All the GoT stuff, 2024.
Apparently this is going to be a load of writing of various types - stories, poems, reviews and, no doubt, just about anything else you can think of. I'll probably update this when I know more.

My Truth

Yes. I know you think so
but what do you feel?
I don’t care what you say,
I can see in your eyes
that you want to say yes;
your attitude gives you away.

I felt that you’d say that,
totting up facts in my face,
as if my truth could be moved
by reason and logic;
not so fast, I return,
it’s my attitude keeps me this way.

No, you’ll not break me down,
for my feelings will weather the storm,
so you’ll not hear me say,
Oh, I see what you mean,
my feet march to other drums;
and it’s attitude leads us astray.

Return

Bianca, it’s you, isn’t it?
I thought when I heard your voice…
and you a detective inspector
after twenty years gone missing
oh, let me look at you
what, you’ve reopened the case?
but you would know more…
did he treat you bad?
I had terrible thoughts
how I missed you, Bianca
but if he never touched you
so many years restrained
I understand
if I’d known who I’d have killed him then
so I don’t see how I can help
so much time has passed
but now you’re back
we can build anew
if you can’t trace him
and I never could
why waste the time that’s left us
with mere revenge
yes, I know it’s justice
but if you’re so intent
he holds you still enchained
but if you must
will you return to me
Bianca?

Coming or Going

They call him mister Yoyo,
always on the go go,
as fast as he appears
he’s off again for beers,
or maybe it’s for lunch,
don’t matter - here’s the crunch,
though he may be here now,
and here’s my solemn vow,
that soon he will be gone
to north or south or yon,
then give him just a while
and he’ll be back in style.

Mirror

Ah, always the same old question
who’s this and who’s that
who’s thinnest, who’s fat
who’s pretty in pink
and never mind the stink
who’s wise as an owl
with a voice that’s just foul
who’s strutting today
will be crawling in May
who sings like a lark
but shouts in a bark
who colours her hair
when nobody’s there
who sings in the bath
a complete psychopath
who fiddles and diddles
in the middle of riddles
whoever asks me again
will hear from me then
I’m only a mirror
and not wisdom’s pillar
now think of another damn question.
