WE WERE ONCE INSEPARABLE # 1

 

We were once inseparable

Soul mates incarnate

Held by an eternal bond

As strong as tungsten

Yet soft as pure silk

I thought our union

Would last for ever

Even to the end of eternity

But the bonds that held us

Have disappeared

Like tears in the rain

GOOD BYE BABY DOLL

 

You lie alone

So small, so fragile

Boxed like a doll

In a toy store window

Where passers by say

“It’s almost lifelike”

But you are not a doll

You are not for sale

For you are not whole

The essence that was you

Has left you empty

Like a box within a box

You lie alone

Your angelic soul

Was borne to heaven

On the wings of a dove

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN HER THE WORLD

 

I would have given her the world

I‘d have written her name in the stars.

I would have given her what was mine

And not demanded that it be ours

Or I’d have sold my soul to the devil

Yes I would have done all this

I would have done all this and more

And in return, receive a single loving kiss

I WOULD PUT YOU ON A PEDESTAL

 

I would put you on a pedestal

and prostrate myself before you

I would worship you like a god

I would proffer my heart

On an ornate silver platter.

For your avaricious consumption

I would give you all my love

Unconditionally, unrequited

And thank you for your indifference

I would cherish you in my life,

Even if you broke my heart in pieces.

I would look upon you lovingly

And gratefully receive your look of disdain

All this I would happily endure

Just to feel, for the briefest moment

The warmth of your embrace

ALL FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE

He carried her books home from school

All for the sake of love

They kissed on the back row of the pictures

All for the sake of love

They walked down the aisle in June

All for the sake of love

they happily lived in a one bedroom flat

All for the sake of love

They worked hard and scrimped and saved

All for the sake of love

They became a family in a bigger home

All for the sake of love

She divorced him after five years of marriage

All for the sake of lust 

ARE YOU WEARING A BLACK BODY STOCKING?

 

Are you wearing a black body stocking?

No I can assure you my tone is not mocking

And though the view may be thought shocking

It will certainly bring admirers flocking

THERE IS KNOWLEDGE I NEED TO KNOW # 14

 

There is knowledge I need to know

I used to know but I since forgot

If a synchronized swimmer drowns

Do the rest of the team drown or not?
