Just
In the rain I can feel
my skin, wet
&
your breath through the air,
I wait for the clouds
as they pass to the mountains
clearing an avenue for the sun
to kiss my wet skin,
the breeze flows around
down from the mountain tops
moving these wild grasses
drying my body, my hairs,
I lift my head & neck
I squint with my eyes to
see if my float has vanished
and rest back down again,
'tears all over the pavements'
the hedges cut
so the railways stand
revealed &
alone,
having...
my skin, wet
&
your breath through the air,
I wait for the clouds
as they pass to the mountains
clearing an avenue for the sun

the breeze flows around

drying my body, my hairs,
I lift my head & neck
I squint with my eyes to
see if my float has vanished
and rest back down again,

Drop with me my love
What am I trying to hide
from you,
and then
why?
you know
me
more than
you know,
mixtures of gods and ego's
'yes'
I say to my gods as they lower down to listen
and you...
stood still in your lonely eyes reply
'yes'
as your gods lower down and listen &
just before the fall
we touch
from you,
and then
why?
you know
me
more than
you know,
mixtures of gods and ego's
'yes'
I say to my gods as they lower down to listen
and you...
stood still in your lonely eyes reply
'yes'
as your gods lower down and listen &
just before the fall
we touch

Untitled
Sometimes I think beyond me,
atonement,
revelation,
then I feel
occasionally
an unexplainable love,
friendship, happiness, harmony,
you watch our time pass
as if
time were us,
and yet
this shallow reddish glow
shimmers through
our lives,
fragile in its way
flowing within those rivers
enjoying eternity

Gift
No where near the mountain top
but
somewhere
we are now,
you look at me
the view
feeling a breeze follow
blowing pasts away,
I have my hands hidden
in my pockets
resting
my toes moving around in my socks,
In my hand
I hold a stone
given
by you to me,
Ages ago
it helped me then
and it helps me now
such an old, simple gift
but
somewhere
we are now,
you look at me
the view
feeling a breeze follow
blowing pasts away,
I have my hands hidden
in my pockets
resting
my toes moving around in my socks,
In my hand
I hold a stone
given
by you to me,
Ages ago
it helped me then
and it helps me now
such an old, simple gift

I love you Bea xx
This time I grabbed the handle
I opened the door
to the garden
& stepped into the bright sunlight,
In this garden
our garden
I was greated by another person saying
welcome, it's good to see you
not sure if I had been here before
I realised that this question
didn't matter anymore
for I was here now,
Today I am here
in our garden
by an action of stepping in
to
the light of our fragile sun,
Oh! and the breeze
this gentle wind
...

tripe
in the glorious
rain,
given the sights we saw together
just before the distance
removed us from our visions
of love,
like a burst baw
our relationship floated in the canal
slowly bobbing one way and the other
without direction,
thinking on it
I have no recollection
where the ball came from in the first place
do you I wonder?
anyhow and
not to worry
we go
onto a new pitch without one
rain,
given the sights we saw together
just before the distance
removed us from our visions
of love,
like a burst baw
our relationship floated in the canal
slowly bobbing one way and the other
without direction,
thinking on it
I have no recollection
where the ball came from in the first place
do you I wonder?

A church wedding
Sitting on a memorial bench
in the drizzle I watched a
Scottish wedding party file
out of a church
everyone seemed happy
the bills had been
paid in advance
I wondered where
the money would go
make its way to the
bank somehow
I thought about our common
law married status
and knew it was free
but uncommon
I thought if all the money
used for church weddings
was used to gain legal rights
for common law recognition
our children would be better off
in the drizzle I watched a
Scottish wedding party file
out of a church
everyone seemed happy
the bills had been
paid in advance
I wondered where

emmmmmmmmmmm
signs
.
words
.
wonders
.
wanderers
.
talking the Basque tongue
priests developing their arts
*
a good ear-wigging
settling the evening
down
sleepy children
watching the workers
the alcoholic
watching the children
alone
a drifting of clocks
resting in peace
waiting for our time
waiting

Fix
sometimes
there's a newspaper
left on the table
in the paper
is the days racing
if I look
at it
I end up gambling
which usually means
losing money
money is money
the main loss
is my serenity
if I gamble
I am consumed
by greed
a need to win
to be right
I search for control
if I win I
feel justified
and right if I
lose I feel
angry
at the
sense of
loss frustrated,
angry,
tense
it's not worth it win
or lose and
yet I do
