Love as a masterpiece

My love!
I only stand in distance admiring your grand beauty.
My absolute adoration for you leaves no room for coquetry.

Would anyone dare to smear their hands on Van Gogh’s painting just for their own pleasure?
Would anyone be so insensitive to shout cheers in the middle of Peter Grimes?

My love!
I am in awe of you, my masterpiece!
My obsession for you is beyond the need to possess you.
Trust me!
You are safe with me. I am the keeper of your heart.

Cosy

I’ve gone quiet
I’ve gone cold
coz
There are raindrops
by my window.
Kitty and I
are having a cuddle.

Love in punctuation

We walked through the four seasons of love:

“Your smile shines brighter than the stars”, then he tilted my face and kissed my cushioning lips.

Oh baby! Fuck! Baby…

He was hurt; he knew it too well I said it out of my own insecurity.

The atmosphere was like a pair of ill-fitting shoes, go bare feet, or suffer the agony.

We ended our relationship.

Did our love just die?

Dilemma

to you
there is
no end
to misery

to me
the end
of you
cures
my misery

to kill
or
not to
kill

Procrastinators

everybody wants a piece of her
yes yes yes
she over commits and
feels anxious to start anything

there are so many fishes
in the sea
busy busy busy
he doesn’t like to sit in boredom
hoping to catch one

it’s a long way off freedom
who knows what tomorrow holds
let’s all wait for
the last minute revolution

what if I fail
what if I am not good enough
what if I don’t matter
how about I never start

It’s not what it seems

a chaotic mind
requires
an organised space
that’s why
I make my bed
everyday
I tidy up after myself
as I go

a calm appearance
hides
a turbulent mind
that’s why
I make conscious effort
to breathe
I delay in responding
to mayhem

Lotus

I was born of murk
you believed in me
with your unwavering love
I stand tall in the storm
rise sacred and pure

Ageless

when we were little
we kissed
then spat on the ground
where a seed was buried
hoped a tree would grow

when we were parents
we spat venom at each other
hoped our children
would grow unaffected

when we were old
we spat the dummy at our children
hoped they didn’t notice

we have been toddlers in nappies
all through our life
hoped no one would ever
point a finger at us
the terrible twos
