Poetry Critical 2.0

Hey guys, Donald here.

In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.

But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

Black And White.
crushedsmile

You tell me I'm so white I could pass for snow,
 1
You love me soft and let me go,
 2
Wishful thinking has got me far,
 3
Now I know your my lucky star,
 4
 
 
(Chorus)
 5
We can run away,
 6
Things dont have to be black and white,
 7
We can live in the the grey,
 8
Kiss me hard and hold me tight,
 9
i need you still so say you'll stay the night,
 10
 
 
cross my heart and hope to die,
 11
you say you love me dear,
 12
Ill never ask why,
 13
kiss my neck your intentions are clear,
 14
i think of soft kisses and soft skin i almost cry,
 15
 
 
Im ashamed not to show,
 16
im more afraid to tell,
 17
so we'll keep this our secret,
 18
if u can think it i can dream it,
 19
 
 
(Chorus)
 20
We can run away,
 21
Things dont have to be black and white,
 22
We can live in the the grey,
 23
Kiss me hard and hold me tight,
 24
i need you still so say you'll stay,
 25
We can run away,
 26
Things dont have to be black and white,
 27
We can live in the the grey,
 28
Kiss me hard and hold me tight,
 29
i need you still so say you'll stay the night,
 30
we can run away,
 31
we can run away,
 32
we can run away,
 33
we can run away,
 34
we can run....
 35
