Magnitude

The absurdity of it all

Why is it I cannot I fall

From this orb

The tentacles of gravity

Pull and claw

The presence of reality

Lost in what

A relationship

A tragedy

Of what making

Responsibility

Pure crap!

Alone again naturally

Why don’t I get it

Why can’t they get it?

You,

You are unique dearest friend

And loved

I reach out for you

And ask

Where are you?

Can we pull each to each?

Comfort in company

Relive the foibles

And live the life

Of misunderstood creatures

What a state of what, ends

Bouquet

It was you

While I was lined

Interminable wait

This hot day

There you were

Suddenly

A splash of pastel

In a sea of steel on asphalt

Life in the lifeless

A moment in the breach

Still life 

Stop timed

Around the bend 

Gone yet again

Leit

So, seen any good shows lately

Yah, some

What

There’s this one

Where this man and this woman

They like love each other

But they can’t or they won’t

Cause they like life too much

Together

And then this spell comes

And like I woke up then

Oh Yah

And did you feel something

Just empty

I didn't like to wake up

And well,

Angel wings

You know the wings sound

And the air the wings make

But they scare you don’t they

Oh no

Well they used to

But not any more

I like feel comfortable from them

Cause they take me places

Where I want to go

On my bicycle

Round the earth though I don’t know how I can ride in Africa

Yet

And they give me movies

When I sleep

Good movies and bad too

I do like the old war movies

Honour and horror together

And forgiveness

After the battle is done.

No one ever wins

But we all carry on

And we make it all better

Cause that’s what we do

So

You been to any good funerals lately

The End






                  and nothing?

Medicated

Standing in the fray

Damn this all

The noise, the bustle

The expectations

A performing puppy

Wanting only to belong

The Englishman cocks his rifle

Takes dead aim

Between the eyes

Adversarial determination

Kindness overwhelming

Sees a future

Released to own devices

Awash in the self serving pity

Of best for use

Before knowledge of best before

Dates of the unknown

When does the off begin

Who sets the agenda

Or is it done together

None done in solitary

Confinement self determined

Brake free chained souls

To soar in these clouds

Eyes seeing all

Coupled and apart

Different views of the same

Object

And agree

Unique with devotion for all time

fight

Solute

And suddenly I realize

How much I enjoy my own company

And how much I miss yours

A passion shared

In simple joys

Fallen to matters

Confused in statements

Unknown unworthy the place I hold

Where for did this all go

Travellers on a single path

Parted by this fox

Sly and cunning

A master of deceptive devices

Of misunderstanding

Violent and beautiful

To devour once parted

The gifts so valuable shared

There be no vices here milord

For only human frailty would allow such extravagance

Stand resolute distinguished

One self

Missed in anguish

Banished

Once more

Unforgiven

unable to deal with the world normal

he moves

to

simple

silence
