  • Lovesong
    by Ted Hughes
    He loved her and she loved him
    His kisses sucked out her whole past and future or tried to
    He had no other appetite
    She bit him she gnawed him she sucked
    She wanted him complete inside her
    Safe and Sure forever and ever
    Their little cries fluttered into the curtains
    Her eyes wanted nothing to get away
    Her looks nailed down his hands his wrists his elbows
    He gripped her hard so that life
    Should not drag her from that moment
    He wanted all future to cease
    He wanted to topple with his arms round her
    Or everlasting or whatever there was
    Her embrace was an immense press
    To print him into her bones
    His smiles were the garrets of a fairy place
    Where the real world would never come
    Her smiles were spider bites
    So he would lie still till she felt hungry
    His word were occupying armies
    Her laughs were an assasin's attempts
    His looks were bullets daggers of revenge
    Her glances were ghosts in the corner with horrible secrets
    His whispers were whips and jackboots
    Her kisses were lawyers steadily writing
    His caresses were the last hooks of a castaway
    Her love-tricks were the grinding of locks
    And their deep cries crawled over the floors
    Like an animal dragging a great trap
    His promises were the surgeon's gag
    Her promises took the top off his skull
    She would get a brooch made of it
    His vows pulled out all her sinews
    He showed her how to make a love-knot
    At the back of her secret drawer
    Their screams stuck in the wall
    Their heads fell apart into sleep like the two halves
    Of a lopped melon, but love is hard to stop
    In their entwined sleep they exchanged arms and legs
    In their dreams their brains took each other hostage
    In the morning they wore each other's face

    INTENSE: This floored me when I first heard it, You can see his whole body blush as he reads it, I think when Tommy Shelby said in season 5 of peaky's " Call me old fashioned but I think some things should be private." I think Cillian himself is of that mind set which I love, he's just some form of magic almost unreal in a sense as he is just pure and perfect.

    LOVE SONG
    He loved her and she loved him.
    His kisses sucked out her whole past and future or tried to
    He had no other appetite
    She bit him she gnawed him she sucked
    She wanted him complete inside her
    Safe and sure forever and ever
    Their little cries fluttered into the curtains
    Her eyes wanted nothing to get away
    Her looks nailed down his hands his wrists his elbows
    He gripped her hard so that life
    Should not drag her from that moment
    He wanted all future to cease
    He wanted to topple with his arms round her
    Off that moment's brink and into nothing
    Or everlasting or whatever there was
    Her embrace was an immense press
    To print him into her bones
    His smiles were the garrets of a fairy palace
    Where the real world would never come
    Her smiles were spider bites
    So he would lie still till she felt hungry
    His words were occupying armies
    Her laughs were an assassin's attempts
    His looks were bullets daggers of revenge
    His glances were ghosts in the corner with horrible secrets
    His whispers were whips and jackboots
    Her kisses were lawyers steadily writing
    His caresses were the last hooks of a castaway
    Her love-tricks were the grinding of locks
    And their deep cries crawled over the floors
    Like an animal dragging a great trap
    His promises were the surgeon's gag
    Her promises took the top off his skull
    She would get a brooch made of it

    I enjoy poetry from time to time, don't read it as much as I used to, but this is very relaxing. Calming. His voice is so smooth and full of expression. He's really getting to me.. He's nice, he's sweet, intelligent, talented, a loving husband and father, and apparently he seems to enjoy poetry too. He's almost like the perfect man! Haha, he's lovely. x

    When I was young I was surrounded by people who quoted poetry constantly. They are gone. Now it is electric silence and none of them are reading poetry. I like to watch Rumpole. He knows a lot of poems. My German girlfriend used to read Goethe to me when we wee in bed. She is gone with all her blondness, setting like the sun.

I am sad for I fear that these people will grow even rarer to find as my skin grows tough, and my dark hair becomes light with years and the sun
