Word Order

Word Order 

It's shambolic 
Spilling all over the page, 
My feelings, my anger,
Sometimes my rage, 
Words scrambled,
Fighting for a place 
Letters needing sorting,
Put in the right case,
A beat needs established
So it gently flows, 
What to go with ?
A rhyme?
Some prose ?
Once completed, 
Its sounds good 
Kinda of neat, 
But as I go to bed 
My thoughts are 
Was it worth it, 
Will it ever be read ?

Awakenings

Awakenings 

A grey, dooming fog encroaches my heart, 
Shivers tingle, throughout my being. 
Life yearning for a jump- start
As the darkness begins its fleeing!

Assaulted cruelly by bright glare, 
Eyes slowly, unhinge... sleepily .
Brain gently engaged, suddenly aware! 
Sleepy visions had possessed me deeply.

Bright rays embalm my soul and mind, 
Warmth stirs my creativity, 
Monsters long left behind ,
Sunshine has given me my liberty.

Dead meat

Dead Meat 
(feet)

                                                                                                             
                                                                                                           
There they are on the end of my legs, 
Strange horrid things that sometimes look dead. 
When I'm sitting they sometimes look blue, 
Other times when  I've been running they take on a violet hue .

I paint the ends red, the bits that stick out! 
Supposedly they look pretty , it something,
I doubt!


We wrap them up in black leather and  brown suede, 
We hide them away so they aren't on parade.
Ugly, painted pretty ,covered or bare, 
They're something we need and should always be there
But if you see mine promise
 Don't Stare

Lets Talk

 Lets Talk!

Speak to me, and tell me what you mean?
My sense of responsibility don't you demean!
I understand about money, family and love.
We said we'd accept each other, to god above 
That means for good better or worse. 
Allow me to think of more, not just what's in my purse. 
I know more than cleaning, babies and the curse! 

I'll accept lives troubles and woes,
I need to know how each of your days goes
Perhaps I can help you, listen, advise
Just don't make life better by telling me lies. 
I know there's problems I can't make disappear 
But if we can talk and listen, love and partnership may reappear !

So lets us talk, discuss, 
The problems, our feelings, our trust .
For with, this I believe, 
The anger and tension will be relieved 
Our minds, bodies and souls can join in union 
Perhaps then the old romance and feelings will enjoy a reunion. 

Lets talk !
