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.

The headline news on monday,

filled everyone with dread.

It revealed we’d outlive our children,

because they’ve all been over fed.

 

On Tuesday, they reversed this fact,

saying children would now reach a ton,

which put the smile back on our face,

and another crisis was won.

 

On Wednesday the news was dire again.

‘One in five children would be an alcoholic

by the time they reached fifteen because,

we’ve set them free to frolic?’

 

On Thursday devastation came,

in the form of a bolt from the blue.

They said ‘Don’t save for retirement,

because you’ll all be dead by fifty two’.

 

By Friday we were worried sick,

and banned the ‘switching on’ of the TV.

We decided to withdraw our savings,

and go on a final spending spree.

 

By Saturday, we were almost broke,

not but a cent did we have to our name,

as we’d booked a last fabulous holiday,

for the next day, to escape all the pain.

 

By Sunday, we were  set to go,

‘sodding them all’ and doing what we like,

until, on the radio, we heard the news,

that airport workers had all gone on strike!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One cannot fail to be acutely affected,

sad news cuts through the heart like a spear.

One cannot fail to be knocked over sideways,

whilst wiping away a released held back tear.

One cannot fail to be instantly reminded,

that on earth, time is surely running out.

One cannot fail to feel ones mortality,

and wonder what life’s truly about.

One cannot fail to turn back the pages,

though, what’s there is still written in stone.

One cannot fail to be troubled by heartache, but

what’s done is done, now your life is your own.

Let’s forgive and forget

and start anew,

and put behind us

what makes us feel blue.

 

Let’s look each other

once more in the eye,

without accusation or

further decry.

 

Let’s bond and have sex –

no better was there

when I came on the table,

with you in mid air!

 

Let’s at least try to recall

what we did back then

When you were young and virile,

with ink in your pen.
