Mark Heathcote Poems

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
...

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.
...

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
...

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
...
