Blue Moon

45) Meli Mélo

In the shadow of veiled hearts,

flutters high in anticipation, she smiles

(we all smile back)

did you ever know someone

with a smile which was simply radiant?

honey bears are gorging on a springtime in their dreams far away in hills of sleep

I like egg yolks, runny and orange gold and full cream milk,

I love marmalade on toast and blue grey rainclouds next to a soaked sun,

radiant, she smiles (did you ever see a smile as radiant as hers?)

I like the smell of pine and honeysuckle,

I love cinnamon and nutmeg and the spice cupboard.

her smile dazzles, venus love.

I like walking barefoot on a winter's morning on the patio,

and I like conservatories because they remind me of sunny sofas

and lazy afternoons in summer when I was little.

her smile blinds, venus traps hearts

I like jewels and expensive things because sometimes I'm materialistic.

I like jelly and custard and a proper cup of English tea.

(I don't really know what I'm doing now.)
