When The Earth Stood Still

No sun shoneNo rain fell or clouds passedNot even a wave rolling onto the shoreNever had it been so quietNeither one of them disturbed the peaceNot whilst the earth stood still

My darkened arena waits for meSpotlights cast, sand perfected.A moment we’ve been waiting forThey may think it’s me, but I’m only a partThe star of this show here, is ArtWhere I squeeze my legs and hold him underHe leaps and soars around like thunderThe curve of his legs, muscular and taughtA magnificent creature in myContinue reading “The Star of The Show”

A Soulmate’s Touch

A soulmates touchRevives our ownSomething quiet and caringGalvanised and awokenNew network engulfed in passionHidden meaning now uncoveredFrom solitude and peaceTo a soul with outstretched armsConnected

I Look to You

For a second you were here. For a second that beautiful smell of that perfume wasn’t the brunette sitting opposite me in a beanie hat, it was you, next to me, dressed up on our way into London for a night out. God that smell, I miss it so much. I close my eyes andContinue reading “I Look to You”

All the same

These days are far away from the last time that we met, I rushed to meet you with my bad jeans on, a jumper and hair still wet. It wasn’t the same, and it was like that for a while, but I always miss your face, your eyes and your smile. At that point thenContinue reading “All the same”
