Dripping

latest tears not necessary

descending like ripe apples

hapless hints of discontent

the dew sunlight dapples

 

I remember when we met

calf with a hint of muscle

smile like morphine drops

amid a mad festive bustle

 

not a gratuitous weeping

eyes dry as desert dunes

she swayed like Salome

irrespective of the tunes

 

veils swathe damp eyes

dismantled all...

Chains In Your Eyes

women always a problem

never knew my own mind

happy to get what I could

you the best I could find

 

chains rattle in your eyes

I'm drowning in your malice

fate led me to your clutches

drink this poisoned chalice

 

you left me black and blue

sub-human and perplexed

wondering where you were

what punch coming next

 

little self-esteem to begin

you turne...

No Tomorrow In Your Eyes

You need hope to see a future

Without that there's only despair

That's the lesson you taught me

When you told me you didn't care

 

There was no tomorrow in your eyes

Only dead ashes from yesterday

There was no tomorrow in your eyes

My future's upped and flown away

 

Our journey's come to to dead end

I'm backed up against a concrete wall

Even now I'm hoping again...

Saddlesore

It seems only yesterday we were fine

How I yearned for the feel of your mouth

Your every touch would set me on fire

Whether north west east or south

 

The sight of smoke on the horizon

Haunts me now when I look back

For it was over yonder hill we flourished

Before my thoughts turned so black

 

That  dark column taunts my tortured eyes

Acrid embers still fly off in ...

Sins Of The Fathers

In those eyes, tears do brim

All a-quiver are your lips

I've done wrong again

The latest of many slips

 

I rack my brains for reasons

Did I omit my morning kiss?

Or fail to hail your daily bloom?

What critical need did I miss?

 

As the baby's due next month

I'm watching my p's and q's

Skating on thin eggshells

Pandering to your mute clues

 

Then it dawn...
