Shadows Fall...

A perfect moment between two strangers. I fell in love twice in a single breath. 

We live in constant shadows. 

Something alive and simple, something most spectacular. Forget the evening, forget your tears and the clouds with their empty promises of rain. Remember the stars, the blur of the flower as it swayed in the breeze, his kiss against your neck. 

Don't fret about tomorrow and the long days that never pass. Something waits around the corner for you. We all go home eventually.

Can We Share A Memory...

Those who don't feel at home never unpack their bags, no matter how long they call a city their base. We first met at an airport, that's where I first saw your face, but that didn't matter anymore because now you're everywhere. 

My favourite place in the world is Grand Central Station, New York, simply because it reminds me of an airport and that reminds me of you. It's filled up with all the emotions of the Earth and all the people in it. Over a million of us pass through there each day but the sounds bouncing off the walls are not of noise, it's not even loud in there. It's something else entirely.

The hush of shuffling feet, reluctant to take a journey. The sound of lips brushing together as two lovers say goodbye. The sound of a long embrace between an old pair, afraid it may be their last. 

A kiss on the forehead, his gentle hands cupping her face. The camera snaps of visitors desperate to catch a moment. 

A glance at a stranger, one second to fall in love.  

The sound of wonder in its windows, ceiling and floor. Echos down the corridors. Minds thinking, will she still be waiting when I return? Should I have held his hand for longer? If I wasn't in a rush would she let me have her number? Would I even ask? 

Is this our last moment?

Soft sobbing, the excitement of going home, a fear that things have changed. 

What do emotions sound like? 

He puts his hands in his pockets, she fixes her handbag to her shoulder. Her hair brushing her neck as she turns back for one last glance. But his head is down. 

They part without saying a word. 

The click of her heels in the distance, a deafening reminder of her beauty in such a quiet place.

Distant Rain...

The whitewash took me back, all my strength was gone. The cool winter air cursed through my body like wildfire, the addiction of life made me free.

He put his mouth to mine after a long time of absence. We gave and stole each others breath simultaneously. I couldn't stop. He's the ending to my dream, my bed time story.

We will be young forever.

Eyes Wide Shut...

The crisp whisper of night, the dark day that follows morning, backgrounds are out of place.

Wandering through I look at the world with beauty, it looks at me in despair. Somewhere it lost its meaning and sits lonely waiting for a prayer. 

I found a few lost dreams and put them in a bag. I left them on the bench for you, all you have to do is open your eyes.

Shades of Fear..

Dreaming in French, shades of purple are deeper. The leaves follow a different pattern on the ground.

Softness is a feeling, a texture, an action enclosing your words. Tomorrows kiss is in your eyes, a lifetime of love is in your heart.

My lips hold small cuts from kissing the pages and inhaling the words. My breath makes them damp, sometimes they stick together. I love only one thing more than this, but nothing keeps me still. 

The shadows of night propel me further into a space that is not my own. 

The only thing that scares me is that my tears may one day fall on blank pages.
