I had lost the key

I was unable to enter the beautiful house -

A door barred my way -

I had lost the key -

Watching The Night of the Demon

I imagine seeing a panther in a library -

The yellow eyes in the darkness -

The cruel shape of Karswell's smile -

The slip of paper twisting in my fingers -

My boat snared by coral

Half awake -

My boat snared by coral - 

Far from land -

Violets

Walking towards the heath, we saw violets -

Delicate stars by the side of the lane -

Birds were singing amongst coppiced hazel -

Opulent clouds filled a gentle sky -

Your gift

Your gift was your smile -

Your words -

The way you held me -

The glimpse again I had of you -

The water pearling on your skin -

Driving the heavy Cavalier

I've just read London Fields -

I've seen the moon red as blood -

The low sun in the sky -

Dripping its light -

I've drunk porno in The Golgotha -

I've heard Keith say you don't never show disrespect to the darts -

I've driven the heavy Cavalier -

Jake in The Boston Tea Party

Jake in The Boston Tea Party -

Amongst the young Salisbury creatives -

The courtly tweed -

The dark panelling -

The knotted beams -

Snapping the Mobilo pieces together -

Dreaming of Hotwheels -
