written with Naledi Tshikota) Write me a sonnet, point dozens of Cupid’s arrows to my heart if you dare to awaken it. Tune into your inner Shakespeare, fantasize us as Bonnie and Clyde if you care to spend time in it. Recreate the Titanic, recreate it with the ending of The Notebook if you can bear to believe in it. And if that doesn’t work, cast me to sleep like the Romeo you are and let me awake next to your lifeless flesh and dagger as I pierce my soul with it. Write me a sonnet, let every single one of those fourteen lines bleed with emotion. Leave The Notebook next to my notebook and become the protagonist of my dreams. Think like the wind and attain the kind of power that’ll allow you to blow me away on any given day. Your presence keeps transforming our thoughts into beautiful poetic paintings, Basquiat and Picasso would’ve been proud. Write me a sonnet, silence every impurity that does awaken my love. Summon the essence of my soul for the taking of your unforsaken hands and make Mona Lisa cry sacred tears of joy. Create simplistic glimpses that only our superior beings can understand, only then can I unleash my undying emotion towards your uncontested universe. Write me a sonnet, the kind that will make me realise that your heart isn’t filled with any doubt. The day I realised that words could touch you, I wanted to become a poem. The kind of poem that Maya Angelou’s ink always dreamt about. The taste of your smile still lingers on the edges of my lips. I see galaxies in your eyes, it must be in the way I love you like I do. I could’ve settled for less but I don’t want anyone else but you. Write me a sonnet that speaks to the heart of my mind. Because I always hear your heartbeat when I think about you. Write me a sonnet that intertwines our inner intuitions. A sonnet that makes you believe in shooting stars if you’re into wishing. And finally that captures the very essence of the unknown soul that’s unspoken of. Because it’s within your golden silence that I hear the loudest cry.

You are the moon who lights up my dark nights, The water thats satisfy my thirst, The wine that makes me calm and brave, Coz' I am an addict,that can never be rehabilitate Coz' you're the drug, who does not run in my veins nor in my brain You're infected in time,and you let me take my time You make me feel like,not smilling is a crime This is my dream,it did come true How i really wish we can do it like, Bonnie and Clyde in reality part two

Dream
*I still remember the day we first met. It was so magical, I will never forget. I was invited to see and try something new. But never would I have imagined I would meet you. One by one, we got to hold you and learn. I remember I couldn’t wait for it to be my turn. And when she finally placed you in my tiny hands. I didn’t expect you would change my future plans. I placed my lips on your cold silver mouthpiece. I took a deep breath and your notes broke the peace. I looked at her with impressed eyes and lips painted with glee. She praised the others, but the one she was most impressed with, was me. 11 years we have been together, where did time go? We already have so many memories, performing at every show. And the time we played for the queen, do you remember as well? I will hold you until my hands can no longer move themselves. I can’t picture a life, a childhood without you by my side. They said we were partners in crime, just like Bonnie and Clyde. And whenever I was falling, you were my never failing parachute. I love you to pieces, my old trusty flute.*

Silvery Notes
My type is tall with dark hair and dark eyes. The whisper of ****** hair on a jaw so square. Leave the clean-shaven men for other girls. Smart and witty, with music so gritty. And a smile so sweet and wide. Not sure what I implied, but I suppose I'll now confide that I'd be the Bonnie to your Clyde.

My Type
Outlaws in Love You, a chaotic beauty, Shootin' smiles from distance. A dangerous puzzle - Lost, with in your own existence. Me, a haywire mess, Trying to make sense of things. Willing to be by your side; In summers, winters, falls and springs. We, a crazy hybird of chaos and peril. Ready, to have a crazy ride. Ready, to be the outlaws in love, Like Bonnie and Clyde.

Outlaws in Love
If not for love, I would have done it If not for love, she would have said it I was just a kind heart, who wished for every good thing Oh now I know, everything can't be good as I want it There's always a bad side She was just a fair skin, who wished for every beautiful thing, Oh now she knows, everything can't be beautiful as she wants it There's is always an ugly side Together always, we cared less of square pegs and round holes Now issues brings concerns; we take note of every err and bad thoughts Bring back the days of old; when we loved like Romeo and Juliet Bring back the times past; when we had each others back like Bonnie and Clyde Please let us bring back the you, and the me, that became the us And hopefully, we could bring back again, everything we kept away For love is good, and it is good to be loved; One body for one good If not for love, I would have left you If not for love, she would have said it was over And if not for love, we would have been asunder   If not for love, I wouldn't have done it If not for love,  they wouldn't have done it My belief is different, and my faith is in God of all things Oh now I know, we may not be the same, though we have one maker There are Christians, and there are Muslims They worship in their ways, and they call on God for all things Oh now they know, we may not be alike, though we have one creator There are blacks, and there are whites Together always, we shared festive moods & feasts Now politics in between; we pick every fault & differences Bring back the old days; when we lived as brothers and sisters Bring back the past times; when we protected each other and kept one another Please let us bring back The Yoruba, and The Hausa and The Ibo that became one Nation And hopefully, we could #bringbackourgirls, that were taken away For God is love and love is God; One People under one God If not for love, I wouldn't have embraced them again If not for love, they wouldn't have invited me over And if not for love, we wouldn't have lived together   URBAN HOUSE POETRY© HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE™

*I remember being at the park waiting for you. I had my leather jacket on, a book on my right hand and tea on the other. You were the lights on a christmas tree. You were the confetti on a cake. You were Bonnie and I was Clyde. But you disappeared. Sooner than seafoam, And I was blue, bluer than the ocean.*

to the women of my life. Im ashamed to say I've done some things that never should have done. leaving you stranded at the first sign of trouble. not being there when needed at the most. taking you for granted thinking you always be there, how forgetful am I. the times we shared. the time I should have spent. all the gifts given to me foolishly spent as if a young kid with money for the first time. You know that first time you bought you own clothes. my mother would slap me for you. my grandmother would have loved you. I wish you were here my brother speaks of you often. we both wonder where are you hopefully living. miss your punk *** too. don't get f***** up you know I love you. I miss the way you subtly flirting with me I'm miss you lying. I respect your ways and failed to recognize the fact you respected mine. all of us have secrets. some of us wish to share more. yeah I'm still selfish in my ways into a matured understand the old cliche goes you never know what you have until you lose it. knowing what I know now we were just Batman and Robin Bonnie and Clyde bye bye blackbird. it's too bad sometimes my mother taught me way better than that. my sister would have disowned me not I'm a little more mature there's no second chance cuz the second hand is broken thus I leave it at that the woman of my life.

Clyde lifts her up And senses her go Rigid for a moment Or two, then he feels Her relax and hold In close to him, her Cheek against his Head, her arms and Hands caressing. I Thought you were Going to drop me There Clyde, Bonnie Says, easing into A smile for the old Camera, watching The camera focus, Flash and all said And done, the photo Capturing the exact Moment in time: the Cheek touching, the Hands caressing, her Eyes alive, the smile Like sunshine. Never Do that to you, Bonnie, Never let you down or Fall, Clyde says as he Squeezes her behind The knees, her breast Beneath the dress soft Against his chest, his Hand clutching his hat, And someplace along A country lane, some Tomorrow day, their Fate fingers out a date, A time of death, a ****** End, dying together; but Not today, and maybe, For them, at this moment In time, sometime never.
