A Small Child Starving On A Poster


Leave me here to die.

For I have only just

been born.



My problem will not be

lonely old age.

Nor need you

start a war

to get me shot.



You will dispel me

at an early age.

By removing all your load

from off my heart.



We will not meet.

Therefore we will avoid

the painful problems

felt

when people part.

Epiphany On The Beach.


I will not merge gently into the sea.

I will write words in rhythmic order.

Write about me and everything.


An odd feeling of introspective power.

That soothe like chocolate to one's ears.

And I will write in fear... but of what?


The cold, robotic, unemotional people.

Who take the tides of life like a cork,

bobbing on a ripple.


But I ride on top of the waves,

ram-shackled by the rocks.

And stalled by the small,

mean pebbles of events.
