Mark Heathcote Poems

Will I know life and death in paradise?
Will I feel hunger and thirst?
Will I experience warmth even when I'm cold?
Will, I shed tears of happiness when I'm dead?
...

The devil held a satchel and smiled
Like a child, he's going to school...
Like me, he's visiting an orchard
Looking for what's juicy and shines
...

I've dreamed it to be my last
I saved it for you to kiss you well
So take that last final gasp!
...

The fire diamonds of your soul
Leaf through
Snow-packed mountain tops of my own.
Soon there'll be an avalanche!
...

Keep your chin-up girl and smile
Just as smiles resign to smile
Because they have no other choice
Saddens is resigned to flooding
...

So we're soul mates
But what happens when
We behave like primates
And throw out our toys
...

0+0=0
You’ve gotta
You’ve gotta
You’ve gotta
...

'Disordered attachment 'what is it you meant?
'Disordered attachment 'by that...?
What is love when half of our time is spent making-up
And then the other is breaking up.
...

If a stone sinks,
From where was it raised?
If the salts in the sea
Came from you and me
...

Take out my dentures.
Break out my pills
take-off-my spectacles.
Plump up my pillows.
...
