Kilter (Out of)

Country café; frequented by the ladies who lunch

Furrows that are ploughed, hands that are waved

In gestures of accentuated animated conversation

Take your time to settle, I will join you presently

So soon as my time allows, that is if the discordance

Of the interior designs might ever be entertained

Similarly if the less than ambient music doesn't drive me

Beyond the point of distraction, or if the working man

Right outside my window should ever stop hammering

Snatch

A young girl

Young and petit

Snuggles up to me

Takes me gently

Before turning over

In the last dream

Of the morning

I think of you

In the shower

Then I work out

Who the young girl

Might have been

Her soft presence

Gathers importance

Life’s uncertainties magnified on the cusp of daybreak

Distantly, without support of rope or capstan, I write to you

I write to feel; yet what I feel

I still feel seems to be at an unsafe distance

I miss you, you and your timeless telephone conversations

Bright blue sky brings with it the morning

Warmth strokes in, along with the waking

I miss you, echoed the words from your letter

In that instant, I looked through the skeletal trees

How do we get here; where is it that we are we going

However did I find you, why ever did you choose to love me

It is the right time I feel to retreat and cry

For to cry I am told is a sure sign of acceptance

With the tears would I then have accepted:

However close or distant our love, it is never beyond me

Duel

To sit beside you

With sunlight, or rain

At the window

Not to be

On nights away

Summer or winter

That peace waits

For loves return

Is ever welcome

In ones one room

Limited by vista

Negligence rises

To do nought 

Becomes routine

Cold or warm

That doubt waits

In single shadows

Is weight enough

Streetlight

Light of selective blue
Give on
Up Electric Avenue

Give on, clear line to sky
Give on, my we were happy

Light of illusive hue
Give on
Up the road to you
