All the colour is sucked out of your world.

Black and white only changing to colour 

When that person's name is on your lips, 

When you get a glance of that person,

When you daydream about that person.

Not a bright colour though, 

A sad one, 

maybe blue.

You are overwhelmed with anguish and regret, 

you feel an indescribable pain in your chest. 

But you yearn for blue.

The moment when your black and white can become blue.

The addictive pain that has a hold on you.

Because without the blue, your world is colourless.

They call me mad because I had an idea. Though my idea can save her...the only one I love. So I shall descend into madness if it takes to hold her again. So crank the wheels and let the power flow like the blood flowing in my veins. Let darkness descend and the demons below curse me but I shall bring her back to me. Chiron I will sink thy ship and may you drown in the River Styx. For if I fail may Zeus strike me down. For by Cupid's arrow I was struck and will forever fight for my love. So lightning strike the pillars and may thy electrical currents flow life into her once again. Rise! oh Rise my darling so I may hold u again. For in this heart it is only you and everything now is filled with gloom.

The nightlight casts my room

Soft and pink.

I wonder if you remember it like that

Or if the memory of it is

Awkward and noir.

Like all my memories

Of you.

I will never know

When to say

When to say no

When to stay

Or when to go

I do not know love

And the only way I'll go in

Is to be shoved

Deep down

Never to come out again

I've only had minor tastes

Leaving me quick to pace

To get out with haste

Before its fully unleashed

And there is no possible release

I wish to dance with you

To be queen someday

And yet far from this feeling

I always stray

I get in close

But only to scope

And the lighting then strikes

Causing my running

Flight over fight

I need the one

Who comes running after me

Who won't cause me to flee

Who will ease the fear

But still hold my heart so dear

My mind can be convinced

It's my heart wrapped with fence

Keeping all others out

With my own self trapped in

Please love me

Though I'm a statue

Make me see

That it is okay

For us to be

I am stone

I am cold

But I still have a desire

That burns like fire

So dance me away

Into another day

Let only us exist

As we slowly sway

Insist your truth

That your love will never dilute

So I can truly trust

My impossible dream

Let chandelier lights gleam

Let the gown be made

Perfect at every seam

Let me live out this dream

And still, we do not dance

Still, I have not met your lance

That will stab me through my heart

As I feel unknown feelings start

So come one day

Everyday for it I pray

Let our eyes meet

Let me know you are the one

Who will marry me into a queen

If only all this could truly be

If only someone

Would come dance with me.

I love

these rainy nights.

I love

these spring kites.

Can we take a deep breath?

Just float.

I love 

being alone.

I love being alone

with you.

Can we buy a cake?

Just for two.

I love 

watching the sunrise.

I love 

watching the sunset.

Can we waste away our day?

Just for today.

I love

anything.

I love anything

as long as I'm with you.

So, can I stay loving you?

Just you.

I love 

this high.

I love

this Cloud 9.

I just wanted to write a little thank you to Prose and the community within.

Before I discovered this place I'd pretty much given up on writing. I had books full of poems, songs, whatever, that would never see the light of day. I wasn't getting anything out of writing anymore so I called it quits. Prose has reignited something in me. Being in a community of like minded people who just want to pour their hearts onto a page and share their writes with each other, wow, I'd only imagined such a place existed. It sounds silly, but there aren't too many writers from my generation, at least not where I come from, and if there are they've sneakily evaded my ever watchful gaze..

I tip my hat to the creators of this wondrous place, you'll never know how much you've helped this boy.

I guess I'll leave it at that..

And once again, I'll pick up the pen..
