Relinquish

Your hands on the wheels
My eyes slowly closed
Sat by your side

The aroma of warm rapeseed
Hits me in the instant
That we judder to a standstill

How then to let the eyes close again
Unable to trust my own instincts
Unsure of future cloudless skies

Inevitable Decay

The teenage boys have gone
The girls soon followed on
All that the parents can say
The young fathers are away too

All thats left here, in this place
Are the wasted-today cobwebs
Of King Coal’s once fortune zoo

Swollen

In that time
To fall for the fallen
Thus stolen our life
Simmered with fear

Fallen for the fallen
All pain forsaken
With the final chance
Unable to reappear

No Need To Ask

One morning
Any one morning
Even this one
Where the damp air
Does not dampen the spirit

& why should that not be
After a dream of such 
Gentle physical love
Shared without need
Gifts with pleasure given
