Chris
.

Darkness once again greets me
staring in through the windows
Morning still sleeps silently,
dreaming of the dawn
My coffee keeps me company
as I wait for my sunrise...

Not on the eastern horizon,
an orange glow shimmering
through the distant tree line,
but the one in my heart
that shines each day
when I hear from you again
Thank you for reading
Born unto this world



With opaque angelic eyes.



Crystalline soft air, you breathed,



Vibrating with life, as strings on a harp.



And in tinkling laughter and claps of hands,



Like a firefly you lit up the world.



In pure reflective light you shined,



As if a cluster of stars had been placed



Around you, and the world had



Magically conjured, your luminosity.



You were only a little sparrow.



Who was learning how to fly,



With the gentlest spirit and kindest eyes,



But you were all too human, a blazing candle,



Which this bitter, hard rock planet



Crumpled underfoot, and you melted,



Leaving, weeping waterfalls and stone



And the unchanging shadow of your smile.

Gaffer
Do you think we’re emotionally compatible.
What crackpot class have you joined now.
I'm taking a holistic course.
Why don’t you go and have an affair, you’ll feel better.
No, listen, I want inside your mind.
You don’t, take my word for it.
Soon I’ll be able to heal your body and mind.
Have you ever thought about counselling.
I'm just searching for myself.
Just wish you’d hurry up.
Why don’t you come with me, I've already mentioned you to the teacher.
Oh no you don't, history teacher, history class, coming back to you.
That’s why I need to get into your mind.
Have you ever thought that maybe I'm the sanest person on the planet.
Yes I used to until that time we got lost and you refused to ask for directions.
I didn't need directions
Were you afraid the guy would laugh at you
No that had nothing to do with it
Because you can't read a map
No silly, he said his name was Nelson
Did that upset you, was that it
Did you learn nothing in that history class
Well, not map reading
He only had one eye
Who only had one eye
Admiral Nelson
And that upset you
Jesus woman, nobody upset me, he couldn’t give me directions cos he only had one eye
How does that stop him from giving directions
What, isn't it obvious
Not to me
He can’t reverse a car can he
What’s stopping him
The blind spot stupid
Oh my god, and I wanted inside your mind, you’re a hundred percent crackers
Well you sure as hell don’t want to go out with a guy who’s crackers
You’re **** right I don’t, consider yourself history
Thank god for that, hate long term relationships, three weeks, how did I cope.
You killed her.
You may not realize
what you've done.
You may not've killed
her physically, but emotionally
she's gone.
