Pretends 

To be 
A sea,

But knows
It flows

Through towns 
And gowns

And spires
  And shires.

Hints its way
across the face of house
and in the empy black eyed windows
the shadows slither together

8:39 and am I fine?
   Am I here alone again?

Is this night so dark that I
   Can't see my shadows calling me?

   In your eternity

So funny now I see
   How far, so close you are to me...

Written emotion lies to all
The core of her is rancid
Her center made of fantasy

She tries to impress all
With saccharin sickly prose
The woman turns a blind eye
Her true intentions revealed...

She blows big kisses.
They’re always misses.

Us humans shift our eyes, pretend we're not the owner...

faking what is long gone
cutting my losses and moving on
we take what we can get from love
stamp it and mail it to the wrong address

He hears the little ones making mewing sounds; one makes a bleep...

Simultaneity

Of life and death

A story of not two..

A story because

Words are stories

Implying separation..

To express that which

Christmas
memories
lost in frail mind.
His family are strangers - 
eyes blank. 

Boyish
thoughts of yore, 
Grandpa pretends,
returns hugs with anxious smile –
lonely.

so i advert my eyes as
my hostage pretends to be surprised

He pretends to be what he is not,
a borrowed reality shapes his suit,

cuts his cloth. He imagines himself
reflected in mirroring eyes.

one we all have all put together
from clouds and cobwebs.

Let us hope we have liars
for friends....

By December he will be dead.

It’s nothing to worry about
I play along without a shout
I readily agree

For three long months we play this song
He pretends that nothing is wrong
I readily agree...
