While It Lasts

No life or death

Pain or pleasure

Galaxy

Or Universe

No more beautiful dawns or dusks

No world of wonders

Or anything

Once we are gone.

So it’s Now Boys!

Attention!

As Huxley said

On “Island”.

Live for Now.

For this very moment.

Stop.

Let your mind go blank.

Listen to your body

And all that surrounds you.

Breathe in the oxygen

That gives us life.

Admire the sky

And all beneath it.

Join with nature:

Sapping grass and foliage

The song of birds

As Mummy Sparrow feeds her fluffy chick

Its beak open wide

Clamouring for food.

Enjoy it all

While it lasts.

Kiss

(Picture Credit - Wallpaper hd)

 I kiss your lips and enter heaven:

Soft as sand and warm as Devon.

I’m taken out of my body

Down a long dark tunnel.

Your lips to me are lingering trunnels.

I go into a bright black hole,

Almost losing my soul:

Just wish this kiss

Would last for ever.

It’s something I

Don’t want to sever.

But there we’ve done.

Oh what a crime.

We’ll have to wait

Until next time.

Rally Call

Yell your head off

And shout, shout, shout.

Get in amongst them

And put it about.

We’re awake now, hear us cry!

Full of energy,

Watch us fly.

Out of our slumbers,

On the up.

Highly charged,

We’ll win The Cup.

We’re all full of motivation,

Hear our incantation.

Forward we go, bursting with pride.

Come with us, enjoy the ride.

We’re the greatest, we all know.

Ever ready to fight the foe.

We are winners through and through,

Even better than Doctor Who.

We will put the world to rights.

You will see incredible sights.

All together we unite,

So stay with us and

The future’s bright.
