Gerard Heathcote Poems

You broke my heart into a million pieces
With a blunt pick axe that never ceases
Like a stuck record jumps it’s groove
To repeat the blow to somehow prove
...

Disguised in a bright sunny day
The distance belies across the bay
Clear and bright the air and sea
Cliffs seem close as you and me
...

Arnie’s black with some grey hairs
He sits and watches on your stairs
His eyes are bright alert and green
Nothing moves and goes unseen
...

A song of sorrow birds’ incant
By the Helford river trees whisper
In my ear I feel the echo of your voice
Long gone the reality of partings choice
...

My mind has been stolen I have no control
I can’t get rid of this tormented soul
You may laugh concealed in the dim light
We mask our feelings with happy smiles
...

We met in cyberspace
Can this be a disgrace
Computers filled with numbers
To find a mate for our slumbers
...

Well there she is what a show
Long blond hair face aglow
I think our eyes locked a while
She certainly didn’t run a mile
...

We have to live with what we’ve got
But I wont tighten the nooses knot
Accept and be thankful they all say
To hell with those who kneel and pray
...

This bed is king size made for two
It’s wide enough for me and you
I lie awake each night and say
Paint on the wall’s fading away
...

In the morning of life, when its cares are unknown,
And its pleasures in all their new lustre begin,
...
