Painthe tells her to paint it red
but she paints it pink instead
because it doesn’t really matter

[he is color-blind]

Wrong NumberRecognize:

I have no idea who you are or what you might have meant to me
On whatever Saturday night it was that you thought you knew me
Inside out in the backseat of your car.

You are just a phone number scrawled
On a little piece of paper,
Or scribbled upon the
Shred of a bar napkin

Keyed into my phone
Under a name

That is not your own.

So don't hate me when I tell you:

Sorry, wrong number
Hell in a HandbasketHe promised her hell in a handbasket
But those were empty promises like all the others
And she was none to sorry to see them go
Slipping out the window like a secret lover
Late on some dark and wet november night
Just before winter came knocking at her door
To take their place at the foot of her bed.

If you want to be cold,
        she hissed,
Surely I can teach you how.
Towers and Trialsthere is a tower in which I dwell
with spires spiralling skyward
straight up, perfectly perpendicular
to the lovely lay of the lowlands
rolling gently beneath the shadow;
on these lands i dare not trespass.
i tread neither upon the thorny turf
of the heather strewn highlands
beautiful backdrop though they may be
for the feathery summer sunset.
nay, here i remain for time eternal
seven and several stories to scale,
trapped, truly; this tower my trial
that i, tenacious, endure.

Day Break and Hour Glass

:iconultimateoutlaw:

The light has flown; now latticework of vine
On stony trellis, piled high with roses,
Becomes backdrop for lovers pressed, entwined.
Sultry whispers hit air, then strike poses;

Falter step of breath sweeps the ivy from
Her hair, and his eyes say: love, linger there
Awhile longer, until the night is done;
For the veil of daylight brings our despair.

Parting is only sorrow, and bitter
Never sweet, like the taste of your lips and
Your lies and the time we waste and witter;
I will be the hourglass; you-- the sand.

When day breaks I go with it; shatter, flee.
When the sun shines, love, you at last run free.
:iconultimateoutlaw:
bonjour.

I am back.

:iconrhyme-and-reason: submission, being that its a sonnet and all.

:heart: miss me? :P
