Rhythms of Sunday Chapel and the Rhymes Within

Summary:
Have my own personal r'ship with God, but only went 'cos my beautiful friends were having a child baptised (or whatever they call that thing with a font). Was it blasphemous to think of a lady naked as the vicar rattled and rattled. Had to raise an ironic smile as the Dad and me were once soccer hooligans.

Saturday’s sunset 

cracked the pavements of my skin, 

I only flirted with the waitress 

to keep my mouth moving 

 

Becoming mute was just a covenant 

between redemption, forgiveness and 

the snow – shuffling into dark clouds  – 

waiting to fall backwards  

 

The rainshiver smells of Thursday 

dreaming of an email which never arrives, 

‘the daughters of weather forecast’ predict 

there may be a love storm on her way 

 

Can you see the blindness in my eyes 

feel the pulse of my oh-so shrinking heart. 

Tell the Nurse I need to be resuscitated 

how many ships have harboured and just left?  

 

Tears may fall as mountain scree 

but I’ve already undressed you, 

stand naked until my hands and lips 

are mere hymns upon your skin 

 

Once upon a tide 

just fucking let me drown 

take the blade you carve Sunday roast 

and place it across my throat

    1. Your ability as a writer always makes me interested in reading what you offer today. This is mainly why I find a site to frequent. Not for my own accolades, but to be energized by others’ writes. You do that, consistently. Bravo

      • And this is why I am so pleased I returned to the keyboard a decade ago. I was chatting to our great friend Honoria earlier and I’d love for us all to meet under U.S of A skies.

        p.s. I will have British marines as bodyguards, for some insecure Yanks hate me. Lol. It’s always a pleasure my friend
