Fortune Cookies

Some may call it coincidence, others a sign. Whichever, I wish I knew in my mind exactly what I wanted from this mass of feelings inside my head before I become too brash. At one time, I would not have looked, but now I find myself hooked on his every word, catching my breath as I listen to the voice he has left in my waking thoughts, making my morals loose then taut. A subtle touch, a hand on mine, what does he want? I thought we were fine as just good friends, but why do I find that I want more than my fair share of his attention? I do not want all this tension, but I cannot help but think we could be good, perhaps if I had stood my ground, we would not be going around in these damn circles all the time, and I would not be looking for the perfect rhyme to tell you how I’m feeling when you flirt with my emotions, skirt my promised devotions, leave me reeling.

There’s a secret romance blooming! Go for it, in spite of your hesitation.

I should not ask the burning question, but what if?

That’s the way the cookie crumbles.

Darlington’s Own Morecambe and Wise

Bring me sunshine through the picture frame,
A perfect pair caught in a moment of tame
Delights; a pose and shadows from a dial,
And always, always, that smile.

In your smile I see the spinning playground
As we tumble and twirl about and around.
You bring me high above the rafters,
Always, always, with that laughter.

Bring me laughter through the rain,
Drive away this murky disdain
With your infallible serene style,
Always joyous, all the while.

All the while I wonder how I found
Such a friend as you to be bound,
And I thank the clear blue skies
For my very own ray of sunshine.

Apologies Thus

The first time you do anything, it's always going to be difficult. Even if it comes naturally, the nerves beforehand make it hard to believe you can ever succeed. So, when I decided to enter a competition where I have 3minutes to impress an audience and panel of judges with my words, I think it is fair to say that I am really feeling the horror of sharing my work for the first time with people I have never even laid eyes on before in my life! I feel that I must share my few advance apologies:

Hell, I'm not afriad to say it,

I am scared shitless!

My apologies thus,

If my words seem witless.

Hidden Depths

If I should walk beneath those stars,
Would I wander blindly into your forests?
I see under the skies two figures,
And we drift carefree as the clouds.

Would I wander blindly into your forests?
If I had known I would become lost
As we drift carefree as the clouds,
I would have encouraged your beckoning eyes.

If I had known I would become lost
In the darkest of lights,
I would have encouraged your beckoning eyes
To lure me into your strong embrace.

In the darkest of lights,
I see under the skies two figures
To lure me into your strong embrace,
If I should walk beneath those stars.
