People die
People cry
People buy
The house
And leftover things,
The crazy thing
Lives are spent
Collecting stuff
Finding it tough
It’s never enough,
Then one dies
Someone cries
Someone buys
And the circle
Goes round
And round
And round.

I’ve come to that
Place in time
Where everything I need
Is here,
To be sure
We have our share
Of wingnuts and psychos,
But we know
Who they are,
We can be careful,
And yes we work our way
Through the weather
Wondering when the
Super Quake will hit,
But near the mouth
Of a river on The Island,
Everything I need is here.

Is it human nature
To slam the door
In opportunity’s face,
Or are we so fucking
Brainwashed that we
Don’t know any better,
What’s with the Brexit
Re-vote petition?
Come on Brits
Get your thumbs
Out of your asses,
By a stroke of luck
You have created
The chance to run
Your own show,
Re-kindle your wit,
Overcome the
Malnourished addiction
To the EU tit.

Brexit …
Has the revolution
Started,
Have we had enough
Of bankers, industry,
Politicians,
Those who view themselves
Elite
Manipulating, directing,
Dictating
Populations in
Retreat.

Strawberry moons
On a summer solstice,
Few see three
Some make two,
Sea ladies and teal
The feel of forty-eight,
Sixty-seven and sixteen
Who knows about
Thirty-five or sixty-six,
And yes,
I’m thinking about you
On this strawberry moon
On the summer solstice.

I was following
Her tattoos,
You know,
Visually,
Trying
Not to be obvious,
Follow my tattoos
With your fingers
She smiled,
They meet in
The middle,
The middle
Is always
Best.

In the quiet time
By the river
With the water
Rushing by,
Thoughts mingling,
Suddenly the overpowering
Smell of the ocean,
And like the river
Racing to the deep blue,
My thoughts
Run to you.

Play in the middle
Don’t dance on the edge
Don’t tempt the riddle
Keep your life hedged,
Some just can’t do that
They stretch and they lean
A few become fat
Most remain lean,
The answer, who knows,
In the end it depends
To you what life means.

I will always remember you
Will you always remember me,
Yes, I will always remember you,
Then Alzheimer’s set in,
I will always make love with you
Will you always make love with me,
Yes, I will always make love with you,
Then came hormonal infertility,
And it was sad watching them
Holding hands,
Sipping coffee,
One not knowing who
Or where they were,
The other at times
Wishing to do the same.

Crazy it was
But sometimes
Time does
Take autumn
And spring
And fling them
Together,
Then laughs
With the sun
At what has
Been done,
Leaving hearts
Quivering
Lost in the weather.
