You could be clever
You could be rich
You could be famous
All over the world

You could be happy
And witty and free
You could be handsome.
But could you be me?

Another poem that worries away at the idea of identity. Who we are and how we appear to others  and how others appear to us and....
Oh well  at least it's  not too dark and no one dies in it.

I loved you
But you left me
You had other seeds to sow
You packed your bags
And said
“goodbye It's for the best, you know”

But you never
Actually managed
To leave the house and go
You're still buried
in the garden
Cos i killed you with a ***

Definitely not autobiographical, before you go and call the police.

You Are

You're my sunlight in my darkness
The rainbow in my rain
The snow on distant mountains  
We'll go walking there again

You're the apple in my apple pie.
You're the raisins in my scone.
When I'm with you it seems to me
that one and one is one

March 2017 and sometine 1985ish
The second verse was a bit of a poem i put in a card to my wife over 30 years ago, and she still married m! . Sadly I've forgotten the rest , probably for the best, so i added the first verse recently.

Hand in hand
Along the sand
Beneath the palms
Just you and me
Our severed arms
Roll gently to the sea
From #horrorprompt. hand in hand

With disarming charm
He took my arm
He also took my leg
He cracked my skull
Like a thin shelled egg
And munched till he was full
From twitter #horrorprompt.

If you serenade your lover
With other people's voices
Then she's only staying with you
If she has no other choices
I hope this is deeper than it seems. Or am I just deluding myself. I can see deepness in it anyway. The rest I leave to you.

We stand as one in beauty
at the ending of the day.
In warm and tender loving
spend the night.

But I greet the dawn with sadness
and an aching in my heart
for when breakfast’s done. my darling,
we must part.

Was going  to be a poem for my wife but it went wrong  in the  second  verse, and i couldn't give her this. Back to the writing desk.

There's a killer whale in the bathtub
And a crocodile in the sink
I know you think I'm lying
I know that's what you think
But i really am being honest
And truly they are there
You can even go upstairs to check
Just don't annoy the bear.
And if you creep softly to the toilet
And sneak on quiet feet
You'll also get to see the thing
That lurks beneath the seat

Stalking
 May 2017 B H H Burns
Garry
Madness rages
Out-of cages
Looking round for you

Voices screaming
No one’s dreaming
Coming after you

Axes chopping
limbs flopping
I'm catching up with you.

For at least two people on twitter! Stalking isn't actually a hobby of mine!
