Twenty days from now like magic will bring
Another dawn and the first day of Spring
because it's Lent I've stopped my drinking
It's good for my liver, that's what I'm thinking.
Steady, boys. Steady
It's springing already.
Although Winter is abated it lies
Patiently waiting with threatening skies
That's what it's like in Birmingham
But even there the Spring will come
Lent lillies already pointing their heads
Eastwardly in their unkept flowerbeds
But it's turned damp and cold again
It's miserable and grey and looks like rain
Constant days of mizzling with fine mist
A ray of sunshine is top of the list
And yet, no doubt, in a month or two
You'll be moaning it's too hot for you
Ahh until then Summer is but a dream
Snuggly resting like clouds of clotted cream
In the strawberry jam streaked blue scone sky
A wonderful cream tea day for you and I
But who knows just what the future will bring
As nature explodes and erupts this Spring
This the first day brings us nature's profusion
Greening up with annual weed intrusion
All of a sudden the sky seems more blue
And the eye can espy many a hue
Deciduous trees all starting to bud
Fresh growth emerging from e'en gnarled old wood
While the crows are nesting in the tree tops
Smaller birds are feathering in the copse
April showers with a sprinkling of hail
Sees saplings bend and their tiny limbs flail
But it's all a part of old nature's ruse
As often the seasons they do infuse
Only in England so old moaners say
Can you get all four seasons in one day

A letter to love?
Would be too hard to write
An open sore
That one day just might
Leak out blood
With a part of your soul
An open wound
That a lover has stole
A fool for love
A part many have played
Everyone from a king
To a chambermaid
We never learn
Even when we know the score
The music playing
Is a tune we've heard before
Is a life alone
Truly a double edged sword
Even from the womb
There's a communication cord.

Dont believe them all
When they say that I am dead
I surely will survive
While my thoughts are in your head
The best thing you can learn in life
Is to go and live it every single day
Let no mood or anyone
Put barriers in that way
Dont believe them all
When they say that I am gone
My name is love
I'll be back before long
My brother Hope
and my sister Faith too
May go a little thin sometimes
but...they'll stick by you.

Care in our community
The information leaflet
says "Hypothermia"
The print's too small to read
Aint that the way they gets ya?
Victims stumble fall
They get forgetful turn blue
Their pupils dilate while
Shivering uncontrollably too
It's not just our elderly
The down and outs are choice
P'rhaps cause some are alcoholics
No-one hears their voice
Sleeping in old doorways
Too stewed up to care
Discarded needles cider skins
Are in evidence there
Some even drink the handwash
To get a tiny lift
Staggering to find a squat
Lost souls on their night shift
Thay cant squat in houses
Since we changed that law
Windowless empty factories
Welcome them to a blackened floor
Somewhere at a drop in facility
Some get food and well fed
Still after many a frosty night
Many are found dead......

Death is the final step
You don't get to take
The ultimate move
You cannot make
The greenest pasture
That palpable promised land
The only unbeatable
Wicked poker hand
The secret smile
That wont show on your face
The one the undertaker
Manipulates on your face
The lippy that demands
Another wet kiss
The unknown parting
Into that uncertain abyss.

There are doors in the mind
You may never find
Openings that exist
Only when you are pissed
That clarity you seek
Just makes your mind weak
Stretching your imagination
Whatever the situation
Too see what you want to see
Even if it's imaginary
Like rage it can blind the eye
Great minds think they don't need to try
Desperation tries every door
Where wisdom opens no more

In your eyes I see the experience
The real depth of your smile
The life that lives within you
A glow that won't go out of style
A dazzle a beckoning
A hope that defies all sorrow
A brand new reason to live
For what maybe tomorrow
Your arms are so comforting
As I snuggle in your embrace
My eyes are are rolling with desire
As I look upon your face
The future is but a dream
But it's clouds won't spoil my view
Though my destiny's uncertain
My future love, is you.

I'm sitting here waiting
Banging my drum
Strumming my fingers
Waitin' for Summertime to come
The snow seems to linger
That cold wont go away
Pots in my garden
Are like ice-cream cones today
After about a year
Of continuous wet
The fields around here
Aint dried out yet
So Sunday at two
When time moves forward
Seems our weather'll be
E'er facing Northward
but...change is a comin'
Maybe nature'll take her part
Bringin' a new breath of air
and...our Spring'll start
Some blue sky days
Are due our way
Just when they're comin'
though...who can say?.

A single look
Can defeat any language session
Showing us the power
Of the human facial expression.

Getting old is easy, staying old is not. ( I try to put a bit of humor in some of my stuff alas it doesn't work though.R.)
Well....just where do I begin
There's life there's love
The mess we're in
A tale of love? a song of woe?
Another verse?
Here we go
Every day a brand new sheet
Blank to start
Then it's complete
Another breath another heartbeat
A brand new task
Just time to defeat
Maybe it's foolish to want more
But...life's alive
Even when we're sore
Rich,poor,living in hell
Your sand's running out
The reaper's ringing your bell.

The innocent always look guilty
While the guilty walk away
Because the guilty have more practise
At lying every day.

Sometimes when we're feeling sad
When we have misery and pain
Everything we touch goes bad
We think the sun wont shine again
All we see are clouds of Grey
Ever deepening amounts of gloom
Nothing we ever do or say
Can illuminate our doom
Yet.. our forlorn looks and despair
Are quite often not one of a kind
There are many suffering out there
With wracked and tortured mind
If we all could only ever help but one
By opening just a drape or two
Then maybe their misery would be gone
A ray of hope could filter through.....

I'm gonna follow my dream
However wild it may seem
From high in the air
I shall wave goodbye to despair
Tomorrow's tomorrow's tomorrow
I shall wave goodbye to sorrow
Like a kite I'm gonna fly
Straight to that blue sky
I'm going to pass go
Like a rocket not slow
With no apologies or a sigh
For...in my dreams, I can fly....
