Patience paved the way but
prompt action saved the day
The vulnerability in the balance
can be the price we pay.
June 12, 2012
I can now stare up at the window
where, once you waved me goodbye.
I can now visit shops we frequented
without a tear in my eye.
I can now pick up your recipe book
and copy your rhubarb pie.
But can I go a day without missing you?
Have you ever known me to lie?
There’s birth and there’s death,
and in the middle is
uncertainty.
Do not fear tomorrow
Just peacefully rest your head,
and sleep until the morning is with you
Then happily dance out of bed.
Feeling refreshed and invigorated,
like a nymph, swinging on a gossamer thread
Let your anxieties and cares go windward
and choose the positive route instead.
‘Life’s gone in a flash’, old folk’s tell us.
We shrug our shoulders and think, ‘Oh, Get real’
But before we know it, another decade has gone,
and we begin to know how they feel.
So do not fear tomorrow
Every second is priceless, be told.
Make all of your time count for something
There’s more to life than a pot of gold.
Lust and all it’s aggravation
The dark side of the mind
I could fill a thousand rivers
With the tears for you, I’ve pined.
With the question of why, never answered
Endless conclusions all seem too real
As fact and fiction merge into each other
The Press, out of it, make a meal.
Sorry, did you just say sorry?
Well that makes two of us, in actual fact.
Worried, did you just say worried?
No, only one of us, with pain is racked.
When flesh is no longer touchable,
and air kisses have blown out to sea.
The memory of you will still linger,
forever in the heart of me.
In the end it did manifest itself.
Like a gurgling zit, out came the puss.
Until they reached the core of the matter
Then put behind them, the terrible fuss.
Bit’s and bob’s of nothingness
arranged daintily around the plate.
Microscopic innuendo,
can SO infuriate.
