Let's Go Swimming Poem and Live Reading by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA

 Let's go Swimming

Let’s go swimming

Where the ocean never ends

Where the lost and lonely people

Catch up with their friends

Where water babies go

The seas

to ever roam

In search of mothers' love

Thrown in from up above

Let’s go swimming

Where no one ever grows

Where time stands still

For those

who chose

To walk the sandy beds

With the bubbles

of the dead

To guide them

without dread

Let’s go swimming

Under the seven seas

Naked in

our dreams

Where warrior women

freed

Search for babes

in weeds

Let’s go swimming

With angels wearing wings

Whose death songs sing

In echos from the shells

With lovers

saved from Hell

Let’s go swimming

And stop this endless time

Capture love sublime

To save it from the tide

 The Death Bed by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA, (Lyrics with a Biro) 

The Death Bed

And so my Dear

As you lay here

With a look of deep regret

I laugh, 

Nothing is perfect 

Is it Dear?

Even those

Who reach their goals

Seldom get their dues.

Failed pleasures,

Life ensues

Does it not

My Dear?

What is that you whisper?

Or was it just a whimper?

Let me lie a little near

Ah

That,

You should have said dear

I had no idea

I would have willingly kissed

Those antique cheeks

For a divine intervention

A lovers’detention

To make you spew

Some words of redemption

A dying confession

I’d have dressed as a priest

Released my love beast

Gorged on its feast

Of guilt released

You really should have said dear
