If I can’t swallow your frigid heart
then let me kiss the traces of your
loneliness with my ugly mouth

And on a sleepless night
when your soul needs a cure,
I will be there with lavender tea

Would my grave be
deeper than my wounds?

Would the warmth of the morning sun
still reach my rotten body?

Would Icarus, my bird, fly to the sun looking for me
Is my selfish death going to cost him his wings, too?

Would the worms weep when
they ******* tormented flesh?
Waking up after lockdown
Life was getting a bit like, can I say ‘groundhog day’?
Where everything was the same each day,
The monotony was getting painful and boring,
And life didn’t seem to be worth living!
And then suddenly lockdown was lifted!
There’s a world out there!
Places to go!
People to see!
Still some restrictions but staying safe!
But what a change in life?
Enjoyment had gone but it’s back again!
Life is for living,
Life is for fun,
Off out right now for coffee and cake,
Meeting a friend now I am awake!
Nothing is solid
But everything is jellied together!
And nothing stays the same!
So what really is life’s aim?
What have we got to gain?
We are all vibrating Molecules vibrating At a different speed and time !
Even those who mime,
And these thoughts are also mine,
As in the celestial prophecy they explain what it’s all about!
We’re in we’re over and we’re out!
In life and death I have no doubt!
Life is but a mystery!
With scientific history!
Life baffles me! We are but here a short time ! Fascinating!
Hug a tree
Yes that is me
Talk to the plants
Tell them your rants
Don’t **** the ants
No don’t want them in my pants
Skinny dip, Is still quite hip
Walk in the garden naked under the light of the moon
Love to try it and quite soon!
Yes yes I do talk to the plants , actually they’re like triffids now! Massive! That’s probably cos I talk too much he he!!!!!
Why do I get so tired?
It’s not that my brain isn’t wired !
It’s working well so I can tell!
It’s the body, it cant understand I’m not twenty one any more!
I always say at thirty you’re in your prime,
Enjoy your life and you’ll be fine!
Forty they say life begins, I remember for my sins, fast car, surfing the waves, having fun enjoying my days!
At Fifty the aches and pains set in, slowing down and enjoying a gin!
Now I’m in my sixties oh dear, my worst fear, now comes the ails and pales, aches and pains, breaks and bruises, blisters from my shoesies, stiffness and fatigue!
Looking forward to back to back cruises,
I’m not going in a care-home, oh no!
I don’t think I’ll make the eighties though!
Looking forward to retire, slowing down,
and doing just what I want to do or not do!
Ageing  is a reality! But gotta keep going!
