I used to wear tight pants
now
I just pant and wear
Oxford Bags.

Sometimes
I think that a pair
of plus-fours
would be eight.

but that's me

I suppose as I usually do
that your first childhood has to go
before the second one kicks in,
I'll wait,
so what's new?

Fanciful perhaps,
but we all seem to be living in a time-lapse
or maybe it's just a memory that speeds on its way
through me.

I will not get tired of this,
the happy ending and I mean a happy ending,
but not that happy ending,
this is a message,
not a massage.

a wing and a prayer and
I'm betting you
that you'll buy it,

we know it's *******
and none of us will make it
but
we don't want to end it
and so we carry on.

worn threads and dead ends
peeks into the past,

dimples on your cheeks
and
cascades of waves when you
lifted your head.

Where land meets sea
She'll wait for me.

At times
sometimes
I dream
full to the brim
and swim in your eyes,

at times
sometimes
when
my mind's a blank screen
She,
comes to me in another dream.

Oh ***
u have me being an adult
like it's some form of
an occult
and I've not yet been in
love.

if this dream is
what defines me
dream on.

and we will be one
with the one who finds me.
I hope it is her.

and it was.

it's getting quite biblical out there,
those who pray have this to say,
haha we told you
here comes the rapture

but I'm a bit, Mother Shipton
in that, I keep my eyes on that shady crew
because
who'd ever believe that Jesus would save but a few and leave the rest to stew in their own juices?
