My Desire – 23rd July 1993

There’s a hole in my heart
My desire has left for three days
The intensity of our relationship
Burns brightly as we wait for each other

The emptiness is unbearable
My desire is to be by your side again
So we can stand together
And face the world full-on

25th Aug 2024 – I’m taking a guess at the date and that this is about Bronwyn. I can’t imagine writing that last line when I was with Emma or Cherry but I could be wrong. I do wish I’d dated things that I wrote in the past!

Time – 13th July 1993

Oh sweet gentle time
You tick on by
Restless as the wind, your movement
Forever trudging onward
Breathing life’s soft sigh

You wait for no man it’s said
Your passing is forever
A memory of a moment
Of a second, a thought, a blink of the eye
Is gone in no time

Time is moving on leaving us behind
Now you are my obsession
To catch up, to keep up
To run with the wind
And hold onto you forever

Fruit Salad – 2nd June 1993

The real banana said “You’re an imposter” – she was the apple of his eye. The yellow-skinned imposter smiled. His face twisted like he’d just sucked a lemon.

“No I’m not” he objected. It was their first date. He had sucked her dry. Once a grape, now a raisin.

The man with the pineapple haircut interjected “Excuse me. I don’t think the cream and cottage cheese were necessary in such large amounts.” He thought the imposter was a pervert. He wasn’t wrong. The cream was whipped.

The imposter slipped on the banana. He fell – it was a peach! Caught in the act. Plum-dumb.

Still life isn’t a bowl of cherries.
