Move Over, Wednesday

You’re hardly the life and soul

They said

Even with a drink you’re glum

You don’t know the half of it

She said

I didn’t even want to come


Sanctuary

Never more than when

I’m in a room full of people

Do I feel most the alone

All I want to do is beat

A slow and steady retreat

And find my sanctuary at home

The Urgent Sea Of Life

There’s something about

The rush of the waves

Those echoing sounds

From beyond the caves

This feels like home

To me

That sheer expanse

Of glass like water

As I stand here shaking

In awe before her

I know when I wade in

I’ll be free


Happy Place

Take me back

To the sea

For it is where

I need to be

But don’t think because

I’ve emptied my pockets

That will be

Enough to stop it

For in the end

It will just be me

Sinking down

Into the depths of the sea

The Lochaber Traverse

I gave away

Your boots today

To a charity shop

For next time I know

I’ll be walking alone

All along that rugged hilltop


Gone For Good

What I have lost

Can’t be replaced

For our footsteps

Can’t be retraced

Wasting Time

If only I was sure

He thought

That she feels the same way

I just wish he’d ask

She said

To her friend, later, that day


Admissions

Looking
at you

Looking
at me

When will
we tire

Of this
malarkey
