another found poem by me via Spike Milligans Box 18
I’ve stopped looking for that diamond
that brightens up my day
the beauty of your eyes
still capture me in the evening light
as we pass each other by
and memories of walking through the daisy patch
still return – fresh in the mind
Salford 11th December 2018
I don’t know what it is with you.
You’re there at the same time, same day
Same Reaction to my appearance on the opposite platform
Gawping like a primary school kid
I’m not an alien – and i’m past caring
what old style clothing you think i’m wearing
attitude of a kid of an age
who isn’t even working for minimum wage
To try and catch my attention,
You flounce and pout
And if stood with your pals
You scream and shout
Maybe you think i’m “The One” for you
Oh if only – that were true
Giggling with your pals – shows you ain’t older
even if your attitude seems any bolder
Perhaps, you think the camera footage
will catch the eye
of an X-Factor Judge at Mediacity
but all your peacocking gets from me – is pity.
Who am I, life’s Charlie Brown ?
For she catches my eye, and I’ve fallen down
Tongue tied with her beauty, so close at hand
Even though the words in the head I’d planned
a wonderful sight, with a beautiful mind
sometimes she’s harsh, but on the whole she is kind
Catching me out with those dark brown eyes
Occasional glances catch me by surprise
Heart rising by a beat when she’s so near
No more than friends, to me that is clear
Talking shop on the backyard, sharing an occasional smile
With the girl with the red hair, I want to stay awhile
A moment occured
when you expressed your affection for that girl at the bus stop with a
kiss…only for the romance to die
when you shuffled about
against the bus stop pole – in full view of the
remaining passengers, it might seemed
dramatic – and some old ladies smiled (all you could do was look downwards)
Salford 10th May 2018
You were always the one in school
that caused a scene
causing young heads to turn
at your juvenile antics
Wearing the Uniform
the way you wanted
raising an eye
of the deputy head
They called you “Cool”
and your pals all circled
as school rules fell
and school skirts rose
The defiant red haired streak
got you noticed
by the more butch kids
in the school playground
But at the end of the day
the lad that you wanted
never looked back
leaving you – disappointed
Daintily passing over the polished wood floor
are two pairs of feet, skipping happily across it
never seen together before – they haven’t a
care or a worry – just so long as the girl is happy
in her boyfriends arms, Dancing the
night away together – following each others
groove under the lights
fragrance
Salford 25th July 2017
For centuries, the makers of perfume have made
Romantic smells from the humble garden
Animated – and captured with oils wine and water
Girls grab their latest favourite – in an attempt to
Reach out – without a step – to the lad of their dreams
Attraction can be immediate – turning heads
Never think that it’s the scent alone that does it –
Cupid’s arrow is fickle at times – but
Every girl knows – to get his attention – it’s a start!

Salford (via Heraklion) , 10th May 2017
Perhaps it was her eyes that first attracted me
Everyone stopped – freeze frame as we met
Reaction to that wonderful smile – unabashed, but
From that day on, she seemed to be everywhere
Unusually, i couldnt see her around, was my
Memory playing tricks on me ?
Even the blossom’s sent a message of her
#coloryourworld #cyw #hotmagenta #pink #purple
look out roadsters
something hot is flinging itself down the road
pink Cadillac has had a spicy respray
with purple overtones added to its mix
looking great in the summer sun
every girls dream car
for sunset strip occasions
Sweet floral fragrance –
Captured in a bottle ,
and Released in the ballroom
At the high school dance.
In a matter of seconds
A million ingredients
travel with a message from girl to boy
“Have I got your attention yet ?”
