Amazing, As you are before my eyes,
Beauty, As you bless my world with smiles,
Caresses, As you stroke my hair, it's awesome,
Diamonds, As in my world you sparkle,
Eyes, As you peep into my life,
Flowering, As Blooming as love buds created,
Greatly, As power grows betwixt two,
Huge, As hot love grows,
Immense, As all consuming
Joyously, As pleasure overtakes,
Kindly, As supporting speech,
Loving, As lustre shines, never lacking,
Magically, As mystical, a conjureror,
Neo, newness shines on fire
Optimistic, positivity creates,
Poetry, she is fed and feeds,
Quality, cultivated from a wild heart,
Rhapsody, in a sound of emotion as she's budding musically
Sculptured in a semi-breeve,
Tranquil in a tender touch,
Unction in oils sacred in dreams,
Virginal in love's sweet touch,
Wanted in lost love,
Xylophone in rhythm's play,
Youthful in its is exuberance,
Zeal for life, apparent!

"England, ah."
Green and pleasant;  full of pleasant trees.
Cottages of chocolate looks, from story books.
Scribes from days gone by, using erstwhile language ,The Baird and Marlowe, E.A.Poe, to name but a few.
Poesy of poets, all rhyming in time, in sonnets and linnets, that tweet from the trees.
Towers of history, subliminal mystery.
Queens and kings and royal things, of palaces and promenades.
Our nation of knights, dames, ladies and gents.
Tatty old flats with extortionate rents, stately, homes and messy houses.
Farms of smells and beasts of burden.
Of pantomime horses, and grassy race courses.
Seashore and see moor.

I wasn't there for your first kiss,
Too self absorbed maybe,
I don't know, what the hell I missed,
Now you are grown with children of your own,
and now,
I love you,
more than time and tide doth turn,
I should burn for selfishness,
In the annals of much regret,
in the ennui of parenthood,
Now annus mirabilis has dawned,
as a lost prophet with a cause; however, not  as the word of the Lord.

This was my response to Josh-Chocolate Grit's song for his daughter, I remembered it after reading some statuses from him earlier.
Just my admission that just because we're women doesn't mean we're all built for motherhood.
Olivia Kent Mar 2014
Here in the luscious land of England, the day of the mother, it came and just left.
Filled with ribbons and bows and twinkling toes.
Gifts given from real true lovers.
Odd thorns do scratch when tempers fly, and words they smack you in the eye.
Hell, they make you laugh.
They make you cry.
They make you hiss.
They take the ****.
But they're alright really, well nearly all the time.
Great big darlings wholly fine!

MY FAVOURITE MUSIC
Olivia Kent Apr 2015
Wanting to hold him close.
All I know is he gets under my skin.
Could give my love over, if he'd just let me in.
He moved me more, much than any other could.
We know we're not meant to, but really we should.
We would if we could.
A pair of precious people, rubies at night time, diamonds by day.
Let us play together, lay together.
Forever and a day.

My Friend.
My friend is Patty M.
Her life is getting rather tough.
A lifetime of issues are getting rough.
She’s weathered storms of so many.
And written words of more.

She too is a poet.
A writer of so many things.
She been there and I’ve laughed with her.
She’s hugged me metaphorically.
From the other side.
Of the wild and windy pond.
When my life fell apart.
As a pair of listening ears.
Put up with my nonsense and wiped away my sulky tears.
She offered me words of support from the bottom of her heart.
I hope so much that things for you, get sorted out so you’re not blue.
Thank you Patty x

Fly away sweet child.
Jet off into foreign skies.
Knowing I'll miss you honey.
Daughter of mine.
Sky cruise to the land of Oz.
To sunshine dreams and buttercups.
Because, because you want to.
Want to spread your pretty
wings.
Here now as I sit and think.
Wishing you the best things.
Catching opportunities while you can.
Seeking wishes.
Finding bigger fishes.
In opportune lands.
Burning sands.
Waving goodbye.
Promise not to cry.
At least, I'll try.
Mum x
My daughter is emigrating shortly.
On her own..she's off to Austrailia

My Grandad,
I know nothing about you,
I never  really did,
You died long before I was born,
never even a sparkle in your eye,
I have no idea what you looked like,
I know not how you died,
nor when.

I know once that you were a saddler,
a maker of fine leather,
In deepest Dorset, laid a paving slab with our family name on.
I saw it once or twice,
It was positioned smartly on the pathway, outside a shabby looking shop,  that shop it wasn't yours, you had long since gone,
The shop, well it's probably a convenience store now,
haven't been there for a good many years,
That kerb stone may have stayed in place,
One day, I may go take a look,
a photo for my memory book.

He arrived,
late,
punctuality never his strong point,
the vernix covered head,
an indication of tardiness,
three days late,
kept us all waiting,
never late now,
those pangs of  hunger,
they hit the house in decibels,
shaking the house to it's foundations.
feed him,
he settles,
sleep,
few hours more rested peace,
he is really very good,
only cries,
when he wants food!

She said give not up on love.
For sweet her love.
It kissed him in a way that no-one ever could.
Love is power.
Not heart corrupting.
Lost feelings erupting.
Be not afraid,
My  dark deep distant warring soul.

Love protects and lifts the scared and sacred ones.
Human form ecstatic.
If the form is right.
Drifting on a lonely river.
Doesn't keep you warm at night.

Enough to raise a smile.

Raises odds.
For more just a hint of happiness.
There is more to life than living wholly alone.
Hold my heart in your hands.
Give it a massage with tenderness.
Walk not down the lonely road.

A duet of poetic diversity.
Far apart, still in distance.
For as long as need decrees.
Close in  both heart and mind.
Take another look.
See what you can find.
Not all humans are monkeys.
One or two are kind!

So I won't be invading anyone else's home!

Olivia Kent May 2014
Special feelings,
A weird bond,
Once procured
In words,
of face to face love,
and those  lain on the line,
For I don't cry more,
Nor cry any less,
I cry for no man,
I cry only,
through my pen,
for the one man who matters,
who matters to me,
he holds my fragile heart,
and my soul in his hands,
I will love him always,
but ,like birds we fly free,
I will always love you and you will always love me,
and I am honoured,
and blessed,
to have shared precious time,
only with precious you!

I'm a writer.
I pick up my pen
I'm playing again  
And my world is just a packet of words.
That packet is an envelope.
Stuck it in the letterbox.
A letterbox full of magic tricks.

Think I have a stalker,
He's persuing me.
Can't break away from him.
An attachment,
He's hanging round my ankles,
Day in and day out.
Sometimes I don't notice him.
He'll never stand in my way.
I'll never fall over him,or for him.
I stroll through shady nooks,
He never utters a word.
Never shows me up.
He knows when to keep a low profile.
Comes out to play with me,
when the sunshine wears her smile.

She is waiting in the graveyard.
Mourning the vampire.
As he stood from the tomb.
She sees his figure hanging in the shadows.
Centre of gloom.
Collection of thoughts manipulated.
Twisted thoughts.
Visible incarnation.
He's watching her cry.
Devoid of emotion?
Dead but can't die.

They say the vampire doesn't cry, an emotionless being, no soul.
He sees her, he watches her, unable to bite.
He is tormented, as he watches her crying.
Wants to take her with him.
Can't bring himself to nibble.
His mouth is watering.
He's starting to dribble.
Dribbling tears, as they roll from his eyes.
Vampires don't cry, or do they?

Seeing her standing there.
Both wished he died proper.
Unable stop her,
She's visiting his grave again.
Somebody save her before it's too late.
A guilty conscience, prevalent at the front of his head.
His head bowed disgracefully, wishes he was dead.

Olivia Kent Jan 2015
It is with great pleasure that I announce my pen will never let me down
The men in my life often do.
The drunk ones.
The punk ones.
The cool ones.
The foolish ones too.
My pen is my lover, I'll always be true.
It sees me through sunshine.
It sees me through rain.
It picks up my pieces whenever there's pain.
Time and time again.
Guess what I say.....**** Men!

He is my dark haired bad boy,
I'm his crazy lady,
We have fun running together,
Dancing in the midday sun,
Crossing the stream,
A summers day escaped from a dream,
His sister sun,
She smiles at him,
She smiles at me,
No greater love have I ever found,
He astounds me with sweet kisses that reach into my soul,
My one and only my sweet lover,
He makes me feel whole!

A response to the poem he wrote for me!

Once I had a mood ring.
It locked tight about my finger.
Glowed shades of vibrant red when wild I was inside.
It turn a shade of mellow yellow when soothed and calmed by changing moments.
A shade of green which changed by degrees when ire and jealously me deceived.
One day the stone fell out, the band remained and so it shouts.
It's crying for the missing stone, I swear my heart and ears perceive it's calling moan.
Mislaid it long ago, when I was pure as blowing snow.
Cold in heart. caught in mind.
The ring mislaid no more to find.
From then onwards the only ring I wore was on one of gold, I wear no more.
My love was sold.
I bear no more, not ever.
No ring be worn no more.
Mood moments governed by pure emotions, not tatty stones or loves devotions.

My ***!

Smashed a memory today.
An pixie ***.
Made for me many years ago.
A large book from my shelf did tumble.
My lovely *** got smashed to bits.
Beyond repair.

Broke my heart.
Loved and cherished it.
A patient gave it to me as a gift.
Before my training started.
Worthless financially.
Priceless a treasure.

Nostalgic memories.
Felt the tears streaking down my cheeks.
As in the bin I placed it.
Protected.
Wrapped it carefully.
Much much too late.
Never can be replaced!

True story I'm afraid..happened this afternoon x
Olivia Kent Jun 2013
A box dressed in a brightness,
An odd shade of virescence,
Bright green in spoken tongues,
Miniscule, no room to swing a cat within,

Completely piled high,
With lots of this and that,
So full up with furnishings,
There's little room to move,
If you came to visit me,
You never would approve

My room is so ancient,
She has more cracks in her painted skin than me,
A trio of holes hurt her face,
Where my daughter once hung her T.V,

The air brick on the inside is blowing in the wind,
A fellow nurse stands on my T.V,
She has a better job than me,

Egyptian deities in cymbals (symbols),
Make noises in my head,
They're sat on the cabinet on the bright side of my bed,

Was laying in my bed as I penned this in draft,
For this is my safe private haven,
She is heaven blessed!

Can I see thee, through those windows?
Misty, grimy, opaque, but clearing.
What is foreseen, as yet nobody knows.
A presence gentle, truly nearing.
Force exuded filled with passion.
Hark thee one of gentle voice,
A lady, once pallid and ashen,
Lady fair, hath now a choice.
Greets a suitor from nether world.
Maybe lady, has new chance.
Comes to call, with love unfurled,
Novel way to find romance.
She knows not yet, what she hath found,
Deep in the land of underground.

He told me that the world was good.
Maybe was carved from ball of wood.
Sadly 'twas invaded by wood worms.
Who spent hours daily nibbling.
However: it isn't really wooden.
Despite the pain 'tis really good, good as gold.
Our world protected, loved so dearly.
Close to ending,
Only nearly.
Protected by the word of various lords,
And mythical souls.
Hercules in full support,
The weight of the world on his shoulders.
Heracles despatching lions, well only one to my knowledge.
Gods and prophets will do their best.
Adam and Eve conceived their sons and Noah's floods and Lot's salt pillar.
Angels soothe minds of the troubled.
While gorgons, witnessed turn to stone, their snakes are hungry their dying for rats.
Samaritans will save the world, not just lonesome travellers.
And Jesus, he turned water into wine, not mine, loaves and fishes to feed them all.
Let us pray.

This tiger sure ain't burning right,
in the forests of the night,
She's blazing with a purple glow,
that none of you will ever know.
She is a sparkle,
in the night time,
a flash in the daylight hours,
no tiger stripes of black and tan.
The lady lost her symmetry,
no sides match,
she's hiding in the undergrowth,
every so often a revelation,
an archetypal creature,
she feeds and thrives and always survives,
safe in the knowledge, that only she knows,
that she'll always feature in the mind of that dark creature.
The speaker of poetry and the writer of words.

My poems,
well sometimes they cry,
they argue with each other about today's poetic topic,
sometimes they shout at me,
write no more dark,
I smile back at them,
saying, sorry nicer poems,
but dark's my trade mark!
I'll try to do sweet stuff but I find it hard,
sometimes they're crazy,
sometimes they're not,
I know as many big words as the rest of you,
but I love simplistic,
people who don't write poetry,
understand my basic simple lingo.
I can paint a picture of a million complexities,
what's the point I say out loud,
you just like reading me,
I do short poems normally,
on a mish mash of weird topics,
If I wrote buckets of fancy words,
Guess I'd just get bored!

My World!

Welcome to my world.
My heart.
My brain.
'Tis a house of fun.
Where sunshine reigns.
Wind bubbles.
Grown children play.

So what do I do with my gift of life.
Have one lovely lover.
My heart him adores.
He too writes poems.
Scores and scores
Won't be his wife.
Never at least till the twelfth of never.
My precious time.
Hours upon hours spent at work.
Gee ****, mind numbing.
Probably makes me a ****.

When In my land of sanctuary.
My pen comes out to play.
Have an imagination.
Somewhat sublime.
Sublimate perhaps.
Very surreal.
Subsumed as poet.

Sometimes drift down Dante's way.
Poeish at times.
'Fraid God doesn't feature in my life.
Am spiritual, bit of a hippie chick.
The queen of love's emotions.
Enters my world as dozy notions.
Nothing else would I choose.
I paint pictures in oils and words.
The words are a little better.

Insular is my real world.
At work I'm so exuberant.
Indoors tranquil.
Give me pen.
Feed an me idea.
I will present.

As varied as the weather.
I am indeed.
Like my writings.
Feel free to read.
Now I open my world to you.
Come and seek my strange point of view.

She screamed at him,
Stop it, stop it right now,
How many times must I tell you,
And he stopped,
Looked up at her and smiled,
With  the innocence of adolescence,
He looked up, wide eyed his index finger perched on his lip,
"Sorry mum,"  said he,
Mummy dashed off to the kitchen,
Thought maybe was time for tea,
Instead, she trotted back in,
Complete, with garden shears,
Snip, snip, chop, chop, off his fingers they did drop,
A pile of fingers left on the floor,
How many times did she tell him before,
Don't bite  your nails!
You should have seen his dripping fingers, hacked off at their sockets.

Holiest of communions with Earth our mother.
Earth, she spins as a dancer.
Man, the stupidest species gets not dizzy.
Holding tight.
Shortest days and darkest nights.
Urge towards sunshine.
Into the light.
Making love on warm dry grass in shades of pink.
Whole soul stroking.
Worldwide.
No divides.
Without boundaries.
More life foretold in a perfect prophecy.
Namaste .
Brothers,
Sisters.
Hailstones and thunder.
Awesome power natures' wonder.
Namaste.

Grasp of a constrictor, not a Boa of pink and blazing purple feathers.
As loneliness entraps her wretched body.
Her fangs, though aged and brittle inflict an evil bite, should you **** the lady off?
Slender and tactile, the lady, she's a gentle one, until you touch her wrong.
He did, her mirror shattered, smithereens of once frantic broken love, became a long lost dream.
Once was sharing and caring, altruistic to  the very last, but then the last one came along, destroyed her with his  nuclear blast.
Left remnants of her personality, caught, stuck fast on his electric fence.
Maybe discarding rubber soles, may complete the job, but  she's not that stupid and he's just a ****!
Just a profound few minutes, and the lady is fine, just wanted a few images to play with ** :-)

Silent graveyard.
Grass untended by the keeper.
Standing there
At the end of the six foot run.
See her crying.
Whatever the weather.
Always there.
Sense her smile.
She's was the chosen one
Young attentive woman.
Was once forever.
Now she's gone.
Ancient vase brimming with sun blanched paper flowers.
She wears a hat.
It's pink,
Faded with a garland of flowers ringing, it's skull.
Almost a summer coronet.
She sits now.
Legs crossed, she's musing.
The pen of the phantom.
Her image presented.
In mystical words.
Sometimes in pictures.
The woman is in a world of her own.
Her pen plays in time, with the motivation of the clock hands.
Turning slowly.
Each minute she watches.
Watching for the movement.
Unheard, save the quarterly chimes.
Darkness descends.
The ghost writer twists her pencil around on a whet stone.
Tomorrow shall surely come
She shall write some more.
Now the clock dictates,
Time for her to visit her cold night casket.
To wait for tomorrow's quaint wicker basket.
She knows it's coming.
She can rest in peace anticipating.
The visitor stands.
She's deep in thought.
Leaves behind a present she bought.
Brought grandma a case of colours.
Pencils, pens and ink.
Pretty pictures.
Wonderful words.
It helps her to grieve.
Finding the words her dear Nanny did leave.
Missives from a heart of gold.

America oh land of the free.
What you gonna do for me.
Or your people.

Trump chucking vile insults.
And the snakes in my hair are fighting each other.
Bill and Ben just skittles in flipping power struggles.
Poor Mohammed he's viewed differently,
But in life he's just the same.

Hillary is wondering who's gonna be her husband's latest conquest.
Guess it doesn't matter much.
Just forgive and forget.
Trumps' a misogynist, a giant lump of liar.
If he gets  elected  the world  be on fire.

Oh America,
Land of the brave,
Land of the free.
What about England?
Talk bout sweet England.
You'd be having a laugh.
England merry?
Messy England.

Perhaps a giraffe could do a better job.
Head in the noisy clouds.
Cameron's list  of toffee beaks.
The larks of summer crash to earth.
Summers' gone.
Tory rebirth.
Hoping not.

England's renewal.
Vapour trail,
Teresa's rule.
Tory woman.
Nobody's fool.
Shame eh.

Oh England
Merry England.
Descending,
Going down the pan.
It's chaos.

While Putin is disputing the way the world will go.
Boom boom.
Bang bang,
Seems to believe he's Superman.
Running the race at his pace.
A trending mosquito.
Irritant
Dangerous.
Viral.

Oh hell.
Planet's just a bowling ball.
Well  well.
Blackest magic in the air,
Who cares?
Be scared.
Very afraid.

It's grey this August,
Truly madly, deeply,
A darker shade of grey.

Natural beauty.
Such a cutie.
Living city, hitting high.
Exhausted.
Painted faces, covering flaws.
Too many falsehoods, opening doors.
What on earth are we to do?
Me and you.
Fountains spray costly dishonesty.
Pink insipid roses, replaced with truths
From days of crazy youth.

It's dying you know.
In a scary dark dirge.
It's falling fast.

Was feeling mediocre.
Ages fly past.
From childhood to menopause.
Hell what a blast.
Some kind of supersonic speed.

Looking into the dark world of periods past.
Just took a breath.
Oops there went another.
One second closer.

Patella aches.
Legs are veined.
Decorated ornately.
Threads sewn.
Embroidered, but not by needles.
Hair has gone all funny.
Killed it with my dye.
This hormones it's falling out.
Really don't know why.

Guess I should age naturally.
But I don't know why I should.

A tree cast out it's precious cargo.
Breeze blew through the springtime trees.
If I could have anchored you tight upon the trees.
Your nest it would be still be there in situation'.
Youthful squeaks, awaiting beaks.

Unable to act, it's a fact.
If I were to touch you, they will by wanton abandonment destroy.

Restrain me.
The angel of mercy.
Who thinks she can put the world to rights.
Don't blame me for nature.
Hold me high for the care that I give.
It's a spirit of nuture.

Wish I could split it.
Tear it apart.
Not posses caring heart.
If I were a *****
Would I maybe be rich.
Not killing with kindness.

Can't fix the world as much as I wish.
You know I so want to be a *****.
A hardened cow.
Not in my nature.
Just don't know how.

Who taught me I could sort it.
Just the way I fell.
To try to sort my nature out.
Would need a magic spell.
Caring nature is a hex.
My heart and soul both well and truly vexed.

Not about mother nature, about me!
Olivia Kent Nov 2014
I awoke today to find there was was no-one around.
I looked out of my hazy bedroom window.
All I could see was fields.
Miles of fields.
Grass, verdant in blazing blades.
Above my window hung a helicopter.
Hovering as a silent bird.
I was in a land where nothing was, save me.
The grass, the helicopter.
I tried to get the pilot of the mighty silent craft to acknowledge my being.
For last night I drifted into sleep in the suburbia of city lights.
Today I wake and nothing's left.
What on Earth I think?
No sense of panic here-within.
I just enjoyed the peace.
Not a thought entered my mind.
Well no thoughts of concern for sure.
Me, my bedroom, miles of grass and best of all no war.
I did however wonder.
Just how one large house,
it's inhabitants and all had gone asunder.
Perhaps it was the evening wind.
Maybe we were washed away in the torrential rain.
It wasn't Heaven, nor was it Hell.
My head it hurts, not feeling well.
My daughter leaned right over me caring as caring could be.
An egg maybe born of an ostrich protruded from my brow.
Must have fallen over.
Don't know how.
Looked out of the window.
No more surreal visions.
The cars went dashing by.
Well at least I didn't die!

Sailing towards suburban station, on the evening train again.
The train gets caught on the evening breeze, as the sky wells up to cry.
That station, desolate and unsafe at night.
In the morning,  part my daily trudge, toward my day of drudgery.
A visit on a weekday; just past dawn, buzzing hub-bub, outside the raging city lights; where students irritate and  working people congregate, before embarking on the day.
The morning station with no service, save for a solo ticket machine and two phantom trains that come together; three minutes between them, once in an hour.
The city station,  has all amenities, mean ticket barriers, you can't escape those barriers, never chance a ride for free.
Suburbia, after day of toil, not a toilet or a coffee to be found.
The evening station's nearly dead, resting, waiting for the morrow.

Need for Sleep.

I sit,
Sleep stolen from mine eyes needs,
How wonderful to sit in land of dreams awake,
'Tis such a ***** of blood fuelled scorn,
Mine eyes with wakefulness adorned,
A man who writes, keeps me alive,
When blessed sleep,somehow evades my gentle lids,
When your true love , he so forbade,
A haze of fashionable discretion snatches,
Life catches me stabs my heart,
Bleeding her dry,
Poetry stabs mine,
In writing his art as true love binds!

And I think it's going to rain again and the woman dressed in green, is the probably the prettiest I've ever seen, maybe she's Irish.
Like me she's on her way to work.
It's six a.m, but she doesn't look a berk.
Unlike the chap in the suit wearing brightest whitest trainers to work.
Me, in my navy blue trews with royal blue tunic, with a really long coat, to cover the garments, big trouble if I don't.
Work is often troublesome.
Yesterday no exception .
Think I'm going to be giving in.
Governed by finances,
Solo managed romances.
Think I need a rich man wearing bright white sneakers and classy suit.

Needing sleep and needing ***.
Both are long forgot.
Last time *** partook.
About the year dot
There is a man named Adam,
Certainly no husband of Eve.
Would love to get his paws on me and thus my heart deceive.

He can go and whistle down a long and winding road.
Sorry, should I reconsider?
Never
The wiles of the one.
Who so resembles slimy toad.
Loves me for my body.
Kind of likes my brain.
To go and play along.
Rather ruddy insane.
Have a wonderful suggestion.
Sleep is somewhat better.
Perhaps with just a little luck.
He may forget he met her!

Guess Who can't sleep! It's 0248.

Somewhere out there, on the other side of our troubled world.
The sky fell in.
The snow rolled in, covered in it's unpleasant murderous icing coat.
As mountains collapsed the weight of the world landed on the heads and shoulders of the bold and truly brave, pray let the weight be lifted.
Brave souls and people true.
The Western world here,thinks of you.
May those lost.
Here ever after rest in peace.

Never Ever!
Never ever date a lady poet.
With such imagination sparkling in her eyes.
Don't ever love a poetess.
With bands of roses round her head.
For she'll throw your life in turmoil.
You will never forget her.
Her with words of tempered steel.
Will state out loud just how she feels.

She will not want to marry you.
She wants not anyone.
For deep within the gift of words this widow's truly spun.
Should you win her heart.
You must keep it safe till both grow old.

Be bold if she inspires you.
Igniting true love fires.
Carried by words in bolts of lightning.
Hear her words as as thunder ringing.
Afore those eyes that read.

A fire that only true love feeds.
Compliment her on her choice.
The woman with the written voice.
In dulcet tones of silence, a writ.
She will pick up her pen.

Write once,
Write twice, then only she will write again.

Take in hand a poetess.
With her cruise the universe.
Never let true love be terse.
You may find that she pens a verse.
She's not averse to love.

Her,
She only dreams of heaven.
Twas lost love that made her write.
From many years ago once lost.
The beautiful poetess.
Secrets of pain hide.
Hid behind those brightly sparking.
Twinkling eyes!

It's nearly December.
We live in the land of the sweet never never.
The currency is destitution, as the poor man bleeds to death, or even maybe starve.
Wealthy governments crow over us.
The little folks.
The simpletons from their high ground perches, surveying the paupers in a so called wealthy nation.
The fat cats get fatter while the workers waste away.
They find themselves hookers and feed them with worms.
A little protein perhaps?
Nothing's getting better in the land of the never never.

NEW
I am a novel waiting for writing.
I am shiny, as a Christmas bauble,
So sparkly,
I am waiting to be displayed,
I am a dumb mute,
I am waiting to speak,
I am never quiet
I am an appeal waiting to be made,
I am the contents of a treasure chest,
The stifled lid lifts slowly,
so slowly,
Awaiting the coming changes,
self made,
a manipulation of myself,
the stagnant waters,
well,
they are running free now,
aerated and breathing,
Clear and fresh.
As the rickety rackety wheel turns,
I can feel the classic turning over.
Coffee tainted pages in my hapless history,
now it's all about me,me,me!

There are a whole lot of changes going on in my life now **

A new baby.
That beautiful new baby smell.
Who remembers it?
It's beautiful.
Perfect in fact.
Carried her home in the blazing heat.
I cossetted her.
Sad with her on my lap.
We played all day.
She's an amazing, brilliant young lady.
She produced her first words today.
Slept for a little while today.
I left her home alone.
I locked her inside.
And now, I'll be blown.
I just can't shut her up.

NOT WHAT YOU THINK, HONESTLY!!

So how was your day today?
Infant entered the world in the morn.
Child of a friend of mine.
A man child.
So delighted.
May their lives be filled with love and joy.
A precious gift a baby boy.
Congratulations Mum, dad and newborn one.
The oven delivered a beautiful son!

A young lady with whom I have been really close over the years had her first baby today...oooh just had to write a poem for her x

A purple carpet.
Sharp.
Spiky.
Cold shrugged off.
It's used to it.
The girls name's laid upon the grass.
That girl so lucky,  
Feels the gypsy's pinch.
The lady peeks up the Scotsman's kilt,  to see just what he's hiding.
