NostalgiaThe blind drag of your right leg so smooth,
Your look endowed with knowledge ages old.
It grasped my gaze and shook my mind but sooth-
Ingly it brought me back to tales long told.
We held onto each other's time, until
They separated us: dragged you from me.
So I remained, a tree alone at hill,
And not the wind, nor earth could set me free.
But then dear Fortune, graced with mercy, came.
She robbed my pain and cheered Victoria.
She lit again, with great rejoice, that flame
And fed me with her sweet nostalgia,
A realm wherein I dwelled for far too long,
Till drunken keys brought back your loved song.
recipe for happinessThe lover's eyes,
A pinch of smile,
Daily dosage of butterfly kisses.
A gentle heart,
Beating to the rhythm of mine.
Every now and then,
A single red rose
Would suffice.
And when I'm down
A shoulder to cry on.
What else could I ask for?
When I have your love,
And your promises
For a better day to come?
You are my recipe for happiness.
A Recipe For LoveI add two spoons,
With some little kisses,
Mix it with half a kilo,
Of love letters and poems.
After half an hour,
Of cooking this in a gallon of water,
I've got the bottom,
Of an endless relation.
So I make the middle of it,
By six grams of nice words,
Two pounds of forgotten hate,
And to finish the middle a love song.
And the top is made of three words,
I love you.

A Cold Frame They're like ladies waiting for me,
smiling at the thought of how I would touch them gently in my hands,
and of how I would kiss them, hot, under the sun.
I would use my bare hands to shape their beds into soft cottons of loam soil
–in their cradle I would lay them and smile at them while bearing the
three precious words in my l
everlasting friendship recipeListen, with an open mind,
Speak words of kindness,
Agree to disagree,
Compliment her on her good qualities, boost her confidence,
Tell the truth, it's always better coming from you,
Encourage, enlighten and inspire,
Always expect the ordinary to turn into a cherished memory,
Be prepared to spend hours at a time on the phone,
Offer well thought out advice in a difficult situation,
Support every decision even if you don't agree,
Lend your shoulder to cry on,
Hug her when you know she needs one,
Make her laugh when she feels like crying,
Be there with her favourite movie and junk food when it ends badly,
Laugh off the small stuff,
An Appetite For....
Chapped lips,
airplane grease,
and the smell of your
sweat after you come home,
take off your steel-toe boots,
and jump into a
hot steamy shower.
The mess you make
by throwing clothes here and there,
never in the laundry basket.
Like I haven't told you what
it is for ten thousand times before.
The things you craft
to show me that you love me;
your little inventions that make
my life so perfect, so easy.
The sweet tender words
that caress my stress back
into nothing. The words
that you would never
say with anyone else in the room,
or to anyone else.
The way you look at me
when no one is looking,

My Own VenomMy unknown plan, secrete ingredient,
Making enemies obedient,
Black liquid bottled for myself,
To unleash my hearts burning hell,
Just one sip, it just takes one drop,
For my heart to abruptly stop,
Black in my veins, a pierce in my chest,
Fall to the floor tasting blood and bitterness,
Breathe my last breath and inhale new life,
Vision blurred, is that a knife?
I can't see my hand in front of my face,
It's been so long...hours...or days?
Even weeks would seem plausible,
But suddenly I feel unstoppable,
An energy from a source hidden,
My own fault, I love my poison,
I thought I'd be frightened for this day to come,
When I fou

Invidia becomes herDear Conscience,
She went to the city yesterday, on her own might I add. A concept that she didn't really like to begin with. She never did like shopping on her own; it was supposed to be a girly thing to do with friends.
But alas, she got the 1pm train to the big gritty smoke and eventually found herself in the homely surroundings of a small book store with a café inside.
This place was like a second home to her Conscience, it was glorious.
She defines a home as somewhere you can snuggle up and feel comfortable in your own company. This place does that for her. It is a recipe for happiness:
