SLIGHT DELAY
The speed of light is considerably faster than the speed of sound
That's just one of nature's great mystique
So when you meet a person who appears to be bright
Wait until they actually speak

SOME DATE | A LITTLE ADVANTAGE | NO ILL WILL | 401-K9 |April 2020 Walpurgisnacht Collage Poem
Overtaken by cyclists heading into sunrise in your dreams
Broke grains on Monday, counting red angels
Drunk on darkness smiling on the shadows
A phone call only a shadow away from your fingertips
We are the survivors stunned, in Stockport
Digging deeper, reflective
Talking to the walls
Church bells toll for every day without a death
We are the poets leaving our words open...

April 2020 Lockdown Collage Poem | March Lockdown Collage Poem |The Free-Spirit
I'm heading out now,
not sure what
time I'll be back.
I might decide
to visit someone who
I haven't seen in a while
Or take a trip
to somewhere
I've never been before.
I'll be back
but I'm not
sure when yet.
I might go walking and
bump into someone
and then
start talking.
We might end up
going for a drink or two.
Who knows what will
happen when I walk
out that door?

Words kept us alive
Words showed affection
Baby, your name was my word
The word 'love' was you
You were my world
But
Your words were hell for me
Unexpected from your mouth
Stung my heart deep
I wish I never heard it
I wish you never uttered it
Your words have made me doubt myself

The Birds are alive Conversing with one another . Their faint little tweets like music its self . When this sound is Recognised . It's a sound of life . A new beginning . With lives lost a new life . A future and hope . For all to forgive . A New life is born . We try to forgive . We have to forgive . Without life . We have no beginning . Within Life we Will Forgive .

Likeness In Modern Art
I'd spent an eternity
constructing my dream home.
Today I began to wonder
who it is suitable for- certainly not me.
A bee, unaware of a way out, finds it by chance.
I began to cross the road...pity me
it's always from the side you're not looking
-the inside-
the speeding truck descends upon you.
Well, here I am waking up
after total oblivion, no problem at all.
No worries...

With a pen in one hand and a diary in the other.

With prints of my curry stained fingers,
And splotches of tea,

And spools of memories,
And streams of ridiculous cravings.

We live by the hands of others
Not seen by you or me
They pass the parcel
Stand at the till

Not seen by you or me
Our hands scrubbed clean and safe
But…
We live by and are grateful to others
Who have to live day by day with that terrible fear
