I feel your presence by my side
Upon the turning of the tide
Tired feet upon the sand
We stand and watch it hand in hand
Nature’s slow brutality
The endless pull of gravity
The wind no longer at our back
We cannot hold the torrent back
At setting sun, the waves advance
An ancient tune, the final dance
The curtain falling, calling time
Upon our lonely pantomime
The current has its final say
And in its arms floats us away
Fading memories, fading light
We drift together into night.
Blessed with fatal sight
Dispossessed by the long night
Obsessed by the light

Whoops ….

BUT
Tripped up in edit
So obsessed that ‘you’ got lost.
Post it anyway
I have no idea where this comes from but its ‘stream of consciousness’ time and …. come on …. who hasn’t fallen for a nurse once or twice?
For Linda’s #soc do I get extra points for starting AND finishing with the word why?
Why do you look over me?
How could I so lucky be?
Holy Moley
Goodness me
I’m besotted
Can’t you see?
Heavens to Betsy
Me O my
These are tears of joy
I cry
You take my pulse
As here I lie
And take my heart
I wonder why?
Take me to
The darker side
Provide for me
A place to hide
Bind my wrists
Don’t let me loose
Use me whilst
I’m still of use
Break my heart
Then break my bones
Whilst whistling
In overtones
Push the buttons
Step on toes
Don’t worry sweetheart
No-on knows
And when they come
To make you pay
Trust that I’ll know
What to say
Just like the last time
I will lie
And be your stupid
