A Hopeless Romantic

Let's fall so hopelessly in love that we forget our names
Let's dance in the bliss of ignorance so no two days will be the same
I've been feeling like a schoolgirl lately and my skirt's above the knees
Just to see you turn your head around one hundred eighty degrees
I've been swooning like a desperate widow lately and I'm breaking down
I've been scanning all the faces hoping that I'll see you around
I've been smiling at my cell phone and flirting with the sky
I've been acting like a madman and you are the reason why
Please let's sit just a little closer so I can hold your hand
'Cause then you'll fall in love with me if all does go as planned
And once you've fallen in love with me there is no going back
I will hoist you on a train ride and we'll be going down the track
I hope that you will let me peel your clothes off to the floor
I hope your lips taste as good as they look, or maybe even more
I want the smell of your cologne to seep into my vein
So when I get a paper cut, your scent will ease the pain
I want to memorize your eyes and cocky sideways grin
I want to kiss and overanalyze every square inch of your skin
Judging by our heartbeats, we were simply meant to be
Come close, breathe my air; be a hopeless romantic like me

Happiness is Pink Jellybeans

Happiness is jumping in a pool of pink jellybeans Feeling the cool candy on my skin Happiness is enjoying the pleasures of life Without worrying about confessing my sins Whoever said that we are gluttons For biting juicy pears on the beach Must never have felt the sand in their toes They must have placed their own soul out of reach And what about greed? It's not all that bad To bury a pile of chestnuts for the spring All animals do it, so why shouldn't we? If it's greedy to love yourself, let it be Lust is the one that makes pastors blush Yet it's one of the greatest joys in the body A kiss and a dance, laughter and romance Why did we ever label this happiness as naughty? Have you ever seen a cat sad when it naps? It is okay to sometimes be lazy The body needs rest as does the mind Or the world will set fire from the crazy If happiness is a sin, then let me smile in hell Looking up at the do-gooders above For to live is to err, to cry, and to sing Happiness is pink jell...

Humble

Remember the days we feared the gods? Neither do I, or maybe we just forgot I think we need a little superstition To quell our aching ambition We need to honour the moon and sun Just as the cavemen had done To find awe in the things all 'round Before we jumped in tech and drowned If we were to hunt our next meal We'd starve collectively, I feel Because we're even too cowardly to look In the beast's eyes whose lives we took It's simply sliced and put on display In a supermarket on the way Yes, we need to get back to our roots Take off our socks and high heel boots It's okay to feel a little scared It is how our ancestors fared Life shouldn't be riding on a cloud Idle hands make the devil proud So when you dwell into the woods Don't forget that the gods are not all good They teach us lessons as we preen Gluing our eyes to our phone screen If you're famous and if you're clever Doesn't mean you'll live forever We may be great, but there's...

Love From Afar

Some people are in our lives Meant to be loved from a distance There's nothing wrong with that It's just that we're too different Or perhaps even too alike Two north poles repelling each other A couple of lone wolves mingling A dog barking at its own reflection The same blood runs through our veins But we are not meant to know each other We're just meant to co-exist On the same planet, but ignorant of the other A colourful scaled fish roaming the seas While a spider sits in its web in a barn One wholly unaware of the other But needing the other in some way For earth to reach an equilibrium Not everything is meant to be held forever Some things are meant to be let go Like the old school pencils at the bottom of the drawer Or the Barbie dolls in the back of the closet They're loved, but loved at a distance Admired from afar
