THE ENDLESS PAVEMENT

 

The endless pavement

Eats away the leather

Wears away my soles

And with each step

My spirits erode

Until I am threadbare

And broken

With worn out soles

On the perpetual pavement

LIFE ETCHED IN MY FACE

 

Life etched in my face

Each line speaking for me,

Of an action or an event

But the presence of each

Is a part of the whole

That is the complete me

YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU

 

“You can’t take it with you”

That’s what they say

But at the end of the day

A will is a dead giveaway

A BICYCLE COULDN'T STAND UP

 

A bicycle couldn't stand up

Alone it transpired

Because after a cycle

It was obviously two tired

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 152

 

Little Bo-peep has lost her sheep

And doesn’t know where to find them

Silly cow

ARE YOU WEARING LIPSTICK?

 

Are you wearing lipstick?

Well to avoid looking like a dipstick

You might want to adjust it a bit

Maybe you could tone it down

Before you go off to town

You don’t want to look like a clown

I HAD A VIVID DREAM

 

I had a vivid dream

And you were there

Lovely as the day we met.

I smelt your perfume

It was heavenly

A fragrance so evocative

I was intoxicated

It was blessed Euphoria.

I felt your caress

Tender like the first time

It was so real

My flesh tingled

The hairs on my neck stood up.

I kissed your lips

Like I did so many times

And my heart missed a beat

Just as it always did.

I would have stayed with you

Forever in your embrace

I wanted to stay

But I was dragged away

To awake in the real world

Where you no longer reside

And I was once again alone

But for a short time

I had you back

Even if it was just a dream

But what a special dream

A priceless dream

A dream, that if I could

I would dream again and again
