Matthew Densley Poems

Just for you my precious one
You light my life up like the sun
That lights a pitch black universe
With all the joy that you disburse
...

Let me be your zeitgeist
Let me be your soul and spirit
To stay wherever your heart is
And always to be near it
...

Silently waiting,
And watching,
There's no-one,
And nothing,
...

I wish I had somewhere to go
And somebody to go with me
For what life holds I'll never know
Until it comes and I can see
...

You can show me heaven
You can take me to your cloud
I want to see your paradise
That is if I'm allowed
...

I will walk a million miles
Complete any of your trials
Whatever I will have to do
To prove all of my love for you
...

I only have a picture of you
And it's an image I adore
I've never seen you in the flesh
I've never felt the need before
...

Roses are red and violets are blue
Yet roses and violets mean nothing to you
I'm so love sick and so sick of love
I gave you my heart in return for the flu
...

Through all the years you held me back
Till all my clouds of hope turned black
And rain fell down in perpetual storms
This made it hard to keep on track
...

Like rafts adrift in ice cold water
We seem as cattle marked for slaughter
Tears drip, like blood from butcher's knives
Into the vacuum of our lives
...
