I miss you

Phil Lister3 Comments

You know I miss you

It started with a kiss

A regard

A respect

And it escalated so quickly

I felt loved

I felt drugged

I felt in love

Every moment awake

Till the time I closed my eyes

I was happy you were there

Time flowed

I can’t explain how easy it was

It just felt good

Till the moment we confessed our love

I would cherish your cuddles

Your warmth

How you looked at me

How you touched me

When we cuddled

I wished to stay so close

To be in your skin

Glued for an eternity

I miss kissing your nose

I miss touching your shoulders

I miss kissing your lips

I miss you

New work

Worth waiting for

Phil Lister3 Comments

I’ve been waiting so patiently

Days

Weeks

Months

Through the cold

Through the rain

The rain always makes me sad

But it’s not so bad

Just not so good

Hoping

To one day glimpse upon you

Your beauty

I can feel the anticipation

It’s been warmer

This is my favourite time

Feeling the sun

I can see you

The first bud

Not long now

Willing

Wanting

Until finally

I see you

You were worth waiting for

Thank you

New work

That first kiss

We used to laugh

When we were young

We used to play

It was so much fun

I remember your smile

Your cheeky grin

All your taunts

You’d get them in

They were never mean

Always just

You always knew

Just how much

I miss you now

As I reminisce

I’ll always remember

That first kiss

1. A note to a depressed soul

Phil Lister1 Comment

When we do everything we can possibly do and nothing is ever good enough.

Why do we continue giving it our all when things do not change?

Is giving up an option?

The next day is always slightly better than the day before, at least the debut.

When we exhale loudly it gives better emphasis.

Why is letting down others worse than letting ourselves down?

Why won’t the crickets shut the fuck up

The sweetest sugars bittersweet

Phil ListerLeave a comment

The breath has gone

The spring too

Even looking at flowers

Just won’t do

The absence raw

Of what once was

Now with certain words

Left with just.. because

It was nice to love again

Even though short and sweet

The sweetest sugars

Have become bitter sweet

Embrace the life

To not rest glum

Not worry about

Finding someone

New work

I pity you

Phil Lister3 Comments

The time I spent

Feeling sorry for myself

Just moping around

Resting on the shelf

Watching myself

From just behind

Wondering how

To get out of this bind

It’s been months now

Maybe even years

I’ve been crying to myself

Inside tears

Still not knowing

The answers

Not even knowing

The questions

How can we start?

If we can’t even finish

My attempt

A pointless gibberish

Pathetic little me

In a cold hard space

I pity you

And your sorry face

New work

I like to listen

Phil Lister1 Comment

I’m trying to enjoy the sounds outside the house

I love to hear the crickets creek

As I’m silent like a mouse

It’s nice to be by the water

Hearing as it flows

Listening out as the cars pass

Oh how they go

The night always brings frogs

Croaking happily

The occasional cat fight

Tearing with their teeth

Now I hear the birdies

Singing to themselves

Nice to lose my thoughts

And be in some kind of peace

New work

Keep it all at bay

Silence torturous

Am I good enough?

Self doubt more powerful

Than any kind of love

I cut myself deep

With every thought I have

Punishing myself

Looking over my back

I’m not good alone

With time to myself

More damage than good

Want to be anywhere else

I want to sleep

For the time to sail away

Fight the hurt impending

Keep it all at bay
