"kev" poems
I was pulling up in the car park at the Immigration Removal Centre
When I realised that I'd completely f 'ed up
Having remembered:
- portable recording studio
- condensor microphones x 2 (one of them doesn't work, dunno which one, they look the same)
- dynamic microphone (sometimes works)
- XLR cables x 2 (in a tangled mess)
- Jack cables x 2 (joining the party)
- headphones
- headphone splitter (a remedy for people who are always on their phone?!)
- big-to-little adapters
- kettle lead (so named because it dates back from when the kettle was king)
- guitar
- and two folders of important bits of paper (well, at least some of it might be important)
I suddenly realised that I'd forgotten the only genuinely essential thing.
My passport.
You can't get in without your passport.
That's the rule and the rules don't bend.
Security is paramount.
I find my colleague, Lucky, sitting in his car.
Lucky: "Kev, you aren't gonna believe this but..."
He didn't need to say anymore.
I knew that he had done the same thing.
Lucky and I were in the same *** of s***.
But for some reason they made an exception.
We were lucky.
It must had rubbed off.

If Kev is the sky
With his head in the clouds
And Sie is the water
Always finding the level
In stroke and in flight
Ne’er twice the same brother
Each a perfectly formed
Reflection of the other

The guys lounge in chairs
in the worker's canteen
smoking and chatting
and swearing
ogling page 3 girls,
I read
Spinoza's Ethics
Deus in omnibus,
two girls from
the upstairs office
enter to use
the drink machine
slim dames
one blonde
one brunette
ignore the guys
as they fathom
the machine's guide,
Dio in tutte le cose
I read not gazing
at the dames
but smelling
the scents of them
alluring,
hey Sheila
how was it
last night?
You give him
some huh?
Said girl
looks daggers
pulls a face
looks away,
I turn a page
then look up
capture nearest
girl's fruits
then back to Spinoza
eyes on the page,
guess she did
Lewis says
others guffaw
eyeing the two dames
wanting to paw,
ignore them
they're just too rude
the other dame says
waiting for the drink cup
to fall,
The world would be happier
if men had the same
capacity to be silent
that they have to speak
Spinoza wrote I read,
the girls depart
with their drinks
nice ***
you've got you two
Kev says smiling
watching them disappear
with guffaws and a cheer,
I close the book
their scent remains
lingering in the air
as if in a dream
they're still there.

Sloshing Tears Because of Dear Friends
My tears are sloshing
For a different reason now.
Sweet Star is leaving.
Happy Thoughts
I'll miss your poems,
Sweet words and kind friendship, dear.
Sending happy thoughts.
Our Time
Please don't forget me.
I hope years down the road, you'll
Remember our time.
Believe In Yourself
Have fun in your life,
Don't forget to believe in
Yourself, dearest Kev.
Bright Days, Darker Nights
You've made my days so
Much brighter and I'm saddened
Now by dark nights..
(without you)
You'll always have a special place in my heart. Best of wishes to you and your writing. Goodbye, my dear friend.

And the guy said
what are you reading?
the canteen guys that is,
smokers, jokers, newspaper
consumers, Spinoza, I said,
his philosophy:ethicae, never
heard of him, Don said,
moustachioed, bright eyed,
tall and lean, sounds like
some vegetable, Kevin said,
small, wise of lips, short thin,
Dei ornent in omnibus, I said,
what the **** that mean?
Don said, frown of brows,
spread of lips, God in all things
or something like that, I said,
closing the book, taking up
my cup(cappuccino), all things?
Kev said, like in a dame's ****
laughter, wide smiles, gazing,
guess so, all things is all things,
I said, I sipped my drink, and all
things in God? Pete said, short
and stocky, ex jockey, that is
the way of it I guess, I said,
non diffondere gemme prima
sciocchi I recalled the Italian
priest saying years before at
the abbey on retreat, can I see
the book of that Spinoza guy?
Don said, I passed him the book,
my page marked by a thin sliver
of card, he scanned pages, finger
skipping through, eyes intent,
dark eyes almost black, too ****
deep for me, he said, page 3 is
more your mark, Kev said, those
photos of girls with ******* and all,
laughter, smiles, Don handed back
the book carefully, well at least
they say things to me, he said
grinning, Dieu au centre de tous
the French monk had said to me
at the abbey, his lips barely moving,
the words air bound, I drank the coffee
and returned to my book, cigarette
smoke rose, someone joked of his
wife's new dress a size too small and
her efforts to enter, God, I translated
the French monk's words, at the center.

Karissa and Kristy's Fishing Adventure
Bought a princess fishing pole in the Indiana Dunes
Which Karissa had yet to use...
Drove to the Illinois Valley with a plan
Stopped at the farm and saw the fam!
Headed to Lowell, River was closed
We went anyway, nobody knows!!
Nothing was biting, but Karissa caught a leaf!
She thought that was pretty funny, I do beleave...
From there we jumped in the car and headed to deer park
We went to the river area, got lost and almost ended up in the dark!
Don't get me wrong at first we did pretty great...
Walked a while, found the river and caught 8
Just kidding, it was only one
Those fish were too smart, but it was still fun!
They managed to eat the worm and stay away from the hook,
So we decided to try once more and that's all it took!
The fish caught the hook in the eye and I couldn't set it free
So I decided to take it with me!
We started walking and saw some stairs
Thought it was a short cut, but ended up a nightmare
Got lost in the woods for 3 hours with no clue what to do
Karissa was brave, but had her moments... I'm sure I did too!
At one point we went off path and tried to walk to the light
But kept getting poked by “pokeys” and it was too much of a fight
Kev and dad were looking for us
My mom was so worried, she put up a big fuss
She was 10 miles away from calling the State Police
And ditched her ride to the play we were supposed to go to with my neice
We saw lots of running deer
And Karissa tried her best to show no fear
We found a trail that was kinda actually marked
And were more confident that we would make it out by dark
Followed the orange poles and eventually came out
We were on the other side of the park, without a doubt!
Kev came and gave us a ride to the car
Made fun of our fish that was in the worm jar
He said, “Hey Krit, the friggin worm is bigger than the fish!”
and asked if it was worth it?
It was a good day and I have no regrets
Even though we got lost and I broke my camera, it was one of the best!
I LOVE spending time with family and friends,
and always will until the end!

Dare, it’s fair.
Love, is far.
There, you are.
Near, I saw.
So sacred, you relate.
Mysterious, it’s fate.

I'm so comfortable in your arms
Staring into your brown eyes
My hand brushing the stubble on your cheek
The warmth of our breaths intermingling and dancing around our faces
You smiling and me smiling back
"What?"
(I want to know your every thought)
"You're just so beautiful... And I'm so incredibly happy with you."
(I'm nothing special, but if you say so)
"I'm happy with you too, Kev... The happiest I've been in a while."
The sound of slow and steady breathing fills the air
Drifting off to sleep
. . .
"I love you, Haley."
. . .
My eyes flutter open at those words
I softly kiss your lips
"Not as much as I love you, Kevin."

Visual guild. As we consume thy perceptions.
Imagine reality. As we resume our intentions.
Let here ye sign signature of rose flower oaths.
Everlasting with hope. For we shall last for eternity.
Foreseen malice of Shiresham Retreat.
As thou ancestors betrothed in the garden.

I’ll turn,
you
into a poem,
So then,
you
I can keep,
Take a seat,
concrete
your my evidence,
Discrete,
with elite
hide in my closet,
This ink,
was meant
just for you,
Are you aware,
of just how
significant you are,
My dear,
my armor
is what shields you,
A golden halo,
illuminates the streaks
of your hair,
Like hope across,
your head
oh ye of much faith,
Landscape,
your mindscape
it’s all the same,
The way you,
grab hold
of my thoughts,
Sensible you,
How I dream
of you,
Our time,
is near to
conquer defeat,
Hold onto,
my hand
without doubt,
Am I,
good enough
for you,
You came,
knocking at
my door with love,
The love,
from within
will never die,
Your exuberant
heart is a gift
from God.

I see it in other worlds forming it's patterns. As always, since I was as little boy the feeling and vision is what is to come. Whether I like it or not the hum of life and meaning grows. This storm is beautiful. After a chance meeting in the fall I never lost her. She returns here and then in this life and in the mist of other worlds. It's real. Never slowing and only growing, my love for her and her love for me, a coming wave ever getting higher. The winds pickup their swirl. The sky opens up its announcement. Its not surprising. Its real Kev.

My next door neighbour told me a funny story the other day
It’s about Phyllis who lives down the road
She was out with her fancy piece called Tommy getting laid
Having a **** in his car down a country lane
She was there with her legs open not thinking of her husband
Going at like a prize stallion chasing a filly winning his race
Then Tommy cried out in pain and started crying
Phyllis thought he was joking about
‘Oh **** it! My back has gone Phyllis! Call the Fire Brigade!’
‘You gotta be joking Kev. But hey! I love a man in uniform.’
Kev managed to reach his hands free kit and call 999
Within five minutes the fire engine arrived
Four beefy firemen in uniform assessed the situation
Hiding their smirks they planned what to do
One fireman got the Jaws of Life from the fire engine
It took several minutes to cut the roof off Kev’s Jaguar
His expensive cool motor was now a convertible!
Then over the next hour they slowly lifted Kev upwards
And placed him in a rigid stretcher to minimise further injury
An ambulance arrived and Kev was taken to hospital
Phyllis got busy ******* and ******* each of the firemen
In Kev’s convertible Jag which was now a ******** parlour...
