This is not me,
jelly for thoughts,
each day of gethsemane,
such a fall from grace,
cast adrift forlorn,
I don’t want to hate,
make a fool of reason,
laugh when I'm caught,
spitting at eternity,
you’ll read this and shake,
absent from my call,
I’ll scream and create,
denying the seasons,
wondering if I'm born,
howling for eternity,
you’ll raise the stakes,
fear of being torn,
you’ll try to act brave,
who dreams of purgatory,
sitting on a wall,
boom of a broken sea,
not wanting to fall?

The love you show,
dissolves gives way,
a fool with every throw,
is it in your creed,
to circle the days,
why can't you see,
in garments sewn,
by a drunken oblate,
it’s all you know,
incense, flowers, crazes,
a dance on hot stones,
you want to be free,
of what you've sown,
only the shame,
head bowed as you go,
pulls you back to me,
bring whisky for your pain,
try to be happy,
brilliant origins,
whisper your name,
water is in full flow,
find your own space

Whoever owns the night,
the wind rocked room,
makes you wonder why,
I keep a cheerful home,
outside are the dunes,
I’m always on the go,
forget the bitter times,
all the cool untruths,
where different worlds collide,
living dreams without a phone,
I’m always glad to see you,
a piece of life postponed,
the air splashing by,
fog like a final soup,
some wait all their lives,
others touch the stones,
kid themselves to look,
who they were before,
laugh at freedom passing by,
laugh and hum a tune,
says it's stupid to lie,
whatever else I do.

It just goes to show,
when I hear your blues,
in some lane dead slow,
a witness to your sighs,
the ugly feuds,
your weary lies,
the missed loans,
anything to unglue,
my frozen bones,
instead of jibes,
and all your doodle doo,
why make me cry,
is it all you know,
how to haunt a venue,
keeping up a cheery tone,
trying to be wise,
it's nothing new,
I've marked these nights,
better face the blow,
something I always knew,
heaven's in my soul,
there’s no space for you.

if you knew how to give,
you wouldn't need,
this place to live,
it’s no child’s game,
around your greed,
chastened by your days,
what about the kids,
with all their surly needs,
will you let them adrift,
golden lies don’t negate,
the spin of the breeze,
why blow them away,
a spider with your woven fibs,
your blue life’s no wheeze,
banging the lid,
I’m the fool to resonate,
bring you gifts,
while you delegate,
spend your time in drips,
no loving need,
this yellow night bids,
can make you see.

You who always fight,
wear robes of purple hue,
should note my cotton stripes,
within a sea of sharks,
your smile arrives on cue,
beams while I sink,
gives me some crass disguise,
a lightness of balloons,
makes me wise,
I shuffle like a tank,
to the visitor's room,
my hair shines,
it blows around your eyes,
behind fake news,
there is a bridge of sighs,
you're no dismal crank,
your spirit lifts the room,
I call you Frank,
you’ll pay these fines,
there's nothing to refuse,
will present my best smile,
make you laugh like new.

I'll dance with you,
if I'm not too late,
melt me like glue,
don't make me groan,
like I’m a special case,
yellow doused Cologne,
I'll borrow the moon,
church and state,
if you'll beat the blues,
we are never alone,
hope’s at the gate,
a promenade to your throne,
tell me the truth,
if your vision's great,
why hold it in ruins,
maybe a lazy home,
made your case,
dusty as a heavy tome,
you make me swoon,
keep me as your date,
to hell with the rumours,
love doesn’t age.
