Looking at my window
Fireworks in the sky

In my mouth
Illness
I could have traveled
Learned survival
Gone on dates
Made new mates

Loneliness
Loneliness is better than
Phoneyness
On a mission
To send me to the kitchen
A chocolate bar
Your favourite chocolate bar singing a solo!
Schizophrenia
I just want to run
Dessert or the desert?
Like a far star
I sit up at the bar
A slug hitching hiking on a bird!
What’s wrong?
No candles
Take my picture
In a Viking ship
At the Grand Canyon
At Niagara Falls
At the Pyramids
At a Love Shrine
The Wall of China
The Statue of Jesus
The Himalayas
You are note-perfect
Mates doing your head in
Jealous of who your bedin
Dropping you cause your fat and on meds
Eating too much nutella on bread
Mates doing your head in
Jealous of who you are petting
Everything has gone dead
Story
I felt the muscles on his stomach and reached for his belt,pulling him
Towards me,kissing and gasping.He put his hands through my hair
And my neck tingled like a single drop of water.
We were in a alleyway,a passionate secret.
I looked around for flowers and romance.
I remember thinking,next time there would be dinner and candles.
But school was not candles.
I loved to kiss and dreamed of holding hands on a bus,
Both of us listening to my walkman.
I would wait for the bus and smile if he was on it,walking to the back
All excited!!!
If he wasn’t ,I would be all disappointed.
Instead,I put on strawberry lip balm at every break time and look around for him.
My love rises into the air like a rocket
I love your hands when they are deep in my pocket!!

He took her
by the waist
Moved the
curl from her face
They both
looked up to space
There love
was embraced
He took her
by the hand
Ran amongst
the sand
Found her a
diamond and sang
He kissed
her on the shoulders
And neck
Like she
had a swan neck
He told her
she was special
In a way
that was so gentle
He smelled
her hair and closed his eyes
Lightly
touched her thighs
He lit a
candle
Put his arm
out for a handful,a damsel

Before his
lips
Before his
lips,my life was spent in the darkness of the woods
When we
kissed,I didn’t want us to part
The
longest,longest kiss,I miss,I really miss
I cannot
forget his lips
Every night
I put my head on the pillow
And think
about his lips
I feel like
I am on a airship
I just want
him to love me like Pip
Give
shelter to the love I have for his lips!!
Before his
eyes
Before his
eyes looked in my direction
I didn’t
feel any protection
The ocean
was too high
I watched
on a cliff and gave a sigh
Before his
eyes
The ocean
was too dry
I cried and
I prayed everyday
I miss
those blue skies
Twinkling
eyes
Before his
smile
Before his
smile, happiness had left me
For some
time
But then I
saw stars and heard rhyme
I heard the
church bell chime
I smelled
the flowers and felt sunshine
Because of
his smile
You are a
wave of white in the ocean
Sharing the
light!
A good pud
buffet!
With love
and hugs

Love Scene
Love Scene
Like
particles of tinsel falling from the sky
You filled
my eyes
Like
colours of the rainbow I didn’t want to say goodbye
At first I
was shy, but you made me look high to the stars
Midnight,
walking on a beach
We held a
love token each, shining
Sitting on
a fireside rug
The smell
of firewood
Lights
flickering, I could feel his hand like a dreamhand touching me
So tender I
knew I would always defend him
I imagined
kissing in the school corridor
I watched
you drawing through the class door
I just
wanted to spend time with you evermore
You made me
feel better in the glasses I wore
I remember
nights out when I was just fourteen
Walking the
streets to make a love scene
I remember
nights out when I was fifteen
Wearing
short dresses above the knee
Rebellious,
but so nervous around you
But when I
found you,
You were
kissing someone else
Tearful and
alone
I felt like
a beach stone
Soft pink
colours in the sky
Help me continue
living
Sometimes I
just want to call
And be with
him
The secret
tree
Let’s shake
the leaves and make a sea!

I hate the

When the
dentist takes an eternity!
Approach me
like lace and velvet!
Every cloud
has a silver lining
So I will
keep pining!
Today,I
feel as:
Pleased as
punch,
Fit as a
fiddle,
Keen as a
knife,
Hot as a
griddle,
Bold as
brass,
Bouncy as a
ball,
Keen as
mustard,
High as a
wall,
Bright as a
button,
Light as a
feather,
Fresh as a
daisy,
Fragrant as
a heather,
Chirpy as a
cricket,
Sound as a
bell,
Sharp as a
needle,
Deep as a
well,
High as a
kite,
Strong as a
bull,
Bubbly as
bathwater,
Warm as
wool,
Clean as a
pin,
Shiny as
money,
Quick as
lightning,
Sweet as
honey,
Cool as a
cucumber,
Fast as a
hare,
Right as
rain,
Brave as a
bear,
Lively as a
monkey,
Busy as a
bee,
God good as
gold,
Free as a
sea,
I’m so
happy-
I’m just
lost for words-Gervace Phinn

Stars
It’s like
God cried and space kept his tears
A sunset is
a pouring soul
Like
burning coal
Still
waiting to share a Clementine sunset
Still
waiting to share a Clementine moon
Still
waiting to share the stars and their pictures
He had eyes
of rain and shame
Rainy eyes
and goodbyes
Eyes of
serenity
So calm and
cheerful
One day
Memory
I will have
my memory
If I was
the sun showering my light
Would you
be the moon flowering at night?
Dreaming
under the trees
Time to
stop the tears
The path of
life
The path of
the moon
Storm ocean
Birds
singing the latest chart hit
Gives me
bubbles of joy!
‘The world
of my dreams’-Eleaner Iarjeon

a forever flower
