Waste of LifeWhen he walked into the room
He saw her sitting there
tried hard not to stare
so he sat in the next chairIt felt good sitting next to her
He was thinking of romance
then someone asked her to dance
had he missed his chanceHe watched every move they made
In his head ,he heard alarms
she looked so settled in his arms
she was taken by his charmsThey never even spoke
Never even looked at him
she stayed all night with Jim
made him feel really grimAt the end of the night
He saw them both leave
she was hanging on his sleeve
in his heart how he did grieveHe followed close behind
To the last strains of the band
but he could not understand
they were walking hand in handSuddenly they stopped
He pulled her into a shop door
all over her, his hands did paw
he stayed back ,he was not sureHe watched as Jim mauled her
Then Jim took a kiss
He then clenched his fist
to intervene could not resistHe pulled him off her
What are you doing she said
He punched Jim once ,he hit his head
he did not move he was deadShe called the police
He could not move
didn’t mean it ,can not prove
now he’s stuck there in a grooveNow he’s sitting on death row
It’s really very sad
for one moment he was mad
about a love he never hadby William A Edge

True Lies OneIt should not have happened
But it did happen
Well I believe it did
I’m sure it didI received a call
The lady was in distress
I have two young children
And my electric has failedI responded as a matter of urgency
I examined the mains income
The cartridge had been removed
The metre sealedI challenged her
You have been cut off
She sobbed and broke down
I comforted herShe told me of her partner
He was an alcoholic
Gave her no money
She rarely saw himFeeling sorry for her
I reinstalled her electric
Breaking the law
Always a sucker for a pretty faceShe was so grateful
She kissed me
I fell for her that minute
But left as I shouldI sat outside in my truck
Decided to go get some food
And some wine maybe
Then I returnedI spent the night with her
Next morning I paid the bill
Got her power reinstalled legally
And bought in some suppliesThe days and weeks that followed
Saw me virtually living with her
Calling each night
Eating then sleeping togetherThen about three months on
I called as usual
An little old lady answered
Saying no young lady lives hereShe 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 ladyThe eyes were famililiar
The shape of her face too
Where had I been
To another dimension ?by William A Edge

True Lies TwoI 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 timeby William A Edge

True Lies ThreeAs 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 ?by William A Edge

A Womans Dream (Acrostic)Gentle and kind ……..
Ever thoughtful………
Never angry………….
Trustworthy and honest
Loving and caring…….
Efficient in all he does
Mindful of her feelings.
Aware of her needs……
Noble in his morals…..by William A Edge
