Squared Away

Tried so long,
So hard,
To erase those marks,
That river could not wash away,
Alcohol rubs for the pain,
Powders to scour the stain.
Now to find;
Myself trying;

Yearning,
To remember
That kiss of sunlight on outstretched feet
As fingertips brushed back hair from eyes
Two bodies entwine oblivious to all
Gazing deep into each others dreams
Wishing time to freeze, contented eternity…

Beyond Repair

You had to leave
In a stench
Of half spoken words
And a miasma of pain
We’re all moving
On and away
Taking turns
Around another corner
Packing those boxes
Again and again
Locking these doors so firmly
Posting keys, walking away.

Sums

All that I am shall become dust.
I am the sum of my parts.
Parts of me are my words.
Some of these words are out there...
Cyber…

I wonder if there is cyber-dust?

Wishes

This cry for help
Gone too deep
A justice served
By Stanley’s blade

Recurrent

Wake up
Woke up
Lay there cursing
Another day to get through
More hours in this torture
They call life
Wake up
Woke up
Again and again
And again

Against All Odds

As walls were raised
Those doors closed
And silence loomed
As lines were cut
Then it ended
Ended with you
And your lawyer friend

So there you sit
On my chair
In my room
That house
Was once my home
Now yours
All yours
And your lawyer friend

Half of what I earn
You take
All that I have built
You took
The life I gave
You stole
With your lawyer friend

So now I’m broken
Nothing left
No reason
Except you could
You and your lawyer friend

And now no visiting rights
My own child
No longer mine
But yours
Yours and your lawyer friend

Linger

It’s not like I changed
This world
Just left a stain
Swiftly fading with time
So
Take these cold cold hands
And take these old cold feet
Lift me up
And lay me down

If only...

My loaf went stale
So I made some toast
And binned what’s left
Went to the shop
And bought some more
.
My pint mostly drunk
Was warm and flat
So I tipped it away
Went to the bar
And bought some more

.

...life was so simple.
