You were tracing constellations along my forearms, Straight lines and muffled songs. I said that you can't whisper into your own ear - but I can, and I know what to say; I'd say that when the air is so heavy that you can feel it weigh you d…
Smiling mouth but lying eyes, A wolf in sheepskin, a monster in disguise. Love is what you're after, so how could you be so cold? All my cards are on the table, but all you do is fold. Dragging me down into your gentle gaze, deep creases be…
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky …
I think you could fall in love with anyone if you saw the parts of them that no one else gets to see. If you followed them around, even for a day, like a blessed ghost. For a day, you saw them crying in their bed at night; learnt the patte…
I made an excuse, you found another way to tell the truth. And my heart is caught, in my wordless answers, turned mouth, shuffling feet. And I know the smell of your skin, like a sailor knows the sea. And I recognise your voice, like I use…
If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it over to your house and pour it loose through your garden. So the hinges on your windows would rust and colour, like the boats pulled up on the sand for the summer. And your sweet clean c…
In streams of light I so clearly saw the dust you seldom see. It was tracing galaxies in the golden silence, out of which the nameless makes a name for one like me. But you say you're no good, but that's good enough for me. You're the same …
Remember me there on windy planes dead. Birds raining from a white hot sky. I followed your trace through mercury fields, unpenetrated by human touch; where I used your skin as my skin to explore an infinite exile.
Mind you, sometimes the angels smoke, hiding it with their sleeves, and when the archangel comes, they throw the cigarettes away: that’s when you get shooting stars.
Parallel lines have a lot in common but they never meet. Ever. You might think that’s sad. But every other pair of lines meets once and then drifts apart forever. Which is pretty sad too.
I am the moon that loves you cold in the night’s sovereign, alone and old. Through your window I shall creep in, lay on you like water, shine kissing skin. I am the light that leaks through your veins, I’ll start your heart once, I’ll start…
I felt like I was being pulled by different currents, they dug roots beneath my skin and washed over me like wind and waves. They left fragments of my mind scattered among the stars and when the last flame licked, flickered and was put out,…
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the …
I kissed a boy wearing a cross around his neck, His lips didn't taste like church, But his arms felt like God, I wonder what his pastor would have thought, I wonder if that cross around his neck, Means more to me than it does to him.
I mean they say you die twice. Once when your heart stops beating, and a second time when somebody says your name for the last time.
It had never occurred to me that our lives, so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I'd known, maybe I'd have kept tighter hold of them.
And What I am to you is not real What I am to you, you do not need What I am to you is not what you mean to me You give me miles and miles of mountains And I'll ask for the sea
I tried to forget, but you grew roots around my ribcage and sprouted flowers just below my collar bones. All day I pluck their petals but I have not yet ascertained whether you love me, or not.
She had blue skin, And so did he, He kept it hid; And so did she. They searched for blue their whole life their whole life through, And passed it right by and never knew.
I live in a world of fantasy, So keep your reality away from me, I see what I want, And I want what I see, And that is all okay by me.
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more.
Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines he wrote a poem, And he called it "Chops" because that was the name of his dog, And that's what it was all about, And his teacher gave him an A and a gold star, And his mother hung it on the …
I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare. I hate your big, dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick — It even makes …
Charmanders are red, Mudkipz are blue, If you were a pokemon, I'd choose you. Your smile is stronger than a hyperbeam, Like Jesse & James, we could be the perfect Rocket Team. I will stay by your side like Pikachu and Ash, And I'll love you…
I like drinking coffee alone, and reading alone. I like taking the bus alone, and walking home alone. It gives me time to think, and set my mind free. I like eating alone, and listening to music alone. But when I see a mother with her chi…
“I’ve been making promises I know I’ll never keep, one of these days I’m gonna leave you in your sleep, I’ll have to go when the whistle blows, the whistle knows my name. Baby I was born on a train.”
