If only instincts were acted upon.
If only courage could replace fear.
The first step is worth a million more,
and really, what’s left for you here?
If only hardships were delete able.
If only strength could be gained from a tear.
The first kiss is worth a million more
So leave now whilst the path is clear.
What fool, whilst on a whim,
would leave for pastures new, in order,
a better lifestyle to pursue?
What fool, without a care,
would seek out greener grass, only to
end up in some concrete underpass?
What fool, who saw the folly of his ways
would disappear and put himself to graze?
What fool, who stark reality could not face
would regret forever, fleeing his home base?

Raunchy Roxy, giving it some welly
on saturday night in front of the telly.
Dancing naked, apart from her beads
which she expertly manoeuvres as
her hungry man pleads.
She prances left and right – and the beads
flying over her shoulder, as excitement
starts to build, and she feels a little bolder.
‘Come and get me, big boy’ she exclaims
with wild desire, as her beads go whizzing
passed him – her hungry eyes on fire.
‘That vodka and coke was worth every dime’
her man thinks as he watches
Roxys body, on him climb.
The beads create the mood as she caresses
him with pleasure. ‘Oh bloody hell’ he thinks –
to the occasion can he measure?
He really doesn’t stand a chance,
her beads just drive her wild. Maybe they
were a fetish, she had when once a child?
Next day the beads have vanished, they
are safely tucked away, and her man crawls
from the sheets – he’s lived to see another day.
He smiles throughout the week, he really
loves his beaded lover, though he worries
it takes so long, from the ordeal, to recover!
Ever beckoning, ever taunting,
ever constant, but rarely understood.
Showing no respect for work in progress,
it is the sub conscience, arch enemy of good.
The harmful interloper, that spreads
through the mind like a plague, yet
sits quietly in the background unnoticed,
a picture of innocence and somewhat vague.
It doesn’t go by any set time scale, nor
any deadline date to work back from.
Though almost unseen, it is ever present
and as destructive as the atom bomb.
She’s refreshingly unpredictable,
some might say a touch crazy,
but there’s no harm in the lass,
none at all.
To know her was to behold
the beauty of simplicity.
She was an earth mother,
and natural nurturer.
She was a kind person who
bore no malice, and such joy
to be around, was dear old
aunty Alice.
She’s an innocent soul who’s lost
control, but her intentions are good.
She just approaches life from an obtuse
angle because she’s wired differently.
In her head there is chaos and clutter.
She speaks from the heart without
agenda or chart.
She’s an open book, with a raw outlook
and has an impartial view, but as a friend
she’s honest and true.
They’ve pulled the plug,
now they’re in the mire.
All assets gone, times
are really dire.
Only charcoal embers
remain from the fire.
Gone in a flash
like a funeral pyre.
She was a virgin of her own choosing.
Not yet de-flowered, a sexual coward,
and heiress of untrodden sand.
Her body a temple, a shrine,
a wonderland of undiscovered treasure,
and only she held the key in her hand.
She shuffled around the house with the
broom handle under her arm. She said
it was more reliable than a walking stick.
She loved going to funerals. She said
they were a refreshing change.
