Never-ending Story
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
Blossomed daffodils
gracing windowsills
bluebells bloom
lighting the gloom
fields of green
lush and serene
silver birch trees
whistling in the breeze
natures glory

Cuckoo
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
A destructive cuckoo in the nest

trouble causing what he do best

he’ll put your patience to the test

with one eye open he like to rest

Loves being an annoying pest

mischief chasing with zest

I’d like to cough him of my chest

My temper he play with and ******

I held him longer on my breast

my favourite, my maternal lust

my confession hidden in his dust

Love so explosive, I could burst

Pussy Love
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
If my ***** could grip tighter it would

it would swallow you whole if she could

she’d stop you coming so quick

just to have more time with your ****

This ***** is greedy and selfish

your shaft her favourite dish

she’ll let you lap up her cream

your *****’s passion supreme
humour
tongue firmly in cheek

Mind Games
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
Caught in the middle of someone’s mind game

implicated, not taking the blame

I say that but for three nights haven’t slept

with disappointment I have wept

friends can be wierd creatures

smiling, welcoming features

but with knives sharpened

and words honed

they can cut to the bone

Born On A Leap Year
Susan O'Reilly May 2013
29th of February, that’s my birth date

Personally, I’ve always found it great

“Really, your born on a Leap Year”

Some people practically cheer

Instead of 43, I’m actually ten and 3 bits

People’s over-excitement at this can sometimes be the pits

I’m wondering when I’m at deaths door

Do you think they’ll multiply by four?

Wonder
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
If you see the wonder of a fairytale
the midnight trysts of the snail
the laughter of the whale
the hammer being hit by the nail

The elephant afraid of the mouse
the cuckoo burgling a house
the old woman who lived in a shoe
the ghost who couldn’t say boo

The giraffe who hated the smell of his feet
the hyena who’s laughter was like a drum beat
the ant-eater who didn’t eat ants
the day Donald Duck forgot his pants

These thoughts made me giggle
I hope it gave a funny bone a tickle

Salesman
Susan O'Reilly May 2013
Ah, often the salesman doth smile too much
usually means what he’s selling doesn’t work
He’s got the knack though the midas touch
he can sell ice to the eskimo, ****
He has got the patter down, off the cuff
On unsuspecting spenders he does lurk
To praise and extol his dubious stuff
If you purchase, commission, that’s his perk
My heart falls to my toes, he makes it lurch
Flattery can work on my emotions, park
Other day couldn’t get rid, sold a torch
To dodge him be up earlier than lark
Next time I see him I’m running away
Especially when its precious pay day

Guilt
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
Degree of guilt
tortured to the hilt
sanity can easily tilt

feelings of remorse
ending in divorce
taken a wrong course

fell for temptation
no path of redemption
time for contemplation

Must keep demons at bay
start afresh, a new day
regret a price to pay

True Beauty
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
a beautiful face
fades with the decades
there’s no beauty compared to what we hide
cushioned and treasured inside-


the tears we’ve cried
the people who’ve died
the times we’ve tried
the dreams we’ve aspired
the friends we’ve carried-


a beautiful personality
lasts for eternity

Sugar Baby
Susan O'Reilly Jun 2013
Sugar baby

plaything for daddy

showers her in money

she’s his honey

Fulfills her lifestyle

widens his smile

hugs and kisses

never his mrs.

he’s paying her college fees

she’s often on her knees

has a child to feed

gives her what she needs

Is it prostitution?

or business transaction

Is either getting hurt

is it all just sport

Sugar is nice

to life adds spice

but too much can be bad for you

I hope their actions they don’t rue

Toxic Boys
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
Falling for toxic boys
when will we realise
Mr. Wrong wreaks havoc
whereever he goes
leaving behind a litany of woes

What’s the attraction of the bad lad?
known universally as a cad
pure catnip for some women
in their pool I won’t be swimming

Maybe their addicted to drama
flying in the face of karma
is ungentlemanly behaviour mistaken for passion
or wearing a lothario the new fashion

Their well versed in the art of seduction
continuously rehearsing their next production
maybe romance with a ladies man is a headrush
back in the day I had many a bad lad crush

Bridezilla is on the rampage
slightest mishap starts to rage

hubby-2-be was being tongue-in-cheek
unaware of the havoc I can wreak
he’s in the doghouse for a week
my company is not for the meek

Riverside
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
As I sat down by the brook

A moment for reflection I took

Emotional I became

For reasons I cannot name

Tears ran down my face

For some distant hurt I can’t place

The river bubbled

I no longer felt troubled

I obviously needed this time of grief

Because it has granted blessed relief

I won’t question mysterious ways

As I wander home in a bit of a daze

Calmer I am, some peace within

So sit down by the brook awhile

It may send you home with a smile

Inevitable
Susan O'Reilly May 2013
An affair is brewing

Breaking up complicated
too much to arrange
solicitors, family, pain

I just need something
our sitting room (internet cáfe)
is stifling, smothering
communication, zilch
vacant stares
minds elsewhere

Don’t know what to do
but attention I need
before, incomprehensible
now, understandable

An affair is brewing

Complimentary
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
Some would say mysterious

I say dark and devious

from experience previous

He loathes strong women

doesn’t value their opinion

treats them as minions

He hides from my presence

doesn’t like my essence

petrified I guess

I find this hilarious

I’m just gregarious

and think he’s precarious

I should take it as a compliment

he finds me a worthy opponent

thought fills me with merriment

Oh it’s just gorgeous outside
pale skins hide
sunworshippers basking in a lazy glow
work, troubles for a while they don’t know
cinemas, libraries emptier today
as kids want to go outside to play
natures calling
work rates falling
beer gardens, beaches
suddenly enthralling

Oh boss can we have a reprieve
Can we have sunny days leave?
Especially in this lovely Emerald Isle
where glorious sunshine only stays a while

I've had a relapse
my willpower had a collapse

Your always in my mind and heart

life with you is a wonderful dream
imagining life without you

Shoe Fetish
Susan O'Reilly Apr 2013
I used to only look at a mans shoes
Shallow and fickle were my views

Didn’t care about his news
or what books he perused

He had to wear a decent pair
or I’d walk away with a toss of my hair

They didn’t have to have a label
just polished and smart got under my table

I don’t understand it now
its personality these days that makes me go wow

I look into their eyes and smile
that’s what will make me stay a while

If their kind, gentle and smart
me and them will never part

I no longer confuse

See, since I buried my first two

it’s not easy to get a beau

and these day’s I’m not such a pretty view

I can be a bit contrary

and my moods oft vary

but unlike my sister Mary

I haven’t got a tash long and hairy

I don’t need any of that *** stuff

I can tell ya that for nuttin

Its help around the farm I’m huntin

I can make a dacent cup-o-tay

and I’m handy at baling the hay

so if your up for a bit of honest toil

and your humour don’t make me blood boil

Come marry Teresa Rafter

Treasure
Susan O'Reilly May 2013
“Hey, you
Yeah, you, what you looking at”?
“Did you buy tickets”

That was roared at me as I watched this fine gentleman try to dump a package

At first, I thought it was just ordinary ******* but he was being too protective of it
then whatever it was, moved ever so slightly

I couldn’t move
I was rooted to the spot
he could roar and bellow all he liked
but I wasn’t going anywhere
I couldn’t

He looked at me with an evil grin
and just dropped his bundle in the bin
then with an ignorant shrug
went on his way his errand done
I think I actually heard him whistle

I rushed over
and gently picked up this man’s *******
I unwrapped it
it was a beautiful little kitten
snow-white
it’s colour being its only distinguishing mark
a tiny scrap of a thing

It wasn’t moving now
no sound emitting
I massaged its little chest
urging it on with every thing I had
A tiny little rise
Yes
I can do this

It slowly opened its eyes
took deep racking breaths
its little body spasmed
then
blessed relief
its breathing no longer laboured
and
a most wondrous thing
like a baby’s first cry
a miaow, barely audible
music to my ears
then getting louder
rising to a fantastic ear-busting, heartwarming crescendo

I’ve kept it
it’s now my companion
when it wants to be
I called her Hope

One man’s ******* is now my treasure

Memories form a cascade of magical treats
pooling as years around our feet
each one in danger of drowning in the mundane
secreted somewhere deep in our brain

treasure them always
there the good old days
remembrance of times past
a joy that lasts and lasts

Still got the voucher for the gym
I’ll put that in a card for him

open lines of communication, strive

Today’s feeling is melancholy
haven’t got the energy to be jolly
ah, here’s the bus

Too Soon
Susan O'Reilly Mar 2014
My baby's not getting out

I'm keeping it inside daily

"too soon, too soon" I mentally shout

while humming to my mound gaily

there's been the panicked hospital drive

blood oozing down my legs

that trying to keep 'it' alive

my desperate to doctor begs



See this is my 4th pregnancy

each one greeted with hope

I've already lost three

this time I  don't think I'd cope

they can't tell me why

done every  test

all we can do is try

nature does the rest



5 months I've laid in this bed

legs crossed not moving

each bleed fills me with dread

but each day in, chances improving

please say a prayer for me

we need all the help we can get

that inside stays my baby

'its' not ready to come out, not yet

Atmosphere charged with fantasy
tonight will he kiss me
an involuntary shiver ripples through me

imagined bliss felt longingly

I try to capture every ounce of him
he has an hypnotic magnetism
that grips my glance
my lips quiver, askance


Goose-pimples stand out on my arms
alert to all his obvious charms
my reaction alarms
as an uncontrollable urge swarms


He does it to me every time
watching him on screen, sublime
he’s the gorgeous movie star
and to him I would travel far

Her skirt so short could have been a napkin

make-up so thick couldn't see her skin

Machine Maintenance

A lot of machines
are a lot like women
you have to read the manual
and press the right buttons

Machines can have a hissy fit
just won’t work thats it
you’ve pressed the wrong button
or turned the wrong key
today machine will cause misery

But treat them right
tend to their needs
and they’ll perform day and night
machine gives out what you feed

So be a good mechanic
be your machines tonic
bring the oil
for you it will toil

but remember
and keep an eye on when
every machine
needs a service now and then
