In my impossible imagination

I fall in love with you,

Though my outer self

Says we'll never meet.

My inner self

Knows that isn't true.

For we are love.

He's hunched over

Eating

In his khaki green  jacket

Tomatoes and toast

Scrambled egg,

In his jacket

He looks all intense.

Yet

Supping his tea

He leans back in his chair

Crosses his legs

Like he hasn't a care

Like an Oxford professor

Then, like a fabled confessor

His lips start to chatter,

I'm quite startled at first

Maybe, something's the matter

Then he's back to his toast

And tomatoes and eggs

His demeanour quite harsh,

He uncrosses his legs

And returns to his complicated breakfast.

'To the Ending of the Storm'

When finally ceased

The howling of the winds

We heard birdsong.

Still waters

And clear blue skies.

Like a simile of a metaphor .

Peace in our time.

Declare not war,

Summoning storm clouds

But twitter and tweet in clear blue skies.

Be calm

And listen

To the ending of the storm.

And sing together .

Thank you, sorry

Sorry

Sorry

'Scuse me, sorry

My fault, thank you, sorry

Sorry

Sorry

Sorry

Thank you

Sorry

Sorry

Sorry

Fuck you!

Sorry.

This is our time:

"SAVIOURS"

Look.

In the distance of my eyes

Lies hope

Deep and real

Tears shed

For the dead

Revived in legends

As we stride the earth

Saving the living.

A child smiles

Through dripping eyes

And stained face.

The simple truth

Take my hand.

Take my faith.

Look life in the eye

And advance.

Undaunted

We progress.

Beyond their expectations.

Rebuilding truth

Returning hope.

The saviours of the nations.

It's a lazy label

For those unable

To mount a counter challenge.

Like Snowflake, Woke and Loony Leftard.

They can't redress the balance. So they shout names and use labels

To drown out arguments.

And labels stick.

Sneers replace thoughts.

That's all it is.

I'm currently in day 8 of isolation. I stood on my step at dusk and was inspired to write this.

It's optimistic not mournful, I hope.

Trigger warning. ... mention of death.

"Thoughts in Isolation"

Is this what it's like?

Being dead?

The world carries on

Not missing a beat

Barely noticing.

I stand at my door

Observing.

Nobody notices I'm gone

After day one.

Of course, they carry on

As I have often done.

It's eerie

Standing here

Watching the world turn without me

And puts me in my place.

I hope I don't die

But if I do, it's comforting to know

It won't matter much.

I smiled at you.

It’s always my first reaction.

Trusting.

Innocent.

Stupid.

In response, you rushed at me, pushing me back; clawing at my shirt; tearing it open; scratching.

Like the world does.

Your urgent kiss pushed me against the wall. Your tongue invaded my mouth.

Internally gasping, I responded; weak; powerless; shocked and excited.

Taken by surprise as usual.

Innocence overwhelmed by passion.

Immediately.

I kissed you back, pushing my excited body to yours. You felt my response and gasped at my desire.

I tore off your dress and threw you to the bed. My own clothes seemed to disappear in a whirl of motion and I was naked on you.

Biting my shoulder, neck, nipples, you pulled me down. Our eyes flashed as I entered you.

In minutes it was over.

You lay gasping and shocked; shocked at the intensity; shocked at the rapid response; shocked at what lies behind my smile.

Like the world is.

You should have just smiled back.

But the damage is done.

For I am Scorpio.

To Don’t List

· Don’t think that others

Are better than you

Because they

Are more confident.

· Don’t be the one

Who always gives in,

Doing favours for people

Who do nothing for you.

· Don’t put yourself under pressure

Because others have unreasonable expectations,

Making you feel guilty

For not meeting them.

· Don’t put up

With people who don’t respect you

Or abuse you

In word or deed.

· Don’t hide your emotions

Behind painted smiles

And pleasant words

Masking what you feel.

· Don’t be the one

Saving everyone else

With no-one to turn to

And not saving yourself.

· Don’t sacrifice your life

Don’t waste your time

And don’t forget

How good you are

And don’t forget

To always be you.

Don’t.

Slightly cheating, but it is a list :)
