Dry Bones

Because we who had been furious storm

And peckish flame,

And crackling thunder,

And lashing volts of electricity.

What I Like About You.

What I like about you.

I like how you smile, like each one is the Hope diamond.

I like how you protect, your innocence in this murky world

I like how you are not afraid, to be foolish or wise or nothing at all.

I like how your spirit, flourishes everything you touch.

I like how you think, life, the earth, is your playground.

Lyrically- Ready For Love.

We’re still on the India Arie train, last week I put up Can I walk with you which is one of my absolute favourite songs and which I have listened to more than a hundred times this week.

Jollification

Let the music play,
As long we like,
As loud we want,
Will you dance?

Honey + Glue

I want to sit by my window

Clinging to the fragments of the faded days of you and me

Plucking memories of sepia tone and gold

Of dancing and laughter and whispered promises of forever

Dispersing my pain with each choking sob

Diluting my heart’s bile

Waiting for you-2

Let’s pretend we were friends

From before the world began

That these ropes of awkwardness

Are too flimsy to hold my tongue

Even though my ears scoff

And call me “bumbling idiot”

Waiting for you…

All I have is a smile, your smile

Yet I know it is you who will light the fires,

Tend the embers and flare the flames

Of the passions that will consume and renew us.
