Endearment – Promote Yourself

Divine is your smile
and sweet is your gaze
I pray we’re together
for all of our days

For all of my time
here on this earth
only your charms
gives my life worth

All the world’s rubies,
emeralds and such
to me are worthless
compared to your touch

Even the stars,
set like diamonds above
will not endure
as long as our loveby

Tom – YOUR FAVOURITE POEM

Tom was a young lad
From where I grew up
We went to the same school
Then both joined up
 
We became Commandos together
And never looked back
We met again in the desert
Had a laugh and a chat
 
I heard it over the radio
Surely it wasn’t him
I chose to deny
Until we got back in
 
After an hour back on base
Drapes asked for a private word
With a tear in his eye
It all seemed so absurd
 
I’ll remember Tom forever
And raise a glass in his name
A soldier to the death
We cry and cry again

YOUR FAVOURITE POEM SENT IN BY YOU WHAT’S YOUR’S?

THE PATH UNTRAVELLED – Promote Yourself

She found herself quite lost

All memories a misty haze

Was last night a reality?

Or had she just slept for days?

 

Forwards confused, backwards perplexed

The most complex addition

Clutter and vacuum intertwined

A misfit of every definition

 

Nomad Gypsy Hippy Punk

One of all and yet one of none

Wandering day long night longer

Her thoughts became shattered undone

 

Not clear why she continued to creep

Perhaps feeling an incongruous force

But the story did continue on

Let me reveal it to you in due course

 

She stumbled across a gloomy track

A path somewhat untamed

It pulled her closer like a magnet

As if it already knew her name

 

And so her journey did embark

Down that path untraveled

She felt the cold prickle her skin

And mysterious beginnings unravelled
