Thoughts of you fill my bed,
Thinking wickedly of you!

I'm going to need a pill for all this...
To numb me.
To bring me forgetful patience
and  delicate bravery.

This up and down
In and out
Round and round....silly caged clown.

I'm going to need a pill for all this...
"As if" acting and sad smiling and normal-ness?
For-if I don't swallow that pill
I will sink into the abyss.

And now steaming with
four hours past, I think at last I have it
The raging energy and adreline laced anger to let it go but
I reach for the bottle and swallow the pill, whole.
I couldn't leave
I couldn't go
Without letting you know
I love you so!

I miss you like cigarettes
I miss you like cake.
Could you be the one? My one? Never have I considered the line of your jaw to be anything special, nor your smile to be a wonder but today, that laugh, the way you looked at the floor, then looked up at me through your overgrown fringe made the earth fall away, just for a second, my equilibrium shifted and I was lost in your tide, awkwardly lighting a cigarette my shell shocked hands desperate to belie my cool disposition. You walked with me a while in silence, sharing drags, my lips, only too aware that they were following yours, prayed for more with a half smile, while your fingers pushed a wayward curl from my forehead, turning my heart into a supernova.... and all I could think was.... You? Really? Oh boy.
Attraction is a strange beast that pounces when you least expect it.

Me and Carole,  Carole and me

Do I love her? Yes
Does she love me ? Yes
Can we be together one day?
I remember our holiday in Malta
She looked so radiant
But oh how ill, cancer
A woman who had dealt with cancer patients all her life
She is a Catholic and so I took her to a special church on Gozo
The church of miracles
She had a special blessing there
And I think for her that was the highlight of the holiday
And then into hospital
Both ******* removed and a bit more
The times she tried to give up, she just wanted to die
I gave her abuse no normal human would have ever accepted
But deep down I like to think I kept her alive
One major problem,  she has a partner,  I have a wife
But I love Carole
I will let you my peers judge me
