Ice Cream Days

Ice Cream Days 

It's an ice cream day 

Yummy, Yummy 

Hip! hip! hooray!

Blue skies and sun rays ,

Yummy, Yummy

It's an ice cream day !

The sun is shining and the sky is blue, 

Not a lot one can do, 

But lick and indulge in creamy coldness,

Pistachio, Chocolate or flavours with boldness. 

Eat it quick before it drips, 

Feel it oozing between your lips, 

Feel the iciness slide all the way down, 

It will keep you smiling and banish all frowns !

Enjoy an ice cream day 

Yummy, Yummy,

Hip! Hip! Hooray !

Be a kid for your ice cream day, 

Soak up the sun and skies of blue 

You know it's what you want to do !

Yummy, Yummy,

Hip! Hip! Hooray !

We've waited so long for our 

Ice Cream day !

Raining Cats and Dogs

Raining Cats And Dogs 

The limitless, rhythmic, rain 

Constant,

Upon the window 

Splish, splashing, mesmerizing 

Me into daydreams

In it's hypnotic incessant, 

 Obese clouds idly wandering around 

Holding July hostage, 

Calling a halt to the glitter of sun 

Upon my dreams.

The Waiting Game

The Waiting Game 

She waited for you 

She watched the clock 

Slowly ticking, tick, tock 

She held hope in her heart 

This was her new start, 

The man of her dreams 

Or so you seemed 

She waited for you 

She thought one 

might become two 

Gin was her solace 

Alone in the darkness 

She waited for you 

Tear stained face 

At the thought of your embrace 

She had her dreams 

Of her ideal scene 

Her and you 

Just you two 

She waited !

Let The Love Grow

Let The Love Grow 

As Man and Wife

You'll build the foundations of your love,

Each kissed placed

Should be your building bricks,  

Warm emotions will radiate, create 

Love of the unknown, 

A wealth of understanding to be nurtured

To be grown.

Your foundations will solidify through your years,  

The laughs, the smiles,

Sometimes the tears, 

Together you will merge, entwine,

Solo outside, but inside combined,

New Memories will be made 

filed,

To create your new joint history,

Your future together an intriguing mystery!

But love is organic 

It will flourish and grow, 

Love will regenerate, create even more,

The fresh roots of love will bind

In time,  

Emotions will reach fresh heights, intensify,

Mature !

You must cherish your foundations and roots ,

So your love remains fresh,

New growth will reveal new shoots 

So your two souls can combine to live ,

Forever,Together, 

Spring should remain constant in your hearts, 

Always new ground to uncover, 

New gifts to be found,

Discovered! 

Love is your gift ! 

My Daughter asked me to write something for her forthcoming marriage this is the amalgamation of several previous writings combined with my love and hopes for her and her future husband

Running Out Of Time 

Tick, tock, tick, tock, 
Time is running out 
Its a race against the clock 
Tick...Tock
Tick, tock, tick, tock, 

Blood is been filtered, 

Dialysis still leaves me feeling crock, 

Tick...... tock 

Tick, tock, tick, tock,

Lungs scream for air, 

Scarred, ruined, unable to repair. 

Tick......... tock 

Tick,  tock, tick tock,
Heart is slowly beating, 
Until its final stop, 
Tick.............. ........Tock 
Tick ,tock ,tick, tock,
People can be saved ,
The situation is grave,

Tick ,tock, tick, tock
Time is running out, 
Its a race against the clock,

Tick, tock, tick, tock ,

A Chance At Life 

I sat with tubes of red coming in and out of veins 

A ritual to endure, if in life I was to remain,

A life of weakness and lethargy,

Conversing with others almost like a zombie.

Thanking god for advances in technology 

He lay only alive because of machines, 

Bloods and tissues positively  matched and screened.

One family mourns, cries and grieves,

One family smiles relieved at the reprieve. 

Thanking god for advances in technology

The donor may be gone from earthly plains 

Thou he and his brave family have allowed me to remain

For both families he is in our hearts 

He has let my life happily restart

Thank god for his  ideology 

Thank You !

Another Rainy Day

Another Rainy Day 

Another dismal, sleepy, stirring

To melancholy drops cascading,

Through the depressing morning curtain call,

The beating of my heart matching the rhythmic beat

Of those relentless drops,

Hope in my heart diminished,

By negative ions bombarding the atmosphere,

Rain be banished ! 

Allow the rays through, 

A glimpse, a hope to survive, 

Let my heart feel light. 

Lift my spirits, 

Energise, let me feel a rebirth,

The seasons are out of kilter 

My being feels splintered 

Out of sorts! 

Let The sun shine !!!!!

My Mountain

My Mountain 

He's always been like a mountain to me, 

Always there tall and strong, 

Forgiving me no matter what went wrong 

In his shadow was my haven, 

Even when naughty and misbehavin, 

In his arms he kept me 

Safe and sheltered from worldly harm. 

He's always been a mountain to me 

Allowed me to be me, be free, 

He's heard the moans of my strife

All through his life ,

I'm still in awe 

Though he knows me no more, 

Loving him is a joy not a chore 

The man mountain that is constant in my mind 

Remains with me still, 

Though now its harder to climb 

He'll always be my mountain,

Freedom State

Freedom State 

Is freedom just a state of mind? 

A loss of things once defined, 

Is freedom unique to each being?

Of growing up, childhood fleeing, 

Freedom is to breathe and be alive, 

Not needing machines just to survive, 

Freedom is to move and take control,

Of our environs, our personal fish bowls,

Freedom is a state of mind! 

Not caused by war, or government defined!  

Freedom to think, love and feel 

Should be the core of the freedom wheel!

Show me you care,                                      
I want a kiss, one we can share !

Kiss me, kiss me
Not on my cheek!
I want a kiss, not a peck to look chic!

Kiss me, kiss me,
With sensual lust,
Those are the kisses, that are a must!

Kiss me, kiss me
Till are senses are skewed,
Love is ours, what's to lose ?

Kiss me!! kiss me !!!
