This will be the last I write for a good while.

Poetry has to be basically and physically ripped out of me to write these words.

It doesn't come easy and I need to concentrate on other things.

I will comment - "always polite on site" but I've written a lot of gut wrenching stuff in what is a relatively short period of time and I need to concentrate on other things.

Thanks to everyone who has been kind enough to read my words but I do need to work on other things.

Thanks everyone

Dave Page

*************************************************

Looking into my eyes deeply
She mentally place her hand in my throat
And seeking deeper and found my socks
Re-inforced of course
In colours of yellow tigers
Displaying themselves
In couldn't care less items of activity

Deeper were the shoes uncleaned
But waxed with Goose Grease and Blacking
As were the laces
Sticking
With the beauty of upwardness
Glowing in the dark daze of grease
To match
A missing hair wash

Mentally using both hands she sought through the body
Searching for some hidden idol or idle of development worth
In my toes I told the workers to shut up shop
Catch a train and commute home
In my shoulders I told them to sink deeply into a surface
In my arms I said "relax" sink resting
In my stomach echoed a thin twisting coil reaching unto a sky I have no meaning off

I reached into the Cosmic thunder as movement worked in a sated me
That took the world and said, "I am yours" in this feeling
Drifting in an image I lived a lifetime
And yet although I learnt
I would not repeat this lesson
To learn my futility desires of power dominating in a beautiful moment of knowledge

This line stuck with me the most Dave.
Go on your journey and know that we will all be here when you return. Peace.
