The Days of Milk and Marmalade

David Wakeling

My teddy bear days are soft and old,
They have the  fragrance of joy and mould.
My kitten days are bright and bold,
Like silver wishes and dreams of gold.

The girlfriend moments are full of hate,
Tethered Love that could never wait.
Unbridled milkshakes at the closed gate,
Marmalade on toast and breakfast at eight.

The lonely days are long and filled with grit,
My memories are snakes that will not quit.
The friends are clouds in a swirling fit.
It was a good life I’m sure, I just forgot to live it.

    The last line "It was a good life I’m sure, I just forgot to live it."- we are so busy these days we forget to stay still and enjoy life! Staying present is important! Thank you for sharing!
