man in the screen

hello
man in the screen
now the windows have gone

were you always watching me
write the words
sing the songs
sob the tears

or do you appear
only when we’re alone
in the quite night

where do you go
when the smiles
raised by familial girls
quench the sombre days

or when sons ask for help
and worthiness
casts a net
to draw in close

hello
man in the screen
now have they gone

©2009 Hey Hey

are you ...

… sure of this
as the day turns into night
and your vision loses light
that this is …

… all there is
when one hand touches air
and the other touches …
… where …

… are you
in the molecular maze
of continuous days
as true …

… is to
here, and lies
are to
endless skies

are you sure of this …
… where nothing really is
could hands in time be true …
… and is this really you

friends

only friends can hate this way
scars from making love, will stay
like marks that stretch with child
those nights, so mean and wild

forever, a process more than time
resembling comradeship in crime
seeing the worst there is in all
no rise before the fall

the black in words oft said
no kisses fore the bed
and warmth from just one touch
could quench the fire so much

then, a turn to catch those eyes
says all, friends have no surprise

sun

passed that long day
when leaves darken
and corn lightens
lovely moons appear
but the sun will soon be gone

head for the glass house
where the clouds are warm
and the view is clear

but without you
umber skin will fade
when there is no star
no centre stage
