    There was a moment; that second when you… In that beat my fear turned to brightness, my resolve gave way to keening. You cut the brake lines. You sent me shooting through space. I was a willing sucker. I wanted it. I sang for the rushing of blood. I begged for the horses to be…

    It is though, at any moment, my secret will come hurtling out of me. The veneer I wear, the various masks I don to get through the day – they are cracked beyond repairing. When you stand next to me I have to hold my breath, bite my tongue until it bleeds. And you don’t…

    Someone lit a match, brought a flame to life. Was it you? Tell me how to interpret this, for I have lost my reason. It vanished in your proximity. Those eyes, that mouth. The curve of you. God, I can still smell you – I stole these atoms from your breath and scurried off. And…

    You won’t read this so I won’t lie. This is love without hooks, without points of order. But what becomes of love when it’s dammed? Does it pour through cracks?

    Because of you – all of this. I know – ridiculous. I shudder when I hear myself think it but here I am saying it out loud. All for you. Previous reasons – they were vanity. Ego seeking itself. Now that I love you the whole world is transformed – and beauty is the temple…

    It started with a fire. A fire in my heart. And all my smart tricks turned to ash. I thought I was the king of everything – and then there was you – beautiful, beautiful angel. And now I am breathless. Now I am a feather on the breeze. Now I am the dancer –…

    How could I have known that my ten o’clock would turn out to be you. I had no defences deployed – no armour against eyes. Nothing could have prepared me for your gorgeous mouth, the curve of your shoulders, the hint of freshly showered skin. Now I’m butterflies. Or perhaps I’m just an overly optimistic…

    The afternoon light at this time of year – it is the colour of your splendour. Like rattling up the hill in the old train, waiting outside for your flatmate to leave. Sneaking in. Springtime on the back porch. You right there. Me scarcely able to believe it. Every year the flowers make me sneeze.…
