From your wild nature of your hair to the arch of your smile
the energy your presence evokes, disarms and draws me in,
wondering if I could know your heart for a while
not knowing how to share worlds with you or where is best to begin.
...
No I'm not a saint, as much a sinner as you
learnt some lessons late,
nearer to knowing the 'me', too true – too true;
sometimes reckless, while sometimes sedate.
...
As still as we can be
With no sense of space between us
As we fill the place within us.
Then there is no need for words,
...
I let you break my heart slowly
The smell of you lingered upon my bed
I realised you didn’t know me
You saw what you wanted instead.
...
There is barbarism in denial
a fickle, ungrateful master is fate
as you limbo from problem to problem
fearing feeling the pain and hurt.
