You Were There

I walked in

The pub

"Ye Olde King's Head"

In Santa Monica,  CA

To meet a friend

You were there

The girls

And I sat in

A booth

Chatting

British accents

Everywhere

You were there

We talked

About our lives

My moving in

A week

To foreign shores

While drinking tea

And wine

You were there

Your smiling eyes

Of blue

Stared into mine

Your laughter

Rumbled deep in

My soul

While we were

Treated to

Sticky toffee pudding

You were there

A Pirate's Life For Me

When I was

But a wee lass

Me dad

An old salt

Did take me

Out to sea

A Man-O-War

She was a beaut

Manned by corsairs

With long

Flowing hair

It ruined

All landlubbers

For me

With a heave ho

We weighed anchor

And hoisted the mizzen

Set sail for parts unknown

In search of booty

Ripe for plunderin'

I learned to love

Salmagungi

As I grew

Me sea legs

And grow I did

On that

Man-O-War

Land for me

Was no more

I can weave

A merry yarn

But I'll not

Blow the gaff

And take the risk of

Me hangin'

From the yardarm

Or

Keel haulin'

'Neath the hull

A pirate's life

Is hard

But ne'er dull

It is the only life

For me

And one day

I will be

Buried in

Davey Jones locker

'Neath the sea

Luna

Luna

Dark as a starless night

On a new moon

You slinked silently into sight

With feline grace

By your side

A cunning serpent

Slithered by coldly

It's clear intent

To strike boldly

Then vanish

Without a trace

Why have you brought

Chaos into our midst?

My mind screamed

You think an innocent tryst?

You naive fool

You were a play thing

Nothing but a tool

Oh how I feared

As I looked upon

Your guileless face

Befriend not the devil

My dear Luna

For he will charm

Cajole

And disarm

Until you are left

A sorry case

Missive To My Lover

To my lover dear

Where my heart doth dwell

May I whisper in your ear

Of how I love you well

May I kiss your brow

To soothe your pain

If I could, I would, right now

Make your troubles wane

So read this missive

As I pray

For it is all I have to give

I just wanted to say

That I pray

Tomorrow is brighter

And brighter still

Each and every day

Pantoum - Tis Difficult

Tis difficult to bare my truths

For I would have to look upon my flaws

And find myself diminished

In my eyes

For I would have to look upon my flaws

The horrors that will reflect

In my eyes

As the tears well

The horrors that will reflect

My mind will reject

As the tears well

My pride will hold fast, for

My mind will reject

What is plain to see

My pride will hold fast, for

Tis difficult to bare my truths

My Side

This is me

My words aren't pretty

But they have a story

They can tell

This is for you

You know who

I've seen all

That you do

Hiding behind

A blank face

But your words

I know too well

These lips

You have kissed

This body

You have touched

But your time

Your precious time

It wasn't mine

I gave you

My love

Unconditionally

There was no one

Above

Years

Years

I gave

Tears

Tears

So many tears

Enough to fill

My grave

But you

Wouldn't give me

What I craved

You strung me along

Every day a new song

Minutes

Hours

Days

I spent alone

Wishing

You were

By my side

If you loved me

As you say

You would have

Found a way

My love has withered

It has died

That

I can no longer hide

All the time

I spent alone

I created

A new song

Now my lips

My body

My time

Belongs to me

Because I am free

To choose

I choose

To be happy

So spiteful man

Spill hate

As much

As you can

You are finally

Spending the time

That should have

Been mine

But your words

Can not touch me

For I no longer care

Just know

That I know

That behind

Your words

Is the love

You should

Have shared

Mr. Hummingbird

Mr. Hummingbird

Dressed in all

Your finery

Gems of rubies

Catch the light

As you fly by

Swooping down

Chasing away

Your rivals

A fierce raptor

With sword aloft

From the sky

You come a-calling

Several times a day

Standing sentinel

Across the way

I can almost believe

It is my company

That you love

But alas

It is only

My sweet nectar

That you crave

You greedy

Greedy knave
