Surviving…

In the fight for survival
does mankind hold the key?
We stand tall and proud, but what do we see?
As blow after blow brings us to our knees,
power cuts, floods, all deaf to our pleas.
By crying foul to the weather, changed
beyond doubt, we’ve planted
our Standard,
now Nature
will out.

Whatshisname!!…

 
Eyes meeting,
then a smile,
a few words 
‘It’s been a while’
stop and chat,  there in the street
on the surface two people greet.
Thought uppermost in one brain
”I know this face,  what’s his name?”
Mind is searching, taking ages,
you’d think it had t’yellow pages
Wait a minute,  found at last
saying ‘bye, the die is cast.
‘Good we met, Brian’ and a grin
but answering frown creates a spin.
It wasn’t really his name at all,
nicknamed,
for his slowness,
an absolute crawl.

Oooooops!!

Stones Throw…

As
the
stone
is thrown,
the die is cast
if it hits the mark,
better run fast.
Cause and effect
start their game
set in motion
by your
aim.
Once
started,
though ‘twas
just for fun, words
like stones,
can hurt someone.

Inside Out..

Are you
overcome by sadness
when there’s no real reason why
sometimes the tears start falling,
nothing happened to make you cry.
Somewhere deep down inside
as if a switch clicks off then on,
the emotional time passes away
sadness and tears, both are gone
maybe dark thoughts had taken hold
without you ever knowing why,
now
fading,
a distant memory,
you smile, you continue..
and yet you sigh.

‘tis an old one, but one which still pulls, for the feelings return and ebb like the tides, forever in the thrall of the Moon…

Bubbles Bright…

  Have    
           you ever            
                             felt so happy                                 
          that you feel your           
heart could burst?  
that you could poke  
Fate in the eye ,
tell him to do his worst.  
   You know the feeling fades away,     
as floating bubbles shining bright…
but first they give such joy to see   
iridescent colours forged by light…
