If Only For A Minute

I saw you just

Sitting there

All alone

And looking scared

So I thought

I’d offer

A kind word or two

In the hope

You might stop

Feeling so blue


A Forgone Conclusion

It’s
very
nice of
you to
be kind

But
please,
don’t
pay me
any mind

For
I am
now
a cause
that’s
lost

As
onto
the
pyre my
heart’s
been
tossed

“Winner… By A Knockout”

How funny it was to read this

It’s almost prophetic in a way

As I hadn’t actually bumped into her

When I wrote this back in the day

This was actually what I hoped I’d do

If such a meeting ever arose

How I wouldn’t even acknowledge her

If we were to be up close

I had no real way of knowing

If I was capable of such a thing

As I might’ve just ran and hid

From the sight of her shit eating grin

But as it is I needn’t have worried

As I saw her just last week

In the most utterly random encounter

That you could ever wish seek

And I did, indeed, just saunter by

Leaving her mealy mouth struck dumb

Whereas I walked away both victorious

And comfortably numb


Getting Better At Caring Less

I walked
past you
today

And didn’t
even turn
my head

I just
quietly
sauntered
by

And felt
nothing
for you
instead

Coquetry

Alhough we’ve never spoken

It’s still my daily treat

To remember that emotion

As our eyes shyly meet


After All

You
were
here
last
time

I
clearly
remember
your
smile

Perhaps
leaving
the
house
today

Might
yet
prove
to be
worthwhile

That’s A Promise

If we are out

In the dead of night

And by chance

Our eyes should meet

What happens next

Will not be short

And it certainly

Won’t be sweet

The Long Hello

I walked past your house

Every day

But never knocked the door

—–

I watched as you passed

Every day

And always hoped for more

Quickstep

Run around

Jump up and down

There’s a new love in town!

He’s really neat

And ever so sweet

This black heart skips a beat

I think that now

I’m ready for more

I want him to whisk me

Across the dancefloor

Story Books

Read
to me
some
more

She
said

I
swoon
to the
sound
of your
voice

Tell
me
what
you
want
to
hear

He
said

You
know
it’s
always
your
choice

Love’s Young Dream

Dance,
you
fools,
dance
away
from
me

I’ve
seen
all
the
romance
I need
to
see

I
know
only
too
well
how
this
shit
ends

Give
it a
year
and
you
won’t
even be
friends

To My Heart

If
only
I
could
make
you
see

That
it is
you
who
keeps
the
key

Oh
how
much
fun
it
could
be

Finding
ways
to
make
us
both
happy

Coffee Dates

We
should
do this
more
often

She
said

You
really
are so
sweet

I
love
it when
you
soften

He
said

It
makes
me feel
complete
