On Henrietta Street
The children howl, the house is hell
you close your eyes to cast that spell
Rising high above the endless squabbles
to meet me down upon those sodden cobbles
The rain and fog are gently taunting
your white shirt billows, opaque and haunting
On Henrietta Street…
Two hundred stairs, do I descend
with full-beam smile to my treasured friend
These precious moments, we get to steal

An Eyelash Breadth Between Us
Lit monochrome by the moon
we dance across silver sands
The waves scrawl

Conducted by my pulsing heart
This fool, who thinks he has control

Buried Within…
The invisible truth and
The voiceless words
Both are pertinent …still today
There was no escape route
