Of course/on course
Swedish girl/slightly Norse
**** voice/mildly hoarse
Hotel in the mountains/Cornish tors
Didn't take long/knickers to floor
Passion intensified/not the usual chores
Way too pretty for this noise/Christ she could snore
Got to know her/a right ****** bore
A quick go too/not feeling sore
We often stray of course/off course

I wonder how,
Seriously,

The people you've *******
The drugs you sniffed and coughed
The cars you've driven and not even bought
The red lights you jumped and not even caught
The guys who's girls you've kissed behind their backs
The girls who said come again and back to their sack
The arrogance of a man you just knew he could
The luckiness he exhumed when he knew that he would

As he takes it for granted and all in his stride
And this is the surprise that he really is,

Still Alive

Summer: Winter always rocks up when you least want it
Winter: And summers only stay until they turn toxic
Autumn: Then there's me rolling in like an unwanted smell from the gutter
Spring: But it's going to be OK kids, as I'll soon make it all feel like summer 🌞

We all breathe
Yet sometimes heave
Let out a sigh
Followed with a cry
It makes us live from lungs to bellows
How God made man from the dice that he throws
Instinct with nature,
Something that we never have to remember

And,

Breathe

They make the rules up,
They break the rules down

The nation looks on with a solemn frown
This from the men whom wear this country's crown

A fresh start
Pieces to build
I've found a new heart

What segment fits where
You look
It's love
Just don't stare

Excited
To build this fortress of love
Each block just falls into place
The odd bit missing but who is to care

Segmented
Dislocated
It fell apart all to easy
Blown with the wind on a day too breezy

A castle isn't made in just a day
We build
We love
We hang onto what they say

I feel I go in way to gungho
And that is why it always falls apart
These days I see life in a different light
Keep calm and relax
as,
Love is like Lego
(it always has a new start)

Removed
But not fully soothed
A waiting game of 5 to 10 years
Please be gone, save me my tears
Doctors do their job but not yet the cure
Sometimes it's in the hands of others
Relying on the faith of their Lord
Spreading like a ***** little rumour
Reappearing its filthy diseased head
Sorry, you have a tumour
So let's not let this thing bring us all down
You can beat it, I know you, never one to frown
Always the first to laugh with some daft banter
Let's kick this thing out of the park, this ******* known as cancer
