Six Words – 22/Jan/20
Went missing, went back. Wrong track.
Apostrophes… don’t you just love’em
You see a line
wish you had it in you.
See a way to use until
you try then realise
not stand alone
but of the lines that follow.
Another’s words
theirs’s not yours’s
confused, for sure
in apostrophe trouble.

If she’s real he’s close too
Ever Close
She edged his dull
he lit her dark
distant ever close
Invitation – Poem and a line
An invitation
as if a you and me
messages deleted
unread, unsent
words unspoken
only heard in head
declined yet believing
unseen to be seen
re-read, an annoucement
rsvp… rest in peace
*
His loss… that someone still unknown
Stakes – Poem and a line
Demons dig expose fears
deep-rooted in her past
systemic as if xylem bleed
maddening male logic
not met up frustrated still
stakes resisted pressure
cried out loud he only asked
what’s wrong with her and him?
*
She liked fencing… he’d no boundaries
Let Breathe – Six words into verse
Young hearts fragile as old bones
Catch her cold she goes viral
Born to see days like tomorrow
Wait a moment and it’s gone
No escape tied up in dreams
His will to keep her near
Her hand quite ordinary till held
The gift of his life hers
Reality no place in this fantasy
Smile at the ludicrousness of stars
Take away the madness let breathe
Be still let yourself go now
Promises – Poem and a line
He a man untied
to time or anything
beyond accepted promises
She his curved ball
provokes imagination
believes she can be his
Conscience slips and slides
everyday more blind
to all he’ll leave behind
As he sleeps he stares
sees her in his darkness
light rolls back their years
Love beyond words
felt though unheard
their promises unbroken
…..
He remembers, she too… will always
