thunder and lightning

i wrote this ages ago and it got a really bad reception. i don't care. i still love you.

Exclusivity

Only you.
No more kissing men
in warm rooms; Your mouth
makes me lose control more
than rum and cokes do.

It is decided.
With words that a dream told you
I needed more than others. More
than lovers. More than other lovers.
We wake up together.

Your face.
Buried in my neck and kinder than
most, probably. We’ll fall in love
and book a holiday and beautiful
cashier girls won’t affect me

Anymore.
We dress to impress each other and I
borrow clothes from your wardrobe. These
big shirts feel so good hanging onto me.
Hung up on me.

I am starting.
Understanding the concept of togetherness
and speaking without embarrassment. To
say that I simply can’t be with anybody other
Than you.

five minute poem


every-where’s coming together
we stand in stations, thread ourselves
through tram lines, linking fingers until
wherever home might be i know it’s here

everyone’s coming together when they
touch my arms and tell me how long it’s been
(and I talk about you over whiskey and a grin)
thinking how grown up we’re allowed to be

my bank balance is zero, stripped down to
master bedrooms and living room furniture
we talk about soon, with both our names on bills
knowing that everything’s coming together.

make me miserable

i am in love and therefore cannot write any more.
