Moonstruck Josette
There's a sad tale told of moonstruck Josette
Who's love turned into ashes of regret
She found romance when only sweet sixteen
With the most handsome man she'd ever seen.
Though he treated her unkindly at times
Josette overlooked those menacing signs
She adored him despite his cruel trait
Then came the day he decided her fate.
He took her to a wood where no one goes
Josette felt he was well nigh to propose
He said to close her eyes and count to ten
Poor Josette never opened them again.
Down in the woods lies a silent Josette
Her demise so tragic one can't forget.

I wake, I eat
I bathe, I shop
I cook, I survive.
Minutes, seconds
Tick by
And I survive.
I communicate with friends
Never knowing if I will ever
See them again.
Or if they will fade
Into obscurity
Like the thousands before them.
This is what it's like
To be alive in a poisoned world.
And the seconds tick by.

You are my beautiful partner
You're such an amazing mum
Our family is so happy
Because we have lots of fun
This is due to you being so ace
A true inspiration to the human race
Jack, Jeni and Josh love you so
You're Our constant were letting you know
Our beautiful mummy bird
We can't say in just one word
Your fun your cool your fantastic
Always there not like elastic
You're a fixer a maker a doer at best
This we say without jest
We love you mummy with all our heart
Even when we are apart
I write this on thier behalf
As they're too little like a baby calf
Sweet Josette don't change your way
From all of us Happy Mothers Day
I keep your picture
By my bed.
So when I flip the covers back
I can slap you in the face.
Just as you have slapped mine.
Not with your hand
But with your cold indifference.
Josette Davis Key 2009
Oh, you children of the night
Please don't try to hide.
I know you're there
I can feel your stare
And I know you see me too.
I've seen you lurking in the shadows
On many a moonlit night.
I've seen that look in your cold, dark eyes
That look of ice and fire.
To the unknowing passer by
You seem to be only a shadow
But I know you for what you are
Nothing but evil and power.
So all you children of the night
Hide in the shadows if you must
But you're really nothing more than dust.
And you can never hide from me.

I've been on this phone
For over an hour
Waiting to hear your voice.
To you
I'm just a blinking light
On your phone.
But I'm a person
A living, breathing
Human Being.
So, if you're tired
And annoyed
Please remember
One thing.
I had better plans for today
Than spending it on the phone
Waiting to hear your voice.
Josette Davis Key 2018
I stood today
And watched them say
'Goodbye' to you.
So many tears
So much sorrow
For a life so full
Of fun and laughter.
You would not have wanted that
All you would have wanted from us
Was a few smiles and happy memories.
Maybe some day
When the pain is not so fresh
There will be smiles
And we'll remember when.
But for today
We will have to be content
With our tears.
Josette Davis Key 2018
You are my friend
Even though
I've never heard your voice.
You are my friend
Because I simply
Made that choice.
We've never met
But you still fill my world
With poetry, smiles, and laughter.
Even when my world turns dark
You are just and email away.
You are my friend because I know
From you, honesty there will always be.
An ocean separates us
But poetry will always bring us together.
And you will always
Be my friend.

2017 comes to an end
I'm happy to be with my best friend
As you know her name is josette
The best friend a man could get
Loyal loving and great fun
Have a laugh in the rain or sun
My life my world she truly is
Now world you need to listen to this
On Christmas day she opened her prize
A diamond ring twinkled in her eyes
With a little note on the side
Will you marry me be my bride
With a tear shed in her eye
If she were Scottish she just said aye
But in English the words did flow
The answer world was not no
It was a big Yes to my big act
I love her so much that is a fact
United together we will now be
Forever and ever total unity
So friends and family we wish you well
2018 I hope will be swell
I know my years get better and better
Even if the weather is wetter and wetter
Happy new year from my fiance and I
I'm as happy as a man eating ale pie
I did not see
The little bird
That flew into
The window pane.
I only heard a thump
And it's little chirp of pain
As it lay dying
In the cold, hard rain.
Poor little bit of life
That no one really saw
But God.
I feel like that little bird sometimes
Lost and alone
In my own world of pain.
Josette Davis Key 2017
Yes it's that day again my dear
A day we sing and cheer
I love you bird for all you do
So here's a Happy Birthday just for you
Happy birthday josette you are the best
Definitely better than all the rest
So sweet and kind and full of fun
Open the curtains feel that sun
You bring laughter and happiness to us all
You are the queen of the ball
Have fun and relax you deserve it
Chill out enjoy abd on your bum please do sit
I mean it jo this is just for you
Happy birthday from us just too you
Love you sweetheart
In this life partners come and go
But im pleased to say I have Jo
She has been there for me
Through thick and thin
If she hadn’t been there
Where would I have been
The love of a good lady like her
Theres nothing else I can compare
A real woman with a heart of gold
Im a lucky guy even if im old
Shes a legend with a real fight
But only for the things that are right
Im glad that im the one for her
Im her man and that’s a fact
This bloke here aint turning back
Josette Jo bird I love you so
Together our love will but grow
As tall as mountains and wide as the sea
Together forever you the world will see
As a couple we are so strong
Together is where we belong
I know a lot of people will doubt
But you know what hear me shout
I love you Josette you are the best
So let them come and try and mess
Our humble home is full of love
And kindness, happiness a laughter
This is the beginning of our chapter
Until the day when we pass
Our lives will be good
As we kick ass
LOVE YOU JOSETTE WITH ALL MY HEART
I built an altar
To my love
Of lies and tears
And pain.
I built an altar
To my love
But it was all in vain.
My love was not
An honest man
And drove me
Near insane.
No altars built
For mortal man
For none of them are worthy.
I will build my altar
Unto God
Cause only he's
Worth serving.
Josette Davis Key 2016
Nothing to think of
Nothing to prove
Just sitting here thinking
Alone in my room.
No one to care for
No one to love
Just sitting and waiting
For a sign from above.
Just stuck here in neutral
Alone in my groove
Just sitting here thinking
Alone in my room.
I had love
I had passion
A reason to live.
I had drive
I had purpose
With so much to give.
Now I'm sitting here waiting
Alone in my room
Just sitting here waiting
With nothing to prove.
Josette Davis Key 2015
Now I lay me down to sleep
With tired back
And achy feet.
Today I've been to Hell and back
And still can't seem to hit the sack.
Problems, problems in my head
Heart pounds loud enough
To wake the dead.
House is silent as a tomb
All around is doom and gloom.
Feel so alone at this late hour
Oh God, if it be within your power
Please let me sleep for one good hour.
