CLUTCHING LOVE
One afternoon, like a lizard I clung to a wall as she passed My mouth opened And instantly closed Fear? No Sheer desire to quench the flavour Of a perceived amazing adventure That would either ruin or rise Lost in myself Found in another If I could sever my heart from my chest Or my brain from my body The opposites of the same position Thwarting eithers threats and twists The lips, fixed With a heart that yearned for yours A brain that resisted to think A mouth that refused to open My instantly wobbly legs slowly carried my heavy head away She disappeared into the crowd And I disappeared into my emotions. The thoughts of what could be Trust me, she is amazing in every way possible The roots of the very tree That would either provide me shade Or crush me to shreds kept growing Feeding from the nutritious emotions I harboured In my heart The leaves, greener The trunk, bigger The roots, stronger I shuddered
