in black and white film,
living forever in the land of grey.
The greatest love story
ever told.
Reciting poetry to one another
that neither understands,
playing like children in the
wet grass,
stealing kisses amongst ferns.
Weaving love into lovers,
they drive down highways at midnight.
Sleeping together on the backseat,
sharing blankets
and holding hands.
This tale belongs on the silver screen
in black and white film,
living forever in the land of grey.
The greatest love story
ever told.
Sentences scribbled on scraps of paper,
amateur confessions of oh so in love.
Strumming guitars by the fire,
missing his hand
through the songs.
Phosphorous fairytales
brought to cocooned life.
Dreaming silent dreams of forever,
savouring delicious times of day.
Never seeing never.
This tale belongs on the silver screen,
in black and white film,
living forever in the land of grey.
The greatest love story
ever told.
Watching her on film,
after all these years,
she still takes his breath away.
Flawless skin against cool white sheets,
still feels like home to him.
