Bench

*Day in

Day out

He sits on his bench

No one goes near him

Because of the stench

****

****

White Lightening

Despair

I watch from my window

It’s really not fair*

 

So … I put on my coat

 

Open the door

Cross over the road

Step up to the fore

I tap him gently

Take his hand

Silently lead him

To my witness stand

As soon as were in

My head’s in a spin

Unsure what to do

 

Please … Give me a clue?

 

He then sits

ME

down

On my threadbare chair

Looks deep in my eyes

So much love

There to share

My lips start to smile

He touches my heart

At last I’ve discovered

My own golden cart

He imparts me with tales

Of a life filled with pain

Not looking for sympathy

For the dragons he’s slain

He just wants to talk

Connect with another

Before long I realise

This man is my brother

 

My brother in arms

My lost fellow man

My point of existence

My part in the plan

 

This wretched man

Has set me free

To live this life

With empathy

My heart is open

My *** is full

I now have the courage

Of a

Sitting Bull

I thank my guest

And he thanks me

I invite him back

A

S

A

P

He doffs his hat

He smirks that smirk

And

I just know

Our love will work

 

*Day in

Day out

He sits on his bench

No one goes near him

Because of the stench

****

****

White Lightening

Despair

I watch from my window

It’s really not fair*
