Restless Souls

we are restless souls

alienated by our reluctancy

to mix with fools,

self-appointed Oracles

of a ‘less is more’ survival,

I used to walk miles 

to see you because 

I couldn’t afford the bus fare,

we’d share a single bed

in a squat with a single 

Calor gas heater 

and a broken window,

we were frayed,

with our love

dragged across the coals

but me and you

we’re restless souls

and we’ll never part,

even when we have

to say goodbye forever,

because

forever ain’t so long

and when I welcomely 

pass on, I’ll meet you 

on the broad way 

where you missed your bus,

and our shoulders brushed 

as I was walking off 

a hangover of the century,

it was meant to be,

you and me

because we 

are restless souls
