True West
I found you
at true west,
your hair tucked back
beneath your collar.
I had strong hands -
lean fingers
that splayed their mirth
across your collar bone.
I could almost wear you
inside out
like shearling,
a small animal
warm and curling
underneath the forest floor.
I am always late you said,
pulling out a cigarette
like you expected
an answer;
but all I could do
was stare out
at the sun

and wondering
if you remembered
my name.

to clean up his mess
again -
laundry that never saw
the light of day
and those strange stains
inside the kitchen sink-
coffee, or maybe last Tuesday's dinner.

How every day I was fighting a silent war
Behind closed eyes and slammed shut doors
They still don't know the half of it
How I dreamed to be alone
In a world that turned against me

Secrets from the kings tome
A shadow force plays my hand, a simple farmer i wish to be.
Situations and campaigns beyond control, I became a leader.
A man of simple pleasures, I seek only peace and guidance.
War torn chaos, wanton.
A king confined by honour, I lead on.
The desertion of common words, unable to speak freely takes its toll.
The king you love is confused and in despair, desperately needs a queen to lead him...
