Mark Heathcote Poems

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.
...

If I am, suspended
Sleeping on purple heliotrope
If you feel too abject to dignify
Or descry there is still any slim hope.
...
