So and therefore
So and thus
I reveal the shadows behind the us



I have so far lived
I have so far loved
I have though failed to go beyond
The rules of love - unobtained



The therefores and the thus’
I am here, as thus
As this
In tatters



Walk with me
Down my lanes
Though dark they seem
Light will shine



Light will be our guide cordially
Ashone upon yer face:



…



Aargh!, the witch, the witch
A wee shy lassie sits
Abeigh as tho’ in hiding
Dinky dimpled & brown dribbled
Bonny enough for mah eye, aye!



I awaken and I see
My errors
Scott I is not
Though forever grateful --



For your trust

I get worried
Worried when people, some people
Yes that could be you!
Apparently begin to digest
My words
My words as written in solitude
In the silence of a single soul
In the silence of one, waiting
I get worried when people
Begin to engage,
When they take me for a ride
Unfunny,
When my words fall flat



Unwittingly

I cover my lips with your
Cork-fruit flavour,
The lingering of death
Between our pale palpitations,
We stand and we fall as
The wee beings we are,
Becoming less with each
Breath we draw,
With each hope discarded,
With every undressing,
With every scabrous shave of
Lingering you die and
We move on in unison,
Faces covered and



Shivering

Fair daughter face my fears 
fair daughter hear your words 
your words through my ears 
my fears as I interpret you 
as I suspect your intentions 
your insinuations play on my strings 
untuned harmonies --
the dissonance of us

I wash my plate unstained
a fierce force of fresh water hits my face
the trickle down my leg a flashback of other times
of an outside world without howlings
of a world free of wolves
