LOVE DUSTED


Past the trees’ grey sparkling trunks,

Past the forests’ blooming garden,

Lies a wall with a blood-lined waterfall.


But eyes from a heart-crowned couple don’t see that far,

As they lovingly gaze at one another;

All they care about is the love for each other,

All they breathe for is one another’s hold -

No other care barges into their paradise stronghold.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT


Fairy lights shine in their eyes,

As eyes gaze at each other for the first time.


One breath and they’re a two,

Heading out the door to that rose-lined pew.

DAZZLING


A couple dressed in gowns of pink and white,

Sit calmly amongst the roof,

On a swaying swing;


Roses encircle around the hem,

Growing in lustre at each second chime.


Crowds peer up as light laughter sounds;

Happy tears turn to petals and rain delicately down,

Making hard set frowns immediately turn up from grumpy ground.


A glow warms the humidity of the air,

“Dazzling” headlined the review, “Dazzling beyond compare.”

ONLY A TINY TASTE


He makes me,

Oh, so happy,

And I’m not even in his arms yet;


I drink his love,

Makes elation quadruple,

And I’m yet to feel the tides’ breaking ripple.


I’m so excited –

Exuberantly lit,

And I haven’t even made exit.


I’ve only tasted a drop of his saccharine wine with my little fingertip –

I’m yet to take a proper gulp,

I can’t even think what will happen when I intake a cup of it.

UNYIELDING


The girl opened her locker and gasped.

Inside hung a picture of her lover,

Face nothing but blood and puffy pummelled flesh.


Beneath it hung a letter framed in wire mesh,

“It’s the best to make the picture stray;” It read –

The girl saw defiant deep red.


She snatched the picture and tore it apart –

Nothing was ever going to change her direction,

When she knew what she held in her heart.

SEPARATION IMPOSSIBLE


It’s impossible, impossible,

For me to separate from you,

When I know you make me completely complete.


Yeah it’s impossible, impossible,

It’s real love lever to deplete –

A shimmering rainbow to always keep.

ALL THAT MATTERS TO ME


Anyone can see and read,

Nothing really matters,

But being with he;


Yes nothing else matters,

He and his understanding,

Is all that matters to me;


He’s the only one,

Who makes me feel like I belong,

He’s the only one who strums my song,

Without lyrics and never gets it wrong.


Anyone can see and read,

Nothing really matters,

But being with he


Yes nothing else matters,

He and his understanding,

It all that matters to me.

ULTIMATE DREAM COME TRUE


There’s nothing in the world,

I would rather do,

Then spend the rest of my life,

Loving you;


Yes there’s nothing,

I’d rather be,

Then the girl by your side,

Proudly holding the within me your key;


I’d give my last drop of blood,

If it gave us a chance to continue;

Cause loving and being loved by you,

Is my ultimate dream come true.

GHOST TRAIN


The couple ride fast and far,

Along the open highway in their speedy car –

No worries – completely carefree.


However what they do not see

Are the ancient tracks running underneath their back,

Bellowing smoke of thick white – black.

SWITCH


The girl tells her friend,

The person she loves.


Her friend smiles chidingly,

And says “That’s a sweet fantasy.”

In a tone of complete artificiality –

Staring like the girl was a child.

Who took interest in a bone;


The girl frowns and reveals,

He’s my home.”


The friend’s laughter bellows out

Harder and harder until she cries –

The girl stays quiet feeling vexation inside


The friend looks back to the girl after wiping clear her eyes –

The girl gasps:


Her friends’ eyes

Change from brown to grey to blue

An amused smirk twists on her face

The girl feels a knot within


“You’re cute.” The friend says

With a voice of two –

The girl freezes in place

Determined not to let intimidation show on her face


“I’ll let you have you wistful fantasy

If that is what it takes to get you to me –

But you’re mine don’t forget.”


Blue eyes glow whilst eyeing her dress.


Repulsion wells inside the girl

Quickly she stands and makes a quick whirl

Before she falls on the floor and hurls


Quickly she rushes to the door


“Hey!: Her friend calls


The girl turns around

Eyeing daggers and holding a scolding frown


“Where are you going?” the friend asks dazed


“Away.” The girl replies to her friends’ brown eyes

Whilst thinking in her mind her solid goodbyes.

INVADER


They walk,

In the peace filled lands,

They calmly wake and sleep,

Eyes in eyes, arms in arms, hands in hands;


Then out of the slime,

Comes the cataclysmic outburst,

Made by the masked invader,

Whose sole goal is to tear perfection apart,

With his spite and malice.


For the masked invader,

Their love is a loathsome flavour,

Too perfect to exist,

In his world,

Which is covered in his bacterial acidic mist –

And so he throws his all their way.


They block, turn,

Burn past the invaders thong,

And retreat to their original paradise glade,

Away from the world of shade.

CONTINUE WITH THE RUN


I’m going to just have to,

Re-tie the ribbon in the sports shoe,

And continue on with the run –

Cause I just have to,

Find the sun.
