you and I

On this rainy night, slowly descending into the earth I play the same waltz over and over. My hands bled from the strings and my heart from the ache. Each note a token of my affection I send to your ears. Hear my song tonight, all night and the next. Every single night forever more until this waltz is the language we share and the only words speak are poems from the romantics.

A Folie à deux.

my roses

Fresh water for the vase
to place the flowers in.
The red roses, you know I love.
Sat on the windowsill faced toward the sun.
I say ‘you really didn’t have to’
You smile and say ‘of course I did’
Placing a kiss on my lips.

They are still there, on my windowsill.
Withering away.
You are not here to replace them.
I watch each day as a leaf or a petal drops.
Until one day, it is just stems, and the memory of your kiss.

the valley of my soul

You look at me with eyes that eat into my soul,

eyes that I cannot turn away from.

I want to sink into them and drink your thoughts.

Float away on your dreams and hum nightmares away.

I feed on your voice and lust for your skin,

how did I survive before?

for your voice is my water

and your presence, my air.

I will follow you

to each corner of the earth,

sing you to sleep,

and wake you each morning.

My music, my sonnet, my fire, my soul

how did I survive before?

come to me

come to me, in daylight

when the sun is the highest in the sky

bring me your smile

let me watch you then

come to me, at dusk

when the sky turns purple

bring me your arms

keep me warm as night comes

come to me, in the dead of night

when the stars are the only light

bring me your voice

talk to me as we drift to sleep

stay with me, when the daylight breaks

as the day begins

start it with me

and stay with me, forever more

Afterlife

Your soul was there when god created light. When the heavens were put in the sky. When hell was banished beneath us. When land was created to keep us.

You are an ancient divinity no words are worthy to describe. Birthed from light. You are in every fibre of this life’s being- woven into my night.

So, now I bow before you, my love; today, tomorrow, forever. You are in every plane of my existence . My now, my then. This breath and the last. You are my afterlife.

If you ever forget how much I love you

There’s this place I know, far from here. We could go? I can take you there, just you and me. Only we can go.

It’s green, it’s violet, it’s yellow, it’s vermilion, it’s colours I cannot name. I’ve dreamt these colours. Haven’t you? Somehow I’ve always known them.

There’s so much light here, but it’s not too bright. Hold my hand, it feels better that way. This way, I want to show you something. I think you’ve seen it before.

Have you ever seen something so beautiful? Do you recognise it now? I knew you would. Whenever you are you feeling lost I’ll take you here. A place only we can go.

Soulmates

We met.

Met eyes, met hearts, met souls.

But we had met before. In another time, another place. Everything was calm, everything was familiar. And for one moment, everything was still and at peace.

This moment exists, it is fleeting and eternal. Unlike the nature of its being, this moment is not linear. It does not follow the rules, bound by nothing.

Like it’s essence, this moment repeats, again and again. New eyes, new hearts. Yet one constant. Without conscious, without fail. In this life and the next. My soul will search for yours.

I’ll see you then, and forever.
