OUR LOVE
I never want us to get too comfortable
Where our love is predictable
I want our passion to burn brighter
And our love to root deeper
I want us to love like this
Because comfort ate more dreams
Than heartbreak ever did
I want love to keep us
at the edge of our dreams
panting for more…
BURNING DESIRES
Burning desires
which suffocate
don’t grow roots.
How can they?
Rather they float
around for awhile
like fire flies
with no lasting mark
just a contour
on the detour
to Love.
BELLE ARME
My words feel
like sunshine
but can distort
the colours
of your rainbow.
That’s how I fight.
I throw words
with laser sharp cuts.
Loaded with precision
ready for war.
Aiming at your heart
the soft centered part.
For you to feel
Something
Anything.
SWEET CRAVINGS
You keep flaunting this sugary love
That will kill me one day
Yet I find myself saying
“Let’s make syrup together”.
