A “TRUE” LIMERICK!

VALENTINE’S DAY

…AND MORE LIMERICKS …..

ODE TO QUEENSLAND.

           

REMEMBER HOW IT WAS ?

YOU ARE NOW OLD, MY FRIEND, AND GREY

AND ONLY FEEBLY MOVE AROUND;

WHEN YOU NOTICE YOUNG FOLKS, HAPPILY,

AT THEIR FAV’RITE MEETING GROUND.

THEY LAUGH AND CHATTER, CHEERILY

SEEKING LOVE AND TENDERNESS,

YOUR THOUGHTS NOW DRIFT TO LONG AGO

WHEN YOU LIVED IN YOUTHFUL BLISS.

REMEMBER HOW IT WAS?

WITH WEAKENED EYES YOU SEE, MY FRIEND,

THEIR BEAUTY THAT’S ABOUND

THEIR MOVEMENTS ARE A DANCE OF YOUTH,

THEIR HAPPY LAUGHTER IS UNBOUND.

INFINITE SEEMS THEIR BURSTING ENERGY,

GUSHING FROM DIVINE, ETERNAL SPRINGS,

EXUBERANCE AND ACTION-READY

AS YOUNG BLOOD IN THEIR VEINS NOW SINGS.

REMEMBER HOW IT WAS?

THERE IS A FACE WITH HAPPY EYES, MY FRIEND,

THEIR SPARKLES INTO YOUR SOUL NOW SHINE,

THE FULLEST LIPS, THE SWEETEST PINK

ARE PARTING TO A BRILLIANT SMILE.

AN EXUBERANT NOD, BEGUILING GESTURE,

YOU SENSE A FUTURE IS NOW SHOWN,

ENGAGING BACKGROUND MUSIC PUMPING

EXACTLY AS YOU ONCE HAVE KNOWN.

REMEMBER HOW IT WAS?

HER SHAPE, IT IS AS DREAMED, MY FRIEND,

THE DRESS IS PLEASANT, YET IN GAY HUES,

WITH FASHION JEWELRY TO NOTICE,

HER PRETTY FEET IN DANCING SHOES,

WHEN THE ICE-COLD ZEPHYR OF REALITY

GRIPS YOUR WISTFUL, WARMING HEART,

YOU FEEL YOUR EPHEMERAL THOUGHTS OF MIND,

OF FUTURE, HOPE AND JOY, NOW PAST.

REMEMBER HOW IT WAS?

TRANQUILITY

 

A LOVE POEM ……

NOTHING EVER IS AS LOW ……

DIE GROSSEN WOLKEN ZIEHEN WEIT ……….

I HAVE WAITED FOR YOU ….

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY !
