So far away

Now you are far,so far away,
The longest night,
The shortest winter day,
will be places where I might die.
The heart’s interior, no-one else
Can view.
When you are lost,
I cannot find your face…
Its outline on the pillows,
My fingers shaped to trace…
The new design,
the stellar rhyme,
Where have you gone?
You slipped from out my arms.
You slipped away.
Was night or day
Ever cut by such a narrow line?
In your embrace I lay.
You seemed so strong,
Yet,sighing, took the path away.
I can’t see where
Is it night? Or is it day?
I tried to write to bring me light,
It’s dark, and still.
I long for you to come.
Oh,will we ever quite
Find out our way?
Or is that an illusion?
As we stagger through
the wandering furrows
in the fields
They shoot us down.
What is this confusion?
The war goes on
The world goes round
The mirror gapes
at each new clown.
But in a crack,
a seed may grow.
I can’t see where,
But yet,it’s so.

He left his life where so much might have grown.
The aspirin bottle and the tumbler thrown.

Undercover

I was waiting for him in the church
But alas he left me in the lurch
He’d met a rich woman..
She saw him coming
Before he kicked her into touch.

She was the best person I never met
As she kept  wandering men as her pets.
And I met my  new lover
At night undercover.
I didn’t want mal a la tete

I’d like to eat lots of thick grease

The doctor worked as hard as he could
But he couldn’t treat folk as he knew he should
So he put plugs his ears
and ignored our fears,
He just mopped up the tears and the blood.

Statins make folk act real mean
And more road accidents are later seen
So go for long walks
Admire flowers and their stalks..
Then go home and eat lots of beans.

Happiness makes our hearts whole
If to the inner we submit our souls.
I do not mean pleasure
But working with leisure.
Set your own guide by the pole.

The night sky can lend us some peace
As we gaze up and tensions release.
We are microscopic
Yet ,quite off the topic,
I’d love to eat lots of thick grease
