Winter
Perhaps I don’t mind winter
For I find summer in your eyes,
Everyday the sun sets early
You still give me butterflies.

Obscures
Have you ever felt
As though your name
Obscures who you really are
Adorning or uglifying unfairlyA regal title
Doesn’t make me
Any less a bumb
Fear I long for
Loving you is like
The kind of fear I long for
Awful, wonderful.
Slave
You said you were a stranger
But you said it so friendly that I didn’t quite believe yiu at first
You offered me a bottle
When You noticed I was panting
and clearly dieing of thirstI eyed it with suspicion
That’s when you spoke unto me
“ it’s a long way I’ve marched
thirst has no respect for drought
The good stuffs on the inside
So drink it down if you are parchedI took a deep draft
Like a fool
Really daft
And I’m pretty sure I’m suffering nowWent down sweeter than love
Then tremors gripped me like a glove“Take my money take my money
make this all stop”
With a deep deep laugh you Chuckled and spat “ not your money but your life! Your blood your soul your heart, that’s what I wanted from the start”I want everything, everything that makes you you.
Eviscerated violated and then taken to the grave
That’s what I want, I want a slaveI wake up panting
And you stepped back into the mirror
Took a deep bow and pat yourself on the back sayin“ if this isn’t want you wanted
Well then you won’t be haunted
But if I’m honest I think that you will be.Yiu never once said no never once said go,
You’re conviction ain’t convincing
You were far from resistant.
Maybe next time arm yourself against all your favourite tastes and smells
Or you’ll find yourself on tour in deepest depths of hell
when you absorb the spilled ink
How did we end here?
Did you begin, with my heart beat in your ears ?
Was I weeping from being born or from noting you?
Gone
Were we arrows, aimed at each other in the dark?
Or twists and turns, decisions made at stop lights throughout?
I missed you and I did not know
Until eyes lit fire, until blood pumped faster
When you smiled
I knew when my heart sighed, within me
Recognition
Pain
Fear
How did we end here?
Arrows, aimed at the dark sky
Following the course of the stars
