Harry Cliffe

For my “good” friend Pat Cliffe”

 

Harry Cliffe

 

It was only sperm

But was covered in love

Brought Harry into our

Arms...

But you decided I was no good

 

Stopped the visits

And phone calls

 

The memories of pretend sword fights

And creating the football player you called “ Bob Sponge” on now ancient PS2

Fading like the picture of you ten years of age

 

How old are you now ?

What did you do today ?

I hope no one hurt you

If they did I’d love to be there to take the pain away

 

If you see this post

Googling your name

Remember your father is always here

Loving you

And your name 

◄ Slapping Christ’s face

Nothing to say .... ►

I like the nuances here with the flashes of real life. Very well done poetry capturing life. Thanks, and bravo.
