----- A Sam Scott poem: 8th September 2023 -----
It's time I was more vocal Only so much time I can spend With people, my friend I love my humans Don't mishear I love a curry or casual beer But over-load.. It comes too quick On over-dose; a switch does click I yawn, I scratch Just take the hint Or let my shiny watch-strap glint Your presence, Though I love you dearly Has over-stayed it's welcome, clearly I may be rude So spare me that And grab your scarf, your coat, your hat I'll write a poem When you're gone Plonk piano keys; some solemn song Plug me in to time alone Recharge me Through nature's pasture roam My soul needs S p a c e To call it's own Hear birds and angels; Stillness caress Not lonely in my alone-ness Once I'm fixed It won't take long I'll skip towards you with a song I'll listen, care And be that friend Who's right there for you, without end
