The essence of life
Is being there
Ever thoughtful
Always care.
The essence of life
Is to love the stars
Be aware of who
you are.
Colours play
A vital role
The essence of life
Within our soul.

Another lonely night
Without a partner
I cry
Im troubled with love
Not understanding
Why.
Another lonely night
Without warmth
I shall lie
Im troubled with love
That’s why
I still cry.
Lonely so lonely
Every night and
Everyday
Im still crying
it seems
To be the way.

Birthday came
Birthday went
No messages
Of love
We’re ever sent.
Father was rotten
Mother a crow
Ignoring  Lilly
They would not
Watch her grow.
Lilly had a heart
Of gold
Mother father so
Awfully cold.
Lily had a white dress
Forever turning red
Wishing every day
Her parents
would be dead.
When Lilly became a mother
A father whom they adore
She suppressed those memories
So they never come ashore.

Looking for someone
Lost in time
Seems a wasted sky
Stars are falling
Tides are turning
Still I must try.

My eyes seek someone
Who fell into the abyss.
Planets are all colliding
Seas upsetting the moon
Hope edging into despair
Will I find her soon

Deep dark
depression
A hole in
which she fell
I’ll show her
a caring hand
Be lovingly
As well.

Me
When my brain
Starts racing
In need to ****
Some Time
I take to my I pad
Start writing
****** rhymes

In the morning
So late at night
I read them to
The cat
I don’t think she
Gives a - -it
Well that’s just that.

I take a pill for my ill
It helps me feel quite
mellow
If I don’t take it
I become a weirdly
Wonky Fellow.

Time to waste
Breakfast to taste
Stylus in hand
Shall I stop writing
I don’t understand.

My birthday
Is everyday
Im such
a lucky being
Sometimes my
Brain can’t cope
With what my eyes
Are Seeing

In this doggerel rhyme
Im profiling me
Me and my cat are
Inviting you to tea

Yippee people to tea
Have a currant bun
Yippee people to tea
Oh what wonderful fun

Bye now

Thank you Liana
For taking time
To read my
Doggerel
Rhymes.
I do not know
Happiness
I do not know
Sad
Trying very hard
To understand
What’s
Good and bad.
Read your poetry
It has lots of meaning
So thank you liana
I will carry on reading.

Sweet.

Consuming the beans
Don’t hate the can
That’s what they want
Divide then profit
The label will not
Write a dirge
There’s not much we can do.
