Even after all this time
Impossible as it seems
You don’t know
The colour of my dreams

You don’t know me
Marrow deep
But why should you know
All the secrets I keep

You don’t know
What my heart can't admit
Or the darkness inside
I can't talk about it

You don't know
The stories i tell
The things that i do
When i'm feeling unwell

You do know how i like
To sing while I clean
And when I'm anxious
I can be kind of mean

You do know I'm always
Getting lost in my mind
Plotting and planning
And dreaming combined

That should suffice
You do know me quite well
But if you want to share
Love, please do tell

Kitty says she has not been fed
Is this claim false or true?
Her plate is half full, her water is clear
So why does she chirp mee-yoo?

Kitty says we are starving her
Though to pick her up is a struggle
The vet says she’s hefty but we both know
There’s a lot of fur in that snuggle

Kitty says she would like attention
Or to play with the laser pointer
A belly scratch begs for trouble
But I hate to disappoint her

Tweet tweet
My little sweet
The sun has beat
Winter to defeat
For now we greet
Spring upon a nesting seat
Old friends fresh we meet
Upon the cherry blossomed street

Everything we do is wrong
There’s no win to be found
We’re polluting the air,
The oceans, the ground
Our bags are a problem
and our coffee cups ****
The clothes that we wear
Show we don’t give a ****
About the environment
Or the next generations
This single use planet
Has too many temptations

Shouldn't be in public
Not fit for company
Won't remember names
Might interrupt, awkwardly
Failed attempts at humour
You must hate me
Failed attempts at flattery
Please don't hate me
Didn't mean to say that
Small talk breakdown
Why am I still talking
Self sabotage takedown
Why am I still here
I'm the absolute worst
This shouldn't be so painful
I wish I wasn't cursed

Baby girl Blue
What happened to you?
Once bold and vibrant
Now you’re subdued
Back in the day
When your laugh was loud
Wearing high, high heels
You would peacock so proud

Those eyes, intense and demanding
In my memories
Blue, you are still outstanding
Full of verve, full of zing
You kick the *** of most anything
Full of colours, full of sound
You’re the lightning, not the ground

Blue, I wish there was another way
Another place, another day
He didn't deserve you
Absorbed your colours
Chained your flare
When I look at you, Blue
It's hard to see
The goddess in there
But I know you can sparkle
And I’d give anything to see you shine
Let me cut the chains
Free your wings
If you're still in there
Show me a sign

Tom **** and Harry
Met a lovely fairy
She asked - 'How do you do?'
They said – 'Why should we tell you?"
How do we do?

Fairy gave a Smiling look
'There is a nice reason
I can fulfil all your wish'
Tom said – 'We don't do'
God does everything'

Fairy was impressed
Tom became happy
So was ****
Fairy winked and smiled
Harry Got Mad

Harry decided to Marry
Beautiful lovely fairy
He said – 'Fulfil my wish.
Marry me and be my Bride'
Fairy got angry, lost her temper

She threw them all
They all had a great fall
It happened all of a sudden
They found themselves fallen from bed
Now they understood clearly

Whatever they saw was just a dream
Both Tom and ****
Started beating Harry
They Kicked and Punched
Harry was so sad

He was not that bad
He realised, said sorry
He also touched his ears
But when he turned his pillow
Found a pleasant Red Rose

Soon Tom and ****
Turned their pillows
Found nothing at all
Now they turned to Harry
Knelt down and felt sorry
