Black and white

If you see the world
In black and white
Honey, I’d be the roaring twenties
And we’d drink gin all night

You’re like a classic novel
Hemingway or Fitzgerald
Paint me like Picasso
When you’re drunk and absurd

I’ve always loved vintage
Cause the wine is fine
I’m a sucker for jazz
The way that you keep time
You're not quite Cole Porter
But I don't mind

You’re like a classic novel
Hemingway or Fitzgerald
Paint me like Picasso
When you’re drunk and absurd

Honey I don’t need
To go back in time
Cause with a soul like yours
This era’s fine

Darcy (Prose by poetry)

You might be Heathcliff
To my Elizabeth
Because a hero I, need not
If you choose to impress through lies and duress
You’re surely, not the man  I thought


I am not a romantic
When you stand in the rain
You can be pedantic
But please don’t refrain
From your recitations of poetry
If I could rewrite
This story you'd see


For Mr. Wickham
I can see clearly through
Have I told not
All of my truths to you
If you could forgive me
For being quite uncouth
I’d leave my homestead
And walk days to you

I am not a romantic
When you stand in the rain
You can be pedantic
But please don’t refrain
From your recitations of poetry
If I could rewrite 
This story you'd see

You might be angry
And feeling betrayed, but
This is not a war to be fought
If you can forgive me
I’ll try to make you see
That you’re the romantic I want

Your good opinions
Have surely been lost
I made snap judgments
Not knowing the cost
If you can forgive me
Then please tell me so
But if you cannot 
Away I will go
