“IN UNREQUITED LOVE”

Unrequited love

The second love

From child

For the reciprocation

Of loveless.

Loving all the time

From Mother & Father.

Take your time

Catch the moon

Between finger and thumb.

Eat the light from the stars.

As the Sun shines down.

It is OK. To be excited.

It is OK. To be great.

Create a World

Of boys & girls

In love

With Mum and Dad.

Dad always gets the blame.

So, gently child.

Love him too.

Like me and you.

I love you

Child

I love you

Child

I love you too

They, say.

Too much love.

Never enough.

In unrequited love.

“DIVING”

There is respite in remorse.

Only scaly tithing.

Carried me away

To the beauty of the seahorse.

These mountains under water

Could not be any deeper.

I control myself.

I tithe for the swelling

Of the tide.

I surf home

And take my catch.

To the nearest barbeque.

And wrap my fish in foil.

I sit by the embers

That will still swathe

Tomorrow on the open sand,

Like parts of my heart

Darting the sharks.

And swordfish,

But only in investigation

Can I bring myself

To stop the vesicate

Disease that rules me,

To open my heart

And sing against the prey

Of another day.

Diving.

“HEART”

The heart sinks my child

As the urban realm stagnates.

Covered in cloth of stained scruff

The Midas touch in watching shoes.

Look up to the blue yonder.

The skeletal fractal

Frailty in age

Of an old one,

To compare the mountains of Mars.

We walk with passion in our guide.

Through the efficacy of

A stunted ride home,

Jesu beats our drum

Ready for history from the

Cold/Warm statutory clause.

Clause 1/ To ice up.

Clause 2/ To warm down.

In this vast ice age of dryness.

We see our sibling’s clatter.

At the blood flow beheld by giants.

You little one

Run on

In racing clause.

“PATIENCE”

How can I show I have patience

When at times I have none.

How can I settle down when

Everyone is mobbing me.

How can I take care when

I do not understand the outcome.

How can I be less passive when

I am not instructed to care for me.

How can I ever survive this World,

When I shake and shake and shake.

What is the solution?

To a heart that wants to grow.

Is it Rock’n’roll to be the Boss?

Do I make a sad self-fulfilling prophecy?

Because I am unheard by the doctors.

Ancient practice never changes.

It is time to go.
