Marie Causey Poems

People say its lovely, picture postcard looks
In reality picture postcards are better off in books
I have never liked the white stuff, or slippery ice
Something about its dangers tell me its not nice
...

She woke up dead, yes dead in her heart
She thought they would never ever part
The Wicked man of stone ruined her life
Why did he ask her to be his wife
...

I have big dark floaters in my eyes interfering with my vision
the optician said its old age, from which there's no remission
I remember when I was twenty I could see for miles ahead
Now these eyes are not like mine, imposter's in my head
...

Oh Bangladesh I loved you and the Bay Of Bengal
my dream was to visit but my children where small
To fish in Noakhali, then lay all day in the sun
My true love said that life there was so much fun
...

I am a mannequin fashion me today
bend me shape me any way
Make me look like your woman
...

I have never won the lottery
but if I ever did I'd buy
A lovely little run a round car
something pleasing to my eye
...

You say that you love me, yet you still hold a grudge
I have tried every trick to erase it, still it wont budge
I told you I was sorry john time and time again
I would never have hurt you or caused you pain
...

She wanted to be a star, Well known near and afar
Someone posh in a Brand new car
She wanted to be a star, Her fave in glossy mags
dressed so fine, not in rags
...

Last night as I lay thinking, you sneaked into my head
I tried to turn you off from thoughts, but you stayed instead
you made me remember valentines nights from long ago
Me and you out for the night, kissing dancing slow
...

My friend got abducted by aliens, they took her in their ship
The beamed her with a magic torch, it made her kip
She woke up quite Drowsy, No idea what they had done
One said in broken English 'Boy that was fun'
...
