Ah well!

Laugh a while
Tears induce sighs
A million thoughts
Underlie
In the knowledge of memories hallowed
Of the many routes
Through life you have travelled

Easing on since you were born
School bells ring
Then they are gone
A working life
Experience gained
Many jobs
Some a pain

Socially
You fluttered
Each bar visited
The sweetest flower
Occasionally over indulgent
Sick on nectar
Rolled and stumbled

Fatherhood
A tiny baby
Grown up now
A fine young lady
Imparting wisdom
To painted on ears
You are just like your parents
A long held fear

Inside
You grip to hold on to youth
The mirror informs
A painful truth
Crows feet mar middle aged features
Visiting schools
Older than teacher

Hair escapes
From way up high
The grey ones remain old age calls
Your middle has its own postcode
Fashion sense
Out of this world

When you were young
You did imagine
A perfect life
Riches
Mansions
Reality bites
Eating those passions
Living in a semi
Full of inaction

Don't worry
Its OK
You tried your best
No way a fail
Just like any body else
Aspirations can still come true

Its never to late
I hear them say
It is if you work each day
For basic pay
Too feed the children
Pay the bills
It would take a miracle
To climb up
In this expensive
Success driven world

Aspirations
Can be but dreams
Wanting or needing so hard
You shout and scream

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha...

Tradition suggested that we may need a break. Crowns and religions, Exposed as just fake Politicians who tell us that all will be well While smiling so sweetly Party's for sale Crowns made of paper Angels and John Shoes, tattered and skinny Asking Them all If they'll spare you a penny, your house has just gone What about Sheila, What about Ron Can they both have some money They're cars in a pond, Insurance, taxation Scriptures and diction Vocabularies,  Manners  Man made addictions All caught in the maelstrom  Of evolution not fiction. Simples!  AGL

SOLITUDE and THE FARMED

-
Well that's it out there in the great big world. At first, once the book had been released I was filled with an incredibly potent feeling of fear and dread. What would the reader think? Good stories ? Bad Stories? a multitude of emotions visited me every minute of every single day. Now I find, that although still touched by a tiny amount of nervousness, the over all feeling I have is one of confidence, and a sort of devil may care attitude, I do care what the reader thinks about my work, but, it doesn't really matter as much now, its too late, the bird has flown, the words are free. I believe in my heart that both of the stories are worthy of being read by whoever wishes to spend some time reading. Sure opinions may differ, but my own opinion, though possibly irrelevant, is my own. Available to by online on Amazon.com and on amazon.co.uk, also at Wh Smith and Barnes and Noble as well as from the Author website, AG Leyden /SOLITUDE and THE FARMED. Please enjoy reading as much a...
