Everlasting Dream

There’s a café down the hill
where I do my wistful dreaming,
leaning on the window-sill
hypnotised and often scheming.
I would fain go there each day
plotting deeds of derring-do,
and it’s fairly safe to say
that the dream is always you!
§
We were lovers for a while
and we planned a life of bliss.
We walked for many a mile
when we’d cuddle and we’d kiss.
But life can be unfair
and you had to go away.
Your loss was hard to bear,
and I love you still today!

This was prompted when I read Tom Alexander’s Afternoon Café and I have shamelessly copied some of his words.  You may wish to have a look at his poem, and others, that I’m sure you’ll enjoy, on his site at The Lighthouse. Please do leave a comment on Tom’s original. 

Goodnight Good Night

This is in response to Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt #242 where the given word is GOODNIGHT and the word count is 45.

BERJAYA

Lovers Entwined by GinaAmyart


We said goodnight in many ways;

some goodnights lasted days and days;

we writhed entwined so slick with sweat;

we thought those nights were endless…..

yet…..

before too long we kissed goodbye

and still, bereft, I wonder why

such joyful nights have now passed by.

#WRITEPHOTO – DINOSAUR

Wally Mammoth

Standing by the pathway right beside the trees

I espy a mammoth who hasn’t any knees

He doesn’t want to talk at all, perhaps he’s been struck dumb

or maybe he’s just hanging round waiting for his Mum

……………

His colour’s sort of rusty red, his tusks are large and round

His floppy ears can hear it all, every little sound

He’s smiling right across his face, it goes from ear to ear

as if to say to everyone there is no need for fear

……………

He seems to breathe with little grunts, I thought there’d be more noise

Despite his size, and little eyes, he shows tremendous poise

As I approach much nearer he whispers with a hiss

Hello my lovely, come up close, and let me have a kiss!
