Lotions and potions
To make you look young
In bottles and jars
From places far flung
They go on like treacle
And set firm and hard
Thus giving the face texture
Like a packet of lard
Those wrinkles that bug you
Are your body outside
Reflecting the things
That go on inside
Toxins and worries
That chase you each day
No lotion or potion
Can ever take away
But listen my friends
Please do not despair
I’ve wrinkles a plenty
And I really don’t care
For I’ve found the answer
That brings me much cheer
A mirror a mirror
I never go near
Our Inner Mind
Let him speak for who can say
Just what gems will come your way
For he will talk straight from his heart
Without the need to stop and start
For innocents it needs no thanks
As from his lips it will dance
He will say just what he sees
And not embellish someone else’s needs
For we forget about that time
When you just said what was on our mind
For now we live most times with fear
On how to phrase our thoughts most clear
In case they cause offence
PAINTED CLOUDS
IF I COULD PAINT
I’D PAINT THE CLOUDS
THAT SHOUT AT ME
SO CLEAR AND LOUD
THAT TALK OF HILLS
SOME GREEN, SOME BARE
AND MAKE ME WISH
THAT I WAS THERE
THAT TALK OF SEAS
SO BLUE AND BRIGHT
AND ALL THE BIRDS
IN SEASONED FLIGHT
THAT TALK OF STARS
THAT LIGHT THE SKY
AS IN THE NIGHT
THEY ALL PASS BY
THAT TALK OF SANDS
THAT SWIRL AND TURN
TO BLEACH THE LAND
LIKE BARREN PEARLS
THAT TALK OF THUNDER
WITH CRASHING MIGHT
WHILE KISSING THE EARTH
WITH LIGHTENING BRIGHT
THAT TALK OF RAIN
TO QUENCH THE LAND
AND SPREAD IT AROUND
LIKE GODS SWEET HAND
THAT TALK OF NATURE
WITH THRILLS AND CARE
AND MAKE ME WISH
THAT I COULD SHARE
THESE CLOUDS THAT
I CAN’T PAINT
