Opposite me
dark eyes stare
from beneath
half-lidded eyes;
as we sit on the
train, after a
really good night.
The doors close
a bell rings; and
down the corridor,
an old drunk sings.
And I long for my
bed; and, a pillow for
my head.
Don’t fantasize,
or eulogize,
on what
might’ve been.
It was.
It isn’t.
And this is ~
your moment of Now.
Living a life
living a lie;
as they walk
and talk…
amongst the herd:
who wear the suit
and the tie…
from nine to five.
Love
‘twas a moment
of madness …
It was a time
of fun
and pain
sweet sensation
of utter joy;
to the pain
in the gut,
when you find
that she …
has another …
to Love.

this is sad :( it makes me want to cry
Such pain indeed.
Thursday 24th July 2003
She’s poetry in blue jeans
as she works behind the bar...
with eyes of blue, that beguile…
and a bright wide smile; and, dimples too…
her long hair, tied behind her head,
the colour of fallen corn.
It’s busy, as the band begins to play
rock classics, from yesterday.
She unclips her lustrous hair,
shaking it loose; and my pulse quickens…
a moment.
But, there’s a crowd; so I can hardly
hear myself as I ask, “What should I pay?”
~ for such a fine sight, good music,
a beer I enjoy: and ‘just, a really good night.’
