the bedspread

opportunity came

a-knocking

i rush to open 

the door

trip over my

wildest dreams

fall headlong

to the floor

in a mist, eerie

yet to clear

a voice, softly 

in my head

opportunity, it's

fool's gold!

better prone lying

than wakeful dead 

 

rip, a lifetime 

in bed spent

sleeping beauty too

serenely bedspread

opportunity came

a-knocking

handsome prince

or kiss of death?

 

 

  

 

The Wimbledon Dream

federer is in action

centre court spellbound

he serves and he volleys 

oooh-aaah goes the crowd

the fun has just begun

the feast is yet to come

strawberries and cream

the wimbledon fan's dream

 

federer is in motion

rolex stops to watch

a leap here, a swoosh there

unique glow awash

delight tho' the tennis is

the feast is yet to come 

strawberries and cream

the wimbledon fan's dream

federer is a point away

cup within his reach

royals swoon in their box

others shriek and screech

wimbledone, end of dream  

answer to my prayer

the strawberry's blonde

and from the creamy layer

Random Axes Memory

a box of discarded identities

a tangle of string and paper
