Mind the gaps.

There are no happy ever afters,

just some gaps between the tears,

with houses packed unto their rafters

in which you can forget your fears

surrounded by those who love you

and perhaps by those that you love too.

I do hope your gaps are many; 

And that your tears are singularly few

for while our tears are two-a-penny

such gaps are quite pricele...

I will gladly be your beacon,
or equally the hand you hold 
in the moments just before the dawn 
you fear will never come.

It’s in those moments 

That make us smile whilst crying

We find poetry.

I'll watch the ports at your back
guard against cyber-attack
I swear by my serial key that's no fake!
Even with my mode set to stressed,
by my code, I'm impressed
to find how feature-rich a brother, you might make.

Of the man who maintained 

That women should refrain

From applying their make-up on a moving train.

I ask where is your brain?

And how dare you complain?

And does your arrogance stem from a taste for cocaine?

You’re archaic forsooth

Sickening #metoo my back tooth 

So yeah, you’re about to get burnt by the fire in this booth.

You claim that she’s uncouth

You’re not a writer yet, 

until your work is more than just some poems.

You’re not a writer yet, 

so don’t forget you must keeping going.

You’re not a writer yet 

because you ‘might’ by the writing bug have been bitten.

You’re not a writer yet,

if getting it right, means more than getting it written.
