Poems I didn’t realise I had money
So I have nothing to give yet
I’m writing down what I feel
Some way to repay the debt
All I owe you is everything in my heart
My soul, my mind, my thoughts
All burn for you, it is my part
...
You are dynamic like a wind
Blowing me out to sea
I’m hanging on so tight
I swear I’ll never let go
...
But I thought you were a spade
And a spade is a spade
You’re not
You are moulding like a sculpture
Shedding so much dust
Dust that sparks and burns
Dust I love
And as the dust falls you change
Dynamic
...
I will never let go as you slip and turn
You are not the shedding dust
You are not the clay that makes the shape
You are the skeleton underneath
You are the framework in the clay
...
And all the clay I see, I love
You rub it off, you shave it off
The pieces fall to the floor
I can’t stick them back on
And I cry into them
...
But they are not you
You pile on more putty
It is not you
More layers of skin
Such a change, yet always the same
You are a spade that lies within
...
I feel up, I feel down
I feel like a big dipper, a day tripper
Hanging onto the mane
Of a galloping horse
So tightly, I mustn’t fall off
You are the wind, a turbulent sea
But all I know
Is you are me
...
You were my lump of earth
As I changed before
I grew into you
Rooted inside like a tree
At one and dependent upon
And you made me free
Free to be me at last
The only me that can exist with you
I can’t help my quakes when you shift
But spliced with you, I shift with you
...
Please forgive me if I wobble
And my blossoms fall off
When I die of a winter
And the parasites make their nests
I will blossom again
...
I cannot live without you holding me
I need to believe it is eternal
You are my sky, my Sun
My nature
Me
...
I will become dynamic too
Moving with your mountains forever
With you, in me
And me, in you
Rub away my dust
And I take shape in your hands
Whatever forever brings
We are always
Me, you
Love
