Hey my wonderful #DavidsMonthOfMusic peeps. I hope the music helped you through that really long January!

I've been meaning to tweak some of these for a while so this is the new and hopefully improved Feb challenges

As always, have fun. Be good to each other. Thank you all!
As someone without Spotify that likes to do a 10 favourite albums at the end of the year I'm gonna also attempt to do a playlist of the year too. I'm already up to 10 songs

that kinda calm

a coral hue

smitten
contentedly so

synaesthesia serenity

sunrise kissing
a canvas of sky

promises
promised

"you're beautiful..."
i said

and i meant
so much more

those sumptuous shades
of your desire

i could be that shadow
you enrobe yourself in
when your fire burns deepest

but i would also be the light
on your #dark days

i would be the warmth
of a thought
of the embrace
i would wrap you in
if you were here
or i were there

backflash
to hearts of different shades

one of which
mattered deeply to me

i'm pretty sure i told you once

knowing me
i told you a few times

leaving me nostalgic
for a certain hue

leaving my reveries
less resplendent

leaving my verse
as this lament

the lingering warmth
of my dream-fingertips
miss the #ache in you
that longs for my caress

my own rhythm
grows discordant
fearing the silence
of your sincerity

my days dull
my inspiration wanes
i feel myself become
a dying echo
of every verse
that never touched you

take my hands
guide them
to fate
and fervour

touch
caressing
all of you
that is sacred

press my fingertip
unabashed
to the crux
of your need

guided rhythms

hips meeting motion

can i feel your fire
darling
coming
hard
all candescence
and crescendo

what callous fates collude
to instill this melancholy

what sequences
of events
consequential
and incidental
leave me here
this lacking

forever a verse away
from the stars forsaking me

of course i miss the storms
of our intent

the delicious tempests
of our desire

and i miss the azure skies
of blissed contentment

the calm
of interlaced fingers

and if course i hope
this grey apathy will pass

the tenebrous light
where i matter less

all the magic
and matter that makes me

soul
and bones

feel you so beautifully
when you are there

feel the absence so deeply
in distance and despair

every part of me
misses you

arcane art

that shift
tectonic

auras finding new shade

something ancient
something primal
that never formed a word

a scent
a notion
a need

embedded

all else is pale
since i felt her flame
