Three Words – Compliant, Dream & Therapy

~ EDC Writing/Believing Sight Unseen ~ 4 Comments

Compliant

She played the innocent, compliant,
she would, she will, ‘Be patient’ her
catch phrase, she had him on a line,
her first, ‘You’re here, I’m here, what
are we waiting for,’ he didn’t know,
she didn’t say, ‘One day’ never came.

Dream

Recall, sub-conscious scenes,
their prompt, who knows, an act,
of having lived, years left, far less,
yet still day dream, in mind, in head,
still young, more mellow, accepting,
yes, I, us, we, our, knowing less.

Therapy

Not long out, slipped, back in,
cant be without, can’t be with,
not listening, keep talking, taken in.

Three takes… less than perfect

~ EDC Writing/Believing Sight Unseen ~ 13 Comments

Demure until
the dance floor,
second glass
of fizz, empty
stomach, head
spin, eye blur,
contact, not an
invitation, can’t
see without it in.

He spoke to her,
beyond a first hello,
she smiled at him,
no vanity, wrinkles
showed his face
had lived, his eyes
a kindness, a hint
of mischief, a man
to be seen with, if
only he had hair.

~

Not for the first time
he couldn’t make it last
She wasn’t very happy
said ‘What’s up’ and
‘Is it me’ on both counts
it wasn’t, it was him.

An Age Thing

~ EDC Writing/Believing Sight Unseen ~ 13 Comments

‘Hey, just noticed your earlobes are creased’

‘It’s an age thing, years of hanging on your words’

‘Ha, they’d be longer, not wrinkled like yours’

‘The ins and outs of words, in one ear out the other’

’You’re a cantankerous old bugger’

‘Ah, pierced me with your truth’
