Oh now.
How the parallels have split and bent to become part of the vastness of what is.
It was a simmer in the heat of the sunlight before the calm of a gentle shower.
That flowers would bloom above the anarchy of all the fallen dew drops beneath the rain.

And when wonder became exact,
to being progress in an assembly line heading towards automation.

The shouts of rebel crowds would bleed in to a sea of heartbroken miseries as wide as the fallen wood.
For here was a simple pleasure.
That could bask in the blink of your eyes alone.
That would shatter at a cold touch from such warm hands.

I know my anger
But it is not the same as yours
How I bleed on the inside
Is the weakness that I must endure
But what of another eye?
Is this the vision which you must purify?
To accept another blow
Is to see beyond the storm that is the sky
To what end is love
And who scoffs at this except justified rage?
What will history record
In a book that begs not for another page?
It is in your hands
What choices were spoken of the means?
The strength to die for love
Was the path he chose for softened dreams

Until
The first lie
The second lie
Then the third lie
I ignored
They continued
Then I was floored
No longer could I absorb
I could not ignore
All of my wondering
The answers came from you
There was more than just a few
Clue after clue
Two wrongs does not make it right
Now I have so much insight
Everything is not alright
In hindsight
Why fight
For what might
I will do my best to be polite
We will no longer unite
No appetite
Never come into my sight

A liar
I
Trusted

Here they come to seek a symbol
of seaside sun - a cruise ship
castaway, beached,rain stained,
landlubbers hamock and griddle.

But first they collapse me and curse me.
Doing it properly should be
part of their curriculum vitae,
a test of nationality.

Then I'm candy flossed, ice creamed, Blackpool
rocked, salted and crisped, generally stuffed,
while they lie back, roast and relax.
Good job it's not a nudist beach.

If by chance
your prayers be answered
ever, could I trouble you;

whilst your palms
be pressed together
and fair is fortune's mood;

could I trouble you to pray
there some time soon will come a day
your need of prayer is gone away,

without appearing rude?
