Leaving with a bit of a sigh, but leaving without a tear in the eye, leaving with a smile and a cheery goodbye, leaving and looking forward to home, leaving with a happy heart, after seeing family and friends from a safe distance, and in these difficult times, wishing COVID-19 would go as quickly, as…

Leaving the shore
Leaving the shore and the beach, to the sound of the waves crashing, and to the horizon out of reach. Softly do words echo into the darkness, and out of sight as the light of the boat, flickers in the solemnity, and the soliloquy of the night, the sailor turns the wheel and stares ahead,…
Leaving for the last time
Leaving for the last time, with no tears in the eyes, looking to the future, and so happy in your heart, with a million thoughts of the future in your mind, and as the footsteps lead ever onwards, with joyous steps, with joyous steps, may your life always be defined.
Leaves of all beauty and size
Leaves of all beauty and sizes, green and red and in all colours that nature devises, upon the trees, and falling free so elegantly, and as beautiful as can be, leaves in their wondrous variation and their intricacies, so, delicate and tender, and whether alive or dead, how glorious their form, and shape that has…
Lead on
Lead on, be a saint would you, for my eyes, they are a little weak, and I seem to have forgotten, where we should be going, amongst this maze of streets, and as the snow falls, I have no wish to freeze, and no wish to end up, in a permanent sleep, so, lead on,…
Laying in the dark
Laying in the dark, with no light, and the ruminations of my heart, and only the contemplations of my mind for company, how quiet the wasteland of the soul, and a heart torn apart, from previous loves that I have known, and with so many thoughts to meander through, the brain races without a pause,…
Last goodbye
Earth beneath me, sky above, clouds, white doves. Peace, peacefully laid to rest, a friend with his hands across his chest, a friend with a peaceful smile upon his face, in a last goodbye, to the human race. Goodbye my friend, rest well, and may no worries travel with you to the other end, may…
KKK
We clambered over the barricades, we clambered over the barricades whilst drinking lemonade, we came to see your charade, your ugly parade, and you stood there with your racism, blowing up amongst the crowd like a hand grenade, and we looked at you and pitied you for your ignorance, you the KKK, you the KKK…
Kiss me
You and me, upon a swing in the sun beneath a tree, and the first kiss, a glorious bliss, sending me into heaven, and thrilling my senses, and sending excited shivers through me, so, kiss me, kiss me again, for it is only 10.30am and I have all day, and no, I am not going…
Killing time
Killing time, killing time, is not as fun as it should be, and time it drags so slowly on, in life’s multiple miseries, and I wish it was not so, for time is not meant for wasting, and wasting time, is not what life should be about, but it happens far too regularly, because all…
