Retirement

Retirement
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Stop working now
The hopeless boss
Who gives you no hope
The nine-to-five grind
Is over now
Retirement
Exit, exit excite
Up, up away
Banjo your mango
Man goes
Peddle your medal
On your salad day
Now is not the time
To join the navy
The prospects look good
And plum the perks are
Light up the shadows of your heart
The acceptable goodbyes are gone
Cunning and guile is over now
Your time hath come now
You have been on
The see-saw of redemption
And have seen
The trickery and deceit of
The coconuts
The valor of the dastard
Made you suffer for your pound
And their illustrations of deception
Their myths of abstractions
In silence you could not reply
But be shut and sulk.
You were brave
Your time is art now
And no more tick tock
Before the haunted dark
Peachy life now
Sleeves are down
Your retirement eve
Grow rich, go rich and
Trumpet your comfort.

Funny Numbers

Funny Numbers
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Numb I have suffered
And by God done I am
Lord.. 
So many characters 
Too many teachers
Yell and try to tell
How to sauce 
The spice of life
And I am just a day old.
Two you fall in love
4 you will rue
They break your heart
In 25 pieces
And give you
Zero back.
It's the beginning
They four get.
It's the end
Like 12th of never
They remember
And blame you 33 times.
Put them on ice
Have a double
With no tot trouble.
Now a triple
And equal them
To zero.
Even 11 is even
If you hush out 1
Now I am one
Goin solo 
Not duo 
First in line
Sho go away
Want to be alone
Whimper somewhere else.
It's my album.
I start my life
To count
Up to five.
I know the abc
A B C
It's incredible code.
I am no 123456789
Calculate..
Arithmetic becomes electric
One in a billion
Nor the first
I count on me' self
Digit fidget fiddle
Credit or debit
Twiddle twitch
Overdrafted with
Needles and pins
Arithmetic rhythm
Hum de wow
After 5 minutes
Hum de whaa.
Caught 22
You get it ...
You 007 ?  .. relax ..
Odd man very odd
You will be 66 and
Outstanding old gold.
Zero zero seven
I give you 10 
from 10.
But I ..
Eye for one
Now just be 1
In the million.

The Janitor

The Janitor
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

He takes the wipe and aims
At the drip of urine
He looks and concentrates
With deep ambition to
Wipe it clean and dry.

He marches proudly up and down
And flushes clean what's left behind
He walks here and there
And wipes whenever he can
He keeps it clean.

His face is brutal humble
He does not grumble
It is no trouble
To clean a fumble.

His shoes is shining black
He is tidy neat
Tonight he will 
Put food on the table.
And give thanks.

Thank you
Janitor
No one ever says.

Good Morning

Good morning
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Good morning 
Sweet daughter 
In my morning tea
I see you
I am thinking ..
Where ever you are ..
What ever are 
You doing now ..
Our hearts are aching for you 
We feel you near.
We love you with every tick tock ..
Have a wonderful uplifting day
Keep strong and know that 
You have done us proud.

You.. our beautiful gallery
I have seen you grow
From pitter and patter ..
To crawl and walk
From trial and try
And brave became
From shy to shine
Now standing tall
On your own two feet
You smile I smile
Right on time
Tick tock
Sync..sync..
Our mind's link
Together we wink

Erotic Mystery

Erotic Mystery
poem
Lionel Derbyshire

The morning smells like roses 
The night is left behind.
Two bodys rolling over organs 
Waiting and slithering close
There are no walls 
To divide kisses
Hearts are erotic 
Love is rage.
The ecstasy starts
Bodys grow stiff 
Parts are pouting.
Honey flowing streaming 
Fearing no caveats.

The morning smells like roses.

The sheets they slip
Sharp nails etch
Every blue vein in ire 
Crying deep.
The lips rapture
The seduction myteriously.
The eyes are close 
Hearts are pounding , 
Cupid is in loving brace 
such like Eros in blythe
And Aphrodite just lushes about.

Or am I just ..
Swirling bordeaux.

My Garden

My Garden
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

My garden I want it to be best.
The rain will make it unforgettable.
Your memory in should last forever.
My garden should be a nice guy
Like the bosom of a lovely lass
I want to touch.
Sunflower formely seed  ..
Oh sunflower yellow bright treat.
Eden I defy mine is choicer
Lillys peeled and spread in ringent white
Agapanthus devoir and set in blues of wonder.
Roses colour bloom and ready to jab
All along the daffodils waiting to thrill.
Crimson carnations no regrets of love lost
Just a new flame in me and passion wise.
Strelitzia magnificent in a kaleidoscope of five.
Hyacinth by and large how high will you grow ?
My garden a mix bouquet of anniversarys 
A showcase in celebration.
If my imagination behind these bars 
Let me touch them  .. once i was free.
Free to wander
How wonderful my garden ..
Free to ponder.

Elation and Vacillation a Comedy

Elation & Vacillation a comedy
A poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Every day I want to .. but I could not
Today I must do .. I have to
Yesterday I let it go away so today 
I will not run dry, I will , I must
I have done my mirror practice
And I looked so good so here goes
Cannot wait another minute
Before I bleat myself with over worry
Must not become tense this is really it
Will not plummet , will not go down
Rise I am the centre of my universe
No need to annex my courage
The time has really come 
Come on now, chin is up on high
My teeth is white, my smile is wide
My shoes are polished , my shirt is ironed
I am top class.
I m a getting there after I leave here
I will swing my arms when I get there
I will stand on my own two feet  
I will sway and dance with joy
Confidently I have such  high hopes 
Singing now, no doubt about it 
I ‘ll be over the moon when Sally says “YES”
So here goes …. Shelly will you marry me  ??

Whack smack ! wrong girl …

Confidence

Confidence
Poem 
Lionel Derbyshire

A waste of wonder time
In camouflage
Will wear you down.
No pace , less value
It does not comfort you
Like a warm eiderdown.

Time waste 
You drown standing.
Rapid roots grow 
In your boots.
In a worthless place
Where it is only space
Here .. there .. everywhere.

You are at sea
Confused and smoked
And can't swim.
You scratch a leaf
And puff in an ashtray
And call it achieve?

Scared you want
The phone to ring
Your ambitions are
Now detained.
No confidence
And the lack
Will break you down.

A rattlesnake calls
And say
Time for change !
The decoy
Means no blessing
It's repulsion ..

The snake
Will try grace
And waste your ear space.
Then slither back
To it's cave 
After burying you under

Once upon 
In womb time
You wore the crown.
With faith and confidence
A bountiful reminder
You all you have.
It is you have.

Confidence..
Now try
There is still flesh
On your bone
It's up to you.
It is on you
It's all about you.

Gossip

Gossip
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

O scratchy ear 
Why you itch 
Is someone near ?
I am just sitting down
Looking at a tile 
Which is plastered down
On a floor
With an empty soul.
I contemplate
With frightly expectations.
No thing is guaranteed.
I hear scandal
Lip's are describing me
Heartly tearing me
Their word's are not dear
Tearing right down to the bone.
They myth and they lie
Festering my flesh.
Their knives are long
Castor could be right ..
Pollux could be wrong
Bright stars dim me light
Gemini's out of sight
Their justice talking
Music to my ears ?
Or lyrical decadence
What is the difference ..
In their deceit
There to amuse
Their lie's of me.
Their bugs don't hurt
They stab in my back
Right into my pride.
Word's sorely heard.
