The Perfect Love

We judge

Why do we judge

Why do we criticise

Who are we to critique

 

We hate

Why do we hate

Why do we execrate

Who are we to abominate

 

We pray

Why do we pray

Why do we deity call

Who are we to beg forgiveness

 

We love

Why do we love

Why do we seek connection

Who are we to seek affection

 

We do because we do

Quality Time

This time’s so nice he said

(It’s ours) Free, undisturbed, quality time

No clocks to watch

No whips being cracked

This day is ours

Yours and mine

 

The sun’s so nice she said

(It’s ours) Warm, unperturbed, blasting shine

No rain to wash

No winds to blow

This day is ours

Yours and mine

 

This night’s so nice he said

(It’s ours) Dark, mysterious, totally ...

White Space

Cursor flashing

No inspiration to be found

No thought worthwhile of writing

Wo Wanderin'

Wanderin' and wondering

Many questions in my mind

No answers are forthcoming

As I put the world to rights

 

Wanderin' and wondering

Contemplating life

Thinking what I could've been

If I had really tried

 

But I am me

I'm what you see

And sure I could be more

But this life it is for living

Of that I am so sure

No rehearsal

No second chance

No encor...

Playing the game

Thoughts relinquished

Gentlemen distinguished

Beware of non-conformity

It’s frowned upon if one doesn’t play the game

But playing the game has a price to pay

Conformers get their comeuppance

Playing the game can lead to tragedy

Where lives are lost for tuppence

 

Lie still and even-tempered

Balanced and fulfilled

Truth and thick skin are a must these days

In thi...

Such as life

I’ve searched all day and still can’t see what life is for

Too many disappointments to stay positive

Every other day news story breaks

A baby’s found dead

Father’s crocodile tears by Mummy’s side

 

Don’t look at me that way with that tone of voice

Don’t think the way you do ‘bout me

I’ve made my choice

I’ve searched all day and still can’t find what life is for

Anothe...

Every Thinker

Today was the day before tomorrow even got here

Genius is common sense – fashionistas slim and blonde

Today was the day before tomorrow even got here

The next is far beyond

 

Any common sense is nonsense

Genius – a thin line from insane

Every thinker thinks his life away

Then never thinks again

 

Today was the day after yesterday had been and passed away

Fate is a ...

Girl with no name

People all around, I can’t hear a sound

My thoughts are with the girl with no name

The girl I left behind

Hardly a word was shared

Our eyes met, we just stared

Nothing known about the other

Can fate one day bring us back together?

Another bird flies high

Disappears into the sky

A throw of the dice

Take a chance

Couldn‘t predict

Our 10-second romance

How can I?

Life’s a mystery to me

I don’t know how I get this way

I know what you want to hear

I know what you want me to say

How can I tell you that I love you?

I don’t even love myself

How can I give your life that sparkle?

There’s not even a glimmer in my eyes

How can I hold you in my arms so tightly?

I’m barely holding on

How can I tell you not to worry?

I’m struggling to...
