Mark Heathcote Poems

My heart keeps pounding against yours.
My heart keeps pounding against heavens doors.
Damned if I do, damned if you don't love me too
Oh, my heart it's yours
...

What leverage child does?
Your heart, hold over me.
My child and why do I weep
Tears of happiness…
...

But why did their flights-first-foil lose fain
With those darker nights, we're all pertain
To love - of course, it was that first dusk
The first of rose's resident in her musk
...

Oh my hearts porous to ultraviolet light
On any given night I’m with you
Tracing strands of moonlight.
...

Mr Valentine
Find me a cupid's arrow
Mr Valentine
Shoot it through her heart
...

Let your fruit be your pastor
Let them your children feed your soul
Let them be your final parade
Let it rain with hands and feet
...

The ramblers they're out gambling
They've left their valleys to dream
They've left their shepherdesses in the field
Beneath a full vacant opaque moon
...

Home is where we begin to heal,
life is a straitjacket
I wish I could just take-off-this-vest
because home is the place
...

The frozen ground is all around me.
I want spring to come soon.
And show me who I am.
...
