Mark Heathcote Poems

Lovers in the sixties would light up
one another's cigs
in a cherished moment each-inhale
the others after sex.
...

God, during our life's rites rite of passage
Will we have us walk on the ashes
Surmount the insurmountable-
Summit, unfailing, and gather courage.
...

The sun of love
…In the life of a star
I have kissed.
...

Even if you don't believe in a god.
You have to understand there-is-good
There-is-evil and address, which side you're on.
And, whatever side you lean
...

I work for that bedrock of stones
to buy me only a few stale loafs
I work for that paycheque
I work my fingers to the bone
...

They who say their love will never die
Their-love will reach above the sky,
And part souls as one persona
Lie around in just their fauna?
...

Marmalade Mountains
Sticky steps, let's keep our self's in time
Climb or decline
Let us fall in love without regrets.
...

Your cares are like distant whispers
Just how did you miss me?
When you went away
How did you turn away and not kiss me?
...

Your body is living water
How can I survive without?
A long tall glass of water
Sparkling or flat no matter
...

This life's as fickle as an ocean shadow
it's as pervasive to capture as a cloud.
Our lives are as fleeting as an arrow
momentarily passing on disavowed.
...
