Old Laundry

Painted and withering
Is this hopefulness.
So overridden
is my speech now. 

Desiring a fading
is the only route. 

Blood stained sheets,
wrapped, comforted
albeit held prisoner.

White washing machine
Not too tidy any longer.


HIDE AND SEEK

HIDE AND SEEK

Love can be discreet
Sometimes even neat
Feeling the heart beat
Often disguising
The passion rising
But there is more yet
By being adept
With a secret kept

The face is glowing
And all are knowing
When love is showing
Not always hidden
Nor overridden
When it is bidden
And recognising
It’s not surprising

Premium Member A Surge of Logic

Maverick waves turn the tide 
crashing like an out of tune refrain;
Things so wrong I could have cried;

Momentum stronger than a train,
all the wind knocked out of you;
Balance becomes hard to maintain;

Warped has overridden what’s true,
I’m out of step with the new humanity;
Red cannot ever paint things blue;

A surge of logic washes over me,
surviving on a little bit of crazy.

When Someone Lies

When someone lies and does it well,
It makes it very hard to tell
That in his head, the truth must dwell,
Though very deeply hidden.

The stories that he tries to sell,
Repeated like a broken bell,
Affect some people like a spell,
Disturbing and forbidden.

If numbers of his fans do swell
And his supporters start to kvell*,
Then we’re all going straight to hell,
Our virtue overridden.

*burst with pride and joy
