Pink on a Window


“Painted in a bright colour, nothing odd about it” Gun Roswell

Pink on a Window

Yesterdays reflected
From old discarded windows
An old shack
Once painted black
Now boasting, the colour pink
It’s an eye sore some say
But others, smile and
In front of it for a moment stay
It’s not useful anymore
Who knows what secrets
Within it are stored
But for now, the windows
And the doors
Remain locked of course
And maybe someday
You may find the key
Which unlocks them all

Moped

“Bicycles and mopeds forever” Gun Roswell

Moped!

I am a biped

Driving my moped

On the street side

Nobody can stop me

Watch me ride

I am driving very far

Watching out for cars

Don’t want any scars

My moped and I

This trip is just fine

Me and my moped

We are together roped

Will not let

Anyone else

Ride on my tiny bike

Some say scooter

I say looser

This is a motor vehicle

Two wheels

Hoping, no on will steel

Having fun

Until day is done

Bike to shed

I go to bed

Until the next day has set

Hurry 

“Sometimes, one needs to run instead of walking” Gun Roswell

Hurry 

Hurry, hurry, time is running out!

Running, running, like crazy about

Trying, trying, hard not to shout

But, loosing my mind? 

There is really no doubt

Hurry, hurry, hurry

Worry, worry, worry

Those are the trends of today

And they really, can drive you

Into so much dismay

What if I just say

I don’t want anymore to play

Hope it’s not too much trouble

But I just wish to stay in my own little bubble

to travel

“to travel broadens the mind, to some extent“ Gun Roswell

to travel

ah, to travel and see the world

land, where ever you’re hurled

into a soft comfy bed get curled

find out all the gems and pearls

it’s almost, 

like living in a dreamworld

Night lights

“So much going on in the night sky” Gun Roswell

Night lights 

A moon presented itself above the dim light street
It was only a crescent shape but still bright enough to see
All the potholes and bumps of the road ahead
When making a way towards the current homestead 

When nearing the crossroads
I spotted an ugly looking toad
Large and loud it was making all kinds of sounds
But as it got closer I realised it got even grosser 

Turned out, it was a vehicle of some type
A street bug of sorts, supposedly for the sports
It’s headlights so bright I almost got a fright
But managed to duck into cover, as I watched it away hover 

Then all hell broke lose as several streams of light the night skies fumed
A ufo or some kind of search light it was
Making those surround me to really fuss 

An invasion of a third kind?
That’s all right, suites me just fine! 

Over cast 

“Sun is shining no more” Gun Roswell 

Over cast 

It was so totally bright
The shiny object full of light
Now the clouds have taken over
Forming a four leaf clover
On top of the sun of shining
Completely it binding
Only a few rays remain
Struggling out of the frame
Some might say it’s exaggerating
That it’s only a slight over cast
But I reply they’re underestimating
As a bad storm front is about to blast
The skies open way too fast
And the, we’re all get drenched 
And no more sunshine will get
Through those clouds wedged
Over the bright ball of light
So best give up this fight 
And get the heck indeed

Over cast, my ass! 

Lemons of life 

“When life gives you lemons, peel one up and eat it like a sourpuss” Gun Roswell 

Lemons of life 

Sour said the fox of the grapes
As it did not like the funky taste 

It’s far too hot outside right now
But then again, yesterday it snowed 

My face is too ugly for television they said
So why not try getting a job in radio instead 

I’m constantly worried of every little thing
But taking a shower makes me wanna sing 

When life gives you lemonades
Take them back to the store to exchange 

Coffee always in double 

“Never enough coffee” Gun Roswell

Coffee always in double 

With a big size cup as this It’s really hard to miss
The caffeine addict within me 

Coffee, on the double
Coffee, please make it double
Coffee, cup size, better have it double 

As the healing liquid I get in front of me
Life always looks so much better I believe
And the i drink my coffee until late eve 

Coffee, never enough
Coffee, never too much
Coffee, thank goodness for such 

Coffee, a most precious gift
Coffee, how you always up me lift
Coffee, nuff said, peace! 

Walk on the rocky pier 

“Beach, finally here!” Gun Roswell 

Walk on the rocky pier 

Take a short walk along the long pier
Dip your toes into the water when you get there 
Feel the summer breeze on your burning skin
Let the holiday feeling finally sink in 

Stay a while at the very end of the pier
Let the sunny rays wash away any fears 
Of letting go of the mundane And embrace the upon coming fun day 

Take a slow walk back to the beach 
Then turn to look at the glimmering sea
Just remember you can always return 
Until it’s time for the leisure time to adjourn 

Recycle

“Always recycle” Gun Roswell

Recycle

Abandoned, discarded, of no more use
Maybe, we all have just a too short fuse 

When something is broken and no more works
Then we just run out and buy a new one like jerks 

Why not mend it, fix it, or make some repairs
Or just save it and use the parts as spares 

If a neighbour or friend might need dome, then just share
After all, it’s better than throwing things away
