Long Term Relationship

It's wonderful to share a long term relationship
to know that they are there for you 
to call upon
if needed
there to be relied upon
whether you're at work
or at home - where ever!
when needed
when life gets a little too much
when you just need a little lift
because we all have those times
don't we
first thing in the morning
just after lunch
that mid-afternoon slump...

and that thought of a long night ahead...


...to know that coffee is always there!

Didn't open it. 
I didn't know what was in 
it. Female logic!

With The Gun

Sometimes a solid and stable solution is very hard to find
leaving two possible options to keep both parties aligned 
leave the politics to the politicians and
the soldiers to kill
if the poilicians can't fix the problems then I might know who will
give a committed soldier enough training and the weapons to fight
and the method might not be pretty but the outcome just might
yet; can a manufactured peace be forced on those who simply don't care
whether you live or die but would like that your people weren't there 
this situation is far from over and has many years to to run
both sides better start talking, 
or they will finish it with a gun!

Left on the driveway,
the large shiny campervan
of good intentions

Leather Clad

Leather skinned pensioners 
tanned from holiday sun
cruises
hotel loungers
dusty Caribbean beaches
in their leather clad soft-top sports car
unable to tell where they end - and the car begins!



(Haiku)

Leave the politics
to the politicians and
the soldiers to kill
