The Love Selection # 4

TRUE LOVE ARRIVED

True love arrived
Like a bolt from the blue
In a chance encounter
At a place and point in time
Someway distant
From that which they should
Separately have occupied
But the fates conspired
A serendipitous event
To bring them, unwillingly,
To that blessed point
Of momentary symmetry
When they glimpsed
Their separate histories
And shared future

THEY WALKED IN SILENCE

They walked in silence
Two halves of a whole
Palm against palm
Soul against soul

IN THE ELASTIC TIME OF DREAMS

In the elastic time of dreams
Where exists a cast of thousands
The impossible is possible
Logic ceases to exist
The living walk with the dead
Rivers flow upstream
The sky is green
The grass is blue
So why with all the infinite possibilities
Of my timeless dreams
Do I only dream of you?

ARROWS DOTH FLY FROM CUPIDS BOW

Arrows doth fly from cupids bow
And an enchanted cascade of arrows
Lays the unsuspecting lover low
Who then his heart he must bestow

HELD IN A CASTLE KEEP

A woman's love
Held in a castle keep
In a prison tower
Where passion cools
And time dims desire
She waits in her prison
And dreams of a knight
Who will release her bonds
Rekindling the fire
And returning her to the world

SWEET LYRICS OF AFFECTION

You whispered words of love
Sweet lyrics of affection
Their sublime sound caressed me
Like a summer breeze
Refreshing sultry skin
Each fresh loving word
Mesmerized me anew
And I knew my heart was lost
And I knew that I was found

YOU BLEW SOFT BREATH

You blew soft breath
On the embers of my memory
And breathed new life into me
Resuscitating a redundant heart
Until I unlearned how to fear
I unlearned how to doubt
I unlearned how to exist
Then I felt the warmth of the sun
Once more on my face
I felt the transformation
From loneliness to loved

RISK

If you wish to achieve
The greatest love
It involves taking a risk
And like achieving
The greatest of goals
Sometimes it means a great risk
But nothing worth having
Comes easy or risk free

I MUST READ BETWEEN THE LINES.

I must read between the lines.
To find the reasons why
So when you say, "I'm sorry",
Look me in the eye
So that I might know
If I caught you in a lie

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

Why in every disagreement
From the first to the last
You don’t stay in the present
You rake up the past
I always fight fair
I nail my colours to the mast
Then your name-calling
Leaves me aghast

A Humourous Collection # 8

IF YOU SHOULD FIND

If you should find
Three hand grenades one day
Take them to a police station
And should one explode on the way
You can tell the police
You only found two anyway

I’M READY FOR A HOLIDAY

I’m ready for a holiday
With blue skies and sand and sea
But so my wife doesn’t get pregnant
I’m taking her with me
MATERNAL ABSTINENCE

My mum never touches strong drink
Which is her defensive buffering
Though not on religious grounds
It would interferes with her suffering

MATERNAL QUALIFICATIONS

Mum should be a parole officer
Because in her defence
With her around
No one finishes a sentence

SHOPPING ASSISTANCE

I went into an electrical shop
And could find no one to assist
I got angrier and angrier
Until finally I couldn’t resist
“Can someone sell me a toaster”
I shouted in a frustrated tiz
A female assistant said “Kenwood?”
I took a deep breath and responded
“Let me explain something Ms
I just want someone to sell me a toaster
I don’t care what his name is”

FROZEN WINDOWS

Bimbette texted Peaches "Windows
@ home, frozen - what should I do?"
Peaches texted back “use some de-icer
Or boiling water will probably do”
Bimbette “OK, computer went bang
And lights have fused too"

CAR DEAL

After passing his driving test, a teenage boy,
Asked his Dad if he would buy him a car
Dad thought about it for a while and replied
“If you do better at school than you have so far,
Go to church every Sunday without fail
And get a haircut. I will buy you a car”

After a few months had passed the boy
Asked his Dad if he would buy him a car
Dad thought about it for a while and replied
“Well you have improved at school by far
And you’ve gone to church every Sunday
But you still need a hair cut, so no car”

The boy replied, “Since going to church
I have learned a very great deal so far
Samson, John the Baptist, Moses and Jesus
All had long hair, so we are on a par"
Dad smiled and said, “They may all have had
Long hair but none of them had a car”

THE END OF ROMANCE

I knew the very moment that
The romance had died, it was after
I drank from my wife’s slipper
And almost choked on a corn plaster

SENIOR REVELATION

One day you look in the mirror
And beneath the lathers
You realize that the face
You are shaving is your fathers

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 259

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Guard the bed that I lie on:
Four corners to my bed
Four angels round my head,
One to watch and one to pray
And two to bear my soul away
This is comforting you may say
But look at it another way
With angels round my bed
And lustful thoughts in my head
I can’t seem to find a way
That I can get my end away

Reading a copy of “Jugs”
Not a classy read
He did willingly concede
But it gave him a couple of tugs

EASTER

EASTER LILY

The Easter Lily
Blooms in the spring
The large white flower
Is beautiful thing
Its trumpet-shape
Says let spring begin

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 254

Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
In January,
In January,
Hot cross buns!
If Tesco don’t have them,
Go to Morrison’s
They have many
They have many
Hot Cross Buns!

CRUCIFIX

You were the love
Of the world
And we nailed you to a cross
We tried to kill love
With nail in hand
And spear in flesh
But we failed
You pleaded for us
Apologised for us
Then you died for us
You’re the love
Of the world

EASTER CACTUS

The Easter cactus
The spring-bloomer
It’s jointed flat Segments
Look like experiments
Made by a young boy
With a construction set toy
But the coral-red flowers
Light up the spring hours

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 255

The Easter Bunny's feet
Go hop, hop, hop.
I want to eat the bunny
I can’t stop, stop, stop.
So I chase him with an axe
Going chop, chop, chop.

EASTER PARADE

In your Easter Bonnet
With all the frills upon it,
You’re never going to wear it?
In the Easter parade.

We’ll all be falling over
As your sitting in your Rover
Coz you’ll be the biggest Charlie
In the Easter parade.

VIA DOLOROSA

The path that Jesus walked
Carrying his cross with him
Was the Via Dolorosa
In the old city of Jerusalem

It was the way of sorrows
The way of grief
The way of suffering
For his life so brief

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 256

We didn't hear the Easter bunny
Hopping down the hall;
He hopped so very quietly,
He made no noise at all!
So we rigged up a trip wire
That he didn’t see at all

ON A HILL IN CALVARY

On a hill in Calvary
In a savage unenlightened time
Nailed upon a rugged cross
By brutal hand
They thought to kill a man
To snuff out his light
That light of purest love
Unquenchable, indestructible
On that hill in Calvary
He died for us
The shadow of that cross
Cast upon the bloody land
Was an illuminating shadow
That spread light and love
Shining across millennia
Unquenchable, indestructible
On that hill in Calvary
He died for us
In that savage unenlightened time
Murdered by brutal hand
Humiliated, dehumanized
But through his love for us
And his sacrifice for us
He redeemed us

EASTER BUNNY

About the Easter bunny
I think it’s really funny
That a big white rabbit
Is in the unusual habit
Of delivering Easter eggs
On his funny rabbit legs
I think it must change
And we must rearrange
So for delivering at any rate
Eggs made of chocolate
Employ a chocolate chicken
That’s what I reckon

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 257

Mr Bunny, Mr Bunny,
Won't you stop, stop, stop?
"No," said Mr Bunny,
I must hop, hop, hop.
So I shot the little bastard

EASTER LILY VINE

The Easter Lily vine
Likes to entwine
This woody Evergreen
With leaves of glossy sheen
The flowers are a showy sight
Of trumpet-shaped fragrant white

EASTER EGG HUNT

When it comes to hiding the eggs
In the garden at Easter
I can actually hide my own now
Thanks to Dementia

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 258

Bunnies are brown,
Bunnies are white,
Bunnies at Easter
Are a chocolate delight

THE SHADOW OF GOLGOTHA

Our lord beaten and bloody
Sent to die like a criminal
To add insult upon injury
Atop his tousled curls
Was set a thorny crown
Pressed into his scalp
He carried his cross
Upon his bloodied back
Through narrow streets
To the baying of the crowds
Then onto the hill of Calvary
Where the prince of peace
Was nailed to his cross of pain
And dealt the final blow
His side pierced by a spear
His earthly life ebbing away
Through the open wound
He called out to God
But not for vengeance
He asked that they be forgiven
And his cross of pain
Cast a Holy shadow
Across the world
That reached every corner
But the shadow cast
Was not one of darkness
But one of light
A divine light
The light of love
Which still shines today
For it is the eternal light of God

EASTER DAISY

The Easter daisy
A dwarf tufted stem-less herb
A rosette of woolly leaves
Its roundness is quite superb
And the large white-rayed bloom
Is the daisies Easter costume

Beyond the bunny rabbit motif

How good you look in your vestments
Can you share any indiscretions?
That you hear during confessions
Oh what a shame you cannot share

And denying yourself the pleasures,
Of plundering earthly treasures
Only to sit each day in confessions
Listening to others sinful discretions
