More from *AlecBell

Blunt
Fingers work- toughened,
stripped long since of softness
by daily struggle.

These are not fingers that stroke
gently. They lack tact.
Massacre
Far too many names,
neatly engraved in marble,
cold, white, sanitised.

The fearful din of chaos
lives on only in the mind.
All Things WappingJeremy Hunt is wise and fair,
Just as honest as Tony Blair.

He failed to fathom Rupert Murdoch's tricks
but still he knew which orifice to lick.
Journey's EndTattered banners flap and rattle
at the mastheads, tugged by unceasing
rivers of air. The sodden hulk
can only wallow, helpless before
the fierce teeth at the cliff foot
as breakers shove the craft
towards destruction.

All the ship's canvas consumed,
stitched into shrouds for too many
burials at sea.

The ship of fools meets
at last with destiny.
Endurance
His destination
seems never to come closer.
What waits for him there?

Waterside

Completely absorbed.
The solitude they're sharing
might contain all of their lives.

Neither can believe
that a moment like this can
ever have occurred before.

The poem is a comment on an image posted by *Corvidae65

To give John the appreciation he deserves, you can find his picture here: [link]

I would also like to dedicate this poem to two old friends, who cannot be kept apart even by the Atlantic Ocean.

Because we do occasionally discover moments outside of time.
