I need you like a speaker needs volume
I need you like a smoker needs to cough soon
so it can look reality face to face
Like a nut needs a case
I need you like a demon needs evil
Like Golden needs retreival
Like a jump over piranha infested water
needs Evil Kenieval
I love you like a chip loves 'n' pin
I love you like scars love skin
I love you like how advertising loves to embed stuff into your brain sooo deeply
you forget which dimension you're in
I love you like a ballet loves yawning
like Public loves warning
Like the saying " Oh my god i cannot believe you woke me at six-thirty"
loves mornings
I miss you Rose misses Mary and Thyme
I miss you like poems miss rhyme
I miss you like clocks miss the old fashioned ones with cogs inside as opposed to these
digital wotsits
I miss you like pit misses cess
like Congress misses Progress
like east misses the one on the left of the compass
I think it is the third simile in each stanza which works best - they are the most original (content AND form), and I especially like the final line.
ReplyDeleteAlso good to see the late Evel K in there too - although little were you to know he died only a few days after you wrote this (spooky eh?)...
Just be careful not to miss out the odd word ("I miss you LIKE Rose..."); just as elsewhere there are words you CAN miss out ("I love you like chip loves pin")
All in all, this is fresh and original stuff - just post it on time next time! :)
