Poems by Simon Burgess Aged 35 and Three Quarters

 

Hello, Goodbye

 

Hello

I am yours

I am here

Waiting

Wanting your smile

Wanting your kiss

Wanting your love

But

Enough is enough

Puff, puff

Goodbye

I was yours

Not here

Gone elsewhere

Smiling

Not at you

Can’t stop

Time I flew

Phew.

 


You and me

 

Through the mist, my eye

Catches a glimpse

Intoxication

A smile

And a flirtatious move

You look at me

Wide eyed

Hold me in your gaze.

Freckles on a face

Spoons

Curl

Pearl, pure white

In a protective shell

Let the wind blow free

Together we beat the world
