Poetry By Eventide

A place to experiment before being dragged into the big time.

Sometimes I don't know what to think
We laugh at the same things
We cry not frequently enough

In 1972, a tobacco company considered adding honey to cigarettes because teenagers like sweet products
Tuesday afternoon, London (Richmond @ Oxford)

Effective. Passive. Bold.

Insufficient. Weak. No change.

No sunrise today
Little time to say
What I wanted to
recite for you

You have to love the colour which precedes a cloudy day.

sunrise17jan2007

Supremely addicted
I know not what I say
Thoughts come flowing
Yet I wash them away

With luck you shall enjoy
A feat of memory upcoming
All tasks completed
Time standing still

For we seem to ogle
Enjoying laughter (and sight)
Of each other daily
Making absence our plight

Okay. I'm addicted. And this was supposed to be posted. Yesterday.

Sweet colours.

Lovely place amongst friends
Addicted am I
Persons new to me
Interesting, different, wonderful

truth and secrets

Seeing you, watching you
standing there, apart
in arms reach and across the valley
sudden silent speech breaches the chasm.
Reading into it
my guess devours you

black walnuts and autumn-coloured leaves

No sunrise today,

It was cloudy,

But I got just enough sleep,

To be up anyway.



reminder of last season: black walnuts and autumn-coloured leaves

What a beautiful start to a wonderful day.sunrise 11 January 2007

Were all the day as brilliant. . .

eating my insides

I am drawn as a moth
Nothing do I want more
Yet sickening to me
a bitter taste of sense
however common makes my insides
feel extruded to paste
then ground up like dried autumn leaves

I want nothing else
I need anything else
I could use a little help

Maybe we can meet for tea?
But then the turmoil would overtake
And I'd risk laying it all on your plate

Please, dawn. Come take me
Through this and past it

It is my race to heal

ever after

teased, as the prince[1]
longing for contact of the past
something has changed beneath the surface
all too oblique for my eye to see

Somehow I feel special

Not only do you care
How strong I feel
But you wait until
I can bear it

Waiting quietly
patiently
Until time reaches
Reaches our moment

It's amazing how pretty the colours come through sunrise Monday 8 January

the clouds dropping rain across the city.

This time I managed to keep from finishing the whole bag. IIRC this took place between 23h30 and 23h55 last night.

not quite empty bag of chips

Mmmmm.... yummy "no name brand" plain, non-ruffled potato chips.

sunrise Jan 4, 7h57

That was easy, wasn't it!

where ever have we gone

I thought I knew you
After those threats
Those teases
Now thrown aside

Cast away am I
Like a new toy
The morning after
No more, maybe less

Time was good, we laughed
It was special in some way
But
At least we had the changeroom
