Apple

Despite the apprehension

To give you my whole heart,

Wholeheartedly I must mention

You’ve upset the apple cart.

You’ve shaken my stirred

And most rotten beliefs,

You shook this twisted tree

To where you fell, so sweetly, at my feet.

And gleamed at me - brightly;

Like Snow White’s forbidden fruit.

The cold core of me held tightly

And tugged from it‘s ripened root.

Futile and unfathomable

Was the famine within my chest.

I wore heartbreak for a year

Like a cold gold-plated crest.

And now I jest,

And ingest the fact,

That now I couldn’t ask for more.

Replenishing my heart,

Without the hunger I felt before.

Blurred Boundaries

Must I always write in verse

And tangle and entwine my lines?

Must I box my sole creativity

By acquitting to straighter rhymes?

At times, I don’t think it’s possible

To voice full artistic flare;

Putting in place fixed structures

Makes it harder to take you there.

Where? Well, what do you think?

What do you feel?

Are you close enough to it?

Don’t put the cup to the wall...

Put your foot through - break through it!

Creativity is too raw for a

Feeble tapping at one’s door.

You must run in and loot the lot

With a wilfulness to break a leg, and the law.

To be dismissed

What will I risk

To jump back to you

To twist all I worked towards

And allow it to fall through?

I’m now a different person

Someone you never knew

Are you sure you really want me

Or ready to watch your perception skew?

Our perspectives still differ

On how we went on to suffer

You seem to think you're worse off

Because I eluded you with my buffer

But no other than you

Broke my soul in two

How melodramatic

But I refuse to lie too
