SOULMATE

Did the earth move for you?

Did the stars shine bright?

Did colours explode?

On that first night.

Did you hold him close

Against your heart?

Told him you loved him

And that you’ll never part

At his soft sweet touch

Did you sigh and moan?

Whisper his name

With a satisfied groan

Did you think this would last?

The two of you together

Wedding dress, ceremony

For ever and ever

But years go by

Tiny cracks start to show

Wider and wider

Till one has to go

If you’re lucky enough

To find the one

To cherish forever

You’ve only just begun.

UNFULFILLED DREAMS

He would have towered above me on the stage

A king in every way

Lowered his head and smiled at me

My breath would simply have ceased to be

I would never have forgotten that day.

But I can only dream

Of what could have been

I didn’t ever get to see

Him or feel his presence near to me

To see him walk across that floor

The man I will always adore

White suit gleaming under the light

I can imagine “Such A Night”

But imagination is all I hold

I didn’t see his suit of gold

The audience held in the palm of his hand

As he politely introduces his backing band

A sexy smile and a swivel of hips

Those soul-filled eyes and come-to-bed lips

He starts to sing and the audience stills

The beautiful voice of the King fills

The room and my mind shuts down

I listen only to the mesmerising sound

Again this is only a dream filled thought

As it slips away unable to be caught

I’ve followed Man and Music down through the years

Joy, laughter, love and finally tears

You left us too soon

So many hearts broken

Levels of praise when your Name is spoken

A Legend in your lifetime

A Hero in mine

Your music will continue

Till the end of time.

PORN PAINTER

I laid my items out one by one

Now was the time for a bit of fun

There was glue and rope and a roll of duct tape

Silken scarves of every shape

Chains, padlocks and a large wall hook

My husband then took a sneaky look

I produced some handcuffs covered in fur

I could sense him now beginning to stir

Feather duster, a cane and a devilish whip

Now I could see his quivering lip

Last but not least, brushes and paint

Oh dear! i thought he was going to faint

I sashayed across and sat on his knee

“My darling, what would you do for me?

Would you tie me up and make me squirm?”

He slithered from the chair like a petrified worm.

Headed for the door and out to the street

Just one task he had to complete

Not fifty shades but just one hue

I just wanted my kitchen painted blue

But he had to be coaxed to get off his chair

So I gave him a pornographic scare!
