"But when you're in love
You only see what you wanna see
And all I see is me for you
And you for me.."
- Mary J. Blige from "Be Happy"
"I'll take a life of crime
Just to make you mine.."
- Jennifer Charles of Elysian Fields from "To Catch A Thief" by Lovage
cap-ri-ole [n]: an upward leap made by a trained horse without going
forward...
Was our leap a capriole?
Fated for shipwreck like Kate Winslet and DiCaprio?
Leaving us up a creek without paddle or boat?
I wanted to be the only one to see you pose freaky and bold
Like Janet Jackson on the cover of "Damita Jo"
The one to whose mouth the milk from your C-cups flowed
Who’d piss you off, get rebuffed and scolded
Then we’d kiss and make up like Puff and J-Lo
I didn’t need my shrink to be you
If you just held me and told me, “Everything will be all right..”
I’d fuck around and believe you..
But I've lost favor in your Court Supreme
Unfortunately
Married and divorced in a week
Aborted the fetus
Uglified my gorgeous dream
Our courtship is ceased
How could I forfeit the queen; the most important piece??
Possibility was our progeny and we orphaned he
Wastewater tears leak through mine eyes’ porous seams
Pouring streams of scorching heat
Torrentially torching me
No more fairy tales for we, so click your heels, Dorothy
The bears are here; the scourge of sleep
So no more porridge, Goldy
From inseparable to irreparable; I abhor these extremes
There’s more to this smile you see
Than just this smile, you see
Conflicting sentiments are going wild within me…
“Read her a poem...
...LEAVE HER ALONE.
Spoil her with gifts...
...CALL IT QUITS.
PLAYER, MOVE ON...
...TAKE what you want!...
...BE HER FRIEND...
...Tease her skin.
That’s your woman.
TAKE her...
...SHE DOESN'T SEE IT...
...MAKE her!
HE'S with her.
Don’t you care??
Please, KISS her!...
...DON'T YOU DARE!!..."
She was my Muse
Now all is blank canvas, pain and sadness
If not for her, no mass or space “matters”
Now the world is on my back, cuz; to hell with Atlas
Without her, nothing else matters..
"I love you
I love you
I love you
I do
I only make jokes to distract myself
From the truth.."
- Sia Ferle from Zero 7's "Distractions"
