Mark Heathcote Poems

I'm hungry I hope you'll feed me
Meg Myers lyrics haunt me haunt me
I'm hungry I hope you'll feed me
I'm a blowfish, how do you see me
...

Onwards, onwards always looking forwards
From left of field, I saw you lose your crown
There momentarily get taken to the stockades
They beat you kicked you royally, like a clown.
...

Sometimes a seed will not grow
from one burnt corner to another
as though a yellow laburnum
had poisoned the sky and earth?
...

Someone, somewhere
maybe, not everywhere-
shall refuse to say, grace.
Shall not - step forwards ever.
...

Mr—you can kiss me if or when I ask.
But do not sir not ever before
Mr—you may touch me a little if I grasp
But don't ask what I'm looking for?
...

I have not-love, enough-
to tempt birds from trees
nor even less the angels
on an ever static breeze
...

If you but wish to turn the keyhole
I'll give you a Skelton key
I give you my soul'
My hearts love' abiding beauty.
...

Soft whispers.... quiet hushes
The silent moments
Where movements take over
Words cannot describe
...

My heart is a cactus flower
Unwilling to bend
Unwilling to wilt
Unwilling to die
...

Love you've got beauty
In abundance oh so rare
It's wild and it's-earthly
-golden as buttercups in your hair
...
