Love Song

I went to the supermarket
With no particular thought in my head
And what do you think
I bumped into an old acquaintance 
Whom I had no particular thoughts about either way
But
I could not believe the words he spoke to me
The words that tumbled out of his mouth
Falling surprisingly onto my eardrums
I was taken aback
I was shocked
But flattered all the same
I could not believe the way he looked at me
Standing so close to me
Smiling so handsomely at me
Why had he not told me this before
He said he could not believe 
How well I looked
How good I looked 
And what a lovely mouth I have
He could not believe my age
I could not believe my reaction
The words that spilled out of my thoughts
Escaping my lips
Landing upon his eardrums
Rioting through his veins
He was taken aback
But flattered all the same
He said
Why did you not tell me these things before?
Well
I replied
I just needed to believe.

I must be after a fashion
A cup cake
All sweet and runny
Fragrant
Multi fruited 
Colourful 
And tasty
Lucky you!

A dreamy mixture
Of icing sugar
A sultana 
Here and there
A fancy 
A French one at that
Smelling sweetly nice
And delectable.

I could be chocolate dark
And light
Smooth hot 
Bubbly
Stirred up to max
Frothy and 
Cloying
With a taste never forgotten.

Lucky you
For finding me
A delicate interruption 
To your day
An excitement
A syrupy introduction
A cherry laced interaction
A creamy liquidity.
Never found in any bakers shop
Ha, ah ha ah ah
Who loved the sweet taste
Ha, ah ah ah ah 
Did you
Enjoy 
Your
Cup cake
Darling?

Ah ah ah ah!

The dangerously beautiful colours
Are all lies to our eyes
The deceptive creations entice
Fanciful hindering involvement
That's yours alone not mine.

Flippancy flourishes in you
But seriousness is what I need of you
You float upon your iced blue sea
I lie upon the intense red
And hell you still enter my head.

I see fire and what do you do
With your iced blue
You dampen my intense red
Until I am practically dead then you grip my arm
Enticing me to those heavenly white clouds.

Blissful intense red is what I now see for me
But for you it's still the iced blue
Now it's my turn 
To turn grey
Because you say I must stay away.

I rise the lightning strikes
Thunder bolts through my heart
It crackles
An electric blue now enters your head
Surely you must want me anything but dead?

Your sentiments are strong indeed
Resolute you now must be
You shall see
I will redeem all
You have taken from me.

But now you are dead
So too is my intense red
And I shall never forever let
Dangerously beautiful colours again
Enter my head.

I linger with you
Because I have to I linger
Because I want to I linger
Because I need to I linger
As sure as the snow
I’ll never let go or
Give you wings
So you can take flight
From me
I’ll make sure 
You’ll linger.

For the rest of your life 
You will linger within me
You will never leave me and
In your mind
I will linger
Forever
In you 
As you in me.
Where neither one of us can
Linger
One without
The other.

Let me gaze upon your face
A few seconds longer
That I may remember it a moment longer
Let me remember your touch
Even though at times it was all too much
Though in reality it was never enough
Let me stand before yourself a second longer
That I may smell the scent of you
So that its power and presence will linger
Forever
In myself.

You’re just passing through my life
Right now
In my life to take notice
Right now
And for the moment
You’ll be there
In my hair 
On my skin
And across my vexed brow
Being in the questions that live in my eyes
Your movements dancing about me
Teasing me
Right now.

Playing with me
To what was is 
And could
Become
Right now
As you pass through my life
Right now
For the time being
And then the next out of it
You could be gone in a flash
As quick as a dash
As quickly as turning off the light switch
Leaving me to where I was at before
You 
Right now.

I pressed my lips to the rim of the glass
You had just drank from
I caught the faint scent of you on it
Sending my thoughts back
To the moments before.

You drank the sweet liquid
Enjoying every sip 
You took
Down to the very last drop
From the glass.

I could see the joy
Crazed across your handsome face
As you run your fingers over the smoothness of it
And the coolness of its shape
As it intoxicated you.

Mmmm, I heard fall from your mouth
As you eyed me from your seated space
Come darling lets fill the glass again
Go back to that magical place 
Back to the orgiastic heaven.

I’ll be your lover
She said
And I’ll do anything you want me to
Just as long as it fits in with your time slots 
Diary
And schedule
Your day time rounds
And breaks in your day
All manner of events
That must coincide.
 
I came along 
Just at the right time
During a transition in your life
She said
I’ll be your lover for all time
Tonight
Today
Next year
And all the rest of the days of your life
She said.

But right now
She asks
Do you
Have a moment or two for me 
Just now
Do you have a minute to spare
Could you possibly
Fit me into a time slot
She requested
Today?
