walRU

the song of evening

I was never
taught
how music's
sold and bought

all I know
is every girl
I ever knew
had lyrics.. but never you

girl you are
a celtic air
a blend of strings
when no-one's there

no need for lines
nor lyrics wrote
a warmth beyond
a thing you'd quote

I see the words
of girls I knew
fade amongst
the morning dew

I hear your strings
at evening's fade
your head sleeps on
my shoulder blade

walRU

walrus

a white cloud of teeth
approaches
looks..
and reconsiders

02:03
at the nightclub
a confrontation
I work the door

a struggle
we trade
I remove
the bigger man

he sees
his own blood
my squat silhouette
heavy goatee

"you are just
a psychotic walrus..! "
shouts he
from kerbside chamfered bivouac

guffaws
from staff
onlookers
bystanders


nickname..
tattoo

Can you be?

Is the honesty of what could be a painful reminder of what you see?
Is the truth of life to hard to bear? Can you be what you want to be?
Is the way forward easier, for you to see, never looking back, never
being there, being you and taking care, and tomorrow is a new day,
Don't see it different, don't see a way, it's there, it's here, come
what may.

Poem

Who is real in a world of unreal, who is true in a world of untrue,
Who is right in a world of deception, who are you?
What makes you right?, what makes me right?, Don’t condemn
Because you can’t, don’t play the part, of judge and jury,
Don’t profess your innocence, don’t decide what’s right
Or wrong, don’t be a hypocrite don’t stand on your ideals,
Because it’s right from where you sit, don’t be what you
Don’t want to see, don’t join the company of hypocrisy
Think more and speak less, and allow life to be, then you
Will find yourself in the company of what was meant to be.

Another Poem

You said something yesterday, that affects my world today,
What did I say? You say it was nothing, but I feel bad,
I feel sad, you don’t know?, do you care?, and then it begins!
Another day, another mismatch of feelings and emotions
Someone did not catch,........ I did not mean anything, I don’t know
What you want me to say,?.............. Well I don’t want words, I want you to
Pay, it’s a new day, now you will know how I felt, I’ll just be like
You you were to me, and then you will see, how I feel, and then
I’ll be ok, then we can both feel bad and sad and that will make all
The difference!

Oh no, another one!

It seems nothing changes, don’t ever speak too loud,
You are not allowed, those that profess, sometimes regress,
And the promise of equality is lost in the pursuit of being right
And for them its how it goes, who knows, where we go from
Here, tomorrow will be, with or without you or me.

Short Poem

It’s the things that you say, that change the way that your life
Will flow, it’s never what you know, it’s always what you don’t know,
What you can't see,
That will make the difference between happiness and misery!

Imagine

Imagine, your whole world revolves around you literally,
Who feels your pain, you!, who feels your loss, you!, who
Feels but you, this world is your creation, from your imagination,
In tune with life, In tune with you, a song that you make true,
And when it ends and it’s over and done there’s never a
Winner or someone that’s won, start anew, me and you!

Three lines

Words divide,
It seems to be,
Do you agree?

Letting Love Lead

Now, the time is come for me to carry on,
What was right then - time to pay the Piper,
Still, I wasn't wrong,
So quickly went that life on a perfectly jagged road--,
Letting love lead the way-,
Just to feel something where there was nothing at all,
Years to build - watching in moments to fall,
Once again, alone,
But still standing tall--,
Letting love lead you betrayed-,

Letting love lead you,
Then love no longer needs you,
What else can you do?
Just follow the sound?-,

So many paths you could have chose,
You chose love and what did you know?
A winner only to lose?,
Or the path you go?--,
Letting love lead astray-,
Now since time - it has come to change,
Without many words here left to say,
But there is you,
And you are still the same--,
Letting love lead-,

Letting love lead me,
Blindly knowing love can deceive me,
What else could it be?
I'll just follow that sound!----

About this poem:
I wrote this 6-20-2022. This is a sad, sentimental song that we've all had a taste of, or perhaps still has a taste in our mouth from yesterday's life. When I wrote this, I wrote it here before placing on paper/ music sheets. So, this is an original first draft without music or rewriting, adding more or subtracting less. Until then...
