Walk!

A steady clip set to the beat
A happy rythm moves my feet
A thrill as the air whips my skin
An old stirring starts deep within
A feeling buried deep inside
One that age cannot hide
Starting again is always fun
But this time around it's walk not run

Cho'cola

Red velvet, much better than than chocolate
A valentine's treat any day of the week
Topped with butter, there's nothing better
But one is plenty, unless you're empty

Payback

Another trip
Let's get a grip
This can't go on
It's just so wrong
Let's find a way
To have our say
So we can be
Without this fee

Homework

Homework hell is bad enough once
The second time over is even worse
Instead of a quiet and carefree evening
We face sums and grammar and constant whining
Can't wait for the day when it will be done
Without my nagging everyone
For now, at least, it is very plain
That I must endure this daily pain

Ballet class

Fly little dancer!
Twirl and spin!
Race around the room
With your beautiful grin
Point your toes
Arch your arms
A sweet pas-de-deux
Brings out your charms
Each step is joy
For you and me
Watching your glow
Is heaven to see

Loss

Desire can die in so many ways
Sometimes it is slow and insidious
Sometimes it vanishes overnight
Actions and words can erode the soul
And drive a wedge into even the smallest cracks
Can it be regained?
The future really holds the key
While the heart must let go of the past

Monsters

Can the heart be satisfied if split in two?
If pulled in different directions, what is one to do?
Such is the choice faced by our heroine
Whose blood is the drug craved by our gentleman
But choose she does despite her fears
For true love will always triumph despite the tears

Kapricious kads

Insincerity reigns supreme
When your wedding is not a dream
But just a cynical, perverse game
Aimed at fortune and shameless fame
Why bother with any vows
When you roll with dirty sows?
Just throw your weight in another ring
For the one on your finger has lost its zing

Musings

American dreams
Not what it seems
Fraying slowly
Despite everything holy
Turn back
Or fade to black

Two-For

I very unwittingly missed a day because of sheer exhaustion - not a good enough excuse, I know - sorry about that! I have therefore, included two poems for today to make up for this oversight.

Falling for fall

Sunlight filters through the leaves
Crowning the trees in blazing colour
No more delectable time of year
Than this honey-gold autumn flavour

Making merry while the sun still shines
Knowing that the north wind is getting ready
To blow our cares back into focus
While we long for the days of warmth and plenty


Happy again

Yes, that bleakness has gone
I am again ready to sing my song
I know the future is looking bright
No more sorrow or loss of sight
Focused more keenly on what is true
Knowing that we will make it through
Confident in the spirits that support us all
Knowing that we can never fall
