I don't know if this is right to post here. It is most certainly something I wrote about break up but thats the thing. I wrote this a while back. Your request was to write, not to post something you once wrote. However, for good or bad, here it is:
Consume Me
Lovely traces
I can sense you in everything
The way that you move me
Takes me far away – absent. I seek no escape, I flee
Dreaming through your eyes, you wander through your mind
I'm overtaken by the way that you deliver me
I'm transcended, there's no place I'd rather be
Than here in your arms, yet incomplete, it's agony
(chorus)
You consume me, you consume me
Like a burning flame running through my veins
You consume me, move through me
Anytime, anyplace. Invade my space and consume me.
Wholly devoted
I immerse myself in you
Wash me in your love
Cause drowning in the thought of you floods my soul.
I'm taken by the things you do
doesn't matter what I lose, I'm yours
I've walled off my heart you'll never get in
Yet you smash through my defences, time and again
How do you do that? How can that be?
(repeat chorus x2)
There's no other way I can fly. It's you and I, you and I. I'll take you so high,
where you've never been. I'll drop you then catch you.
I'll consume you, burn right through you.
I'll inflame you devastate you.
I'll destroy you then kiss you whole.
I love you, I hate you.

Keepsake
Angels know everything
so as sure as gravity
the little plastic fellow
who pooped on our wedding cake
must have realised
how things would pan out
All these years
she'd coddled him faithfully
cocooned in white muslin
safe in her bottom drawer
just waiting
for his date with the bin
until landfill
the final resting place
after the divorce
So if you ever see a gull
with a halo
at least you'll know
there's no use dreaming
about love eternal
or the lie
of for better or for worse

One of its causes... lol
When Delilah Knocks -
What do you do when Delilah knocks ?
At your front gate, she waits
and she is not what God swore she was.
Dressed in your Levis, a younger
smaller pair, you stare at this little girl ...
She's just a girl, just a girl.
You look for his locks of hair
in her tiny hand. That you might
understand, this cut of sin
committed in a moment of blind sight.
NO ! That is her sin. What then is his ?
His is the omission of you...
Once a girl, just a girl.
Delilah cries, and this pillar falls.
Faith dies. God is a myth, God is a myth
and Sampson tells lies to his wife.
Biblical burns in the grounds of a life.
as you invite the concubine in for coffee.
What would you do if
Delilah knocked on your door ?
