I loved you
For all the wrong reasons
I loved you perhaps
For the very reason that
I couldn’t have you
You would never be mine
I loved you because
You were so different
To those I had loved before
I loved you mostly
Because my heart overruled
I love you now
If only because
My heart still does
Blank paper
Blinks its virgin lines
Taunting me to defile
An untouched page
Red lights separate
Me from home, darkness descends –
I travel alone
Emerging from the deep –
Eyes
In another mould
Pattern of creation
Replicated
Sweetest words
Whispered in my ear
Enraptured by your charm –
Slippery sliding snake
Under the moonlight
You wrapped me in your arms
Amidst the dark
We admired stars
The world became
Just you and me
The setting sun bare witness
As suddenly
I caught my breath
I felt your lips upon
My hungry skin
Pulling me into you –
I melted
Today
Is when my dreams come true
Today
Is where my love shine through
Today
Is when I take those steps
To share my heart and life with you
I heard bad news
From afar
Suffering and agony
I want to help
Wish for a magic wand
But there is no wand
Or magic
And the tales
Are too sad
To tell
It breaks my heart
I asked you to stay away
I asked you not to touch
I asked you to never stray
It wasn’t very much
So next time you want
To draw very near
Next time you long
To drift over here
Don’t
Early morning rays
Wrap me in an embrace of
Love and quiet peace
