I want to be your        
favourite poem
like the one
That becomes
Eternal
In your memory
That you find
Yourself constantly
Day dreaming
On cloud nine for
Your greatest escape,
A clash between
Illusion and cravings
Drifting away
As thunder striking
Stars exploding
Earth shattering
As our world align
Mouth full of us
Dripping lips
like honey
on a biscuit
Intoxicating thoughts
Drunken eyes
A word at a time
Nothing else matters
Only you and me
like Bonnie and Clyde
Your forever lasting poem
Opened gate of
A yearning desire
In a forever fleeting world

Fatty and Skinny
were in the bath
Fatty blew off
and Skinny laughed
Three white doves sitting still
No use flying now
Danger everywhere.
Waiting.
HOPE….

Child,
sitting in the cellar,
crying.
Mothers,
sitting numb,  
praying for LOVE….
Men,
shooting guns
throwing bombs.
For PEACE….

Hope- Love - Peace will get us through life.
It’s ironic that we fight for peace.

More than ever possible to have.
Seems more might be necessary but source unknown.
Not sure if tap is dry?
Seems some are too wrapped up in their own to spend time with others or their friends.
So, you do things on your own because you have to be your own best company.
You cancel and delay plans and hope to reschedule.
Spear of the moment isn't as easy as before but hope it will come around again.
Some mean well but need to learn to say nothing if they have nothing nice to share or say.
Patience is a virtue which I hope visits again.
