Best Fiona Poems

For Fiona Meyrick, poet and musician; a Petrarchan sonnet

Fiona was far more mature than her years

The autumn tides had been huge and the currents strong


Mostly the aquamarine ones off track and abandoned

A bit like blue smarties excluded from the shiny packets

Forbidden colorants had lost their way into his life


Must...

Lately I’ve kept thinking 
How you’re only late if you show up 
I don’t wanna be in someone else’s web of memories 
I don’t wanna be the guardian angel who returns from the heavenly gates 
And saves the lives of who he once befriended
