The KinKs "The Last Assembly"

God Save The KinKs & Long Live The Village Green...We Love You Baby..Below is a poem I wrote for Katie's 17th Birthday

"It's Just A Cake"

I hopelessly sit here,
Like three years ago.
All the candles are lit,
No Sweet Angel to blow.

I look up to the heavens,
And shout out WHY ?
The silence is deafening,
They don't hear my cry's.

Just one last quick puff,
Thats all I ask for.
Do I ask for to much ?
As I slumped to the floor.

Yet again with dismay,
I feel no breeze.
No wind on my face,
Just me on my knees.

I fight all the demons,
That lurk inside me.
I would let them all out,
But I can't find the key.

This battle is fought,
every day of my life.
I hope Im winning ,
But its not a fair fight..

You can throw theology,
Right out the door.
The bottom line is,
She's with us no more.....

She lives in my mind,
Which is very confused.
I just wish I could see her,
Put on some shoes.

She lives in my heart,
So were never apart
She's with me today.
As it's pumping away.

Yet my soul is still searching,
For the love that I lost.
So hard to find peace
At whatever the cost

Then I look to the heavens,
And I desperately cry.
Please, just one more puff
No need to ask why .........

We Love You Baby,

Dad & The Girls

Penned for my Sweet Angels 17th Birthday...
