Blind Date

I went on a blind date, to support my best mate
Who assured me my girl would be awesome,

Said she'd only go out in a foursome.

So with oodles...

Haggis hype
Bagpipes bleating like unshorn sheep
Tartan theatrical - military tatoos
Scotland cloning Dolly the Sheep
National pride - Robbie Burns, poet, bard of Auld Lang Syne
Highlands of ancient rocks, rift vallies

...Now I ain't without notoriety,
Fact is.. I'm an old stalker with a walker.
She was big in the Purple Hat Society
and broke her hip,...while playing soccer.

When I met her, she was on the mend,
and she knew.....

There he lies sleeping,
what used to be my blonde hair, 
blue eyed little boy,
who is now no longer mine.
He is his own person, 
a man in age, but not in actions.

His arms are covered in...

Make it all your play thing darlin'
this world you trapse through bemused
amused? smiling wicked walking by
those lonely hearts abused
Each and every sunset you awaken to
leaves the sun regretting you
being unleashed as the harsh wind blew

Gone are the days
when we used to        wave
used to play      we
used to rave

Having one's person embellished with tattoos is all the rage today.
Used to be that only carousing tars got tattooed in old Mandalay!
They might have an 'anchor' or 'Mother' branded upon their chest,
Their ship's name or...

Still a man you know
Still got the blood flowing inside of me
Still got my act together
Still believe in the art on my body 
So long as you don’t profile me

I am your brother
I am your...

An abundance of zips, leather and whips,
Full length tatoos and piercings through lips,
Above and below, some off, some on show,
The next time the ball's on you really should go.
How delightfully they serve, to those with...

It tore my heart apart a time or two
Chance after chance left me to lose
It never did get any better promises to a fool
But I chose to believe bruises were tatoos
Significance in sorry led me...

You said you were grief, 
the marbled tears will not flow. 
Was it not much softer 
to accept the life
as a design of death?

The more we move closer,
The more i feel it nearer.
The more it comes closer,
The more our love becomes stronger.
Than we thought, it's becoming faster.
Oh! I can't hold it...

We have a collective memory still
Encoded in the body's text
Beyond the bland spate of tatoos
And meaningless calligraphy of the skin
We in ourselves carry that history
Inscribed in cloth and song
Uncontested as some commune
In their apologetics for...

we see the sun almost everyday
when it's not hiding behind 
a thick haze
we live near tall buildings 
that hide the moon
and the lights of the city
makes the sky a dark gloom
what chance have i to...
