Ode to a Grandson

As soon as I saw you
My heart skipped a beat
I didn't know what to do
It was the hospital heat

Daddy drove you home
On that first night
Mummy didn't want to be alone
And the hospital was too bright

The first night you did cry
But settled well between each feed
I left for home and said Bye
Glam-ma's chance for a sneaky read

I soon came back though
For a couple of weeks
I wanted time to go slow
For all those extra peeks

I need to go again soon
Back to the sea
Near to a sand dune
Where one day you will visit me

I will be back near Christmas
To see you for a while
And raise a glass
To my new Grandsons first smile

Books, Bosch - what a load of tosh Sooner or later he will have all your dosh He says it's not always like this He's taking the piss You will put up and shut up Till one day it will start to spill out You will shout and shout And kick him out To the kerb Where he belongs He will serenade someone new With the same old song Groundhog day again When will he learn ?

Scent to the senses

I still remember the scent Of your embrace I still remember your face The smell of your aftershave  Lingers.......... Your Pheromones  When exercising; The exhilarating scent That made me crave You all the more My sense of smell Distracted me From the sheer hell That was happening  You are now gone But the scent of you lingers.........On.  22/09/2023 Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes

Su Tong Paraphrase

  My head slowly lifts watches with baited breath From ashes you rose so different  To the White Swan gliding effortlessly  Up towards the heavenly staircase  Crossing over Prosperity, Jobs and Titles Are worth nothing.  My Chariot  Chugs to a standstill. Cast away, where leaves die I am tired, don’t care about anything  For eons mankind  Has been handled harshly Forbidden to go to the beach. Where else would I like to be ?  Clever men, however you act  towards them Know that the Trinity allows things for a purpose  Nothing is impossible  Writing such form; On the mountains and the rivers that sneak .... Like a snake in that place you so love.
