Beautiful Things

My pain is bright 

like a knife

like a flame

It burns and it cuts

Slices from my 

Three second life of now

And now and now

I know I will create and carve 

with  it 

beautiful things

My love is an ocean 

It is pure and deep

Even for my enemies 

And rejectors 

 and retractors

I expect nothing

To love is enough

And I do love and

I am set free by love and it is me

I m stunned by my own stupidities. 

The sheer dumbness

Of us all. 

The cruelty and carelessness

of our short shot time

Humanity alone naked  in the stars

Driving around in cars 

to shop

at Tesco. 

Among the shelves

In the grey day rain

One person loving another

It’s enough, it’s enough

Its more than enough 

It is everything
