Dust Print
Dust Print
By popular demand! After years of requests and lovely people telling me they have used it at their weddings, I have finally teamed up with the dreamy Medley Design Studio to create four stunning prints of my poem Dust! Available both as the full text and a standalone line - in both a dark blue and a classy cream - with a discount for a matching set. Edited down slightly to fit/remove a niche snorkelling reference, Full version available in my book Unashamed.
A3 Unframed print - Printed on 100% recycled and FSC paper in Leeds UK.
Full text reads:
It’s not the flowers,
It’s the weeding in the mud with you.
It’s not the champagne,
It’s the cuppa in that favourite mug you use.
It’s not the chocolate -
Okay yes it is, but not just one or two,
it is becoming Bruce Bogtrotter
and Augustus Gloop.
It’s voting frozen pizza
over fancy grub with you.
Because some nights,
nothing can beat
a slice of comfort food.
It’s knowing anything I eat
will include some for you.
Because you’re not hungry
But you might just have a couple spoons.
It’s not the dreaming,
it’s the waking up with you.
I want to be here long enough
to gather dust with you.
For us love isn’t in the air,
that is just where we found it.
All this is built upon
what we have done
to ground it.
It’s not the spark when we first met,
it is the lifetime built around it.
It’s by small amounts
that mounds
amount to
mountains
I need not justify, adjust,
or fear I’m judged by you.
Such is the glorious consistency
of loving you.
My heart’s not skipped a beat
it just constantly thuds for you.
Such is the everyday magnificence
of loving you
It’s not something we fell into
so much as stumbled through.
It’s the spectacular normality
of loving you
It’s not the dreaming
it’s the waking up with you
I want to be here long enough
to gather dust.
