Happy Valentine’s day

Read them a book,
buy them a painting,
go to a circus,
Boat you may be renting
bungee jumping or para gliding,
skiing (definitely the season),
day of silience,
just talk in kisses, smile
frowns for a while
Fill your day with red roses
Play in the garden, water hoses
Whatever you do today
Don’t forget
get flowers on the way 🙂

Trashed, smashed in pieces

listen to a fork on the road,

a dork on the road

a log, was part of a stump,

cut in pieces, left as a rump

million bottles of plastic, rubber dump

thousand refuse sites, garbage jumps

more and more,

more landfill, more to store

future generations,

your future so sore, let’s ignore

this subject so bore,

talk about beauty and glamour

parties and clamour,

for each new product, to throw the old

where, which way, on street,

in what fold, more and more sold

and we are just told,

it is going to be fine,

here is some wine,

I recommend a beautiful place to dine,

they only serve fresh,

any food what is left,

will be not be kept,

goes to a trash

ironic, isn’t it, hash and rehash,

all stories, still they end up in a stash

pilling up, one by one, filing up,

apparently the only reusable

place on this terrain, humble brain

Perhaps one day that become disposable,

human dose-able, with daily intelligence,

throw away your useless thoughts,

apparently they are not polluting,

ignoring what is best,

for next generation and the rest,

we, the self proclaimed lords of this universe,

miserably failing that test,

left in the mouth ignoble taste

Nothing can be undone in haste,

takes time to change behaviours,

million thousands saviours

are required before even first green shoot comes out,

Earth smiles again, the mother who has lost all her

conscientious daughters, valiant sons,

to unnecessary violence and million guns,

can see the revolution, and final resolution to all ills,

annihilation still, being too late, tempting fate’s ironic hand

 

Emotional baggage

Start of an affair
In deep blue sea
bodies get hot
from ever shining sun
minds just wander
into the depth of bay
he sees a girl
with eyes like ocean
Reaching his emotions
nearly drowns
in shallow water
words fumble
slow starter
Finally gather thoughts
Tell her a lie,
Tell her a joke
Make her smile
Make her hope
Get her hooked
start of the day
Let her carry him
All the way!

Host

Above the clouds
In the white gleam
Inspiration from
a beautiful dame
Smile so pure
Welcoming to
the core
Eyes telling
of hope and
Joy endured
Goddess
With her hidden
blushing smile
Makes flowers
Blossom in
a while
Thank you
For being there
and for all
affection
attention
and care

Unending wait at Piccadilly circus

Pulse moving
aimlessly, desire free
Nothing changes
view ranges
far to infinity
devil to divinity
Insinuating lust, love
depends who is
watching, wonder
rain and thunder
thoughts asunder
colossal blunder
Youth plunder
away sense,
nonsense of being
nuisance it seems
of life so far
mere mortal
to a star
reaching highs
suddenly, lies
of day dreams shattered
Touch of loved one mattered
the most, mere thought
of distance takes away breath
filling it with poison air
heart has never been fair
who cares, I don’t, while
I wait in this aimlessly
selfish, devilish crowd
eyes shamelessly
searching, knowing
you will never be back

Parallel

Side by side
you and me
Just a kiss in between
a mere heartbeat
moving in the same direction
same moments
away, alone,
watching, staring
never daring
to change the path
to cross the line
saving parallel
universes
angel, divine
who are you,
can’t be human
as I lay myself bare
waiting for your stare
to touch me somehow

Certainty

There is
no hiding from
or hushing death
Inhale it,
embrace it
Create a full circle
of life and ultimate destiny
Clock strikes twelve
Ready to delve
in secrets unknown

Advice

Be strong
sing the most valiant song
not before long
you will find, your redemption
to your satisfaction
Ignore the rest,
that pain, such hurt,
that kiss and his flirt
Listen to me
treat the past, like filthy dirt
washed up old shirt
Your future is bright
it will have joy and delight
be strong, carry on
kick the tyres,
rekindle fires
within you
to get you through
See to it
Be to it
just don’t ever
never never
Quit

Chasing destiny

Early noon
the day almost lost
looking through
counting costs
deep affection
a sincere host
passionate kisses
knight ghost
her shiny armour
tarnished by lust
devil cravings
did what they must
that much affection
never ever shown
will she be back
it is not known

Heavens

Flying through the clouds
I discover
The meaning of you
an ocean of love
A beautiful dove
And the nature of me
Like a dry morning dew
Drops far and few!
