Two poems (Rimmer/Lister)

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

I've been too exhausted to write lately, but these poems just happened. I'm not one of nature's poets, but smaych (who is a proper poet) told me they were OK to share. So here they are. They're Rimmer/Lister, and quite PG, both of them.



This is the Ocean

This is the ocean
Black as sea,
and you and me
floating together
Endlessly

This is the desert,
cold and grey
nowhere to stray
living together
every day

This is a lifetime
yours and mine
so grand, so fine
rotting together
in decline

This is forever
on and on
it weighs a ton
wrapped around me
all alone

This is the ocean
far away
come here, come play
white suit on horseback
Stay



Fiji

Cool air
brushing against my cheek
White water,
waves, the foam like
flocks of sheep

Disgusting

I sigh, closing my eyes
against the breeze
and feel the
warmth
between my legs;
warm, pulsing animal heat

I shiver
and don't turn my head

avoiding the sunshine
clear sky

and you

your icon makes me LAWL HARD! I had to take a break from messing with my computer just to stop lawling and wipe the tears from my eyes.

Lovely. I like the second one in particular.

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Thank you - that's my favorite too. :)

These are simply lovely. The first one is my favorite, for some reason, I always found the ocean a perfect metaphor for the space and situation between them, maybe because of the undertow and unpredictability of it all, despite how much of it you think you know. (in fact, I couldn't stop listening to music that had a sort of 'undertow' while writing 'static' awhile back)

I think what I'm trying to say is that you write these poems (lyrics for a guitar lacking certain strings, perhaps?) as well as Lister imagines he writes XD

You know, that struck me too. The first one, certainly. I was trying to write the second one, and the first one spilled out instead. Pure Lister.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed them!
