Growing Cold Waiting To Cry

Rain

Rain, rain, rain again,
Falling, spitting down.

Grey, grey, dull today,
Wrapping, muted town.

Splash, splosh, splash about,
Children, ducks and dogs.

Jump, hop, jump around,
Children, toads and frogs.

Soggy, soggy, wet travails,
Sweating, steaming bods.

Gloomy, gloomy, gloomy folks,
Miserable, moaning sods.

Time

Tick tock, time goes by,
Lonely, grounded, need to fly.
Day on day, the same again,
Tired, dull, a mental pen.

Rigid, locked, lost to fate,
Nothing new, but different date.
Wasting, waiting, wanting more,
Dreaming rich, but being poor.

Tick tock, time goes by,
Standing, seeing, way up high.
Day by day, nothing strange,
Feeling, willing, a tiny change.

Too Late

On your marks, get set, wait
I will start soon, you'll see.
Just better check the date
And look at where I should be.

Ready, steady, steady, stop
Another little thing's come up.
Really caught me on the hop
Nothing left in my coffee cup.

Now I'm fixed up, sorted, right
Let's get working, great.
So much to do, no end in sight
Hope it's not too late.

PC

A word, a table,
A picture, a fable.

They beep, they flash,
They whizz, they crash.

A bit, a byte,
A book, a flight.

No work, no mail,
No phone, no sale.

The story, the news,
The insights, the views.

All talk, all show,
All promise, all go.

Disappointed

Yesterday I couldn't wait
And now it is here.

Everything was just in place
But now I fear.

Perhaps it will not go as well
As I had planned.

What if the day is just a day
And nothing grand.

All will smile and be polite
Critics will be hushed.

My hopes too high to be quite met
Why should I feel this crushed?

Together

We're all in this together
As there's only one playground.

That's what I would like to think
But not what I have found.

Schemes, plots, back-stabbing
Manoeuvering and games.

Pointless work and managers
Arguing over names.

Beating all the Joneses
Nepotistic sins.

It's obvious who loses
But who really wins?

Friend

What do you think of me,
Are you my best friend?
Do you tolerate my quirks
For some other end?

Why must I rely on you
To validate my dreams?
Can I not stand on my own
As that is how it seems?

I will gladly help you
And your problems share!
Tell me all about yourself,
I'm listening, I'll be there!

Cold Days

Cold days, warm heart,
Lost past, new start.

Where first, go soon,
Want stars, need moon.

Run astray, taken in,
Live defeat, dream win.

Learn fast, never die,
Stand tall, don't cry.

Pull up, big climb,
Tired eyes, long time.

Cold days, warm heart,
Good past, great start.
