I wondered what you wore
Beneath that neutral frown?
I hesitated for a second,
My guard was briefly down
You smiled for a moment
So what could this mean?
You were bored, amused, insulted
Or in some state between?
You countered all my questions
With chic frivolity,
Maintaining your distance
With deft brutality,
You danced, you charmed, you moved,
So invitingly,
But left me wondering
Were you inviting me?

Lympstone
(Requieset in pace)
North wind rain – and rust struck sea,
The teeming tide, clutching the quay;
Gushed and washed and churned the sand
Took the breaths of those on land
The wind blows still!
And then a walk from Lympstone’s sea
My hand in yours, though only
The cold wind and the wind cold sea
To warm and comfort me….
The wind blows still!
Did you feel the cold wind too?
Emotions chained and endings due,
Post dinner, port at Jane’s
As I left for the wind cold rain
The wind blows still!

A Window on the Snow from The Uselessness of History by Scorpio with The Bookshop Band
Night stands
And holds the blizzard’s zeal.
A landscape
Of fantasy but real….
A face pressed against a window,
Looks out upon the square below,
Watching figures, walking slowly
Beyond the orange glow.
From trembling lips….
Breath mists the glass,
Obscures the present,
Illuminates the past.
Two lovers walking slowly,
Talking about so and so,
This and that and nothing,
Beyond the orange glow.
Too soon like antique seasons
You said you had to go,
Walking slowly, walking sadly,
Beyond the orange glow.
Flotsam and Jetsam
