POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write a lot of procedural stuff for work, I知 here to expand on my creative side and to be inspired by others.
Isolate
Lockdown. Stay home, no
Social contact, no human
Touch. Basic needs lost.

Lonely Fool
I知 not like them
I知 just alone
No one to hold
No one to call
I lay here alone
Alone and unhappy
Alone and unhappy
I see them smile
Argue and row
Playing the roles
That people do
But I知 just alone
Alone and unhappy
Alone and unhappy
I sit here and scream
Shame runs through
Weep for the day
The day I lost you
Cos I知 just alone
Alone and unhappy
Alone and unhappy
Our time was done
Nowhere to go
Love ran its course
Then left with you ...
I知 just alone

Alone and unhappy

That people do
But I知 just alone
Alone and unhappy
Alone and unhappy
I sit here and scream
Shame runs through
Weep for the day
The day I lost you
Cos I知 just alone
Alone and unhappy
Alone and unhappy
Our time was done
Nowhere to go
Love ran its course
Then left with you ...

Without You
Everything is frightening
All around is lightening
I am lost without you
Where does my heart go
On a night so low
Lost from sight of you
Never been so lonely
Feeling like a phoney
Laying here waiting for you
Lost in my mind
No peace can I find
Know what I need to do
Losing my soul
Feeling un-whole
Need to break from you
Nothing left to bind me
You値l never find me
Now I知 free of you
Free of you
Free of you
You値l never find me
I知 free of you
...

The Daily Ritual
Earphones in, music on
Coat at the ready
Should rain come
The beat kicks in
Off I roam
The sun shines down
Autumnal chill surrounds
Clean, sharp air in
The day痴 stress out
The ritual begins
The ascent begins
The beats kick in
Up country lanes
With nature abound
Beauty all around
Familiar strangers I see
A glance, a nod
A simple connection made
Past them I go
Marching to the beat
On I go, step by step
Beat by beat
Pace matches music
All thoughts fall away...

The Day After
Drained of emotion
And Reason. Revelation
Comes with a high price.

So it goes
So it goes. The ebb
And flow of life: ennui, zeal,
Guilt, joy. So it goes.

Safe
How little we know
The struggles of others. Rest
My courageous love
The struggles of others. Rest
My courageous love

Live
Twist the throttle
Release the clutch
Lift the foot
Off I go
A curve approaches
Line of sight shortens
Steer against the bend
Lean round the corner
Straighten up, on we go
Lines through bends
Parabolic dreams
Ebb and flow
The road rises and falls
Smooth but full of holes
Try to stay between the lines
Always between the hedges
Every sense alive
In tune with nature
Living in the moment
A meditative journey
Too soon it痴 over
Back to the mundane
But when...

Platitudes
I think of you like a brother
Let痴 just be friends
You deserve better
I would be poison for you
Nice guys finish last
I知 comfortable with how things are
Life is complicated right now
I just don稚 see you that way
I get that I知 good
Just not bad enough
I deserve someone good
Someone that痴 not you
You try to be nice
Well, usually anyway
But after 30 years of rejection
I致e had enough. I知 away.

Catching a Star
Curious eyes gaze
Predator, ally? His ears
Find me, joyous call

Unbalanced
When you're low, I'm there
For you. When you're better, you
Leave. My foolish heart.
For you. When you're better, you
Leave. My foolish heart.

Choose
I am risk, I am
Reward. How will you decide,
Together, apart?
