Loving you is a drug
I know I should quit you
But the further I stay clear
The more I want you near.
Loving you is like a black potion
Effervescent, implicit
So much I don’t wish to commit to stay
Yet here I am again.
Loving you is a hurt I yearn for everyday
In bed I lie in bed awaiting your return
Your sultry voice whispering my name
That also comes with your touch.
I saw a rose growing in my garden
Surrounded by bushy thorns and elephant grasses
Even in a sea of green and strife
Lies beauty within.
A simple lust
Is all I yearn for:
Just for me to be
In the sweet here and now
With you in mind as well in heart
A desperate anguish in
Love’s deepest well,
I seek to die for
Slowly and steady as a stabbing knife
Extinguish this love I have carried for you all these centuries
Let it scatter with the wind
And be gone from this world into the beyond.
A nightingale she was
Singing aloud to my soul:
“How far would you go,”
She asked me, “Till you accomplish
That treasure that you seek?”
Mesmerised and spellbound
Was I, as I soared
Through winter’s age
Searching for a love
That knows no pain.
I want to do it in the shower
Let’s do if while standing
Let me lift you higher
Feel the water splash all over
Grip me tighter
Hook your knees, jerk your hips
Breathe
Gasp
Holler
Call out my name
I’ll do the same
While we grind slowly
Rock gently
And then when we’re done
I’m going to do it again.
One day, and it is coming,
Just like the northern strong winds
I will become old and grey
Skin shrivelled and brain senile
Sitting often with a mug of tea in hand
And reminisce more about the past:
Did I love you enough?
Did I play with the kids often?
Did we smile and laugh a lot?
Just as we were there to bury our Dead
When we too become dead
Who will pick up the burden to bear?
So many questions
My mind grows weary with fear
This cup of tea is getting warm
Like me seated here by the fireplace alone
While outside it has started to snow.
You were there when I needed a friend
You’ve been there
Through sunshine, heartbreaks and stress
I’ve got you on my mind
Like migraine with no end
Just when I feel the rain
Getting ready to ruin my day
I drink coffee
And I feel better again!
I’m not going to wish you long life,
Because you’re never going to get it.
I’m not going to say ‘God bless you’
Because you already are blessed:
You’re alive and in good health;
Cast worries and sadness off you mind
Don’t doubt, don’t fear,
Laugh more, live more
And find out who you are.
Walking the beach alone by myself
Listening to the cursing wind
The sea beyond crashing like tea leaves
Wondering what all of it means
Is there a riddle to where the sea and sky meet?
I don’t know but would someone tell me, please.
Strolling, skipping over these wet sands
Huddled, the wind attempts ripping me off my jacket
Alone. There’s no one to see for miles, no rocks no sand castle
Lay in sight. Nothing but distant memories
Of what could be, once was, or never will
There’s just me throwing stones out to sea.
I hear you speak: your voice so faint in the wind
You pleaded with me to stay
Stay, don’t walk away
Here on this white landscape there is no hiding place
No past, no future, or forever more
Just you talking in my ear, walking alone on this strip of beach.
A road cuts through the mountains
Like knife through butter
Not too long ago the road was never there
The mountains used to cuddle in harmony and love
The river watered their sons
The sun blessed their union.
But then discord happened
And the road came to be
Distant lovers the mountains are forever to remain
Till, who knows, the river returns to consume the road.
Walkin’ thru a lonely town
No one around to say hello or goodbye
To the stranger that just looted the town’s bank!
