Love
*Love* *Actually* *Is* *All* *Around* *Us*
It's just that
Probably
Fairy tales are just meant to be
Fairy tales
So the Love
We are left with
Is all
Hollow
Carnal
Self-indulgent:
And time stood
S T I L L
Nervous twitchings
Parallel corners of the eye
Freelance extemporised works
Of grandiloquent expressions
Of undying delcarations of love
Pale
In the glory of your golden visage
But all I really really want
Is to puncture you
My dumb donut
And walk away when I have fucked you.
Like Braille
The language
We understand as we feel
When we move
Is subtle
And creeping, like a miasma.
A silent yearning
An intoxicating desire
To drink from the cup of Babylon.
So this is Love.
