Invisible Vampires (A Four By Six)
INVISIBLE VAMPIRES
They hover all round us
Tell me you don’t feel them
Be trusting, be open
But be nobody’s fool
Dare Devils (Reposted)
DARE DEVILS
Sly peeps from a foxhole I spy
Which of you though I wonder
Is the least untrustworthy one?
Variations on you taking turns
Flash past the slits of my eyes
Each taking their best shots
Taking their own sweet time
While I too take mine slowly
Ploughing through mugshots
Of women both lost and found
Tacitly playing judge and jury
Accuser and accused alike
Oh don’t make me lie to you
Let’s drop stubborn opinions
Let me lie with you instead
See us gratefully transported
To some other place far away
Yet together here all the time
Inverted Commas
INVERTED COMMAS
Words like “trust”
Like “faith”
Like “acceptance”
Come to mind
For “We” are
After all
Simply ripples
In an unfathomable ocean
2016 And Counting
2016 AND COUNTING
Fingers crossed plus prayers
Having surveyed the options
A broad church indeed
Some trust to Luck, others God
Let’s keep all options covered
Family II
FAMILY II
So I suggested
To my mother and father
(She coming first)
That we discuss
Our being here together
And much else besides
And then awoke
To the chilling realisation
Of this cold reality
New World Ordered
NEW WORLD ORDERED
Patiently waiting
Sitting with fingers crossed while
We twiddle our thumbs
