Long Equidistant Poems

who, trothed to truth, would now be left displeased,
by hurried tempers bent on winning wars,
neglectful...

risking excitement in escapades that may seem inane,
potential hazard weighted against predicament predestined,
at some future stage I might peer backwards and reassess,
initial impetuousness under caustic supernatant thumbnail,
maybe I...

He brushed past her, no contact, each one at arm’s length,
yet she could feel the air stream, feel it from his overcoat
as it billowed; not enough time under the blue-white streetlights

LOVE REFLECTED AND UNTOLD
Late at night when the universe is asleep,
I stay up and reflect about you,
I gaze at the darkest night stars and crave that I was in yours arms,
But no matter how much...

Whilst pensive and serene
and seated on the loo 
contentedly having 
my morning number two 
my serenity was shaken
