[hometext] => Passionate poetry based on something many can relate to...
[bodytext] => I thought perhaps I’d write a song,
Composed of windswept skies, Crisp spring air, silk jet black hair And your amazon, hazel eyes I thought perhaps I’d write a poem When I saw your face In the silver lining of my thoughts Embroidered among this lace Wouldn’t mind just being your victim, Be happy to be your smile, So I may stay placed on your lips And kiss you, for a while. To see you in the clear sunlight, Walk beside you in the stars Far from the other hundred eyes That wished they'd what’s ours. I wanted to give you something precious I wanted to show you my dreams, I wanted just to inspire you With bursting tearful streams Instead I crave this lonely sunrise With hope this night could end Hack my way through tangles of lies Ivory keys my only friend. So selfish was my hunger For all the love of you So hateful was my lust It must have looked so fake, untrue But if you had only realised How much I cried for you How not one night’s less lonely, Not a single day, something new. Just off the top of my head, I could recite a sonnet of love Of how you hurt me most of all When you said I was above Anything else…because then you built All of my dreams, strong, vicious, tall But years later you hurled them into nothing Alone I watched them fall. This is love You said, this is love When my colder self had died This is love As I walked on water at intense sunrise This is love, this is love, you said "Love" But you lied.
