Choose a positive path
Yesterday I woke with you asleep on my arm
Blissful sleep
I lay there watching you, grateful and full of love
Totally protected
Your body lay relaxed on mine with nothing between us
Pure intimacy
My hand held yours in our beautiful nighttime dance
Lovers’ waltz
People are defined in many ways
By factors both shallow and deep
Actions, thoughts, relationships, diet
Sometimes by the company they keep
I might be what I eat and drink
The product of all I’m seeing
But it’s you I hold in my heart
Our love drives my well being
I’m the sum of all my experiences
But I’m different since we met
You’ve shaped and remade me
Lessons in love I won’t forget
I like being the sum of all I do
Happy being defined in that way
Achieving, striving, creating, thriving
Just know it’s you I do it for today
Most of all…
If you are what you think of
And most like what you feel
Then I’m you, and our love
Blessed, living a life ideal
In a crowded room, alone I stand
Throngs of people around me flow
Rethinking the plans I have planned
Smiling happy people what do they know?
Everyone here seems different
All sorts, some connected, others solo
Players in a time and placeless scene
Repeatedly playing out wherever you go
There are the hunters and hunted
There are the social butterflies
There are those loved by almost all
There are those that most despise
Back in my room I await my one
Might walk in the door or already be here
I look around wondering where she’s gone
I’m alive to possibilities now maybe she’s near
You’re my fascination
My goal on waking
Dark brown comfort
Stops me shaking
We walk hand in hand
Journey to work together
There to energise and remake me
Everyday, no matter the weather
It started with a kiss
Lips melded onto plastic lid
Grateful to get my hit
This is my caffeine love
It’s like I’d taken a pill
When you walked in the door
Pure euphoric hit
But it’s you I want more
I’m not taking a drag
But my heads in a spin
I’m high from who I’m with
Not what I’ve been doin’
I’ve never taken a line
But this rush that I feel
Makes me need to know you
I’m addicted to your appeal
This is no boxed TV drama
And the only binge that I want
Is of seeing you on repeat
Tire of you. I can’t
I’m hungry at all hours
But no meal I can find
Can sate the gap without you
Complete my heart, body and mind
I’m not downing neat spirit
There’s no need to chug
You are all that I need
Our love is my drug
I miss you
It’s been far too long
Need to hold you
Close, where you belong
I transfix on you
Think just about us two
How Good we are together
Nothing less, will ever do
I love you
Feelings I have never felt
All I do is for your benefit
No one else, as loved in all the world
I want you
I choose you above every other
A life fulfilled
With you, my friend, my muse, my lover
I desire you
Want to consume every part
To show you how I feel
Each act, an act of the heart
There she lies
Neath crumpled sheets
A glimpse of golden skin
Fair of face
Body held with grace
Beauty from outside to in
Bounteous rose
Framed by petaled hair
A joy to touch, to feel, to see
Wondrous sight
Her force, her might
Her all is beloved by me
Restful dream
Her slow drawn breath
An infectious sense of calm
Together we
Embrace shared destiny
She cannot come to harm
My vision
On her downy bed
I send affections from above
A gentle kiss
Placed on her cheek
Conveys my whole hearted love
Understand me love
Hear my heart
Each time we meet
We are less far apart
We share our days progress
We talk to our fears
We hope for the future
And as the future grows near
We have shared objectives
We have shared dreams
We aim to be happy
And both know what that means
Each time we meet
We step closer still
Closer together
One life, one will
A regular morning
Commute on the tube
Head down to Euston
Melancholy mood
Then in walks a daydream
Rock and roll chic
A glance in my direction
A stud through her cheek
Mascara, Heavy lipstick
Jeans, boots and all
She smiles at me
That’s it, I’m in her thrall
She’s different, exotic
Not like the rest
Leather jacket, punk rocker
An open string vest
Black hair over her eye line
Studs all round her cuff
Her satchel graffiti
Her look familiar but rough
We pull into Euston
“Excuse me” I say
My punk rocker daydream
Just gets out of the way
Not sure how to ask her
Was the Smile something more?
I will look out tomorrow
For her, at the sliding door
Hunched shoulders
Clenched fists
Slow progress
Against the wind
Road ahead folded
Back on itself,
The journey long
The sky falls black
The storm rages strong
Why expect progress?
Maelstrom holds you
Static, wasted effort, burning legs
Heavy, weighed down
Carrying the burden of all
Stumble in the night
Closed, clenched
Angry, resentful
Sodden, drenched
Eyes to the floor
You can stand no more
Pause, still.
Blink of light
Shining star
Breaks the night
She rises
All change
Heart grows
