Lulu Gee Poems

I love to walk at twilight
When gulls no longer screech,
Feeling the sand between my toes
As waves assault the beach.
...

As sunshine filters through the trees
Like shards of crystal glass
I look towards the heavens
Barefoot on new mown grass
...

My dressing table’s laden with oily balms and ointments
Serums, anti-wrinkle creams, emulsions and emollients

There’s everything to smooth my skin and wipe away the years
...

Dear Lord the nation’s weeping
For a baby so abused
Who suffered so appallingly
For this I am confused
...

As I lay my head to dream
On a pillow soft
I think of you and only you
As I do so oft
...

I love to catch a train............I do
Friends say, where you going Lu?
I think I’ll board the ten fifteen
And sit upon the velveteen
...

Sitting on my lounger
On the sunny patio
Drowsily relaxing
Listening to the radio.
...

I’d love to meet Toulouse-Lautrec
From the nineteenth century
Taking his hand in mine
To places quite unsavoury
...

Santa in his suit of red
Holding forth a toy
In his Christmas grotto
To a child wild eyed with joy
...

Come sit, it’s time for fairytales
From this my book of rhyme,
I’ll take you to a land of dreams
Where clocks don’t tell the time.
...

The Best Poem Of Lulu Gee

A Walk At Twilight

I love to walk at twilight
When gulls no longer screech,
Feeling the sand between my toes
As waves assault the beach.
When the sun’s below the horizon
And the moon starts to appear
I search the beach for seashells
To take home a souvenir.

Soft breezes kiss my cheeks
Wafting from the squally sea
As I watch a lobster fishing boat
Navigate the ancient quay.
Ozone fills my senses
As I kick the soft warm sand.
Breathing in the sultry air
That’s freckled me and tanned.

I love this time of day....
When there’s no-one else around
We have the beach to ourselves
Our very own playground.
Finding a piece of driftwood
We wonder where it’s from
And was it here on this spot
Last year they found a bomb?

Looking towards the lighthouse
A pair of sea lions frolic
Swimming in the foamy surf
Both hilariously comic.
And beyond the far horizon...
A cruiser, lights ablaze
Is sailing towards France
And the waters of Marseilles.

Alas, the sky is turning black
As day turns into night
And sandy dunes look eerie
In this diminishing light.
Pulling my wrap around me
I paddle one last time...
Humming ‘I Believe in you’
By the great Stephen Sondheim.

Moonlight is now glistening and
Shimmering upon the sea,
Casting flickering shadows
Like silvery filigree.
I smile into my lover’s eyes
As we run side by side,
Away from the crashing waves
Rolling on the high tide.

Our footprints wash away
As though we’ve never been
Here on this beautiful beach
Awash with carrageen.
Now standing on the bluff
We kiss and say adieu
Our parting is sweet sorrow
Till our next rendezvous.
