Anniversary song
My love for you is so strong –
it’s fathoms deep and furlongs long –
it spans the continents and disregards all borders.
My love for you is thick as soup,
it never dries, though it may droop,
it stays past closing and outlasts last orders.
My love is this and also that,
it wakes with me and comes to bed,
it feeds on laughter, tears, cheese and beers.
It lasted me through thick and thin,
it’s in my heart and in my spleen,
and here’s “Cheers!” to a lot more years!
The sun is low
the moon is high
the sky’s aglow
and I get by
on coffee
and hope
and light.
The heady air
is in my lungs.
My head is bare.
I speak in tongues
of futures
and hope
that’s bright.
The night is waiting
but day is long –
time for creating
another song
with nonsense
and hope
and rhyme.
While sun is shining
there’s time for fun;
there’s no divining
when day is done –
depleted
of hope
and time.
Under the shield of ashes –
forgotten passions.
Ashes add to the peat,
feeding the wheat.
Wheat multiplies and thus
it’s feeding us.
People with decent rations
have time for passions.
Passions that burn in flashes
leave only ashes.
Under the shield of ashes –
forgotten passions…
Today the rain is blue,
it smells of dying leaves,
it splashes in itself,
it plops in drops and drips;
today the rain is soft;
today the rain is warm;
the music of the rain
gives thought staccato form;
it washes off the dust,
it makes the pavement shine;
the street is flowing past;
the song of rain is mine!
