Brassy
Brassy
Picture thanks to big and brassy
The litany of her faults and failures
Were written in the papers in bold letters
Some were calling her brassy
He liked that she was a little sassy
Others claimed she was forward
He pronounced her an exciting reporter
Others thought her actions shameless
He found her fun amusing audacious
Two sides to every coin he thought
Much depended on what you sought
Was it a case of blatant jealousy
Without merit, unending enmity
Time would tell the story quite boldly
For with her there was nothing mousey
Solid
I thought by now we’de be solid
As we were in highschool and college
Instead we’re moving apart
Maybe we need a fresh start
You need to hear I love you
Holding us together it’s the glue
Say yes, say yes, cause your the one
I want for ever your the one
Holding us together it’s the glue
You need to hear I love you
Maybe we need a fresh start
Instead of moving further apart
Like we were in highschool and college
So we can once again be solid
Loving you.
My love for you is endless
Always and forever, boundless
Your so special in many countless ways
My heart fills to overflowing as my gaze
Lovingly caresses your beautiful young face
I think of all that life offers beyond this phase
Your precious, delightful, funny and smart
Forever and always you’ll be in my heart.
Portion
Portion
There was a birthday cake
It sat so pretty on a plate
And then it was cut
And it was too late
To worry about
The size of the slice
Oh my what a surprise
Buff
Buff
Buff, a word often used
Leaving me somewhat bemused
Its definition means burnished
Cleaning that which is tarnished
Perhaps a piece of furniture
Polished shining left cleaner
Whether antique or new
Burnished, its life renewed
Gleaming lustrous polished and sleek
Certainly, some have fabulous technique
Others exclaim he is “buffed”
What polished and retouched
English language has surely changed
Words with new meaning often exchanged
Hope
I’m up, I’m down I’m all over the place
For the moment I am the only brace
When no one is looking I fall apart
From the depths of my soul I take heart
Trusting that all will end as it should
Ah, there, I knew it would
Detonate
Detonate
Explosive personality
Filled with brutality
Anger hate destruction
Striking without direction
Man woman or child
Everyone reviled
What will become of you
If this anger you don’t subdue
Fight twist yell and scream
Love sent on a moonbeam
Can heal the most grievous of pain
And wash sorrow away so you can start again
Choice
Often it is obscured, the choice
Considerate thought before invoking voice
Shrouded in all kinds of smoke
The truth again and again cloaked
Can’t see the forest for the trees
Sitting pondering on bent knees
Until a whisper of pure light
Illuminates the path making it bright
Now moving forward shadows left behind
With a helping hand find peace of mind
Radiate
Radiate
While some radiate peace joy and love
Others radiate the opposite of the above
Menacing anger cruelty and abuse
Vulgar hateful language often they use
Very little light into their soul allow
Instead in darkness they constantly wallow
Feeding their heart and their soul
Creating a much deeper darker hole
From which their ultimate escape
Requires huge effort their lives to reshape
Infuse
Infuse
If it were within my power
The entire earth I would scour
Collecting every possible colour
Offering you a rainbow in technicolour
Brilliant reds oranges blues and greens
Luminous colours never before seen
Infuse you with my love to go on living
Sun moon and stars glow shimmering
Always sharing the mundane and sublime
Infusing you with joy lasting a lifetime
Life is for living
Sometimes giving
Always sharing
With much caring
Often profound
If you surround
Yourself with endless possibilities
Sharing god given talent and ability
Look outside yourself
Sometimes inconveniencing oneself
Putting the other one first
Fears and concerns now dispersed
