Poem -

Bird-brained

First, there are all these things to loose.

 

Then, I'll be over the hill.

 

When I was a boy given to me many things 

   were.

 

I'm preparing for a spiritual world.

 

 

Always talk of poets in bars, reading poems 

 

Loud, obnoxiously.

 

Verses near magnificently profound.

 

Poet humour getting on the bus skips town.

Bird-brained, eagle-eyed 

 

I'm high in Alps digesting a black backdrop.

 

From this there can be no coming back.

 

The point when I realise, even I could cry.

 

 

Is there Time on the other side?

 

Are there dangers like in this life?

 

A masked devil takes my hand in his.

 

I lean to mark the spot where I first noticed.

Dear Rory, such rawness in this poem, outstanding to say the least, 

I'm high in Alps digesting a black backdrop.
 
From this there can be no coming back.
 
The point when I realise, even I could cry.

Kudos on these lines, you show your soul to the reader. Imagery is profoundly beautiful and dark. Kudos my friend. A stunning piece from you. 🌹

The truth finally crawled out of its grave—
you never loved me.
