Do you see into the poet’s soul?
Your stare puts me on edge.
I’m sat before you naked;
you write on my blank page.
I saw you, I know you,
and it took me by surprise.
I really didn’t think that,
you’d see into this poet’s eyes.

Please don’t be nice to me,
I don’t think I would cope,
I’d burst into tears,
and lose all my hope.
I’m back of the queue,
I’ve placed myself there,
I won’t move forward,
with my tunic of hair.
Throw me some praise,
and I’ll colour up puce,
I’ll duck and I’ll dive,
and it’s really no use.
I have my own mantra,
of make do and mend,
keep calm and get on,
I’m so good at pretend.

You feel it in her gut
she never frets
deep mahogany throat
as you gently squeeze
your fingers around
her long slender neck
lasciviously relishing
her undulating back
feeling her taught
resistance to mastery
drawing back and forth
in self absorbed passion
playing out your fantasy
your will, your thrill
as the concerto peaks
at crescendo

Holograph clouds
hang in a
blue riband sky
splintered memories
scudding fly
clear cobalt mind
troubled by
those left behind
cogitating
precipitating
Indian summers
that never come
loves lived and lost
but never won
twilight transcends
stargazing nights
Juliet’s blight
heartbreak
crowns
the
air
