Apologies for not being around much - I do try to get a poem popped if I can - life is very hard and hectic at the mo - but I will catch up with you all in a few days........promise!
----------------------------------------------------------
Stood on the enticing bow
overboard but don't know how
A cooling comfort, tingled skin
aqua waves, immortal sin
Hanging on to flotsam junk
my vain pretences now all sunk
No life vest on, a heart in drought
whose lighthouse beam has just gone out
Still falling, ever falling deep,
chasing that elusive sleep
Saturation, breathing pains
saline reminders, drying veins
Crystal clear comes to my aid,
helps me fuel this this lone cascade
Floating through a bowl of stars,
night time reflections leaving scars
Midnight ocean, sink me far
however lonesome or bizarre
Just let me wake among the sands,
where Neptune ruled the bedded land.

****************************
Thanks for ruddy nothing, you've done it once again
made me pace outside the theatre like a half demented hen!
Your timekeeping is rubbish, always last out of the door -
said you'd be there for three-thirty now it's almost half past four!
I'm squelching and I'm dripping and my nerves no longer cope
mascara's running down my cheeks, my brolly's lost all hope!
My bag and it's belongings catered for our evening out -
with sweets and crisps and programmes, tins of lemonade and stout.
Well, I'm effing off without you, back home to my little pad
whose threshold you won't cross again, it's really rather sad!
So I'm taking off my hat and ring and cozy up inside -
won't be seen with you nor taken for another ride!
But I'll keep the phone plugged to the wall, the back door just ajar -
mute the sound and maybe listen for the engine of your car
The chocolate must be Belgian, washed down with fizzy drinks -
the bouquet huge and made up of - apologetic pinks!!!
