We're sorry you felt you could not stay,
So soon after Dad was taken away,
That you could not face your life alone,
As your spirit fell,like a tumbling stone.
Listen well for whispers along the way,
See the light that will guide you,as we pray.
Feel outstretched hands,reaching for yours,
Taste the last page..as you pass thro' the doors.
Your faltering footsteps,imprinted in Time,
Lessons learned..book closed..
exit to sublime.
Another weary traveller,looking to rest...
Rest easy now..at the end of your quest.

DEMENTIA

Where the clarity of youthful mind?
That was instilled,schooled, defined,
Non-disparity of every thought,
Crystal clear,in it's onslaught.
Why can't I play a single track
Press button A..for full playback,
It seems my laser's hit the sack
This disc is worn..no power pack.
When did this brain become a fuzz-bomb?~
Not knowing where it's coming from
Nor where it's been-or has it just come?
This wandering mind..so troublesome.
Who owns this beast..logic betwangled,
This monster bewitched,betrayed,
bedangled,
An entity benign,belittled,bemangled,
Life beheaded,bemoaned,bejangled.

ROCK IDOL

I've got the Rock'n Roll blues,
I'm singing yesterday's news,
The grease from my hair
Has stained my blue suede shoes.
Rocking rythm in my head,
Searching for an unworn thread,
That hasn't travelled much too far
Like the strings on my guitar.
No more need to grab a comb..
Just stroke the hairless dome,
Dust covered drainpipe drapes,
Scratchy repro'..worn out tapes,
All my idols have grown old,
Left with memories,now unsold,
Chasing yesterday's news..
We've got the Rock'n'Roll blues

Faded Idol

RELATIONSHIPS

Just keep your sense of humour
Be loving,caring,kind,
Don't suffocate each other
In body or in mind.
You still must be 'free spirits'
Tho'you've chosen life together,
Don't stifle individuality
By pulling too hard on the tether.
When the days get too rocky
And life seems a bit of a plod,
Remember to return the compliment,
When you're called ~a silly sod.
Laughter's always the best medicine..
Nudge,nudge,wink,wink,nod,nod.
