One For The Road (Poem)
A poem about having "One drink for the road" before walking home with a loved one. Now that loved is gone.
Each time we were together,
We would raise a toast and smile.
“One for the road,” I’d say to you,
You would say, “That road’s a mile!”
As the years went quicker,
The one became a few.
As you went to pay the bill,
The one would become two.
It was almost like a ritual.
We would say “Sshhh!” as we opened the door.
“What time do you two call this?”
Was that a greeting or a roar?!
And now the road is lonely,
Because I have lost you along the way.
I sit here with “one for the road”,
But you’ve left and gone away.
So I leave one on the table.
Maybe someone will take it as they leave.
I wonder if they have one extra, too,
Or, like us, just stagger home and weave?
If I could have one more with you,
I’d cherish every one.
For that one extra I took for granted,
Now you’ve flown into the sun.

A Crimson Road of Autumn
A crimson road of autumn,
Showers from the trees,
The arriving of the cold winds,
My neck, it feels the breeze.
A kaleidoscope of auburn,
The trees, they shed their skin,
An auburn pastel palette
Colours me from within.
The coats come out the closet,
Summer shoes tucked away,
The brightness of the summer
Turns to a faded grey.
Turning up the collar
To protect me from the wind,
The breeze, it whispers to me
As if I’ve almost sinned.
Colder days are coming,
That much I know is true,
For here we are in autumn,
The sky will soon turn blue.
Some may call it cosy,
Others long for warmer days,
Yet this is the time I cherish
As the sun hides its rays.

Finally on the last leg of "DeGoogling". Only app I will keep is photos as not even Ente has the space. Google has been great the last 20 years but it's just past its sell by date.
