The sunset and the beach

“The cliche of the sunset? Well, it just gets me every time. I simply love it!” Gun Roswell 

The sunset and the beach

Hanging on the sandy beach late in the eve, watching as the last rays are trying to reach each and every surface. Reflections on the glass blurring, the last rays of the brightly lit sun fading as the darkness is slowly but gently taking over the light of day. But for a moment they will still stay, frozen in mid air and everywhere, painting the skies in all the colours, then ending in bright red, before the time of returning once again, to their respective beds. 

One final glance, one final chance to catch the gorgeous display before it has gone, disbursed into the fading glow leaving the night to take over. But there is no worries for the onlooker however, as a guaranteed scene of similar magnitude will return again after this night and the next day is over, a new spectacle will be there and give that same sensation the observers do yearn, a gift from Mother Nature, for all of us worshippers of her great skills coming out to play and throwing a sunset party each and every day again and again.

So thank you and see you, later!

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

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! 

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! 

Black and white with some grey 

“Those shady greys are everywhere” Gun Roswell

Black and white with some grey 

The sky so gorgeous over my head
I cannot tear my sore eyes away 

Despite this monochromatic view
I choose to stand here’s and drool 

Painted images with black and white
Make a beautiful tableau of the skies 
Lurking greys are in the shadows
But only for the effect as the wind blows 

Even without colour the picture is so vivid
With my camera going quite livid 
Palm trees and cloudy sun filled skies
This is the place where the true beauty lies 

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 

Life is a beach 


“Life on the beach” Gun Roswell

Life is a beach 

When thinking that life is a soft and sandy beach
And you’ll do your damnedest to it early on reach 

Then once you get there, to relax and take a seat
You’ll realise, that staying forever might the perfect image bleach 

So, for now, let’s just make a holiday of it
Forget for a while all that daily shit 

Enjoy the ever fading moments of the promised paradise
Before leaving only to return again, at lest that’s the advice 

And after the thoughts are settled
And you have neatly nestled Just dive into the inviting cool blue waters 
And frolic around there pretending you’re a sea otter 

Left hanging 

“A top of the world ma!?” Gun Roswell

Left hanging 

I was put here on total display Much to my own undesire and dismay
Nobody bothered to ask me if I wanted to stay 

So here I just hang until the end of the day 

I am not discarded nor broken Nor am I anyone’s special token
But I surely used to be for spoken 

Dunno no, if that applies anymore, just hoping 

So some one please come and get me
You can ride me even to the sea
My pedals and saddle are still complete
So hope on and let me drive you easily
