I Need Someone

In this world full of hurt and pain, I need someone who would help me through the rain. To comfort me when I'm sad, Doing everything just to make me glad. Love's a curious thing, It often comes disguised. Look at love the wrong way, It goes unrecognised. The sun is setting on a lonely day The colours are splitting, the perfect way Your strolling home as you see this too And I watch from a window thinking of you The bright colours shine from within my heart The colours of a sunset, a special part Of a day in my life I wish you could see Just what it's like, just to be me.

"Pigs" by Les Murray

Us all on sore cement was we. Not warmed then with glares. Not glutting mush under that pole the lightning's tied to. No farrow-shit in milk to make us randy. Us back in cool god-shit. We ate crisp. We nosed up good rank in the tunnelled bush. Us all fuckers then. And Big, huh? Tusked the balls-biting dog and gutsed him wet. Us shoved down the soft cement of rivers. Us snored the earth hollow,

I LOVE YOU, MISS YOU, NEED YOU

I love you more than all the stars in the sky. I love you more as each moment passes us by. I love you more with every breath I take. I love you more with each promise we make. I need you like a flower needs the rain. I need you for you can wash away my pain. I need you more each day I need you for you are so wonderful, in every single way. I miss you more than ever now. I miss you because I really need you somehow. I miss you and your touch. I miss you for to me, you mean so much. I want you to caress my lips the way you always do. I want you to look into my eyes and see my love for you. I want you to hold me close to your heart. I want you to know that I love you, need you, miss you, and want you And I have for every single moment, right from the start. Author: Emily 

I Love You Even More

I promise to hold you in my heart Forever, as long as I live Never forget the way you smile Nor the love you give. So energetic and full of life That's how we were when we were young We were so happy there together Laughing under the sun. When you left I was so sad Emotions flooded my days Tears constantly pouring down But I covered the pain in so many ways. Even now your not here How can I bare to go on? By remembering the promise I made And how the distance makes our love strong. All I do is wait for when you return To feel your hand in mine I will be patient No matter how long the time. Never leave my life Or I'll be stripped to my core Because I miss you every single day And I love you even more.   Author: Anna Paul  

I hear you singing in the next room by Helen Rickerby

I hear you singing in the next room It is more than not being alone We cook together and eat from blue bowls Sometimes I am the wise one sometimes you The night we met, we both kissed the same boy You write �I love you� in the condensation on the window I lead you into luxury and indolence We walk to the zoo and promise the animals

No time like the '80s/ No future by Airini Beautrais

from Dear Neil Roberts In 1989, my dad gets knocked off his motorbike. He gets a court summons, to testify against the driver. Because she is brown, and my dad has decided the justice system is racist, he rips up the summons. (A few weeks earlier, a housebreaker (brown) who happened to be a father of six, was shot dead by a neighbour (white) who was let off). Dad rips up his summons on the
