KITTENS THEY GET EVERYWHERE

KITTENS THEY GET EVERYWHEERE

You’re in my hair

Up my stairs

This is so unfair

You’re sitting on my favorite

Chair and then you stare

With a look that says

‘I dare you’

But I dare not for

You will win the fight

And give me such a

Fright

Kitten you get everywhere

Falling down those stairs

With that woeful stare

Meowing, crying because

You think no one cares

Kitty you are up the curtains

Watch out when they get

Back in

Oh kitty

What trouble you’re in

And that is a certainty

Kitty what is going to happen?

When you get older

Hopefully much wiser

No more antics

Causing the humans

The attack of the panics

Oh well let’s just wait and see

But I love you really

Just don’t like this

Sitting on my head

My bed

A NEW BEGINNING

A NEW BEGINNING

Opening the book

To pastures green

Green and lush

With so much to write

And so much to see

And hear

Maybe

The beginning

The place

The time

The here and now

I feel like dancing

Pirouetting, twisting and turning

Like a ballerina

With wings to fly

Just like

The butterfly

Floating so high

In the sky

Then rest by the brook

That is

Weaving

Winding

Meandering

Through the pages

Of the new book

Refreshing

Regenerating

The old

Into new life

Springtime

New lifetime

The time

For new growth

And energy

Turning the bare

Branches into lush

New green leaves

Reaching high

Up to the sky

Now is the time

To write the new book

Whilst sitting here

By the brook

THE TEARS THAT I HAVE CRIED

THE TEARS THAT I HAVE CRIED

Cannot be denied

Yet deep within I have so tried and tried

To push them aside

I’m so, so tired

I cannot sleep at night

Knowing I loved you so much

Your heavenly touch

I feel like there is still a ball and chain

Around this heart

A heart that is tearing me apart

Chains, chains like a fool

Knowing that I was just a tool

A weekender a pretender

There is so, so much misery

Knowing it was all a pretense

Knowing it all makes sense

What it is, what it is

But all I need now is a rock steady guy

Who’ll not say “Goodbye!”

A rock to be by my side

I’ll be his rock by his side

A guy who won’t make a fool out of me

Who won’t treat me like a see saw

Who’ll lift me up off the ground!

When I feel down

A kind of guy who’ll know

A kind of man who’ll do right

Day and night

Who’ll share his love with me!

A real guy who I can trust

Is a must

A guy that’ll turn this woman around

A guy that is waiting for me!

A guy that’ll search high and low for me!

I still believe that he is out there waiting for me!

No matter how high the mountains

No matter how deep the valleys

No matter how wide the rivers and seas

I still believe that love will be

No matter how high the skies

I just need to be strong

I just need to hold on

Because I am waiting, anticipating

For that precious day

For that memorable day

When I’ll be your princess

THOUGHTFUL

THOUGHTFUL

Very thoughtful

This empty mind

This empty skeleton

Ever thoughtful

Ever so thoughtless

Empty thoughts

Full of thoughts

What are your thoughts?

Just have these thoughts

Thoughts

Spinning and spinning

Brimming over with them all

The mind agog

Jeeps a fog

Must clear them thoughts

Oh dear they’ve gone

Now what can I ponder over and fill my mind with thoughts

Any thoughts anyone?

Cos I’m done
