heavy eyelids
stretching belly
empty pot and
cleanly licked plate
energy levels just enough
to watch the telly
soon to become
all that we ate
the sleepy mood
brings one in sync
with a rainy day
humidity through the roof
to celebrate now
let’s have a drink
of hot chocolate
Valentine’s proof
Poem ‘Sleepy Celebrations’ read by the author.
communal kitchen double sink
group prayers peace maker
late nights get one to think
since they got to share an acre
who wants to be alone
gets referral from the gp
padded room of their own
surroundings a little creepy
make no judgement on the go
there is rarely one to blame
for a sold out magic show
brought the trickster fame
Poem ‘Community’ read by the author.
water views with a breeze
spacious layout of the rooms
hear the neighbour sneeze
carpark below spewing fumes
vicinity of the sea and shops
nearby colossal disease centre
round the corner lurking cops
for the late paying renter
Poem ‘Water Views’ read by the author.
so you say you don’t care
the answer I hear a lot
what about your sanity
when I lose the plot
you say you don’t care
then ask me what’s the matter
when I throw a tantrum
plates and glass then shatter
when I ask you questions
you said it many times
our persistent beliefs
are like stingy crimes
then open your mind
into the world of caring
let’s live happily ever after
minds and hearts sharing
now wait no longer for the day
that brings us that much pleasure
give a damn or give a f-ck
just pick one at your leisure
