Best Friends Smoke a Joint in an Alley Outside a Club in the Next Town Over
I don’t know that smoke,” I said and turned
my face away from hazy,
lazy eyes
that spoke with swirling blue,
shameless lust –
a guise I know when we
are on our own.
I watch the cherry
glow from mouth to mouth,
the unfamiliar night
creeps in and I
don’t know the smoke
he’s blowing out tonight.
She don’t know that smoke,
he seeps into the dark.
She gets shy,
his smolder hands are slick
with heat. I cut confusion
eyes to his.
He’d never touched, ...

And then, suddenly, someone said Shakespeare has died
old long since
sadness are the shore shingles
which will never drown,
we watched our school friends die together
How many women took us up the stairs
to touch to feel to caress,
our webbed fingers never made us Superman
there was always Lex Luthor, dredged in black
metaphorical chains gallow’ed upon neck
Well, not quite
Indigo in eyes of his children
north by northwest, or north by fucking anywhere
are rainbow’ed hues of the future
and I know (I know) rainbows are such a poetic cliché.

Intentionally
I walked in,
down
the
stairs.
And without falling, I said,
"I'm going away now,
I'll finish this
conversation
with myself later."

we are immortal
It's my best friend's birthday
and I sent her a text
saying
"happy I'm-glad-you're-not-dead day"
because her Peter Pan complex
demands I not remind her
that every year she's getting older
And her inner child might be
eternally switched on
but she somehow does adulting
better than me
though we both wish
we could just say "fuck it all"
and run off to Neverland
where responsibilities go to die
and imagination is free to rule
Her complex...

Secrets - The Lost Friend
They say I muttered two words when I got back to the estate car park on the Bank Holiday Monday: Vince Macarthur.
I'd arrived without my most prized possession: my bike. You hadn't returned at all. And I'd lied, hadn't I? Told your mum we were going to the local park but sneaked off to Whaley Hill. Everyone was worried because they knew I wouldn't have left my bike on Whaley Hill or abandoned you.
They say your mum became hysterical, especially when she realised I'd lied. Neighbours drove to Whaley Hill, but friends prevented your mum from going. It's a good job they...

Night Of Love
On Valentine's night,
where words of love overflow,
I want to speak of a truer love,
the one that fills my heart without measure.
It's not the love of flowers and verses,
nor the love of letters and whispers,
but the love that beats in my chest,
the one that makes me feel alive and connected.
It's the love of my mother, who gave me life,
and the love of my friends, who make me feel complete.
It's the love that doesn't need words,
just a glance, a hug, a gesture.
It's the love that makes me feel at home,
when...

THE RING
Perfect gift for a special one
Not at random for just ANY ONE
An indestructible expression
of eternal ascension
Fitting for loved ones, lovers or between friends
Band of eternal circle with neither flaw nor end.
Round and round – no corners to turn
Infinite lessons, yet, still left to learn
As all within the circle closer become
Venturing hidden corners still to come
Hearts all beat and join as one.
Perfect expression of an infinite love

January
January lingers, cold and slow
I wonder how you are, where the streets go.
do the days treat you kind?
I wish I could walk with you, leave no step behind.

The Space Between
She's always been something special.
Someone who always had the right words,
the right touch,
the right look,
the right everything for every occasion.
Growing up together,
we were friends before we ever knew what relationships were about.
We laughed before we knew what heartbreak
felt like.
Shared secrets before we understood
their weight.
She's my anchor,
a constant in a world forever changing.
They say a man can't have a woman for a best friend.
They,
whoever they are, ...
Someone who always had the right words,
the right touch,
the right look,
the right everything for every occasion.
Growing up together,

Discombobulated Heart
When I did not know no pain.
Life looked rosy, the future the same.
Now my heart is discombobulated.
Esp when someone Mentions your name.
Pain returns again & again.
Future looks bleak, black dog like!
Time slows to a trickle.
As light fades away.
I need space of time & distance.
Patience calm & confidence.
Till time speeds up again.
Times I've seen you.
Listened to your say.
Ok I'#ve had my say too.
I'm left confused.
As to what was actually said.
Do you find that's when others.
Talk about me...

Secrets - Kerry
Can't you get a taxi?' Mel says when I phone to tell her that I'm too drunk to drive home.
'It will cost a bit,' I say.
'A few pounds.'
'I just feel I should sort this business out with Gordon while I have the chance.'
'Fine. Well, have a nice evening with your friend.'
She hangs up on me. Definitely cross. I join Gordon in the pub again. He's sitting with a large group of twenty-somethings, professional looking people, in the main room, talking about the gym. The receptionist with the henna coloured hair is there, playing...

Did I Ever Really Know You?
I've been trying bestie...
to understand the changes in you.
You can't look me in eye!
I don't know...what i can do!
I've caught you in a terrible lie
Is our friendship...going to die?
Is it that man...tell me sister...
what has he done to you?
I used to read you like a book.
Every crook and every hook...
We used to think the very same...
Sometimes joy sometimes rage!
I knew every single page...but...
You cut me off
You cut me out
You cut my heart in two!
Did I ever really know you?
...
to understand the changes in you.
You can't look me in eye!
I don't know...what i can do!
I've caught you in a terrible lie
Is our friendship...going to die?
Is it that man...tell me sister...
what has he done to you?
I used to read you like a book.

Sometimes joy sometimes rage!

You cut me out
You cut my heart in two!
