-
You who laugh at poetry and shy from anarchy,
claiming logic while lurking in shadows...
-
...and, I shiver as
I watch the last leaf fall...
-
What else do you expect to find
Within this mortal heart and mind...
-
..break me down with the slightest touch,
and leave me leant upon a crutch...
-
.
A little 5-minute test, that basically...
-
White feathers, whisky and the sound of heaven,
Bluebirds, silk and cheap perfume...
-
-
Somewhere-
buried deep...
-
Looking at my favourite photograph
your image pressed between sepia and glass...
-
You are told this is how a young man
finds honor, that to die for one's country...
-
If the azure glow of the ocean
is summers' own liquid crest...
-
How could such beauty,
Grow amid such pain...
-
As I am rinsing off my face
tears are floating down the drain...
