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...

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...

SPIRITUAL POWER OF A WOMAN
It's me again the story teller of words ✍️ I would like to take a moment of your time, to give my own utmost respect to all the women's of the world. 🌎 For sure if it wasn't for a strong 💪woman there wouldn't be a strong man. THAT is willing to stand and fight as a strong man. Building a strong relationship with a strong, foundation of steel and stones. 🪨 THAT together they shall always stand side by side. For sure I give them the upmost honor with respect, for if wasn't for a woman we as men could not even EXIST....

Does it ever really end?
I'm not going to say i don't miss you,
Everything's subject to change.
And I know now that you didn't trust me,
So I have carried that every day.
Mm mm hmm.
Everything back then was so blissful,
Too bad i was going insane.
And i shouldn't have made it an issue,
But i wanted some help with the pain.
(Help me)
If you move on thats fine enough to me.
(Move on)
But I've held on these rights and wrongs.
Its not easy being around me,
I break like some film in the rain.
Fools say depression is healing,
Depression was...
Everything's subject to change.
And I know now that you didn't trust me,

My Dearest Cosmonaut,
How could I hate you?
You are morning fog and early sunsets,
Empathetic and real.
You’re the only person who I feel if I rested a hand on your shoulder,
I wouldn’t fall through.
You are warm and soft,
Shivering in the cold air.
I ache to be near you,
Sweltering cores pressed together.
You are so talented,
You’re the first rays of sun that peek through my windows.
I’d hate to change a thing about you,
Spending hours cataloging your endearing quirks and captivating features.
I am taller than...
You are morning fog and early sunsets,
Empathetic and real.
You’re the only person who I feel if I rested a hand on your shoulder,
I wouldn’t fall through.
You are warm and soft,
Shivering in the cold air.
I ache to be near you,
Sweltering cores pressed together.
You are so talented,
You’re the first rays of sun that peek through my windows.
I’d hate to change a thing about you,
Spending hours cataloging your endearing quirks and captivating features.
I am taller than...

Checking In
Hey, how's it going?
I thought I'd check in
You may have turned your back
But I'm still your best friend
This search for the light
Hows all of that been?
Thats a rhetorical question
No need to pretend
You're feeling worse than before
I know, cuz im you
Bumbling around aimless
You don't know what to do
At first I was pissed off
Ill admit that it's true
If you love something let it go
Sometimes that works with hate too
You could never beat me
In truth I just backed away
Cuz I...

Letter to a writer Part V
I see you got my letter. I got yours.
I want to apologise for some misunderstanding. You have never made me feel like a bug in a jar. (Okay, maybe once, during a fight, and you held a lighter to my insanity, but that's not what I meant when I wrote you last).
You... you make me feel like a whole person. Sometimes I wonder if you're the only one who really knows me. And I think maybe you do, in the way you do, in the way our history binds us.
But I'm also not invisible anymore, not like I was when I met you, and I'm surrounded by more love now than I...

secrets to be guilty of
I want to call you
even though we only talked
yesterday
But I don't want to say
what's on my mind
I don't want to find
where your judgement limit begins
because once I start spilling secrets
I don't know where they'll end
And all I can think about
between my self-created drama
is how your husband
looked me up
to get the dirt on you
so many years ago
a few months
before he left you
and made me promise
to keep our conversations
a secret
And I did
because I...
even though we only talked

But I don't want to say

Letter to a writer Part IV (repost)
I know you remember everything. I still remember our starting point, and how easily you became my muse. I sometimes wonder what it's like to be a muse, how it must feel to be the art, and not the artist.
But then again, we both know I take all your pretty words for lies, and you can't even compliment my eyes without me wanting to hide my face. You have this way of seeing through me, and I like to pretend I have a good poker face, when the truth is you know all my tells.
Do you remember the time you almost saw me naked? Cause my boyfriend still does, and it's a strange...

WAKING UP TO ANOTHER RAVEN POEM (3-7-2001; Galveston Island, Texas)
still asleep
i sensed his close
silent stare
i heard his comforting
steadily rumbling inner
purr r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
as i felt his fine
double coated manx fur
on his warm
loving paw pad
gently touching my shoulder
then the rough dry lick
of his sandpaper tongue s
sweet tender cat kiss
upon my lower lip
to let me know he was there
so delicately trying to wake me
i slowly awaken
whereupon first opening my eyes
I looked up
into his close up loving gaze
only four inches...

Recapturing
Christmas has passed,
and the new year approaches.
I encroach upon you
with a belated text.
The pretext is the weather
to remind you
of everything we have been through.
The snow was our serenity.
Snowflakes fall, and I
want you to know that I walk
for blocks in the symphony
of the busy streets alone.
I have a bittersweet
but upbeat feeling reading your reply.
You have established roots
where it does not snow.
Still, I hope the fruits of your labor
are savored and receive water from the oasis.
I...
