Your name

 

I feel an ache in my gut

and it's getting bigger.

Stretching out around me

like a balloon,

and I am in the middle

just waiting for the pop

as reality bursts

back around me.

It just won't stop.

The yearning

The longing.

The earth is turning

but I’m stuck

just thinking of you.

 

I have a crack in my heart,

it's seeping over my lungs

into the lining of my stomach,

pooling up all over the top.

It makes me lovesick.

I feel every hope

rising to the surface.

I just wish to be where you are

holding your hand

as we watch the stars.

Listening to your breath

like it’s a song from the angels.

 

I'm running on fumes

longing to be

holding on to you

love,

but you float away

like every dream

I’ve ever had

and all I’m left

is a weighty feeling of dismay.

No one even knows the tears

that flow inside me.

Outwardly my face shows nothing.

Inside I am full of rivers,

icy depths that need reheating

by the power of your heart beating

beside me.

 

You are beautiful,

more beautiful than

any earthly view.

You carry a special light

inside of you, like a star

that has crashed to earth

and I’m drawn to you

like your gravity pulls me in

to become one with your burning flame.

Your name shines in

every thought that

flitters across my brain.

Your name dances across the rain,

in a strobing light show for the eyes.

Your name sits on my lips,

in a wish kissed to the skies.

Your name is nectar to my throat

Easing the rawness

of the tears on which I choked.

Your name is hope drawn

in scrawled crayon sketches.

Your name sits like the milk bottle moon

singing her luna tunes to me.

Your name stretches across the universe

and yet I hold it tightly inside for all time.

For love is all I can ever feel.

A smile forming

 

Seeing a smile

forming

on your lips

lightens

the day

more than the sun

in the sky

or the flowers

that sway

on the roadside

along the way.

 

Your eyes

shine

like stars

twinkling

across the

darkest night.

The smile pulls me in

like the moon luring

the tides closer

as they beckon

the seaside towns 

to swim.

 

And I’m drowning.

 

My heart is

dragging me down

like a lead weight

that I’m tied to.

I feel the current

rushing through

every nerve,

and I want to swim.

Oh, so much

I want to swim.

But I feel I don’t deserve

the happiness

that you would serve,

so, I just swerve

the hope as it flies

headfirst

towards me,

and I dive deeper

into this sea

of inadequacy

 

Cast me

a moonbeam

to cling on to,

a ray of hope

to swing on

through these

washed out thoughts

that cloud my days

with thoughts of you.

I want to see your smile grow

every day.

I want to see

the stars streak

across your eyes,

the glow

in your cheeks

as your lips

start to rise.

That magic smile.

I want to see it

when I open my eyes.

I want it to

be the last

I see

when the

daylight dies.

Selling happiness

 

Happiness is just a purchase away

whilst you walk these grey streets

as the wintery sleet coats your skin.

Happiness is a warming blanket to ease the sting.

A filter showing only the colours of spring.

Purchase power purchases power,

watch as the lesser sheep cower at your feet.

or blank out their bleats

with the new shiny, Ai powered,

noise cancelling, ultra sleek ear protectors

that come free with every purchase.

Just sign on the dotted line

and we will share only the best beats.

 

For just the price of one soul

you too can ignore the misery,

escape the tragedy of a world

that wants you to fail on repeat.

 

Happiness is a purchase away.

We have the best medication to

make it seem like the sun is shining again.

You will see through the fog pollution screen

for just the small sum of a lifetime of dreams.

What is life anyway? Work till you drop to pay

for a short getaway to escape the nightmares

that you see if you open your eyes too early.

 

Happiness is a purchase away.

Just give us your body,

on call 24/7, 365 days a year

and we will provide a smile

once in a while, just one, when it seems

your life is flowing down the drain.

But you will suck it up

like it’s the finest nectar

from a gold-laced cup.

 

Happiness is just a purchase away.

Take what we are selling

and plough it down your throat.

You won’t cope without the latest technology,

how will you survive without our special

extended warrantee on life?

Just sign on the dotted line.

An x will do just fine.

 

Happiness is a purchase away.

Ignore the world you see.

Just one chip installed in a painless procedure

will take the darkness

and replace it with something pretty.

Don’t try to find happiness any other way.

You won’t find it in the flowers that sway,

we will take those away.

It won’t be in the sunshine

as that has been clouded since we

set our plans in play.

Happiness comes when we say,

and you will be in arrears till your death day.

Give in. Sign on the dotted line.

It won’t cost you a dime,

just a tiny piece of your mind

but just remember

we can factory reset at any time.
