Lovelust
I feel cold,
Cold to touch,
Cold inside,
My senses are becoming numb,
My world is turning darker and darker,
Until I am one with the void.
shooting ducks at a fairground attraction
cracking nuts at a Christmas reunion

I am losing it, all is confusion as the morning light shines in my eyes

It's a colourful paint can.

Under ten million or more twinkling thinking of stars being born
being torn
being worn like a sleeve on my heart
keeping lovers apart

at some point somewhere deep inside where the itch of a memory resides and a wider horizon give a different opinion to the one you expounded
you had to scratch it
so it bleeds and
it's horse ****
you
should have left it for the roses
now your nose is in it

the stars twinkle thinking we're dull and I feel the pull of them
the night is so full of them

in all of the wishing in the well where the wishes of happiness dwell

there are more wishes

more than a million or more.

I watch them winking at me as they wander the celestial sea
each coming to its conclusion

One day
unencumbered by self doubt or confusion
I shall twinkle too.

crash and burn
searching for an answerer
every single question i ask
Long neck
Not some beer bottle
But a soft waddle
As his beak
Pecks and plucks
Roots, and grassy stuff
To munch

Black eyes
With a white chin
And a face
That goes
From black
To white
And back again

Feathers folded in
Light brown
Gray and fading
Flutter nervously
When he sees me
Approaching

Beautiful, distracting
Extracting me from my
Deep reflections
And ancient sorrows

I watch web feet
Walk into that small sea
And see a water stream
Follow him
As he swims
Away
