Familiar Song it carries on this familiar song don’t criticise structures or pillars let us bask in our roman villa’s … More

but i cannot mock you
for that unforgivable fact
now you suddenly move to the left
good intentions but still so bereft

i see you happiness fumble
and sometimes,
tumble down the stairs –
of your self esteem

i have offered my thoughts to you
and i have talked about the time
the train hurtled forward at full pelt

you can deconstruct society
and tell me,
it is all just a fallacy
that is truer

never really nailed down this being with others
because,
boundless love does not provide all weather cover

growing up –
covered in affection
but tied –
with a bow of misdirection

the self confidence
is too much
and then,
it is not enough

we think back and place parts of our lives
in phrases or blocks
behaviour that went too far
behaviour that we could not stop
