The Smile You Gave Me

You popped up on my timeline. You showed up in my life.

Only ever brief encounters, never destined to be your wife.

You waltzed-in in your dancing shoes and tap danced on my heart

Little knowing that your footprints would leave it left in tattered parts.

As perfect as the morning dew, you glistened as morning rose

Evaporating silently; no-one sees where the dew drops go.

But thanks for stopping in here, as those moments, they were bliss;

My cheeks heavy with your humour, my lips spattered with your kiss.

Memories laced with melancholy, recollections play

Eternally in hope that you’ll return, another day.

So whilst you’re out there searching, for the one you hope to find

I’m still wearing the smile you gave me. I hope that she won’t mind.

Two Places At The Table | A Poem

Two Places At The Table

There was a little table
With one sturdy wooden chair
There wasn’t lots of space
But one person sat happily there.

There was one set of cutlery
And a single solitary plate
Ready for the quiet meal
Where one sat and pondered one’s fate.

Now there’s a slighter bigger table
And it’s in a room with a view
With all the necessary requirements
For a perfect meal for two.

No longer silent and solitary,
Two contented souls sit there
Contemplating what life might be like
If there were another chair.

Two Places At The Table is a poem written by Ms Moem

I wrote Two Places At The Table as a short alternative wedding poem. It looks at the journey a person goes through from being a single individual, to then becoming part of a couple and finally, what comes next? The thought of being a family! That’s where the next place at the table comes in! It is a sweet little poem, and although I am biased, I really do like it!
I particularly like the way it fits with the simple cartoon illustration – sometimes less is indeed more!

Christmas Past

With Christmas all but over
Leftovers warmed, and gone
We take the decorations down
And life, it just goes on.

No more frantic shopping
No christmas carols play
No more gross indulgence
No more Christmas day

No more glitzy tinsel
No twinkling fairy lights
No more bouncing baubles
Gluttonous days and lazy nights.

It’s sweet goodbye to prodigals;
Au revoir to festive paper.
It’s ciao to tins of chocolate
And hourly snacking, see you later!

It’s been a great occasion
With feasting, gifts, and more
But since new year is on her way
I must show you the door.

Just until this time next year
When Santa calls again
But can we keep the charming peace
And goodwill to all men.
