Through his teeth
He lied and cried
Staged it with fright
Should have stayed an actor
Upon a stage
Not in real life.

Just The Edges
I thought I heard you say
I love you.
Startled me, like a minor car crash.
Enough to alter time, for a long moment.
Changing the parameters
of this evening.
I'm pretty sure I heard you.
So my sticks and stones alerted,
to build up the guard around me.
I thought we had agreed
that word was off limits.
Maybe we hadn't made a pact
not to say it.
But that night, months ago
when we were trading rules,
it was one of them brought up.
Heads nodded, and we got past it,
to the next agreement of ...

Drinks, drinks
In the shed there were tools
Enough to be enjoyed by the fool
But he never brought a light
Forever with the ghost had a fight
He should perhaps give up the booze.

Boring
A sunny day at the beach it was supposed to be
But it rained all over her feet
And it was windy.
But it rained all over her feet
And it was windy.

Of some people

Hard (22)
He dreamed of a White Christmas
Went to an office party
Got totally drunk, walked out
Or rather stumbled out
Tripped
Ended up throwing up in the gutter

Memory of hope
Memory's cruel trickery,
Proffers hollow victory.
Lost embers rekindled,
Choking strife dwindled.
In this silent arena,
My heart beats keener.
In bracing sunlight;
A love's lost fight.
Proffers hollow victory.
Lost embers rekindled,
Choking strife dwindled.
In this silent arena,
My heart beats keener.
In bracing sunlight;
A love's lost fight.

Brief encounter
They said hello
Exchanged a few words
Then, no coffee
But an excuse to get away

Just an observation
Some people can be very sociable
Others - not
It's part of the soup we were dealt
With our DNA, I suppose
