Its Silly To Hurt Someione who loves you

Tell me, do you believe
in mermaids?

Curled against you
in this god-forsaken ditch.

Travel bugs.

long low sensual sighs
Rich gnawed plum delights
slow soft peeled back skin
Raw tension in the air begins
entwining lying in the rain
Fractal images be-spokes

To blow away like dry sand

I didn’t want to go to a British university, it felt too much like the educational treadmill: school, college, uni. I’d be trapped forever in a normal life.

Loneliness
P K Routray
Retired old and alone,
no works entrusted to be done,
time to go to the other world is close by but not known,

I knew back then as I know now… we’ll never be apart
She’s in my head, she is my life… and she’s always in my heart
She makes me smile, she makes me laugh… I can’t believe my luck

for her

Blinded by the light of unrequited love.

Inflatable clown,
in a bed with cot sides.
You are Pierrot’s mime artist,
propped up on stiff pillows,
an auguste face of taut.

When I glimpse the horror of you,
my words go astray.

Sometimes things are just not what you want them to be, but only one person can change them...
