Halloween, bonfire night and cold, dark nights with mugs of lovely tea!!!

Fall

Dead leaves fall when autumn starts

Once so green, strong and bright

A million sinking broken hearts

Are set to burn on bonfire night.

And with each leaf, a sighing breath

The tree’s youth hits the floor

Trampled by kids dressed as death

Who come to bang upon your door

Trick or treat they shout as one

And then expect a prize

The mighty oak tree just looks on

As leafy tears leave his eyes.

Wanderlust

Like a blind man, slowed by care
we tentatively shuffle, too aware
Doom and gloom! It might go wrong
We tell ourselves, and creep along.
Like a Tortoise , within our shell
peeping out, if all goes well

If we're the tortoise, she's the hare
covering ground without a care
To watch her soar; to watch her run
it's clear to all who really won
She'll see it all! All the sights
From ancient ruins to city lights.

She's never beat and never lost
never cold in morning frost
she wraps that smile round her face
To keep her warm in every place.

Always waiting.

Well, i guess you should never bury your head in the security of other people, no matter how much you're there for them they may not be there for you when you need them. I kind of knew that anyway though...moving on ...a quick post in between looooong shifts at work!! 12-1 then 12-1 then 12- who knows when...sigh. Always waiting for something, until the end of days when we can wait no more.

As a child on Christmas eve
i eagerly await a lie
one that you'd have me believe
As life goes flying by

You claimed we'd lay awake tonight
to catch him creeping around
But as i turn your mind takes flight
and you sleep without a sound

Left alone to stand and fight
I know not who to blame
That cause i laid until the light
I saw Santa never came

& though i envy you your sleep
at least i learnt to fight
and if he comes again to creep
i'll give him quite a fright!
