UNDERGROUND RETROSPECT: LOVE
Garden of Disease
Dolls and ballet dancers
Children’s songs and primary colors
Everything under the sun
In the garden of disease
Once roses grew here
But leaves wilt
And fall to the Earth
Sullen, alone
Like me
The thorn in my planter’s thumb
She was the only one
For me
Candice, my Candice
Come home please
Children’s songs and primary colors
Everything under the sun
In the garden of disease
Once roses grew here
But leaves wilt
And fall to the Earth
Sullen, alone
Like me
The thorn in my planter’s thumb
She was the only one
For me
Candice, my Candice
Come home please

Noctis Necrophilia
In to the abyss of the night
I crave for mortal wickedness
Winter moon high in the sky
Cold wind blows from north
Her rotting aurora encircle me
I dug her and caressed her body
Her coldness pierced my skin
I’m obsessed with my Necrophilia
In this darkness, I walk alone
My thoughts hung in cruel ways
Coz My life withered ages ago
No escape from this misery
I crave for mortal wickedness
Winter moon high in the sky
Cold wind blows from north
Her rotting aurora encircle me
I dug her and caressed her body
Her coldness pierced my skin
I’m obsessed with my Necrophilia
In this darkness, I walk alone
My thoughts hung in cruel ways
Coz My life withered ages ago
No escape from this misery

The plastic bag
Four floors up my morning routine pauses,
I keep watch in that quiet moment,
leaning on the window-sill, fogging the glass,
I slip away and wait, watch the street
even if he makes me late.
“He’s here” I say out loud,
loud enough to clang the jailer's key
but there’s only me inside.
Outside the day blows all things east
everyone has to walk at an angle.
He marches in polished shoes,
pressed trousers needle
through a forced open raincoat,
the button straining as much as his face,
he never sees me,
whatever the weather.
I would normally watch all his steps
but today the wind has filled a plastic bag,
it moves like a Chinese dragon
towards my window,
breathing fire into my face.
Then it’s gone and I chase its tail
back towards the pavement.
He has been watching the same
spiraled dance.
His gaze puts a hand inside me,
pressing my boiled up blood,
it pushes me from the window
then pulls me back,
forced to look again,
He's still there
smiling up at me,
I tremble as I wave.

How we Danced
I remember last summer
Holding hands, holding thoughts
Whispering secrets
Falling deeply in love
I remember that night
How we danced
How you spun me around
High into the atmosphere
I remember that weekend
Lips on lips
And for the first time
Your tongue met mine
How I wonder now
How I worry about
This love we share
If it's truly there
Did that I kiss I gave
Leave a stain on your heart?
Or is it made of sand?
My tracks eroding with the wind...
If this love will pass
Give me one more chance
To hold you once more
And remember how we danced
Holding hands, holding thoughts
Whispering secrets
Falling deeply in love
I remember that night
How we danced
How you spun me around
High into the atmosphere
I remember that weekend
Lips on lips
And for the first time
Your tongue met mine
How I wonder now
How I worry about
This love we share
If it's truly there
Did that I kiss I gave
Leave a stain on your heart?
Or is it made of sand?
My tracks eroding with the wind...
If this love will pass
Give me one more chance
To hold you once more
And remember how we danced

Thanks to everyone who entered. My favourites were from Johnnyblaze, and FromtheAsh. But as I said its going to a vote.
Helichrysum bracteatum
We were two parts of one
We were alone together
We were everything
We were.
Now we are nothing
We are dust blown away by the wind
We are alone
We are nothing
To the first and the last na zawsze,
L

Give It All to You
I would have given my last dying breath to you
If it means you and our love can last infinitely.
I wish the world could see it as something more
Than naïve or foolish. As the sky goes from blue
To black, I would give you the stars as the intimacy
Between us flows so easily. As you open the door
To your heart I would do anything to ease the pain
And fear I see etched there in your soul. Like a strike
Of lightning, our love is like fate standing eye to eye.
I would stand in the middle of the street as the rain
Comes pouring down if that means I can kiss you like
We read about in books and see in movies. Baby, I
Already know love does not come easily for you, but
I see it in your eyes and words. I see it in the way
You hold my hand in yours. I see it in how you trust
Me despite the fact you have been hurt and in a rut
Before. Love should never keep one shaky or swaying
Side to side. People say love might be chemistry or lust
That comes bubbling to the surface, but love should
Keep us steady and ready to take the jump despite
The fear of the murky. Love stronger than any steel.
Love that holds us as we float like pieces of wood.
Love should steer us towards the hope and light
Shining from the heavens. Love that we can feel.
If it means you and our love can last infinitely.
I wish the world could see it as something more
Than naïve or foolish. As the sky goes from blue

And fear I see etched there in your soul. Like a strike

The Mystery of Love
If someone had foretold that you would hold me so close to your heart,
I would have laughed and said, “That is not going to happen to me.”
Even if my mind had told me that I would win the love of a goddess,
I would have regarded it as a dream that could not possibly come true.
My darling, I could not conceive of a woman with such sweet love,
Neither could I envision the beauty and rare charm that you possess.
If you were not standing right in front of me with that pretty smile,
I would not believe that you really love me with your whole heart.
And if I did not kiss your lips, the mystery of love would still baffle me.
I felt that true love was just a fictional story before I saw it in your eyes.
If you did not convince me of your sincerity and the trueness of your love,
My heart would not be bubbling over with excitement at this time.
I have prayed earnestly for an ideal lover, and you appeared out of the blue.
If you had rejected my advances when I greeted you on the road,
I would have walked away feeling very discouraged and downhearted.
I never thought I would feel the bliss of falling in love with someone,
But now I know the secret of the shooting star, the moon, and the rainbow.
My darling, the answer to the mystery of love is right here in my arms.

You're My Beautiful Rose
Darling, you’re my beautiful rose.
I’m so proud to walk around with you.
You’re the most gorgeous flower of nature.
God created you especially for me.
You enamour me with your charm.
I find good fortune in your touch.
Your beauty decorates my dwelling house.
And your love is a treasure to my heart.
Let me sing a Latin love song for you.
I’ll mesmerise you with my euphonious voice.
Your amiability brings me happiness.
The woman in you excites the man in me.
I get so emotional when I talk about you.
Thank you for accepting me in your life.
Now I can show everyone my beautiful rose.
You’re my beloved; I’ll love you until death.
Darling, I can’t evaluate your love,
For it’s worth more than all the jewels.
They say diamonds are forever,
But your love is more durable than diamonds.
Come to the balcony immediately.
Bring me your irresistible love once more.
Stay here in my arms and thrill me.
Please don’t defy your heart’s command.
The moon is showing us its glory.
I see the starlight reflecting from your eyes.
Sleep well tonight my little miss.
In the morning, I’ll wake you with a tender kiss.
I want to spend limitless time with you,
Not just a few erotic moments.
Darling, promise me your faithfulness.
Say you’ll always be my beautiful rose.

From My Heart to My Mind
This road I always travel, I travel so well
Sometimes its a trip to heaven
Sometimes its a return from hell
I’m lost at the crossroads, It’s a cross I bear
To my left there’s a band of gold
To my right there’s someone else to hold
From my heart to my mind
No peace, just fear I find
My compass is spinning out of control
You say it’s okay, You say I’ll find my way
But it’s masquerade we all play
You left me here on a shelf, oh so alone
You take me down we play for awhile
Just a temporary loan
What do the both of you know anyways
Its all in the name of Love
Left like a refugee in a jealous storm
Can you save me I’m so torn
From my heart to my mind
No peace, just fear I find
My compass is spinning out of control
You say it’s okay, You say I’ll find my way
From my heart to my mind
No peace, just fear I find
My compass is spinning out of control
You say it’s okay, You say I’ll find my way
But I don’t know...
I don’t know
They say my future lies beyond
They say my future lies beyond
They say my future lies beyond this yellow brick road
From my heart to my mind
No peace, just fear I find
My compass is spinning out of control
You say it’s okay, You say I’ll find my way
From my heart to my mind
No peace, just fear I find
My compass is spinning out of control
You say it’s okay, You say I’ll find my way
I don’t know
This road between my heart and mind
No peace, just you and you I find
You say it’s okay
You say I’ll find my way
I don’t know
Sometimes its a trip to heaven
Sometimes its a return from hell
I’m lost at the crossroads, It’s a cross I bear
To my left there’s a band of gold
To my right there’s someone else to hold
From my heart to my mind
No peace, just fear I find
My compass is spinning out of control
You say it’s okay, You say I’ll find my way
But it’s masquerade we all play
You left me here on a shelf, oh so alone
You take me down we play for awhile
Just a temporary loan
What do the both of you know anyways
Its all in the name of Love
Left like a refugee in a jealous storm
Can you save me I’m so torn
From my heart to my mind
No peace, just fear I find
My compass is spinning out of control
You say it’s okay, You say I’ll find my way
From my heart to my mind
No peace, just fear I find
My compass is spinning out of control
You say it’s okay, You say I’ll find my way
But I don’t know...
I don’t know
They say my future lies beyond
They say my future lies beyond
They say my future lies beyond this yellow brick road
From my heart to my mind
No peace, just fear I find
My compass is spinning out of control
You say it’s okay, You say I’ll find my way
From my heart to my mind
No peace, just fear I find
My compass is spinning out of control
You say it’s okay, You say I’ll find my way
I don’t know
This road between my heart and mind
No peace, just you and you I find
You say it’s okay
You say I’ll find my way
I don’t know

Under Irish Sky
To lie in barley under Irish sky
As Herb Moon shone upon your naked form
My heart was captured by your Irish eyes
In peace before our passion’s gathering storm
That night, my love, we quietly embraced
And cultivated tenderness of touch
A lifetime’s magic in that time and place
Against which all loves since must not be judged!
My wish, to see that moon again with you
Without the cares that life has since imposed
In hindsight all my future I’d eschew
And stay with you forever, unopposed
A fool I was, to ever say goodbye
To you, in barley, under Irish sky!
