Poems 4

SIX O'CLOCK

Six times the hammer strikes church bell,
And those who live in fear of hell,
Rush to church to pray and tell,
And trust the Lord to fare them well.

It’s six o’clock, and darkness falls,
Red eyed guards walk shopping malls,
Young vandals roam past shops and stalls,
They strike & run, so duty calls.

Two lovers meet at six, as planned,
With beaming smile, he takes her hand,
I feel their love from where I stand,
Worth more than gem or krugerand.

It’s time to put the stand away,
To finish up this fruitful day,
Time to leave my working life,
And go home to my lovely wife,
All day long I’ve missed her smile,
But I will kiss her in short while,
She will hug me as we meet,
And help me to forget the street.

SKY

Nine hours away from Sydney,
In a city called Shanghai,
There lives a rather pretty girl,
Her teacher calls her Sky.

One point six two metres,
Compared to me, she’s smart,
This precious girl from China,
Just stole away my heart.

Soon I’ll fly to see her,
And see that she is real,
To gaze into those big brown eyes,
And tell her how I feel.

Most times I’ll make Sky happy,
Sometimes I’ll make her cry,
Can I forget my student,
Yes!!! The moment that I die.

FUTURE FAMILY

My future family will be,
The centre of the world for me,
A wife to love, & be loved in return.
A young child playing on the floor,
Our feelings growing more & more,
This is the paradise for which I yearn.

A strong warm home, I will provide,
To keep my family safe inside,
To cherish them, & love with all my heart.
Together with my Chinese wife,
We’ll build a good & honest life,
Which nobody, will ever tear apart.

SOMEONE SPECIAL

When you’re feeling lonely, sad or blue,
Call me, and I’ll come to comfort you.
Let me be your friend.

When the ideal word is hard to find,
I want to help, and educate your mind.
Let me be your teacher.

Alan wants to be with you, and try,
To write some very special words for Sky.
Let me be your poet.

Take my hand and tell me how you feel,
Kiss me, tell me what we have is real.
Let me be your partner.

When you’re ready, lie beside your man,
Tell him that you love him, if you can,
Let me be your lover.

Your Alan

YOUR SPECIAL LOVE

I don’t know why, one such as you,
Should choose to give your heart to me,
But I will treasure what we share,
From now until eternity.

Your love is all around me now,
Affecting everything I do,
Helping me through every day,
A special love so strong and true.
I feel your love protecting me,
Just thinking of you makes me smile,
Thinking of the joy you’ve brought me,
Keeps me happy all the while.

And when we are together,
It doesn’t matter what we do,
So peaceful and so happy,
Hopelessly in love with you.

MOONSHINE

On this cold night, full moon looks hazy,
This time of month, some men go crazy,
Big round pearl shines through the cloud,
Features neither clear nor proud,
But as she rises o’er the sea,
My eyes behold ‘Tranquility’.
As wispy clouds are left below,
How beautiful her lunar glow.

Do your rays of soft white light,
Shine on my true love tonight?
Even though we’re far apart,
Can silver beams caress her heart?
Will you convey as best you can,
This sweet emotion from her man?
Separation is such pain,
Never want to part again.
