If Cocteau Twins were a food what would they be? To me Liz strikes me as Lemon Cake....fresh, tangy, light, airy, sweet...the whole effect: chocolate.....yummy
and some really good wine. Below is a poem I wrote a long long time about Liz...yeah I know keep dreaming....
Dream
Yellow and sunbright her blue eyes squint. I smell the damp grass on her hands, feel the sea breath on my face. I long to run my hands rampant on her cool skin. The day is so bright, nothing seems to stop the pale clouded skies ahead. The wind is so serene as it blows right past us on that rocky cliff. I am captured for the moment. The warmth and security reach me. Every hair stands on its end. That smile, those eyes......sigh.......where have I seen them before? I smell No. 8. swirly and pearly. Slice of heaven, light voice, airy and comforted, runs amok in my mind. Chills of freedom rain like blows over my skin. I've tasted her lemon cake lips. Tangy and sweet, swallowed hard in to an etched forever. The thistle and heather ring loudly on my trousers. Waves of panic let me hear the ocean below us. Can't figure which one I like best, the feeling of now, the beautiful scenery or she who stands in from of me. Making grassy angels, there it is again. I feel nothing but pure unadulterated bliss. I breathe in deeply..........she smiles and hugges me. Where have I seen her before? My mind has gone whirly. I want to but I can't; I need to find her again....searching my memories ah, there she is.....but her name escapes me. She comes to me the next thought around and finds my mouth, sweet little bird kisses drinking wine from my lips. "No! I don't want to go! " She cries. Stagnant tears, fiery and paced, drop dews of pearly painful pindrops . She says in a thick accent, "Until tomorrow my love. I will be here waiting for you." I awake and feel empty....one more day.......sigh. Tonight in a smokey room I will find her. Perhaps catch a glimpse of her. Then, she will just be around another corner.

Parsley is the first thing that comes to mind, followed by custard, I see where your coming from on the the lemon reference.

Hmm...I also attempted one about Liz, which started:

The boy stood on the burning deck
And saw the safe dry-dock
The flames ran up his trouser leg
And burned off half his....

But I could never get further than that.

Damn and curse writer's block.

Dagnabbit, Spangers, but that just doesn't rhyme, although it does scan. 5/10 for effort, though.

phil....."cock" is much too obvious......go with something a bit more obscure like stock, clock, or rock!!

You see, we were all bowling along quite nicely until 'Er Ladyship got back and lowered the tone completely. I was actually going to use the word "hock", as sea-going types used to carry cuts of ham as mascots or lucky charms, but Leesa's just destroyed the artistic ambience of it all. OK, I'll have to go for a re-write:

The boy stood on the burning deck
The main mast like a totum
The flames raced up his trouser leg
And badly scorched his....

Hmm...the old writer's block has struck again....

Spangers?

I may forward these to Robin...I can just hear them as Violet Indiana lyrics.

I'm manfully resisting the urge to respond as I know I should, Lees.

D'you know, I'd never have thought of that, Spangers.
OK, as you obviously have a poetic gift I can exploit, maybe you canhelp with this one...I'm really stumped.

The girl stood on the burning deck
The fires raged back and front
A spark flew up the poor girl's dress
And badly singed her....

Go, gal!!

Y'see, I'd have used "punt", which would have made sense with the nautical theme.

You've been mixing it too much with Mrs Beales' daughter...minds like a sewer.

for the record - my mum has a different last name than me phil, but i'll be sure to pass on the message to her! ;)

Stop being so pedantic, Lees, it's unbecoming.

So....your mother's name is....?

As you can see, I've been trying to keep a modicum of decency on the site whilst you've been away, but there's a bit of an undercurrent of filth that I've been just unable to contain.

I can't be everywhere at the same time, as God once said.

(If you're reading this and you're from the Atheist Society, please don't rescind my membership...it was just a joke)

oh i've heard all of those jokes already (most of my life in fact)....although i must admit Bridie is one of those "no go" subjects. then again, what right-minded soul wants their parental goddess to become the topic of discussion on a cocteau twins forum? oh the shame of it all.

Leesa

Well, as you, she and I all hail from the same part of the globe, your mother must be like my relations; ruddy-cheeked, hugely-bosomed, long chestnut hair, a winsome, girly laugh, a well-turned, shapely ankle and a twinkle in the eye that says "Come and get me, big boy"....and some of the women are like that too.
