Thank You Present

I bought you some flowers today,
the idea just popped into my head
I had just passed by my old house
and was glad I lived here instead.

I was lonely in that old place
and the vomit rose in my chest
as I relived the despair for an instant
but soon the pain came to rest.

For now I live in happy chaos
within a surprising peace
for surrounded by love and affection
I bask in blessed relief.

So there you have the reasons
why the idea came into play
to stop at the very first florist
and bring you flowers today.

Spliced

Ups and downs
Peaks and troughs
Tesco bills
Kids with coughs.

Married life

On we go
Through all ills
Astounded by our
Household bills.

Married life

Shattered nights
More sleep we beg
Splattered shirt with
Scrambled egg.

Married life

Cars that break
Lawns that grow
Meals with relatives
Who just won't go.

Married life that
We all bear
Single folk just
Stand and stare!

Would we change it
Oh contraire
We'd miss the chaos
If it wasn't there!
