EMERALD
I am the emerald in the earth,
The emerald green of the sea
I am the emerald flower that boasts
And the emerald-coloured tree,
I’m more alive because I am, all I am without questioning me
…simply be.
MIDNIGHT CALLS
If you tell me to stop
that all hope is lost
that my chance is gone
we will never belong,
that no amount of time
will ever make you mine
once is all we will be,
that I must look and see
there will never be a day
returning you will say
you love me again
and let us begin.
Then I will accept and let go of all I’ve kept.
Until then…
I will sit and wait,
midnight calls I will take
for a chance to trace your lips,
your hands upon my hips,
to look into your eyes
see days of clear blue skies
my hand upon your chest
as we lay and rest.
I will sit and wait
and midnight calls I will take
until you assert it’s through,
“there is no chance with you”,
because I see no other
I wouldn’t even bother
whilst I think of you
no other will I pursue.
I will sit and wait, and midnight calls I will take.
