Watching You
What I see
In you
Is me
And it's scary
Watching you
Maudlin with drink
Crying
How you've lost everything
And it doesn't
Break my heart
Enough
To change.

Crikey
Appluading
Yesterday's news with glee
The attention seekers
Club together
On the balcony
Above the mourning nation
As the long hearse
Slowly draws away.

Mr Dandelion's Seeds
No one
can catch
the dandelion seeds
from cartwheeling
across the sky
spreading
busy yellow flowers
for children
to thread their hair
and marvel
at spring.

Guests And Mourners
Marriage and funerals
guests and mourners
so interchangeable
the banter and levity
remains the same
as the tired old suits
and dresses
all playing the game.

The Ghost Of Things Past
Erring in haste
Belies
The slow burn
Of regret
That destroyed my past
And left the future
Hanging from the tree
By a thread
Unraveling
A slow burn
Of regret.

Life Is Funny
Even though
I couldn't care less
about those people
how their words
rattle around my brain
in an endless cycle
of torment
when they have
little regard for me.

Dripping Wet
Keep away
if you want
the righteous and the holy
for I have neither virtue
weighing more than a feather
dripping wet
and vices to blow apart
the commandments.

Happy As Larry
I'll have
raisin bread with jam
you want
deviled eggs
on toast
washed down
with copious amounts
of coffee
suitably fortified
we're ready
for the morning crush.

Something There
It's like
you know
knocking on the unlocked door
walking into the empty room
hanging for something there
a sign
not just faith
that we're not
a waste of space.

Selfish Reasons
Yes
I know
for selfish
reasons
but some
I thought
could make
a change
with my heart
in the right place
all the other mistakes
might be forgiven
if not forgotten.
