To love and know no future is in sight
To want and know to have cannot be right
To need and suffer pain not worth the fight
To lose and never know love’s dizzy height
April 6, 2012
A life lived together
hand in hand
as the years go by
A friendship so true
side by side
until the rivers run dry
I wasn’t asleep, honestly, I wasn’t
I was merely snoozing, just having forty winks
Taking a nap
Nodding off momentarily
After a few drinks
I wasn’t snoring, honestly, I wasn’t
I was deeply sighing whilst taking long blinks
Having a breather
Drifting off therapeutically
Chasing the sphinx
To touch a melting snowflake
And experience the momentary magic
Is nothing short of a miracle
To catch your passing smile
And experience a swell of emotion
Is nothing short of exhilarating
To see your goodbye wave
And experience your departing
Is nothing short of devastating
Sprinkle the earth
on top of the coffin
He won’t be coming back
He’s happy now and where
He wanted to be.
The will to live had left him
Now they’re back together,
Don’t you see?
In life they were as just one
In harmony, two hearts did gel
Without her, the flame went out
And he became an empty shell.

The swine
The cad
The ‘Jack the lad’
I’ll have his guts for garters
I’d like to lock him in the stocks
And at him – whiz tomarta’s
His roving eye
His velvet tongue
His bald head doesn’t stop him
He thinks he’s ‘it’
But he’s in for shit
And that’s only for ‘starters
I never got in touch Mum
I should have done, I know
Time melted into years
And cold winds, they did blow
I never got to know you
I got on with my life
And now I have become
A mother and a wife
I never meant to hurt you
Though you hurt me so much
We’re as silly as each other
For we neither got in touch
I never did forget you
But it was hard to forgive!
Old wounds fester slowly
And it’s a fast life that we live
I never can repay you
For my life turned out Ok
The choice you made was for the best?
Let’s just look at it that way

When the hurt and the
Heartache have become
Embedded in the sand
Out of nowhere an angel
Will take your hand.
Foibles and fantasies
Fresh water fish
Deep sea divers
Survivors, opportunists
Crabs and mollusc
Dolphins leaping
Sharks never sleeping
A universe forgotten
And still we dare to sail on!
Fine and dandy
Loose and randy
With legs akimbo
She’ll finish up bandy
