The Topography Of Wellington, by Jennifer Compton

A SINGLE ROSE OF LOVE

A Single rose of love A Single rose of devotion A Single wish upon my lips A Single thought of you A Single desire to be granted A Single moment of careless bliss A Single love never to be broken A Single rose for one last kiss.

The Harbour

Look out on the water see what I see. The water, it seperates us. Makes our two worlds So entirely different. We see, and smell different things. But the one thing we do see is each other across the water. But just because our worlds are different doesn't mean we aren't the same. I love you, near or far. I wish that the water would just disappear bringing us together. My head starts spinning with ideas. I wish I could be with you.

What Heartbreak Felt Like, by Annabel Hawkins

Every time I look into your eyes, I'm lost in innumerable memories, Thus forgetting the world behind me. I wouldn't expect anything much, Than just being the Apple of your eye!

He advised, as we parted, to avoid epiphanies as I would gunfire. His phrase for ordering a Schnapps was 'to dim the lights'. The sentiment of goodly things The birds are back at the feeder now the

"Tourist�Limerick" by Libby Hart

. The cry of a gull from God-knows-where And the church bells And the cars forever passing And the girl screaming at the stopped car And the horns tooting And the girl saying: That�s crap, that is And the little man in the passenger seat laughing his head off And the lights of Paddy Power, all bright and shiny And the smell of coal-smoke And the cheap hotel room where 1,000 other
