Mary Gay Kearns Mar 2018
In the bottom of the wardrobe
A pair of white patent shoes
With a gold buckle, glued,
You loved my shoes
Wedding shoes
In the bottom of a wardrobe
Made for two.

Our wedding day guest room
Small and neat
An almost empty wardrobe for
People to rent,
Ours was filled with one hanging shirt
A wedding day suit
And a plastic belt.

We slept in a bed
Which smelt of sea air
At breakfast we sat near
A gun man's chair
Eating fried eggs and soaky bread,
Then off to the beach
Streets ahead.


Getting sunburnt
All over our backs
Time to make, homeward tracks,
Out of the wardrobe came my shoes
Still as shiny, almost brand new
Put them on with a clackerty clack
Held you hand all the way back.

To Roger love Mary xxc

Wipe these sobs
Teary eyed
Streaks on cheeks
Stiffle moans
Runny nose

Snort the mucus
Clear the sputum
Puffy eyed
Soaky pillow
Hoarse voice

It is alright
It is over
Gone forever
Buried in Dirt
Wasted years

Drenched in sweat
Fever pitch nights
Pillow comfort
Tossing n turning
All night long

It is a new Dawn
Sun is rising
Moon is setting
Birds are chirping
Write a new flow
Find thyself

Live free
Fly your path
New and bright
Forget forever
The past is gone
You are alive

— The End —
