It was a rather strange sensation

When they told me I’m too old

To pose for the new swimsuit edition

Just forget about the centerfold

I tried to make them understand

That chunky is the new design

They just laughed, shooed me away

So I decided to fix them, fine

I sneaked my way into the place

Where the photos come together

Replaced them with my friendly face

Even dressed myself in leather

Imagine how surprised they were

When the issues hit the stands

Instead of a perfect picture

What they got, they hadn’t planned

Still, the magazines sold like hot cakes

They couldn’t keep them on the shelf

But I’ll tell you a little secret

I bought them all myself

She stands among the fallen leaves

Her gypsy soul envelops them

Awaiting the moment, where

She can become one with them

Deep in thought, her dreams, surpassed

She clings to them, for comfort

Knowing soon, as the seasons change

The trees will surely welcome them

She donned her pretty tutu

Forgot about her shoes

Grabbed a yellow sunflower

Held on tight, as not to lose

Golden tresses fell

In waves, she didn’t lack

Traveled down the pavement

Never once did she look back

She was only a child, a wanderer

Though she drifted, less and less

Followed the roads before her

No longer a restless princess

Far Away ~ #poetry #TheDailyPost

Let me sail, into the bliss

Where the setting sun and horizon kiss

Journey far, into the night

Let the stars be my guiding light

Watch, as the moon shows his face

I can’t think of being in a better place

I’ll throw my troubles, over the side

I never want to go back inside

Here, is where I long to stay

Upon the ocean, drifting, far away

Knackered and Numb- #poetry #JanuaryWriting

I’m exhausted, from all night excursions

The wine’s made me numb, from submersion

Quick, pour me another, I’m fading

This feeling is downright degrading

Perhaps, I should lay off the liquor

Since it goes to my head, much quicker

I usually do things quite dumb

Wonder what it is I’ve become

Can’t remember, the next day

What I did, anyway

I’ll probably do it again

To which there is no end

This wine is divine, and now it’s all mine

In fact, it’s my new favorite friend
