And then there are times - A poem

and then there are times

when the wheels stop turning
inertia unravels another line
and i am moving

the word hangs limp
and heavy in the air
already falling
down below me
behind smaller gone

and i know nothing
(I whisper this into your ear)
see him turn to chase a sphere
that rolls into my hand

i let it go 
and watch it fall

and i am moving
watch it fall
turning round

Turning In - A poem

I was the one who
fuming with wine
muffled my buckle
with a mock comic
finger to lip

I who tipsy
tripped up through
the kitchen’s cats
muttering cursing
suffering vinyl
all to turn the tap

I you heard
flop into bed
roll onto your side and
maybe smell
my soft whispering
plea to sleep

and I who clumsy curled
my arm around
which ached
and moved
to part

I was the one
who nearly woke you
breathe in peace
rest well

As the Mist Leaves No Scar - A song inspired by an unravelling of Leonard Cohen's conceit.

Leonard Cohen's conceit.

Verse 1
You set off a bomb and you got clean away
A suicide bomber who lived out her days
And oh how the mist can leave a scar

Verse 2
Innocent accidents happen each day
A child with a gun blows her daddy away
And oh how the mist can leave a scar
And oh how I wonder who you are

Chorus
On with this carousel, on with the show
On with the daily routine
On with these promises and the belief
That you are what you seem

Homeless and doe-eyed you asked me to stay
A host with a parasite eaten away
And oh how the mist can leave a scar

Collateral damage caught up in the fray
An innocent bystander caught in the way
And oh how the mist can leave scar
And oh how I wonder who you are 

(Chorus)

(Verse shape guitar solo)

(Chorus)

(Verse 1)
+
And oh how I wonder who you are 
And oh how I wonder who you are
