innocence – overruled

there is a difficulty within,
preventing true friendship
blossoming. It is mine though
I take no responsibility for
conceiving or the nurture of
said difficulty. The genetics
being as they are, could be
factored times ten minus the
baby pram, winter bound.
Blameless, nameless as
the passing of time rules
that ignorance of fools is
just that – overruled

no more

reality is fading
into a misty background
my London covered in
a fog so bleak
the rolling hills of green is
fading
my hope of living long is
dying
a tuppence bounce is
ending

humming

pleasing for the sake of
pleasure, raping for the sake of
rapture, the innocence bleeding
dry while we stand aside –
humming

the last song

lemon makes lemonade
stained pants
soiled souls
we could have had it all
but you chose none
lame duck no luck
lime aid – portrait
wishing
no one sang
the last song
in tune – breathless

R&R

Two out six remained
your steel guitar still bled
screams of passion
fuseless amp
my heart longing
once again
