Let it be as the busker sang Our bargains in our hands As we passed a red King Kong The yellow sharp toothed shark The golden knight

The holiday that was hard to begin Darren had trouble getting his bags on the plane He had to apply for his American visa again

As the train loses track I want to jump back Choo Choo! The sky turns blue A big puff of smoke

Hope floats On a lily pad in a calming stream As a toad jumps from lily pad to lily pad Hoping he doesn’t fall in The butterfly

Only a poem knows Only so many rows Inked in a reflective pose

A rose with many faces Many petals intertwined Many voices speak at the same time In unison they recite every poetic line

My earthly world spins around my head Distorted by my brain fog Like thick, heavy, grey clouds Misting my brain

You have lived one life Carrying fresh spring water Quenching my thirst You stood tall Hardly, no curves at all!

I walk on a jelly land Along a sour rainbow string bridge Made of tangy liquorice Yes, it does dip

As I sit on the sandy beach Mind, thoughts and pain Always within my easy reach Encased in a silver brimmed birdcage

Snowflake warning The world has gone mad A bit of this A bit of that Warning alert on Roald Dahl!

The tiredness of the pain It cannot be held It cannot be seen Yet, like a slice of a knife The pain cuts through

Like a baby buried deep inside That is never satisfied Screams and cries Addiction runs through my veins Spoon fed

The Valentine fairy Sprinkling hearts Full of love

Reflections of me Rejuvenated, so many times Sometimes, I feel like Dr Who Only my long woolly scarf Linking my present to my past self

As we bite our lips Tap our finger tips Catching a beat The earth does shake I feel the electricity

Travelling spaceman Alien holds mankind in his hand Spaceman floats to the end of the galaxy Pointing finger to finger

Let’s reminisce Don’t diss the past It’s always chasing your ass It wasn’t always seen through rose tinted glass

A piece of art The pear with a shapely arse No one could resist Just a little bite A juicy delight

Pulling my strings Nakedness restrained In the strings
