MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘The Fat Dream’

too fat for a morning jog
too fat for a gym
too fat for a nature’s walk
too fat for a swim

nothing helps to motivate
green shake taste of grass
gym right across the road
tight leggings sign of class

the body growing bigger suit
the mystery of getting lean
the food intake is increasing
no movement to be seen

there are reasons to cry
and yet more to laugh
what brings our satisfaction
being content with half

to eat less to drink more
to think less to love more
to dream less to live more
to sit less to move more

saying that watching the screen
tell me what do I mean
deep down the endless fight
delish food or looking light

recording of the above poetry read by the author

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Outside Feelings’

Hope is a good word to ponder
Having faith we see its wonder
Time gives lines to our brow
Our feelings on the outside grow


Returning to our inner child
When days and nights are rather wild
Digging deeper into the past
Any age has been a blast


Roller coaster ride or a rocking of a chair
Living through puberty didn’t seem too fair
Vigorous movement of our limbs
During those hours spent in the gyms


Weight seems to creep up past those years
Hidden by looser pants covering our fears
Emotional baggage locked inside our cells
Messing with free radicals into living hells


Slow and steady gets the worms
Resentment at life sets new norms
True meaning of life lost in translation
Enjoy the journey before the destination

MIDNIGHT POETRY “Weight Gain”

Sticky buns and baggy pants
In a need of an insurance
Polished plate is always best
Munch munch munch
Just eat the rest

Bit of this and lot of that
Ice cream to top up the fat
Who checks size of calories
Body mass will never freeze

In the heat of summer season
Covered in fabric for a good reason
Beach body and bikini object of the past
Fatty cells cover traumas pretty fast

Wardrobe shrinks each day an inch
To keep a hot body no longer a cinch
Growing bigger aging young
Hope in miracles to work

No more eating junk!
