I will blow kisses across the ocean.

Catch them if you can.

Open wide your eyes and see I love you,

and have, since time began.

 

 

 

 

 

 

He fed her boiled tripe butties

she swallowed them too, with ease,

until it dawned upon her,

that she’d really rather have cheese.

The forgotten Sub sits

sucking his thumb.

Passed over so often,

he has segs on his bum.

 

 

 

 

I  was living my life through her music,

as I watched each of her lovers

come and go with a song.

Some, I hoped wouldn’t linger,

whilst others, I felt did belong.

But the music that came from her bedroom,

broke my heart in many a way,

as I knew that the time was nearing

when her room, in silence, would lay.

Subtlety wasn’t her forte.

Tact was beyond her too.

She just jumped straight in with both feet,

as they squirmed and watched her stew.

and find a free lamppost,

outside in the snow.

 

 

 

 

She said she didn’t like it,

even though she’d never tried it!

She said the smell made

her want to heave.

I’ve known her leave the table

and rush outside to breath.

She was such a flaming ‘Drama Queen’,

you really wouldn’t believe.

 

 

 

 

 

What’s ‘forever’ when you’re

finished, anyway?

It’s only the blue horizon and

no further than the eye can see.

 

Why worry about the future?

We are all but dead leaves on a tree.

None of us being immortal,

nor reaching eternity free.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What have you been up to

my dearest little cherub?

I sense your feeling of elation

I see the sparkle in your eyes.

I know you well enough, to know

I’m due a few white lies.
