The Tree…
So December arrives
What does it mean?
We count down the days
Oh yes, we’re really keen
The garden centre beckons
Another arduous trip
Never mind the madding crowds
But watch the ice, in case you slip
You view fifty trees
They all look the same
In frustration you pick the first one
It’s the annual run around game
Now into the car
You bend, twist, and shove
Eating needles you hadn’t planned on
Once in, you raise your eyes up above
With ease you bring it home
Stand back – look at your icon with pride
Until you notice something is missing
You now want to run away and hide
Never mind, a job is done
The family will be pleased
No concern about the lopsided tree
Or being continually teased and teased…

Out of the blue it seemed
I saw a beautiful girl, or was it a dream
If this is real I cannot wait
Must pluck up courage, ask her out on a date
Plan my attack, plan what to say
Time is short, I only have one day
The time will come, and come soon
I’ll ask her to meet me at Benzaro’s at noon
As the tension began to build,
I couldn’t hold it much longer
Emotions increasing,
Getting ever stronger
There she was as gorgeous as can be
It was only a dream, and i needed a wee!!
To Love, to Leave, to never Forgive
The Taste, the Chase, the Forever to live
My Rock, my Thread, my ultimate Saviour
Your Mine, your Fine, your my only flavour
Eyes transfixed, looking from the top down
Mesmerised as bodies intertwined
His with hers, hers with his
They were only of one mind
An expectant audience drew breath
As her head hurtled towards the dance-floor
A safe pair of arms and hands
Could not deny her aura anymore
Two turns, bodies completely in sync
Her hypnotic sweet odour consumed
For him to never let her go
As though they were the only two people in the room
She slid furtively across his back
He spun on his toes to face
Inches apart, hearts beating
They drew closer, ready for their embrace
Intensely their fingers interlock
Gripped by unbridled emotions
She leaps like a gazelle
It was poetry in motion
The final curtain call arrives
Finely balanced like a bird on a beam
Did time fly palpably so fast?
And was this dance just another dream…
They seek to be seen
Invisibility is their shroud, their cloak
Oh do not our eyes deceive?
The throat of a hand, the hand on the throat?
Who can touch what is not there
Can you mingle in their midst?
The soft of shoe move stealthily minus a jingle
And steals the gifts, by giving gifts to steal
The fight to be recognised goes on and on
Anonymity can reign supreme
Stand up, get noticed, let them see the whites of you eyes
If we can see you, that you can certainly see me
Spiritual holiness does she emit
Patient, comforting forgiveness pours out
Oh how blessed is her radiation that atomises us
Powerful, uncompromising tenacity imbues the mind to turn away from the pit
Righteous discipline, voices quietly, without
Alas, through biblical motherly love we are saved, thus
How do you ask for me?
Or would you do ask for a phone
Right away you would look silly
Accept it, otherwise its now yours to bemoan
Count your blessings i’d advise
Eat humble pie if needs be
Cook it for 20 minutes is to be wise
Apple is my favourite, yes that’s the key
Roll on then, as your present gift oozes heat
Lets be of good cheer, as the man with no name is who you’re about to meet..
