**You Were There

To be More
is everything
you're hungry for
Only your touch on this
moment is too fleeting
to generate anything but
leftover memories of a tradition
A collision of time revealing
in a blur of headlights
what you'd written on the
windowpane once
"I was here"
So be here
with me
then

**Who's Responsible For This?

I should be afraid
Of what blossoms in the
shadow of a world where
fear is a piano forte we've
all learnt to play
The self righteous
crack of gunfire muzzling
the grim sound of glass
crumbling into the
grave dust staining our
hands with the blood
of innocents
And I am
Aren't you?

**Fahrenheit Something Or Other

There is no more
Effectual way of stifling
The hard fought freedoms
That have proven so fragile
Than by barring us
From anything that might
Be called
A strategy that oddly
Echoes on paper
And in every other way
A blueprint of oppression
I recognise all too well

**A Losing War**

A fallen shield mirrors
The red of the sinking sun
Staining the edges of
Battered armour where
Where crimson life bleeds
Into rust and pours out what
Remains of a broken heart
In a glass coursing with
The poison of betrayal
Love is a battlefield
And I tire of this war
