Gerard Heathcote Poems

Both she and I know the truth about
what she did; and each time she looked in
...

A gloomy day fades away
into the evening shadows
Not cast by the purity of the sun
but man made in shops and cafes
...

A flower in winter is natures rarity
A season for that which has no belonging
Market shelves scented from distant shores
challenge decembers dark and dreary afternoon
...

Autumn is a bridge of sorrows
A duelled weapon in Gods Hand
We say goodbye to the suns warmth
And look forward to empty weeks
...

Black shines in the deepest dark
Ebony sticks and makes it’s mark
This night of sorrow no dreams to share
Through my eyelashes I feel your hair
...

Dark alleys draw my search in vain
Blind corners tax my heart and brain
Loneliness let it chance to shine
Can we switch to zero time
...

The sea is boundless to infinity
Awakened in the half light of dawn
Skimmed by a shallow wind
Whispering spray in a rainbow cloud
...

Here again the poets tail
Months gone by but still I fail
It’s time to write of you and me
To show I care I hope you’ll see
...

Each day goes by I wonder why
I sit and stare and gently cry
This solid wall reminds me sure
Our love I wanted to endure
...
