************************
Pristine splendor, saunter dark path
I glimpse mandrakes in sparkling gleams
Orrery hymns swirl in sharp wrath—
Pristine splendor
I hope my tender truism teems
The delights of daylight might bathe
In aureate blooms and blest beams
Shades of lilac writhe through dark lath,
Hushing zephyrs, snuggle word-streams
Heart lilt, bearing proud thorns of cath—
Pristine splendor

My neighbour Cath visited me
cat followed, but Cath did not see
puss piddled then shat
on my Persian mat
it was a true catastrophe!

Cath is totally besotted with her five pussycats,
their cute ears stick out from under blue hats.
She dresses them in brightly colored plastic suits,
and on their paws they wear red wellington boots.
Cath’s kittens, all have colorful jackets to wear,
She takes the cats ’walkies’, oh how people stare.
When Cath gets them home she brushes their fur,
with their tails held high they all gently purr.
She minces best fillet steak for their dinner,
whilst the pussies get fat, old Cath gets thinner.
Spinster Cath’s never been a mother or a wife,
so her adorable cats have taken over her life.
One day little Archie ran out of the door -
he’d never been out on his own before,
Sadly poor Archie didn’t get very far
as the cute little cat was killed by a car.
Cath arranged for him to be mounted and stuffed
when she saw the result she was really chuffed!
Dear Archie now lies in such sweet repose
and Cath just can’t resist tickling his pink nose.

Catherine - I Dare To Dream
I see you here I see you there
I see you almost everywhere!
Each time I speak, I call your name
Each time I listen, hear your voice
Each time I see you, feel the same
Each time I feel that you’re my choice
To be with you I have to feign…
….Uh.,oh!!! ……There you go again!!!
I see you here I see you there
I see you, hear you, loud and clear.
Each time you weep - I cry with you
Each time you chuckle, I do too
Each time you exhale - I inhale
Each time you feel sad - I go pale
To love in vain is cold like rain…
…Brrrr!!!….Here we go again!
I see you here I see you there
I see you, feel you, want you near.
Each time I blink, your face perceive!
Each time I think .. ‘you’re make-believe’!
Each time I dream, you are the theme
Each time I sigh.. ….“it’s just a dream”!!!
To win your heart, sleep must remain…
…ZZzzz!!… Off I go again!

This is coming from a desperate heart
Feelings that even the heart itself cant explain
Sometings i blame myself for being bald
I come to hate the little guts i had i to tell you what i feel
I thought i would somehow get close to your heart
And tell you the secrete that mine hides
But now i seem to have driven you away
Cath,truly speeking im dying inside
And i always blame myself for expossing my feelings to you
Here is my letter of appology to you
Please forgive me for being honest
Please dont drift so faraway from my world
Let me find a consolation in your smiles
I cant promise not to love you
But i can promise to keep it to me
Maybe you can be my friend
Maybe i can be a better friend
This is my letter of apology to you
Please Cath,forgive me
