Strawberry Fields Whenever

This world is one of strawberry fields in the sunlight, of sheer liquid happiness shooting from the earth, of laying deep in fields of yellow flowers that are taller than my head, of late night diners and dance parties, of sweet hellos and sad goodbyes, afternoons of poetry and naked sunbathing on the roof, of heat shimmering in the morning air and of jam jars filled with coffee; too hot to hold in my naked hand. This world is one of hot dark silence and of constant music, of violin under the stars, of swapping clothes and stealing wine with strangers in the street, of cycling to the beach in the middle of the night with the wind in my soul. Of madness, of gladness, of badness, of sadness, of reckless abandon and of careful consideration, of raccoon babies and white butterflies in cornflower sky, of chalking thoughts into buildings and carving words into skin, of puppy dog kisses and drawing our dreams onto the pavement.

I am too busy with my flowers to believe








you said Is
there anything which
is dead or alive more beautiful
than my body, to have in your fingers
(trembling ever so little)?
                                      Looking into
your eyes Nothing, i said, except the
air of spring smelling of never and forever.


....and through the lattice which moved as
if a hand is touched by a
hand (which
moved as though
fingers touch a girl's
breast,
lightly)
          Do you believe in always,the wind
said to the rain
I am too busy with
my flowers to believe, the rain answered
