If there were more hours in the day
Other ways to show you what you already know
In the quiet of the morning
In the still of the night
Perhaps Afternoon Delight?
Hands held in silence that speak louder than any words ever could.
If there is a better love then we have it
As our wedding song states to save every day til eternity passes away just to spend them with you

It won't be a silent
night this Christmas in
the Psych Ward.
There are some real
wack jobs in here.
One guy grabbed his crotch,
and said, 'I have hold of all my faculties.'
The nurse asked him what
drugs he was on,
He said, 'It's not the drugs that are
the problem, it's the women.'
Maybe he's not as crazy as I thought.
I shouldn't talk; I'm getting
ECTs (Electra Convulsive Therapy)
One of the side effects is
memory loss. I hope they make me
forget the last woman in my life.
Life is so odd.
I'm locked in the nuthouse,
getting shock treatments.
She's home in her apartment,
cooking and cleaning,
crazy and mean as a ****-house rat.

A year is going to die
but its memories will stay
in the times ahead.

The success, the failure, the try
will be there next day,
the worries to carry to bed.

But over all else
the love I got
will still warm my heart.

As certain as time sails
what can't be bought
will be life's special part.

Was I as generous in giving
for this special gift I received
was I as kind?

The question is haunting
though I tried indeed
my best wasn't good enough I find.

Forgive me where I failed
didn't shine in the light
you let me be in.

I promise to make amend
and keep it in sight
loving you more is all I mean.

Another year
as before
despite the hype
will the future be better?

When we consider
human nature
its weaknesses and lacuna
how we wonder

for most lives
are lived in lack
of fulfilment
in the lack-lustre

2025 and all the years ahead
there would be nothing monumental
more of the grind, the existential vacuum
the monotony, the gloom, the fever

A new year is arriving
Soon
This is the last Tuesday of the year
On New Year’s Eve
At midnight
All over the world
We will turn a new page
One by one
A new year is on its way
We can’t stop it
It’s running towards us
Like a horse
It will be a new year
To start anew
Fresh
As the driven snow
It’s not hard
Just one step
At a time
We can all remake ourselves
To whatever we want
Just have hope
Just believe
Just light up the world
A new day is coming
Soon

He got a new young wife,
And with her two new children,
Buy one get two free.
Mum is mentally strong,
She didn't break down,
She opened a catering business from home.
We don't miss dad,
Mum has so much love and her time to give,
Like the gentle rays of sunshine,
That engulfs us in its warmth
Giving us new hope and encouragement each day
And that's enough for us.
