strangers

Isn’t it strange?
So strange?
That after all this time
A smile is all I get?

That after all the history
My arm can’t go past your elbow?
Come on,
I thought we had chemistry!
In fact,
One full of mystery!
Then why do you give me the shoulder,
That was once oh so tender?
But you returned didn’t you!
They said you would sue
That it’s you I used.
Touched.
Probed.
Poked.
Then robbed?
But you sobbed
So they had to believe,
That relief
Wasn’t what I claimed to give.

Isn’t it strange
That after I held out my palm
You flew?
Up…
Up…
And away…
Leaving me with no calm.
The sky seemed so bright
Lights.
Camera.
Action.
But just for a while.
Then the clouds.
Then the darkness.
Then the fall.
And back onto my palm again.
And onto the page
And onto the blog.

Isn’t it strange?
How we always end up together?
How our letters always cross
And fall into a perfect simple symphony
Of words so sweet
So…
So…
Strange…

Forgive me Lover for I have sinned.

Forgive me Lover for I have sinned.

It has been 6 weeks since we last kissed.
It has been 42 nights since we last touched.
It has been 42 days since we last danced.
But I promise all that will be erased
By the joys of a simple embrace
Your white on my black is all it takes
For the steps to be retraced
Into the intimacy that once was.

Forgive me Lover for I have sinned.

It has been a while since I last looked into your eyes
You must have thought inside I turned to ice
A cold winter night or worse
But it has been hard
Inside I’ve been dead
Buried
I almost forgot about you
But I didn’t
Am back for more
Hear me out before you throw me out the door

Forgive me lover for I have sinned

But I promise never to leave your side
It’s so cold outside
Allow me back inside
Let my pen once again slide
Over your virgin purity
And your whiteness
And my blackness
Will create a history
Immortalised in words.

So dear blog, am back and I missed you so, take this as a long overdue apology for my long absence from the blogosphere.
