From the Heart
The emotional anguish that you feel is testing you right now.
You need to clear your head and mind, demolish it somehow.
You need to take a breath and hold, before you let it out.
I need you back and smiling, to forget what this is about.
My friend I’m sad that you are sad, I empathise with you.
I’ve got your back, l love you lots, I hate to see you blue.
So come and sit a while with me, let’s chew on it okay.
I want to help you cast it out, to get rid this shit today.
Boxes wrapped up with bright red string,
cream cakes for sharing hidden within.
Strawberry, chocolate coffee and lime,
so hard to choose when one at a time.
Big custard trifle in a bowl of cut glass,
the cherry on top I’ll save until last.
Sandwiches cut into triangles too,
minus the crusts and easier to chew.
It’s my birthday and I’m older again,
no guests to join me, Oh, what a shame!
I’ll eat up this spread all on my own.
Washed down with fizz – diet blown 😉
Daily Prompt – Cake
In a magic moment, I found what it was to love.
I did not find it in a book or in the skies above.
I found it the memories, the ones that I hold dear.
If only I had know back then, what today is clear.
Love is not so obvious, it takes you by surprise.
Returns as you are unaware, comes back in disguise.
It creeps up when your sleeping, or in another land
Then finally you feel it’s pull and you understand
Melody they called the child, they thought it had a ring.
The only think they didn’t do, was teach the girl to sing.
Assumptions are so common, if you think about a name.
Melodies are beautiful, so sure she’d sing just the same.
When Melody tried to sing, the birds would fly for cover.
Certainly no question as to why she never took a lover.
But if you go down to the cliff tops, looking up to the tip.
You’ll find her wailing out to warn of storms to all the ships.
September comes around to fast, it’s back before you know.
When will summer ever last, why does it have to go.
As a child when I was small, years stretched out so long.
I worry now, I take a nap, the summer might be gone.
And so the nights are drawing in, a real nip in the air.
Again you’ll find me by the fire, huddled in my chair.
Winter goes on, oh so slow, for days we’re trapped inside.
Why does the sun and sky so blue, always have to hide.
I think that I’m am very SAD, as I want the sun to stay.
Surely it’s not only me, who mourns as it goes away.
The word for today was shiver, well that was okay in the sun.
Now the night has come to rest, I’m feeling a little undone.
I’m reading posts about the cold, with lots out there on ice.
The others are quite spooky, I’m scared and not feeling nice.
So Daily Prompt please sort this out, remember I live alone.
Choose the words more carefully, I don’t want to shiver at home.
I shiver at the thought of it, the thought of losing you.
Cold ice runs through my veins, my skin is turning blue.
My life would be so barren, a landscape made from ice.
You my love, you bring the warmth, give a sense to life.
If you were gone, or hadn’t come, my life would be so cold.
You are the treasure that I need, you are my precious gold.

In response to the Daily Prompt – Shiver
I am just a silly pussy cat, not fierce in any way.
Look I smile if you don’t rile, please don’t go away.
Okay, I know I nip a bit, when you rub my belly.
I can’t be blamed, I’m happy, I think I turn to jelly.
I’m not a tiger, I’m not wild, I’m just a cat you see.
Now pick me up and pet me, or put me on your knee.
Which vice do you want, I have so many.
Vices and me well, they’re ten a penny.
In fact, if I didn’t have a couple or three.
It’d be so extremely boring, being just me.
The tipples I have, laughing with friends.
Love of handbags, that never quite ends.
Fast cars and speed, as long as their safe.
Holidays plenty, all and over the place.
If I didn’t have vices, there’d be just me.
Along with a bank balance, clearer to see.😉
Late summer sun, still shining as bright.
The days are shorter, soon comes the night.
You saw us through, with buckets and spades.
Down by the seaside, kids paddle and wade.
Melted the ice creams, warmed fruit to ripen.
You pulled out all stops, our days you did lighten.
Soon you must travel, to Summer’s beyond.
But know when you do, you’ll be missed when gone.
