Forever...
They say that change is a part of life,
Alright,
If everything were to stay the same,
Forever,
I will be bored out of life,
But there are always some things,
That I want,
For eternity,
Like my love for chocolates, maybe,
Or my stupid childish desires and wishes,
Gazing at stars all night,
Or feeling the warmth of sun,
On me, as I let my imaginations run wild,

Post Diary Blues
This melancholy fug
burrows into my bones
After delving back again
into those memories recounted
with such forensic clarity
Comes a cold blue atmosphere
a fragrant longing
and precision-tooled regret
Those searingly stark lines
old faces, wild flames
lost friendships resurrected
I’m dropped back into the thick of things
Drifting through teenage streets
old freedoms, vintage fantasi...

Spirit of Friendship
We were together back in the day
Bumping along so ready to play
You called me up, thought me up, as things got tough
But I’ve always been here to walk your paths
To see you shine, to laugh your laughs
You saw me smiling and did believe
I needed to show you it’s not make believe
This man now with you, can see who’s you
He loves and cares and will always be true
He’ll be ...

Asking For A Friend
Going out to meet a friend
to be the ear to their unspooling
coughing up confusions
unpacking problems
unhappy hour
at some pub table
I’m the calm eyes
the easy conversation
pliers to cut the wire
defuse that complicated
emotional bomb
over a couple of drinks
There’ll be no judgement
only sympathy
a gentle steer
of thoughts towards solutions
or mostly
I’ll just listen
That...

There Was Talk
There was talk of train trips
and long-distance walks.
There was talk of mountains
and open water sports.
There was talk of eating wild
with and without forks.
There was talk of the pub
and stopping for shorts.
There was talk of diary strain
and see after vacations.
There was talk of cash constrain
and deferred decisions.

The Boot
Walking past The Boot tonight
a warm but sunless dusk
The door was open wide
drinkers shuffling and spilling out
I think of that favourite friend
who brought me here five years ago
We played some pool, supped our beer
as he talked of his dilemma
His partner wanted children
but regrettably, he did not
she gave him ultimatums
and he wasn’t sure what to do
When the world stopped for...

FRIENDS.....
All this world,
Is one big stage,
And we star as mere actors,
In its brilliant plays.
Every face, a pretty smile,
But Is it truly what meets the eye?
"We my dear, are best of friends,
Joy, or despair,
I'll be near.
Cotton clouds,
Or coarse sand,
Side by side,
Hand in hand.
One day, at last,
Harsh winds?
They'll have to pass."

wisdom teeth//on purpose
The nurse in green hands me a syringe.
It’s in one of those small plastic bags, you know the ones. They held goldfish crackers when
you were eight years old.
She hands me this syringe and says to rinse after eating
that then I should be good and food won’t get lodged in my holes and I won’t get infections or dry socket.
Watch out with certain foods, she says,
you know, things ...

STRUGGLING THESPIAN
When Faith is bestowed upon one's soul
Life shall never be the same
With a name meaning Gift of God
Then one must live up to his name
We walked through holy grounds
We had a chat a healing chat
Young spiritual Brother
Troubled oh brother of mine
Gentle natured of course knowledge ahead of his time
Archangel first name and middle beloved
Longing to pro...

That
I almost regret to write this poem
for fear it may vanish
flicker away like Evan's flame
scared of the voices
that murmurs that carry its name
across the wind
whispers of That
but it only lives for a little
hiding in plain sight
waiting to be noticed
so it may slip away
one more time
only to be invited back
by the warm, orange glow
of the everlas...

Friendship
A friend of mine once said these words to me:
‘All friends are just a waste of space.’
(I wondered why he was my friend!)
‘They’re unreliable, you see.
They let you down and disappoint
And put your nose right out of joint.
They claim to love, but in the end,
You can’t believe what’s etched upon their face.’
‘Their comradeship is no more than a front.
They all end up...
