intent

one day
with you i'll go
to the altar,
ego

summerloved

4 people
warm dark
summertime
bright stark
sticking days
to sunburn
long nights
'til dawn turns
late to sleep
same to rise
sleep wake behold
your deep blue eyes
same day
pursue to follow
full deep not
plastic hollow
wait 'til weekend
sweet sickly air
catherine wheel
warm wind hair
brighter lights
then
speeding slow
when
should have
but dizzy
holding rails
avoiding glitzy
lost moment
of a last chance
mere romantic
dalliance

a bit of...

the stars above
never know what it's like
to ride on the wind
on a fast motorbike
the sun in her glory
splits up the days
but has never strolled home
in a drunken haze
the moon at night
is made of cream cheese
...or is it?
...if it's what you believe

the bingo, leeds irish centre

nine nines
minus one
is a fortune
for john
fifty five
to stay alive
but its gone
forty seven
less one
and the chance
of a stance
once seen
in james dean
is lost
but glossed
so the memory
stays with me
forever

kate connolys bonus

age envelops
as the calendar develops
grab what's on offer
there is only one
a birdsong's a second
then gone

same old story

too inept
to be adept
too daft
for deft
she laughed
then left
same old story
shaded glory
but it's hard to go on
and i know she's gone
'cause all her letters start
'Dear John...'
broken heart
sorrows son

i don't cry
until i do
and i just might
over you

from brooklyn bridge (manhattan end)

i was looking for someone
someone who meant much
her pale petal skin
so soft to my touch
i knew her quite well
inside and out
unsure misunderstandings
and definite doubt
her untouched naievety
yet knowing her lot
through feeling the loss
of a child unbegot

a night to remember

a night to remember
a day to forget
a year in december
the timetable set
nothing is even
minus is odds
the words are breathing
becoming her gods
positive’s negative
upwards is down
wondering how to live
when silence is sound
nothing is organised
into neat stacks of something
leaving appears wise
take nothing and everything
