Mark Heathcote Poems

Only alcohol can thaw me now
with my head spinning around
I'm questioning my every missing avow.
Wondering why I'm lying on the ground.
...

I’ve put the sun down
I haven’t go time to brows…
Or chew the cud.
I’m just here to milk the cows…
...

I have a fire chord in my heart
It's not like a violin or a harp
But it's just as heavenly,
When the world is cold
...

Have I been frozen out?
And have I grown in discontent
A purple violet
With a darkening portent:
...

Fire a burning arrow cupid
One that has struck its victim
The way a bleeding arrow should
Find me a lover never tiresome.
...

Why does a woman amplify her mind?
Speak forty words when one will do
God only knows now how I'm resigned
To get shot of this stubborn mule
...

I've got pain but let me take a litmus test
Cause now I'm in over my head
And blood is coursing a crimson red
Rage and anger contort to a breaking thread
...

At the centre of gravity
Is weightlessness…?
Calm before the storm
Where the eye of silence
...

Desire is just the cream topping
life is a 5-course meal
and I want my pudding.
Baby, crackling heat is just the starter.
...

If you give him too much pressure
And he’ll start running…
And claim in his defence
He isn’t in love with you!
...
