I’ve waited for my valentine
For
such a long, lonely time
I
have waited for years
For
him to end all my tears
I’ve
waited for cupid to start
And
shoot his arrow at a heart
The
piercing of my valentine
That
would then make him mine
And
I hoped and I prayed
For
a valentine loving serenade
But
I never ever got one
So,
I shot cupid with a gun
You
may think my actions hard
But
he did nothing in my regard
And
when apology remained unsaid
I
shot cupid in the head
Love is like a bad winter cold
It
strikes at the young and the old
It’s
not something for which they can inoculate
There
is no cure for those who participate
So
even if you feel like you have the flu
Love
is just something you must go through
We didn’t think that life
Could get any better
We were young
Happy and content
Kicking footballs
Building carts
Climbing trees
Fishing in the pond
Swimming in the pool
Then they came along
Distracting us
With their undulations
Their cheap perfume
That seemed so exotic
Walking with their funny wiggles
Laughing with their girlish giggles
And the boyhood fun was over
No more jumpers for goal posts
No more war games in the woods
We still played in the woods
But then it was holding hands
Hugging and snogging
And playing with fun bumps
But no more jumpers for goal posts
It was once
the home The Clerembeax’s, who arrived in Downshire following the Norman
conquests and stayed for a thousand years before the name died out following
the death of the reclusive Marcus Clerembeax at the age of 96.
The current
owner was Yvonne Labuschagne, who decided to open it as a Hotel and Spa.
The Spa was a
good attraction, but it was crucial for them to maintain a high occupancy rate,
however things were tough in the Hotel trade with the success of Travelodge,
Premier Inn and Holiday Inn Express and so places like the Palace needed to
offer something extra to attract the guests, apart from the Spa.
So, they put
on novelty weekends, such as “Murder Mysteries” and in addition, they had a
sizable Ballroom which was used for special occasions, high days and holidays,
which boosted occupancy and Spa numbers at the same time.
Not that the Spa needed too much help during the
summer months as the sun terrace the sheltered gardens offered an extra element
to the sun worshipers.
Clive
Armstrong was standing on the sun terrace at the precise moment a beautiful
brunette stepped through the door wearing a full-length silk robe and as soon
as she reached a chaise longue the exotically coloured folds of silk that had
prior to that moment cloaked her skinny frame dropped to the floor leaving her
wearing only a yellow bikini, sandals and a small gold crucifix around her
neck.
He stared
open mouthed at the yellow of her swim suit and marvelled as it showed in stark
contrast with her well-tanned olive skin.
Lillian Day
then lay face down on the chaise and reached around and undid her top, which
was when Clive stepped forward and said
“Would you
like me to put some sun cream on?”
“Oh yes
please” she replied “Just on my back, I’ve done everywhere else”
He knelt on
the terrace next to the chaise and perused her tanned body, as she lay with her
head turned to one side and was facing away from him.
“This might
be a little cool” he warned
“Ok” she
answered dreamily, and he squirted some cream on her back and began to gently
rub in the lotion.
“How does
that feel?” he asked
“Lovely” she
replied, and he rubbed some more until he said
“I need to
move your bikini aside, so I can properly apply the lotion”
“Ok” she said,
and he pulled it softy away from her skin and then slowly rubbed in the surplus
lotion until it was all worked in to her tanned flesh like a long relaxing
massage before he squirted some more onto her, only this time instead of the
middle of her back he deposited it on her shoulder blade, so it would run down
her side.
“Oops” he
said
“Don’t even
think of going after that” she said firmly
“Why ever
not?” he asked innocently
“Don’t think
you can take liberties just because we’re engaged”
“It’s as
good a reason as any” he retorted and then followed the path of the lotion with
his finger and she giggled.
If I knew then what I know now
I
would have made Linda mine
Lovely
Linda how I loved her
Her
smile long remembered still affects me
That
Christmas at the taxi rank
My
lips hold her kisses still
My
heart still yearns for her
I
let her go because in the back ground was Roger
I
thought it best to let it run its course
Or
he would forever be between us
I
was wrong and I lost her
I
know now she was the one
My
soul mate my Linda
What
a life we could have had together
What
a life we could still be having
If
only I’d known then what I know now of life
You are my ANGEL come to earth
The
BEST thing that ever happened to me
You
are my CONFIDENT, my assurance
You
are my DARLING with a capital D
You
are EVERYTHING in my world
Whose
FRIENDSHIP is beyond measure
You
are the GUARDIAN of my life
You
are a HEROINE to be treasured
You
are my INSPIRATION, my muse
You
are JULIET to my Romeo
Your
KINDNESS touches every heart
You
are my LOVER in the afterglow
You
are all the best MOMENTS of my life
You
are the NUMBER 1 hit for me
You
are my ONE and only
You
are PERFECTION with a capital P
Nothing
can QUELL my burning passion
You
are ROMANCE made flesh
You
are my SOULMATE
You
are the TREASURE of any quest
You
are the star in my UNIVERSE
My
VALENTINE each and every day
You
mean the entire WORLD to me
You
are X –RATED when we play
YOU
are the only one I want to be with
With
you I have reached my ZENITH
I had a first date with a girl
From
the I.T. suite
Who
for a computer nerd
Is
really very sweet
It
was a disaster
Not
quite but almost complete
I
wish that I could have hit
