I saw the muscles in your chest
flex
lift me off the ground
sex
saw rippled and golden
shoulderblades
saw my life (found wanting)
shudder and fade
saw sweat drip from
your hips
onto mine
saw my body ache
from your lips
meshed with time
oh god
oh god oh god
felt a deep slow tension
building between the bones
in my hips
saw your tongue
lick
every drop of perspiration
from pale shoulders
under a pink face
and the fluids in my body
become thick
oh god
you've got your
keys in my ignition
start the engine
I won't say it was like a crack
that's more

Romance ...And in that moment it struck herRomance1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
The real ideas of romance
With closed eyes
She kissed the sea
And let the sand castles break
Wash away to the sorrow of the waves
RainWhen it rains in the cityRain1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Everything feels clean
Everything feels new
Its as if the dirt and the grit are gone
Like the crime and the poverty seem to dissolve
But rain doesn't last
It stops and the city regenerates
It becomes what its always been
And there is nothing but colours of traffic lights
Dancing on the gravel
A reminder of what had been;
that sense of clean.
Who am I?Who am I?Who am I?3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I wonder that sometimes
Who am I really?
Just a name
Just a face
Just someone to forget
Am I all the biology?
Blood vessels
A beating heart
Electrical impulses
A functioning mind
Am I the emotions?
Over powering and anxious
The love
Unpredictable and terrifying
The hate
Am I the dreams?
Sugar coated and perfect
Images of how it will be
Motivating and inspiring
How I want it to be
Am I every decision?
The time I said yes
When I really mean no
The time I pretending I didn't know
What was going on
But I really did know
The times I've lied
Who am I?
Who am I really?
Because whoever this is,
I don't want i
RainI want it to rainRain3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I want it to pour
I want the streets to fill up with water
I want it to rain so much that my tears won't matter any more
I want it to wash over me
I want it to wake me up
Wake me up
Make me realise
What my life is
What it has become
And realise
That it's time for change
I want summer rain
All glittery and golden
I want storms
Thunder
Lightening
Clouds
And pouring rain
I want to be able to run for miles
And not be able to see anything
I want to feel it hit me
Break me down
While I just stop and scream
Scream about things
They way they are
The way I want them to be
I just want to stand

DisappointmentWe chose the house because of the windowsDisappointment3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
The porch
The French doors
We loved the light filling each corner
Filling every room
And I woke one Sunday
The light trickling through the curtains
Cold side of the pillow
Silence
I turn around
there you are
Close eyed
And calm
And I don't think
In fact I know
I've never loved you more
You open your beautiful eyes
And you give me a sleepy smile
I kiss you and it feels perfect
The way we are
Here
Now
Your finger tips tangled with mine
Your cheek against mine
Your lips on mine
"Yellow"
You say
We stand in an empty room
Wearing dusty clothes
And confused expressions
We ar
CaptureIf I could capture anythingCapture3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I'd capture memories
I'd capture that summer
And keep it in a jar
That I would never put down
I'd take that jar with me everywhere I went
Hold it in my hands
As I move through crowds
I'd keep that summer with me
I'd capture the smell;
Cigarettes
White wine
Freshly mowed grass
Night air
Cologne
The smell of summer rain on dusty gravel
I'd capture the colours;
The emerald green of the grass
Scarlett nails
Sunset orange skies
I'd capture the feeling;
The restlessness
The lust
The shivers
The excitement
I'd capture the details;
The way the sun hugged our tangled bodies
As it swept its ligh

Was it me that did this to you?

destroying the picture prefect outside
to revel what you keep on the inside.
All mechanics that can't be fixed
by one person with glitter dust
you will take years to return
to what the snow globe captured
on that fateful night
one winter day
when the leaves had fallen
and the clouds were all
you could really trust
for they wouldn't leave
when most needed.
The romantics were just a cover up
for what was to come,
your world war
splattered scarlet across the walls.
These years are meant to heal
what one happened but the wounds bleed
as much as they had done
and forgiveness is too far away

DarkIt’s on the strangely dark daysDark3 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
That the sun comes pouring through
The windows like an early morning alarm
Those strange sounding phone reminders
The smell of summer
Bird song
And the sounds of notes that mean the world
It’s on those days
That car crashes seem like poetic tragedies
The world just seems to stop to revolve
Just like cold water fights
The smell of grass
All of those stranger sins
Whiskey on icy rocks
And all of those other things
It’s always on those darker days
That nostalgia wins

It passes in waves
Surrounding
Embracing
Leaving
And our eyes met
As if we were strangers
We no longer feel
You're like cigarettes
On summer nights
Like red wine
When it's raining outside
You're familiarity
But here we are
But it's not
What ever happened?
Sometimes I miss you
While you're sitting right there
I miss who you were
I miss what we were
That passion
Those sparks
Just that
Every day was like
The first day of winter
Chilling
Refreshing
But now just simply cold

Slipping from flames
To floods
Burning
Then burning out;
I've burnt out
I knew that
It happened a while ago
Perhaps you didn't notice
You wouldn't
I mean
Why would you?
I would pretend it was nothing
I would just keep going
And it would be something just passing
Likes cars at traffic lights
Slow down for moments
But just back to before
But it didn't pass
It clung on
It kept going
Kept getting worse
But you were bright eyed
And expectant
So I lied
And kept on lying
Hoping that one day
I'd believe it myself
You didn't call me out
I closed my eyes
And just kept going
But it go
Something about LoveThere is something about loveSomething about Love3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
It really sticks
Like honey on cereal
Like magnets on the fridge
There is something about love
It's so very new
So very different
It requires trust
It requires hope
There is something about love
It seems to grow
Like the plant on the window sill
Like the children down the street
There is something about love
It creates smiles
Monday morning
Raining
And being late
But still there is that simple
Confused smile
There is something about love
It makes you careless with your heart
In the best of ways
There is something about love
It leaves you aching
Yet still wanting more
There is something

You're complex in the most stunning way
You're like a puzzle waiting to be unravelled
To be worked out
You're like a present
Waiting to be opened
You remind of me of summer rain
Warm, caressing and sweet
Glittering and golden
Falling from prefect lighting
There is something irritating about you
You're aggravating in the most persistent way
You're like searching for my keys
When I think I know
They are in my handbag
And they turn up on the kitchen table
You remind me of smog
On the city streets
When it's late and cold
Embracing and clinging
There is something captivating about you

VentingI'm not a romanticVenting3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
And I don't pretend to be
But there has been something strange happening
It started in my heart
And it moved to my head
Or was it the other way round?
I watched myself fall in love with him
I knew it happening
I could see it
I wanted to stop it
But no such luck
And it started like a cliché
Wanting nothing more than to hold his hand
To look him in the eye
And be able to say
He's mine
(I surprise myself with my thoughts)
I began waiting for him
So we could walk together for a few seconds
So I could talk to him
Say nothing more than;
Hi
Then I began spending hours
Wishing
Hoping
Knowing it would
WishSometimes I wish could do all the things I wantWish3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Leave all of these things behind
Ignore the textbooks
And the things I can't do
I wish I could write a classic
Lock myself away in a room
With a view
Of rolling mountains
Burning blue skies
With heart shaped clouds
And summer
Spend years tied up with ink and paper
Writing something that almost kills me
I wish I could walk
Every street in this city
Not being noticed
Just being silent
And not have to worry
About every second I was wasting
Just be able to take it all in
And draw a map in the darkest colours
Of what this place really is
I wish I could pack my bags and leave

Never thoughtI never thought I'd be hereNever thought3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I never thought I'd be crying about a boy
Or should I say man?
I never thought I'd fall
Not this fast
Not this hard
Never thought I'd admit
That I'm hopelessly,
Devastatingly
In love
I never thought that this was it
This was how it felt
To be someone's
I never knew
I'd hate it this much
I never thought
I'd give in this easy
Give in
And change
Change me for him
I never thought I'd be so useless
So unable to fight back
To just say no
I never thought
I'd be watching myself
Fall apart because of someone else
Never thought I'd be thinking like this
I never thought
I'd want this so much

You probably don't notice what you do to me. You might not notice me at all. But I can't help it; the way you make me feel. No matter how much I try to forget you it doesn't seem to work so I'm here to admit it all.
Every morning I wake up slightly more fed up than yesterday. Each day brings with it another reason for why this should be over. Why there is no point. And if you ever read this you'll probably disapprove of what I've said

Gingerbread houses covered in castor sugar
But life sized
And this is only the start
We're hours away from becoming
Like a scene from a snow globe
Small town with iced buildings
The children smile knowing what is to come
The adults look worried and talk about travel
Restlessness while watching out the window
"Please settle"
With fingers crossed
For once the streetlight aren't bring enough
Waking first thought
Check the window
There is icing covering thing
Spread across the roof tops
Settled on the ground
Clinging to the trees
Glinting in the light like crystals
Blinding
Freezing fingertips but

And check my make up
So I can catch you eye
Things are awkward
But we'll try out best
Pointless conversation
Just for tonight
Keep talking
Keep laughing
Maybe things will go right
Let the ice break
Let the light fade
The air will settle
And the stars will glow
Above the bitter smoke
You take out another cigarette
But I won't complain
Not tonight
The bright city lights
And rushing cars
As you pull me through the crowd
Wrapped up hand in hand
And walking every step
As if it's a path
That has never led on before
Standing by the house
On tiptoes
Goodnight kiss
Tingling fingertips
Racing heart
