Rose Entangled

I want to laugh hysterically
when water colour flowers surround the gypsy,
shades streaking through her hair.  
I’m no good at saying at how I feel 

Let’s just forget the world.  

I want to make you feel beautiful.
It doesn’t have to be love.
We could just be in the moment,
the rose entangled garden of restless disgrace. 

We could just be ourselves. 

I want to dance in the rain fanatically free
watching dreams of old remnants trickle
down the gutter. We don’t need the past.
There is only right now. 

Words don’t say quite how it feels. 

I want to do everything.
Maybe we’ll be something more, maybe it’s
just for now, but it’s like a spellbound enchantment
in those dawn lit eyes. I am drawn. 

Let’s waste time.  

I want to forget everything that’s happened.
No matter what we’ve been told, there’s a charm
like a locket around her neck. I don’t know how or where,
what or why, it confuses me like it does you. 

We could pretend nothing else exists.  

I want to explore the gypsy’s perfect garden,  
the watercolour flowers in my hair, the tie dye
petals in your hands. There’s a light in your eyes and
it’s something so unbeknown to me. 

But it bursts into life when dreams trickle away.

 I want to simply take your hand.
There’s a moment when you know you don’t
want to spend eternity alone.
I don’t want to spend this life alone.

Let’s hide in her gardens tonight.

Dear little sis,

it's as if two voices are speaking here, very well done if it was intended that way (my money's on it being intentional). Please do remove the second at in l.4, which bugs me a little as a line... I think it's the saying that doesn't sit snug with me. Let's see... I’m no good at telling you how I feel (would that be an alternative?) Otherwise, I dig this piece and its carpe diem feel. (Saving another star for revisions...) Yours, ~Nina P.S. How many days to go?

Hey big sis

Thanks a bunch, will revise that little bit. What two voices?? Completely didn't realize that, to be honest. I'm sure that line could be a good alternative, though, will relook. Thanks for pointing it out. Peace~~~~~~ PS- 1 day to move, 3 and a bit til the date, and 5 til school starts!!!!!!!!!!

Just reading your work, I love this write. I love the part which goes; I want to make you feel beautiful. It doesn’t have to be love. We could just be in the moment, That is powerful! You work packs a punch. Chris
