Mark Heathcote Poems

Dependent on her and me her lover
Oh how I’m affected by the weather
How she’s affected by my whatever
...

Come and kiss me
My little dreadlock angel
Dance with the lamb,
I'll give you no quarter
...

You're a weight
Not off my mind but on my mind.
At times my love
You're like uncorked champagne.
...

As one foot steps in front-of-another
the beating heart perceives every journey
a fight over right and wrong - together
in-tandem, act as a trial attorney.
...

peace - still reflection
two lancet butterfly wings
light - souls allowance
...

What happens when your house
becomes a riverboat?
A boat that neither swims
with the current or float.
...

Some see white, some see black
Some grey, some are just out of whack!
Need a visit to their local quack.
...

Your birth wasn't it a doorway
A passage into death's kingdom
Didn't you sit head of its throne?
Making light work of it, atom!
...

Loving you, it's much like
waiting for a postcard
it's quite unsportsmanlike
ah, nothing to safeguard
...

… Now don't ask me how
Our hearts came by valour
Yes, I too will disavow
That you or I ever knew.
...
