Those Who Are Now Elderly Sit and Reminisce

Those who are now elderly sit and reminisce
of sweet idyllic days which often they miss.
Sitting as families in beaming abodes
whilst a flickering fire dances and glows
Cosy nights in with cards and knitting
and days in the garden, weather permitting.
Snakes and ladders with family members
bed time when fire burns to smouldering embers

At school they were eager and behaved well
parting from friends with kind farewell
walking home with no worries or cares
helping with tea, then bed after prayers.
Yes, they love to recall memories of times
they learned stories and recited rhymes.
Played games with balls and skipping ropes
grew up with imagination, dreams and hopes

Now the old are found to sit and moan
at the new technology they are shown
the transportation speeding past
how times have progressed much too fast
What happened to appreciating what you got
being thankful despite not receiving a lot
Now seized by temptation, money and greed
today we're consumed by the need to succeed

The loud and so-called 'unique' youth
appear as disorderly, rude and uncouth
the bright, colourful and distinct attire
Is received as offensive, obnoxious and dire
Teenagers walking in packs of elite
music blasting with no rhythm or beat
the old will avoid and cross the road
feeling hostile on return to their abode

The clashes in cultures cause opposition
juveniles grow with too much ambition
thoughts  consumed with riches and fame
money, films, music and fashion to blame
little time for families, never mind schools
displaying no respect and breaking rules
What happened to growing with parents as guide?
what happened to strolling in the countryside?

One Thing I Ask of You, Is That You Save My Heart

we both know it wont stop untill you do it;
you need to and you want to;
be cold
be ruthless
be bold
express

slice me limb from limb
its what i deserve
fill my despair to the brim
hack my every nerve

make each cut as painful as possible:
you need to and you want to;
each torch 
and stab 
each scorch
and jab 

cut each bit till all thats left
are useless slabs of meat
neither of us will be bereft
until then you wont be complete

one thing i ask of you
is that you save my heart
keep it as good as new
smiling face as we depart

Crush

Each insignificant touch and brush
makes me hot, makes me blush.
All of my thoughts im glad you can't hear,
showing my emotions is something i fear.
This build up is becoming hard to bear,
but i know you, and know you won't care.
Long ago you may have felt for me,
but i couldn't tell so i set you free.
New people were found, and me? Forgot.
To you i was insignificant, a blip or dot.
Still memories i have of a heartbeats rush,
yes you were my first, my biggest crush.

Antonym

Each night I fall awake
 a good days sleep before I wake down
I'll pretend and make the smile
 upright into to a frown
You ask and I'll get down for you
 and stand perfectly wobbly
Meet you on the shore with the sand
 so smooth and knobbly

Then Kill Me.

slice me
dice me,
stab me 
jab me,
poke and
prevoke me.
leave me
bereave me,
taunt me
haunt me,
whack and
hack me.
spike me
strike me,
hit me
slit me,
drill me
then kill me.

Not Perfect, Infact, Your the Opposite.

I dont want perfect i want my opposite
But despite the bickering please don't quit
I wont tell you, but you have my heart
And i'll think of you when were apart
We disagree on most, more than not
But our entwined minds have not forgot
The smiles, memories and moments shared
The hidden ways we've shown we've cared

The Frog and the Cow

Once upon a time, t'was not long from now
There once did live a frog and a cow
Neither were special or needed for much
Neither were pretty or soft to touch
The frog sang songs all day and night
The cow was patient and not very bright
Each little in common with the other at all
One so green and the other so tall
Neither agreed on life or its aim
Yet they completed each other all the same

How odd to think that a cow and a frog
Were happy together through fields and fog
Others would say it was wrong and strange
But they cared not a bit and never did change
Some would ask was it true love or fate
But they never replied and still havent to date
They didn't care about juldgements been made
As they were happy and so together they stay
But a day will come not far from now
Where a bitter end must come to the cow

See it did not matter how stong they were
No difference to them in slimey skin or fur
But farmers cared and drivers did too
So a fearful finish would always be due
Farmers needed their milk, meat and fat
While a car hit the frog with an almighty splat

Possibly, Maybe. Perhaps There's a Chance?

Maybe i annoy you and maybe i'm a pain
Maybe everything has changed and will never be the same

Maybe you still miss me, maybe you don't
Maybe things will all work out but chances are they won't


Possibly you'll see me, possibly one day
Possibly you might come back and this time want to stay

Possibly i'll say, i loved you all along
Possibly you'll forgive me for the times i got it wrong


Perhaps you remember, just perhaps you do
Perhaps a chance you never forgot the things I said to you

Perhaps a chance you hide it, hide it very well
Perhaps we'll manage to sort it out before the last farewell


Chances are we won't, chances come and go
Chances seem to pass us by with no luck and so

Chances i'll forget, least i can do is try
Chances missed must be let slip or else i cant help but cry

Heart Beats, Heart Stops, Stomach Hurls

It's ok, I dont need you anymore 
My feelings for you are gone i'm sure

Theres still the days that you walk past 
I smell your scent and my heart beats fast
Or the times i see you sitting with girls
when my heart stops and my stomach hurls

But thats fine it should stop in a bit
Although at times its hard i admit

I hurt you alot, time again
I put you through alot of pain

But its not just you who hurts so much
I torture myself with the loss of your touch
Just a glance of your smile can be enough
Yes indeed this year has been quite rough

But like i said, now im fine
So carry on while i watch you shine

My Man

The curves of your lips are laced with stories untold
The light in your eyes is lined with a love that is bold
The touch of your skin coated with a soul that is kind
The glow in your face displays your intelligent mind

You dance and you sing while you get lost in the mood
Streams of girls follow after and get pitifully wooed
They laugh and they flatter and will build you up high
While we wait for an entrance that is ever more nigh

No false flattery or loving will part from me in words
My feelings are held in my stomach of fluttering birds
The beaming smile on my face is a reflection of yours
While each jumping heart beat takes up flight and soars

Your not my soul mate, true love or my secret affair
Your the person who stole my mask and showed me bare
With your help I learned how to find my real inner me
In return I'll always be here for you, just wait and see
