Untitled #03

If you're looking for just love
You've come to the wrong island,
I bloom poison ivy and smell of roses
And lavender and jasmine.
If you've come looking for a friend
You've come to the right corner,
There are waterfalls and strong rocks
Places to catch up and hold on
Fears to conquer and memories to make.
If you're looking for a lover
Maybe I'll let you in my fancy mansion,
Where libraries are an endless maze
Where there is coffee and a cosy fireplace
But your key might just get taken away.

There is a way beyond these games.

If you can love the poison ivy

And find that waterfall

Then you might stay in my mansion -

Be my best friend
And I’ll be your forevermore.

Midnight thoughts

Would you hold me very close,
Curl around me like a question mark, l
Like I could be the answer to some,
If not all, 
Of your unspoken questions?

I wish I knew to tell you,
The truth would soon spill out of me,
It doesn't make sense to be
more than half asleep,
And only having you in mind...

But that's how it is these days,
My first and last thoughts are always you,
You and your beautiful mind.
