Mysterious Waters
he came from a dark place
he came with a load
life on his etched face
his sorrow below
Parties
well I went to your parties
and the wine tasted good
but the walks home were lonely
feeling misunderstood
In My Corner
it's like waking up to a blue sky
these minor victories that sustain me
a kind word that reassures
or the outstretched arm
Lined in Chalk
you may talk
and all your words
may run around my head
you're lined in chalk
Barely Just
I face annihilation
before I fall asleep
I feel the firm formation
of oceans wide and deep
Round the Bend
another summer's nearly finished
what's been is gone yet won't diminish
as old familiar school approaches
a highway set in stone encroaches
On Gnomes and Biscuit Tins
sometimes I have wondered
what is she doing
buying this and that
do we really need two garden gnomes
One Mistake
when I'm alone and with my thoughts
I think of one mistake I ought
to not have made but yet I made
that puts the rest into the shade
Changing Range
life has changed
I've been estranged
from trivial pursuit
it's goodbye now
The Silent Song
keep your tongue lest cold winds blow
the bottom rung is where you'll go
if you tangle with your foe
jingle jangle to and fro
