A Yorkshire Poet Poet Free verse

Borne Alive, Awake

I see the bends in the straight lines.
Convince me it’s water when I see wine.
The lies behind the fake or sincere smiles.
The dirt track road of miles and miles.
The pain behind the smiling eyes.

I see the cruelty and loneliness that you create.
I see unbearable pain borne alive, awake.
No matter what colour their skin or how they spell their names.
Sorrow looks the same in any eyes of any face.

I see the light, I see the dark.
Simple mistakes that tear families apart.

For I am a person who no one wants to see.
Sometimes when I get to know you, you can never know me.

I must see all your fears, understand all your lies.

I must act in fact to remain effective.

For I am a Detective.
