Watching Die Hard

Bruce looks like a half naked bloodied angel -

Barefoot, he slays henchmen -

The sneering villain wears a beautiful suit -

Flames devour policemen -

Bruce aims his unfailing gun -

Welcome to the party he says -

How he whoops

When I'm in darkness, I think of Jake -

How he fills my life with joy -

How he whoops when he catches balloons -

Rise in Glory

I heard them; outside The Boston Tea Party - 

Clasping bibles, fervent tongued -

Rise in Glory -

Death is not in the end -

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 -
