invisible bars
around your lacklustre heart
the colour of you

Unresolved
lacklustre sky
confronting iron sea;
Hesitant horizon disconcerting me,
contumaciously...

The hunger
Stave off
The lacklustre
Lust
The collapsing pulse
Fluctuations
The bond
Broken
Flatline....

I’ll apologise here at the start
For this verse won’t appeal to your heart.
So banal, it’s a shame
But I’ll shoulder the blame
’Cos it's not rude, nor funny, nor smart!...

You fake a smile to fool your friends
but you will never fool yourself.
Burn under the neon sun,
strobe flashes life before your eyes.

Poisoned with the shallow ideals,
preached to you by hungry chancers.
In your glass of deep dark red
will you find the answer?...

Plastic Alice
through the looking glass
Her daughters have Pans merriment
Hungry for the here and now
Culpability over reality
They are non traditionalists
Parking on yellow lines 
Forever disobedient
The Sun can't shine
forever lacklustre
is their main amusement...

Loneliness lurks like a live leprechaun,

Leering at her loss of love and laughter;

She leads a luckless lamentable life,

Lacking light, leaning towards lunacy,

Laden with longing and lacklustre lies;

Listlessly lingering in lethargy,

Labyrinthine lady looks lachrymose.

Without the insight to know what you are seeing in its true light.
Inspired delving at night brings to light the places
You want revealed next
When each new day dawns with light beams
Cast from sun rising behind holey clouds...
