An Expression of Love

Expressions of Love: Part I

Written On/For: 4/4/2023 / 02/14/2023

Title: An Expression of Love

 

Sticky notes cover my brain

Thousands laying on top of each other

Each note is a scribbled remembrance

Of the things you hold dear

Of your favorite foods

Of your likes and dislikes

Each note a thought of you

And as time moves on

I will keep these sticky notes

And ...

I Want You to Know

I want to tell you.

 I want to write it down. 

I want to have the right words.

I want to feel them. I want you to feel them. I want you to feel what I felt. 

I want you to know. About everything. I want to show it to you in broad daylight. 

I want you to see it. I want you to face it. I want you to taste it 

when the water turns to bleach. I want it to blister the inside of your ...

'Listening to Elvis, thinking it over'

I wish I knew what to say

I look for words

But they just escape me

 

I look for a sign, everyday

But the faith I feel, it fades away

 

Set the alarm, wake up and keep on going

But all the while, my tears are flowing

 

What about the love and joy that I felt in my heart?

Please don’t tell me we’re destined to depart?

 

Elvis’ dulcet tones, makes its way right ...

FIRST LOVE

I would be lying if i say I didn’t miss you

Because deep inside i know i did

 

You were the love of my live

But soon I realised it was best to let you go 

 

Pain was piercing my soul with each passing day

And it was time for me to say my last goodbyes to you

 

It’s been two years and 

Life has been good lately no pain no sorrow

But deep inside the thought of you st...

Tears

They trickle  down ebbing the pain of bygone days..
They celebrate joyous times fervidly
Silent spectators, intensely flowing with craze.. 
They best know my soul and captures it so vividly ..

Fool's game

Fuck it, I will let myself fall

I'll allow my stupid heart to get broken

Hopefully you're worth it

If you're not, then perhaps I deserve it.

 

You could be everything

You could be nothing

You could be the highest of highs or the most epic of lows

You could be my ebb, you could be my flow

 

You could be just one night

You could be the love of my life!

You could b...

New love

My darling, sorry for the delayed reaction

but this time I feel it, electric attraction

 

Most days you're literally all I think of

somebody save me, for you I am odd 

 

Tell myself I will take it slow

that just ain't my style though

 

Whenever we say goodbye

I instantly dream all about the next time

 

You are fascinating, liberating, you're so intoxicating.

4AM

Lets talk and talk some more on your living room floor,

delibarating til' the clock hits four

 

Sweet tobacco scent,

your soul is up for rent

 

Our birthdays they fall in the same week,

I can feel the signs in the way you speak

 

I told you I'm crazy,

you told me you liked it

 

I knew you weren't lying.

Abolish anger (it's a wasted emotion)

So much beauty

so much anger

so much comfort

so much danger

so much hate

so much love

so much push

so much shove

so much warmth

so much cold

so very young

so very old

so much intelligence

so much ignorance

so much despair

so much bliss

I can feel it in your punch but I'd rather it a kiss.

This heart

Where the hell are you?

I've been waiting for what seems like my whole life

I can't get it out of my head

I thought by now I'd be someone's wife.

 

Nothing turned out how I thought it would

Is it for the best, for the greater good?

 

Why is the heart such a fragile thing?

With every rejection I feel the sting.

 

I look in the mirror but it ain't me looking back

My love

My love, I let you down

I promised I'd be there but started to drown

 

My love, I was in over my head

Why did we pass ships at night as we climbed into bed

 

My love, the only love for me

I just want to say sorry, I am so fucking sorry 

 

My love, I see your face everywhere

There's not one other face that could compare

 

My love, my beautiful friend

You were ...

Blue Movie

It's better when I write things down, 
I can be more meticulous.
Then I remember you called me a child and said I was ridiculous. 

Perhaps you shouldn't have made yourself so inconspicuous, 
it could be said that we would not have got into 'this'.

You picked at the conversation and I gave my participation. 
I rather wish I hadn't for now I'm left anticipating. 

Did the Indian Ocean pi...

Old & New

Shuttles soar with seemingly unprecendented motion.
The children's eyes gaze to the floor.
The ground is green and brown and yellow.
The world below cannot bellow.

Bellow whole-heartedly,
Sing and hum its' tune.
A melody, sweet melody.
A rotation for all of you.

Its' sweet chillness pressed against the nostrils,
Its' gentle warmth against the skin.
Allow the gaze of the star above,

Graffiti

Graffiti

 

the brooding

malcontent

with paper cut

heart

stares at a wall

of graffiti

and thinks

I could do that

so he picks up

a spray can

unleashes

his feelings

in dribbling

white letters

fifteen feet high

his blood

becomes molten

his rage is

a torrent

of years

without voice

a scream

to be heard
