LOL Another poem :L

So I was at the park today with Jess and she was writing her creative and her plot helped me produce a poem. And yeah, this poem is yet another product of not wanting to do my studying :L Yeah, it's a tiny little ode to Florence too. So enjoy! :) Oh, and it's called 'Strangeness and Charm'.

Trembling heartbeat and a quivering lip,
She found herself so far away from home.
Each stone was of a different kind,
And each street whispered strangeness and time.
In alley ways of melancholy,
She dreamt plastic-bag dreams and held street-light ceremonials
For each sunset veiled by the winter glaze.
Loneliness threaded through each hole in her mind,
And each frosted breath left like everything else in her life.

And yet, in tweed and leather shoes, there was him.
She had no idea who he was, but there was this warmth.
Like a blanket, she wanted to wind herself inside of him.
Like the beauty of the twilight’s pain,
With each and every snowflake he had caught her, and yet
With each and every snowflake thereafter, he was gone.

There was this link, this rope, that she clutched onto when he was a round,
And with that link came safety and charm.
And it was as if with each step he took, he left a lily behind,
And with each lily she picked up,
Her trembling heartbeat grew steadier and louder.
And it was when her heartbeat was the calmest and yet the loudest-
That was when she found herself at home.

Each arm a wall and his words a door to an unseen world.
A world of curtains that kept out the cold,
And a bed that could hold their stories and their time.
And yet his loveliest feature
Was the fireplace that blazed in his heart.
And it was here she found a home.
It was here, she found happiness.

LOL, yeah. Pretty impractical metaphorical house. What with only having two walls :L
