Goodbye
The pallid frost of her skin
shone a winter's moonlight
Her tributaries of ocean blue
fell tranquil
Gently sagging into noble retirement
Her last breath
fondly drifting through familiar chambers,
extinguishing each final lustre
of home
It groaned a sweet goodbye
Time to rest, ma'am
Time to rest

Our Lily
Our lily of the valley
Has shed her petals free
To drift upon the winds of time
In her own sweet Galilee
The Mother of our nation
So long its beating heart
Offers her earthly shell to rest
For her soul must now depart
So free it roams, through gilded vale
And bonny lochs & moors
Past stag & hare, & fragrant fayre
To dusk's misty allures
Where ...

Affirmations for my mother
You are a woman,
beautiful,
black,
God’s masterpiece,
created with
majestic power
and divinity—
The type of woman
who could never
be tamed
or possessed.
One deserving of
love, respect,
and civility.

Beauty Song
Don't wear contact lenses
Your eyes are my Ocean
Let me feel your lovely senses
And see you my Queen.
Don't use makeup material
Just be same as you are
Rosy cheeks are really natural
looks for me as star.
Don't cut your shiny hair
I love it to become so long
Set free your hair to air
And let me enjoy the song.

King 1 - Queen 2
Wath - Queen of Villages reigned
in her flower garden
her turnip grubbing fields
her pig pens and her byres
subjects tugging forelocks
native speech a country slide
years before the pits
-
When Wigan coalpits died
the King - black in workings underground
emerged in Wath to drag her subjects down
drawing men across the border

Jubilee
Two ladies, late eighties: one flicking
the pages of Majesty magazine
to pass the time, but still a believer;
the other preparing to sail down
the Thames in a royal barge.
Yachts, palaces, castles, state visits,
breakfast cereal in Tupperware cartons.
Happy holidays in the Isles of Scilly,
bereavement, confusion, incontinence.
One paid her care home fees by se...

Sir Bruce Forsyth - Knight of the Realm
"Nice to see you
To see you nice".
Tip-tapping in waistcoats;
On the noble steed that is
Tess Daly.
Wielding his chin
Like a sabre,
And winning the nation's
Favour, "'Cos
That's the name of the game".
He's not a king,
Queen or Jack.
He's not even "higher
Or lower" - he's a knight!
Bruce Forsyth:
Knight of t...
