    Waste of Life

    When he walked into the room

    He saw her sitting there
    tried hard not to stare
    so he sat in the next chair

    It felt good sitting next to her

    He was thinking of romance
    then someone asked her to dance
    had he missed his chance

    He watched every move they made

    In his head ,he heard alarms
    she looked so settled in his arms
    she was taken by his charms

    They never even spoke

    Never even looked at him
    she stayed all night with Jim
    made him feel really grim

    At the end of the night

    He saw them both leave
    she was hanging on his sleeve
    in his heart how he did grieve

    He followed close behind

    To the last strains of the band
    but he could not understand
    they were walking hand in hand

    Suddenly they stopped

    He pulled her into a shop door
    all over her, his hands did paw
    he stayed back ,he was not sure

    He watched as Jim mauled her

    Then Jim took a kiss
    He then clenched his fist
    to intervene could not resist

    He pulled him off her

    What are you doing she said
    He punched Jim once ,he hit his head
    he did not move he was dead

    She called the police

    He could not move
    didn’t mean it ,can not prove
    now he’s stuck there in a groove

    Now he’s sitting on death row

    It’s really very sad
    for one moment he was mad
    about a love he never had

    True Lies One

    It should not have happened
    But it did happen
    Well I believe it did
    I’m sure it did

    I received a call
    The lady was in distress
    I have two young children
    And my electric has failed

    I responded as a matter of urgency
    I examined the mains income
    The cartridge had been removed
    The metre sealed

    I challenged her
    You have been cut off
    She sobbed and broke down
    I comforted her

    She told me of her partner
    He was an alcoholic
    Gave her no money
    She rarely saw him

    Feeling sorry for her
    I reinstalled her electric
    Breaking the law
    Always a sucker for a pretty face

    She was so grateful
    She kissed me
    I fell for her that minute
    But left as I should

    I sat outside in my truck
    Decided to go get some food
    And some wine maybe
    Then I returned

    I spent the night with her
    Next morning I paid the bill
    Got her power reinstalled legally
    And bought in some supplies

    The days and weeks that followed
    Saw me virtually living with her
    Calling each night
    Eating then sleeping together

    Then about three months on
    I called as usual
    An little old lady answered
    Saying no young lady lives here

    She told me she had resided here for many years
    I had no argument, no proof
    I apologised, but as I left
    I am sure I knew the old lady

    The eyes were famililiar
    The shape of her face too
    Where had I been
    To another dimension ?

    True Lies Two

    I sat peacefully on a side chair
    In silence, to free my mind for a while
    I had neither drink nor drug
    Yet in the calm the room began to spin
    Then to sway, as if a ship in high seas
    In an instance it stopped
    My living room wall appeared to open
    I was lifted and floated toward the wall
    It became clear I was in a shaft
    First of blue crystal like walls
    Then of green
    I was falling at a steady controlled rate
    Till I reached the bottom
    Here a marble like corridor
    Led to a dome like room
    With glittering magenta walls
    Where my floating stopped
    I came to rest in the centre of the room
    From the opposite entrance of arched gold
    Entered a woman, surrounded by an aura
    She was as a goddess, in white robes
    With long golden hair to her waist
    Soft white complexion and blue eyes
    She beckoned me to come forth
    Mesmerised as if under a spell
    I succumbed to her will
    She seduced me, taking all that she wanted
    It was an unbelievable experience
    Never before have I felt so satisfied
    Then I was washed by two maidens
    And massaged by a dark skinned
    Angelic like woman
    She too took what she wanted of me
    I was then returned to my living room
    Via the way from whence I came
    I have tried to create the situation again
    But have not returned to that place
    Though I have been to others
    They are stories for another time

    True Lies Three

    As I approach the edge of the cliff
    Suddenly I start to drift
    Floating down as if in a dream
    Toward a dark and murky stream
    Dwarfs working with axe and pick
    Cutting rock both thin and thick
    Collected up by industrious elves
    Who sort them on to slate like shelves
    Pixies with clip boards looking busy
    Rush around and make one dizzy
    Grumpy goblins looking wise
    Sit around and supervise
    Amid this industrious scene
    Are waiting boats upon the stream
    There’s cave upon cave carved in the rock
    Just like some high rise block
    What is this place to where I go
    I see a sign saying Baffin Blow
    Stand aside a gruff voice said
    If you don’t you’ll loose your head
    Then a heavenly maiden supreme
    Is heralded as fairy queen
    All creatures bow their head to greet
    One dwarf made to kneel at her feet
    Off with his head the crowd does scream
    Then all of a sudden I am seen
    Get him, get him is the cry
    I run and then I start to fly
    Then to a shaft of light I flee
    In an attempt to get free
    Then in a sudden almighty flash
    Upon the cliff top I do crash
    So curious I approach the edge again
    But all below is drab and plain
    A deserted quarry is below
    So rough and arid nothing can grow
    No mention can I find of Baffin Blow
    Where was this place that I did go ?
