Sometimes you just don’t want an egg,
you’re just not in the mood
It’s nothing personal to the egg
you just want another food.
Don’t get me wrong, I like an egg
just not shoved down my throat
if I want the egg I’ll fry it – poach it
whatever rocks my boat.
You eat the egg by all means
enjoy it like a winner
I just want to eat something else tonight
for my very special dinner.
Goodbye Sleep, it’s been fun,
but tonight I’ll forget when I ever had some.
For the nights are longer and the days are short,
and baby’s awake for much more than I thought.
Farewell Sleep, I hope you return,
but until you do I’ll just have to learn
to get through the night without you there,
for baby’s awake more often I fear.
Cheerio Sleep, it was good to meet you,
but for now I must say Adieu, sweet Adieu.
Au revoir for a while, so long and god-speed.
As long as baby’s awake it’s you that I need.
For all the mummies whose babies are certain to be awake tonight as the clocks go back tonight in the UK!
Starry Starry Night – Vincent Van Gogh
Open mouth
Self-obsessed
Pause for thought
Think.
Irrelevance
Nonsense words
Time it right
Wait.
Ineptitude
Wasting time
Foot in mouth
Hurt.
Thoughtlessness
sole-surviving
watch yourself
Feel.
I’ll find you in the darkness
I’ll shelter you from the storm
Travel far beyond the horizon
To keep your body warm.
You’ll find me in the darkness
You’ll carry me in the night
Set fire to the burdens
and keep our love alight.
I’ll find you in the darkness
I’ll keep you close to me
Walk hours till I reach you
and love you endlessly.
You’ll find me in the darkness,
You’ll turn my life around
To share a life together
In you my heart is bound.
He takes and takes and takes,
He drains and blames and aims
He lies and whines and cries,
my heart no longer breaks.
I give and give and give,
I fear and wear and tear
I ache, berate and wait,
For life to start to live.
I am, will be yet cannot see,
what’s staring right in front of me.
He stood there crumbling, a shell of the man he was,
haunted by his past that so sinisterly followed him into his future.
That broken man severed by the world, abandoned by his loves.
Strength had vanished.
His arms hung heavily by his side.
A broken man.
Disturbed and lonely.
That look in his eye of contempt, a feeling he could no longer weather.
Dark nights.
Screaming into pillows.
His life dissolving before him.
The collapse of love too much to bear.
She’ll never get me nor understand
They way I feel or who I am.
There are no lies nor is there spite
Why search the darkness for a fight?
Look at me, I’m easy to read
No hidden agenda just honesty.
I snap, I yell, I even cry
There are times when emotions run high.
I’m blamed for things I never did
You see me as a little kid.
A child who brought you so much shame
When really you were the ones to blame.
The past’s in the past yet I’ll never be free
The pain will continue relentlessly.
My words will be frozen I’ll aim to please
and I’ll face the fact that she’ll never get me.
Blissfully ignorant swimming through lies
Kick off your shoes and bathe in your ignorance
Float across a sea of blindness
Wallowing in arrogance
Blissfully unaware yet easily hurt
Playing the game with expert precision
Relaxing in a haze of bewilderment
Shame nor blame can play a part
A role you detach yourself from
Blissfully innocent
Yet brewing with hate
Ignorant by default
A dulling dumbness
Your toes can touch the shallow end
Blissfully inept
Blinded by the densest fog
Shielding yourselves from reality
Happily lost in an illiterate certainty
Ahhh ignorance is bliss.
Flutters through my tummy
Flickers of your love
Warming to your mummy
Watching from above
Flutters of affection
Wiggling your toes
Gives me a new perception
Of the life in me that grows
Flutters with ambition
Making mummy sick
Can be easily forgiven
When I feel your precious kick
Flutters of attention
Parade themselves all day
Instincts of protection
Are put on clear display
Flutters in your haven
I have my eye on you
A blessing our creation
Our little baby boo.
You think you know someone, you think you know them well.
You feel you trust them, as far as you can tell.
A little whisper, a little laugh behind your back
And trust is gone, in an instant, with a smack
In the face, hard as hell, you feel foolish once more
That you lay open to them as you have done once before.
Where to sit, what to say, who knows when they will turn,
be on your guard, stay alert, protection from their burns
Bitter words shatter hearts and tear apart one’s soul
Just treat me as a human being, treat me as a whole.
Who to trust, who to doubt, for that I’ll never know
For trust can be as strong as Zeus or fade away like snow.
Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.
