Mark. A Heathcote Poems

Tintagel Castle 

where King Arthur once ruled
...

loneliness
it's like a prayer unanswered
the jukebox's last song
*
...

ultimately
destiny is an illusion
all journeys end
...

you torment me
with your kisses of moonlight
apple blossom
...

Life is a long, open road.
With few pit-stops or fuelling stations
Many, therefore, check the rearview mirror.
As it's a road over ravines and mountains
...

I shall be invisible.
A force pushing you on
taking you to destinations
You've always longed
...

You know we are all the same shade of grey.
I guess only the strength of the sunlight
makes it different when we're anchors aweigh
It's the same destination gunfight.
...

Amaryllis - love-struck
her heart was for his taking
Keep it, said Alteo
*
...

love—I defy
anything preconceived—but
haven't we met before?
*
...

given yet another
white wash the canvas resists
transformation
...
