Mark Heathcote Poems

I'll swallow the sun, a segment of you
And watch the flowers dancing in the dew
And darling, you with eyes of violet-blue.
I'll watch the hummingbird in restless flight
...

I believe this midnight won't last
Although always in the wrong
Every fight has a looser and a victor
So I've got to display my plumage
...

Whatever dire situation - it blooms
It wears its dark parasitic consumes
It never freezes or covert the moon
like a lover missing the sun in June
...

If you were a chess piece, what would it be?
King, rook, bishop, Queen, knight, or pawn
If you were a chess piece, what would it be?
Or would you pretend not to care and yawn?

Joy Division - Atmosphere 2/9/80 release date
displayed in Ken Palk's record shop Knutsford.
Joy Division is a band I came to love accidentally
The 12-inch cover of Atmosphere was top-notch.
...

Ian Kevin Curtis was a singer, songwriter and musician,
Who had a dark baritone voice and a dancing style his own?
A well-read boy said to be an intelligent child, displaying
A flair for poetry. Not with anger but with energy and mood.
...

From fauna to deserts, bone-dry
Coastal skies are all around us, changing
From morning till dusk in the sky
The star's apparatus is like the big top circus
...

They say today won't happen tomorrow.
And tomorrow won't happen today.
And all we've got is this one moment now
to experience and explore anything anyhow.
...

Return to me with kisses today.
And I might dream like it was yesterday
when first we kissed.
And you bit my bottom lip with passion,
...

People often say to me things like
you can confide in me
We can share our problems
and make them less problematic.
