A wee visit
I am in this building
waiting for you
come and see me
I have been here
since the collection
began
I am in a jar
my body is crushed
into a small gallery
I have flipper feet
but I cannot swim anywhere
I am trapped
I am a part of my brother
whose head looks
at you too
I am older than him
more
beautiful
Will you come
and see me please?
I am alive
Come to Surgeons' Hall
for a visit
say hello with girlfriend or wife
A day out in the sun
an ice cream...
waiting for you

With
Gone are the ribbons of gold,
the water wheels with some dancing fish flying south,
the times of summer love kissing women as if touching slow moving clouds,
gone so as to let new grasses bud
encouraging deep smells of lavender with
garlics placed by the fresh flowing streams,
the rivers,
flowing through loves shimmering salty sunlights
the water wheels with some dancing fish flying south,
the times of summer love kissing women as if touching slow moving clouds,
gone so as to let new grasses bud
encouraging deep smells of lavender with
garlics placed by the fresh flowing streams,
the rivers,
flowing through loves shimmering salty sunlights

The streets
Shine again
my love,
no dark places
on our way
across the city
our friends
are busy
not expectant
we walk
together laughing
each step
warms us
-our eyes closed
full-
love's music
filling
passing
chances
all in
tonights
dark
light
my love,
no dark places
on our way
across the city
our friends
are busy
not expectant
we walk
together laughing
each step
warms us
-our eyes closed
full-
love's music
filling
passing

Light
On a bench
in the sun
we kissed
each other
i remember
you and me
kissing
in love
a spring morning
peaceful and light
-fresh full senses
feeling amazing-
restrained desires
our respect,
knowing,
intense
our release has come running on air
through
flowing
through
white shimmering
light
melting, moulding
us
in the sun
we kissed
each other
i remember
you and me
kissing
in love
a spring morning
peaceful and light
-fresh full senses
feeling amazing-
restrained desires
our respect,
knowing,
intense
our release has come running on air
through
flowing
through
white shimmering
light
melting, moulding
us

MISCELLANEOUS POEM

Roots
I dug up some of them
the jaggy root bowls
from the earth
a dozen or so,
the fire
now embers
piles of small smoking sticks
needed turning,
I launched
individually the bowls
onto the fire,
some missed
some didn't miss
landing
a top,
it doesn't matter
if they
the bowls
catch light
they might
but it doesn't matter,
I looked at my bloody bare arms
& thought of war,
blood from where the thorns had cut me
not sure why I thought of war
I just did
the jaggy root bowls
from the earth
a dozen or so,
the fire
now embers
piles of small smoking sticks
needed turning,
I launched
individually the bowls
onto the fire,
some missed
some didn't miss
landing
a top,
it doesn't matter
if they
the bowls
catch light
they might
but it doesn't matter,
I looked at my bloody bare arms
& thought of war,
blood from where the thorns had cut me
not sure why I thought of war
I just did

Thank you
From one side of the door
to another
appears a long way,
this difference met in holding keys
& not saying no to passing through,
with thanks heart felt
for all three,
if I can only open my eyes
to another
appears a long way,
this difference met in holding keys
& not saying no to passing through,
with thanks heart felt
for all three,
if I can only open my eyes

Dad
Don't die
give me a chance to hold you
don't go
It's too lonely a walk
away
I sit with you and I know
you love me
and
I love you
Pleasedon't go father
I am not ready
I need to care for you,
please don't kill yourself
give me a chance to hold you
don't go
It's too lonely a walk
away
I sit with you and I know
you love me
and
I love you
Pleasedon't go father
I am not ready
I need to care for you,
please don't kill yourself

It is not too late
Imagine the space
hold my hands reach out
from me to you,
to hold on to you
through this time you are in,I am here,
I know this pain is yours
and I know that I am here, reach out
hold these old hands
fall into me,
I can hold us both in this
your pain as my own,
remember why I am here,
you allowing me to reach out
across this space to you,
for you to fall
fall
fall into me
till you are held fast in my arms
where you are safe to cry your heart alive,...
hold my hands reach out
from me to you,
to hold on to you
through this time you are in,I am here,
I know this pain is yours
and I know that I am here, reach out
hold these old hands
fall into me,
I can hold us both in this
your pain as my own,
remember why I am here,
you allowing me to reach out
across this space to you,
for you to fall
fall
fall into me
till you are held fast in my arms
where you are safe to cry your heart alive,...

Shoulder
I see him standing
on that same rock
that bluddy rock
what use is it?
it's always there for
someone
someone to just
stand on it
waiting for them
to stand
be waiting a while
furrit
rock
aye
on that same rock
that bluddy rock
what use is it?
it's always there for
someone
someone to just
stand on it
waiting for them
to stand
be waiting a while
furrit
rock
aye

Experience
I'm spending
my time away
from you
&
doing what
I do,
yet in moments
my heart draws my
thoughts to your life,
the one of your own
&
I know
even though I am not
there
that
I wish I were,
in
what ever you do
to be closer to you
to
be
there
with you x
my time away
from you
&
doing what
I do,
yet in moments
my heart draws my
thoughts to your life,
the one of your own
&
I know
even though I am not
there
that
I wish I were,
in
what ever you do
to be closer to you
to
be
there
