When We Are Lovers

.Reading time 2 minutes.
In the infinite moment of us
You walked away and the broken trust
Still slits like shards of glass
On the ground of the class
That only ever gave me a pass
In it’s hall of induction 
And some babies are born with the power of suction 
But it’s not something I think that I will do 
And it might not be me but it could be you
So go make your life 
With the girl that I call your wife
I won’t interfere
Just know it’s because I hold you dear
And I could never fulfill 
Your last testament and will 
Of a perfect fold 
My streets are paved with gold 
But I only walk them when I want exercise 
Like I only look at you when I want to see your eyes
And the disguise fall 
Oh, all this endless talking to the wall 
And you may never leave her
But I think you believe her 
When she says that I am troubled too 
But I’m just bubbled like you
Brewing like a pot on the hob
And seceded like a man on the job 
As he hammers the nail into place
I look away when I see your face
In every man I meet 
I just can’t take the heat
Though I would like to try
And I know you wanted to die 
But I couldn’t fold the paper
And I don’t hate her
I am grateful to her 
For being there for you 
When I was sailing a sea that is so blue
Telling you about the rainforest 
I did give you a promise
That I would return 
But I didn’t realise the letter burn 
In the fire with the stamp still on
I love you that’s why I’m gone

From Afar

.Reading time less than 1 minute.
The sound of him
Is everything win
In no forest I can grasp
And maybe I should’ve 
But I didn’t ask
Now you have her
And as far as I can tell
Everything is going really well
But I can’t watch you for an eon
Or an era
So I ditched the scales
I used to sear ya
To forbode
You’re carrying a heavy load
And relief
Should be yours
So instead of shutting doors
I’ll leave this one ajar
And love you long time, from afar

Momentary

.Reading time 1 minute.
It was momentary 
Just a little hint of stardust
As we danced to the silence of your heart
And I realized we would never be apart
That there’s something in your eyes
It’s in the movies in disguise
And I remember watching Yvaine
Soar above the pain
In that summer of 08
It was August and every breath that I take
Informs me of something new
And, honey, it was you

Now you’re far away
And weaving in and out between
Dancing in 
Some kind of dream
And there are words I don’t utter
But when you smile I melt like butter
Into a puddle at your feet
I’m still absorbed by the way a black hole will meet
The light that moves to its own pulse
And I must inquire does love repulse
Opposite poles like two magnet shapes 
Did I fall in love or did I forsake

And we’re all at sea in our separate lives
We do anything just to survive
But I catch you catch hold of my hand
Help me into a carriage I don’t understand 
As it takes me somewhere new
There is scenery but it sings of you
And the us we could be
Or already are like water is free
To flow through rather than under
And I may have deleted your number
But it’s just coz I’m defeated and going under
The tidal weight of the ocean we are
You caught my eye like a shooting star

Darkness and Peace

.Reading time 3 minutes.

The love of my life, did I ever think it could be
In the moment we met did I know he’s for me
Cacophonies and dreams all spiralled in one
With an inky black core, in the dark he’s begun
He smiles. Eyes with the sun, mouth with the wind
So he’s lit up and free in the second he grinned
Like the foot of a mountain with snow on the top
Gods hand in the clouds or his curly brown mop
Reverence and awe shine in my hands
As I hold up to him my bare open palms
I’m nothing in this, grassy fields by his side
The air ripples through and my breathing gets light
To do justice to him and honour him whole
Fills up my mind and takes root in my soul
I start for a second and trip over my toe
Because I’m shocked by the feeling he’s where I’m to go
The spirit in him is all I can feel
So light and so pure, nothing I can steal
I’m held for a second in this dazzling white light
And when we move closer respect burns me bright
I nod my head here as his words tumble out
I smile at his face when his eyes fill with doubt
He listens when I talk even though I’m a fool
And the way that he smirks makes me feel like I’m cool
He understands everyone, each knock at his door
Doesn’t turn away beggars or start to ignore
Compassion beats fast in the heart in his chest
As he buys us all crisps, one for me and the rest
He makes his own day from the things that he does
Wakes up devotion in the people he loves
A man like this, to meet on my walk
Close my eyes for a second and God starts to talk
To bring him to me and let me touch his hand
Is far more horizons than I ever had planned
Whisper invisible alights on my cheek
It says go to him, give him all you seek
In dark days of silence, wrap blankets and tea
When he gets lost follow him to the sea
I’m burning inside to be a hug for his arms
A sink soft armchair to be there if he’s harmed
What can I do? I’m lost in this maze
But a home for his head leaves me unfazed
Dewdrops and silence fall in our tears
Stillness and warmth in the drop away years
Embracing and full in the care of above
All of this world born in His love
