Our Bank Holiday
03:53
|

|
You journeyed north, up to Norfolk
Explored the coast with some friends
I walked the Southbank, then Soho
Then back towards the Southbank again
The waters serene and idyllic
The quiet casting quite a spell
I pushed my way through Piccadilly
Past another damn busker who was singing Adele
They threw you a surprise birthday party
Although it was two weeks away
I snuck in a Coke and Bacardi
Alone at a Chinese buffet
You called the coast your sanctuary
Exactly where you wanted to be
It was by the dumb statuaries
In Leicester Square where I ran out of steam
I should’ve said ‘yes’ to the invite, but
My jet lag had other plans
Your Bank Holiday was delightful
Mine was over as soon as it began

The London Dream

I had the London dream again
Hovering mere inches above the Thames
Sitting in first class
Looking out in awe while bracing for the crash
I don’t know why this impossible flight
Sticks to my consciousness
Twenty years have passed
Since the time that I visited last
Yet the imagery persists
And my mind fills in the gaps I might have missed
Some out there only have nightmares
And some don’t dream at all
But my brain wants to keep me entertained
I may hover but I never fall
I had the London dream again
Hovering mere inches above the Thames
And it will be fairly soon
Before I can see how much of the dream was true
