Remember that the most miserable man in the world smiles and tells everyone he's okay.

Write it in blue.
Endeavour, endure, entrust.
No pockets left unturned.
Lend to another what you have stolen from me.
Tell the ferryman, you wrote your will in blue.
David Murphy May 2016
Maliciously trying to divide the attention of the men so occupied with their own affairs.
Dressed in a silhouette, she knew it wouldn't be long,
Before she'd remove her grawlix,
To antagonise and ostracise the fool in her jungle.

He didn't seem to mind though.
David Murphy May 2016
To coax emotion and entice desire
To exaggerate feeling, exhaust and tire
Of twisted roots and seamless truths
That split at the end to love and offend.
Silence the burden,
Smile and pretend.
David Murphy May 2016
Breathing heavily under the vindicating bandana,
Skipping steps over the rain soaked grey.
Partners in an ecstasy of divilment,
Their paths plait through the crowd to the meeting place.
The adrenaline only can last for so long.
