Poetic Text: You

On warm summer nights 
I think about you
Want you in between each of my breaths
Fancifully we saunter, in splendour, in love

On warm Sunday nights
I get to live in your arms
In my wildest imaginings you never leave
And although you always do
I understand you
And i pray you understand me

Through the bitterness of Monday
You lie elsewhere
I always want you
But most times you want her
You want her all throughout the cold nights
You want her
And all I get are warm summer nights… With you

Poetic Text: Always, Everyday Pt 2

So it took longer than I promised it would, but here it is, the second bit of Always, Everyday.

I wonder
Always, Everyday
about tomorrow
when the new is old and cracked and creaks a little bit
musty and frail
limping slowly, depending solidly on the memories for sustenance
When, where once
you used to stare me up and down
lick your lips and smile
saying, let’s hit the sheets
now exists the mundane…
Always, Everyday

Do your desires even aspire to walk that long
to the always, everyday middle of the road?
Not feeling well
I decided to take the day off yesterday
between my TV watching marathon,
doing some school work and napping
I did a little soul searching
I realised that the tears won’t stop till I tell them to
and that the healing of my heart doesn't rest on you

You see, I thought I was falling
Always, Everyday
I thought I was loving
the restitution I found beneath your palms, I confused
The warmth that rested with a confident firmness inside your kisses had me bare mused
But now I think,
Always, Everyday
About me
