Mr E Writer Mar 2021
Misspent youth or age with grace
fates just land upon our lap
try to breathe and save face
or simply take another nap
time consuming, hard and fast
slowly feeling, blindly moving
as the first stone has been cast
rippled skin no longer smoothing
age defying are we lying
can we really last that long
or are we all just slowly dying
losing heart and inner song
tales of year's long gone by
each unique and often warming
I cannot question what or why
just enjoy each day's new dawning
soak up learning, sharing caring
love and laughter cures your ills
if you can be bold be daring
heartfelt love that overspills
look up and forward or reminisce
dream of treasure pure as gold
living life is a lingering kiss
embrace the beauty of getting old

Another second, another minute
Drains my will when you’re not in it
Another day, another night
When you’re not here just isn’t right
Another week or maybe two
That’s the nightmare of not being with you
Another month, another year
This would be my greatest fear
I can’t live without you for that long
My heart would lose its inner song
These times that we have been apart
Feel like my ending, not my start
Life is hollow, barren and bare
I hate myself for not being there
My heart feels broken, damaged, undone
Without you for my number one
I feel alone and can’t survive
Your love for me baby keeps me alive
My eyes are now so full of tears
Burn like memories from long ago years
My feelings of such loss and sorrow
Tell me to yearn for a brighter tomorrow
But that just simply cannot be
Until I have you here with me
I need you now more than ever it seems
For you my sweetheart are all of my dreams
Mr E Writer Mar 2021
Rushing around like a nutcase
Is that how life should be?
We shouldn’t be in a rat race
One day we will all see
Taking our time is essential
More haste less speed is so true
Being human isn’t just a credential
It also means I’m like you
Life can rush past us too quickly
So stop to gather your thoughts
Speed often makes us seem prickly
Slow down to enjoy its reports
Next time you’re out walking
Or on a train or in a car
Take a deep breath whilst talking
And look at surroundings afar
There’s a picture laid right before you
How beautiful it is in your mind
I hope you’re sharing it, please do
Relax, breathe and be kind
Mr E Writer Mar 2021
Life is a struggle, it can be a bind or a fix
we’re all here to juggle, it’s all in the mix
the trials of hardship make you feel sorrow
but never forget, there’s always tomorrow
Try to take it one day at a time
don’t overload, there’s a reason a rhyme
let your life flow, set yourself free
just accept who you are, what will be will be
Remember no matter who you are
there’s someone who cares, near or far
Just try to be happy, make your life fun
you don’t get two shots, you only get one
Lots you can do to make things better
explore the world, be a go getter
don’t give up, don’t be a quitter
yes life is hard but it aint down the *******
Look this way, there’s worse off than you
if you saw them what would you do?
tell them to jump, or lend them a hand
a shoulder to cry on, if that’s their demand
Suicide is final, it’s your last port of call
no one one’s a winner, no one at all
we should be caring, thoughtful of others
even enemies, or two star crossed lovers
Make this your beginning, not your end
go on and claim it as yours my good friend
think of the wonders you’ve yet to find
Make all the doubters, think and rewind

LOVE and CUDDLES a good place to start
FEELINGS too when spoke from the HEART
LAUGHTER for medicine, TEARS of JOY
are BEAUTIFUL to this laid back boy
TREES FLOWERS BIRDS BEES
WONKY EYES, WOBBLY KNEES
SILLY and CRAZY are FUN to use
as is MUSIC, I LIKE the BLUES
SUNSHINE, MOONLIGHT,
RAINBOWS are GREAT
there's HOPE in those SOUNDS
you cannot deflate
POPPING, ZIPPING, POOTLE too
so many in LANGUAGE to name but a few
KINDNESS CARING GIVING, SHARING
PATIENCE, UNDERSTANDING
(I don't like demanding)
or SCARY, WARY my CHILD LOVES FAIRY
CERYS is my FAVOURITE WORD
will be FOREVER for this POETRY NERD
Mr E Writer Mar 2021
Poetry in motion
a speed demon inside
Skyline my devotion
it's one helluva ride
no ordinary notion
so much more beside
cruising past the ocean
witness the ebbing tide
I sense it's true emotion
while driving with real pride
adrenaline it's potion
a car you can't deride
it's beauty is my lotion
a corner drift and slide
captured in slow-motion
boy I'm feeling wide
I'm causing a commotion
it's truth, I haven't lied
time for my remotion
thank God I haven't died

I was walking through a glade in the woods
basket laden with forest found goods
mushrooms, wild garlic and such like
well worth the early morning hike
it was not yet time for berries and such
which I have a sweet tooth for so much
but as the sun shone further ahead
something caught my attention instead
walking further along the trail
I came to a moss coated wooden hand rail
I followed the path down which it led
and saw a wishing well in an old rose bed
I peer into the gloom of the hole of the well
it was thirty feet at least I could tell
so I ruffled my pockets for a penny or two
thinking that's what you're supposed to do?
I found an old two penny piece
threw it in with a wish for my niece
she's up in heaven watching us all
probably laughing and joking as I recall
Fiona had a heart that was gold
her humour comical, the stories she told!
I'll never forget the day she was born
her sweet little face gave a feeling so warm
She truly was one of life's little gems
Sewed us together at cuff, waist and hems
This little secret part of the woods
gave me more than forest found goods.
