I'm in love

I’m in love… with skies heavy with stars, with the warm breeze in Spring, with the first dive in a cold pool
With a thousand strolls along creek beds
With a thousand dripping ice cream cones
With a thousand adventures, like trips back to childhood

I’m in love… with stilettos and trenchcoats, with arthouse theatres, with the city’s skyline
With a thousand brownstone townhouses
With a thousand aeroplane disembarkments
With a thousand dreams of tomorrows

I’m in love… with Rupert Everett, with Ewan Macgregor, with Andrew Denton
With a thousand British accents
With a thousand chivalrous door openings
With a thousand inquiring minds

I’m in love… with creased pajamas, with brushing fingers, with shared forever
With a thousand in-jokes
With a thousand sideways glances
With a thousand hopes for Whoever

I’m in love with the future, in love with life, in love with love

You should write poetrymore often... this one is all dreamy and magical-like You always communicate your thoughts so well... Keep up the good work!

I've been thinking for a while that I might write and post some poety or song lyrics but I've always found some random excuse not to.

I actually met Andrew Denton at a book signing, he is even smaller the you expect. I 'm a big fan. When I talked to him I said meant to say that I seen him in everything he'd done since blah blah blah...but I said Backchat instead. So Denton probably thinks I thought he was Tim Bowden the whole time, how embarassing.
