Praise be to the tranquil home
Where care and amity abide

This boat is full,
A vessel overflowing.
In darkness people talk.
A child is crying.

I close my eyes,
Lock out the world.
I envision drab gloom

As lightweight trunks
Around my gaunt calves.

We left, so many nights ago,

Deferment of death.

With trembling fingers I poured Merlot wine
Overflowing the rim of his chalice
Salty drops on my lips, the taste of brine

I fished in the sink for a cod
and landed a whole dolphin pod;
the bath and the loo
were full of them too -
but whales were too much for the rod...

Fragments of moonlight illuminated 
the lighthearted waves of fluttering leaves,
as the breeze cradled them in its sainted
web it was spinning round with shifting weaves.
With unspoken disagreement weighted 
down by possessive boughs on autumn's eves.

Like a thief the wind was overflowing 
with brown leaves turning swiftly...

A little playful carefree smile
appeared magically,
filling every inch of my face,
slowly  spreading out
reaching the heart,
that unfamiliar happiness,
Overflowing mind with satisfaction
self approval and pride ,
there happened the rebirth
of my confidence , the new me??...

Made from years of tears
Boiled over and spilled
Putting out my desire
To cry any more tears
For the carrots I need
To feel feed....

If the title is suggestive they watch me 
put their name in it they watch me 
the only time they get attention 
the only time they get a mention 
centre stage, run the show, 
watching me because they know

Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie.


Tis here that I met you on a pleasing summer morn
Where blossoms of the cherry, out on the bough, adorn;
Underneath the cherry tree euphoria welled soon,
I met you in the morning, I loved you by...
