Salty kiss

Salty kiss

Beautiful creation 

Perfect cetacean;

And some flirtation!

In Pretty location.

Rubbery lips,

Salty kiss!

Got my wish -

Swum with big fish!

Friendly orca,

Rainbow aura;

Been to snorkel

Though the coral.

Felt her skin;

Held fin to swim

Made me grin

From cheeks to chin!

Had a purpose

It was gorgeous -

And enormous!

This grey porpoise

Charming  creature

Talking screecher!

Wanted to reach her

Stunning features.

Dolphin, lion seal

Really real!

Felt surreal

Felt unreal.

Missing things!

Missing things!

Miss you both and lots of things:

Hair in the bath, overflowing bins!

Mugs in the attic, washing galore.

Missing all these things, like never before!

And the stuff I found up in the loft;

Whatever left in that bag had a bad waft!

A drink and a sandwich with mould that was growing

I didn’t look, so no way of knowing!

You've gone away; it's much too quiet;

No Sunday mixing, singing with all the riot!

No have a good shift or have a good day

And it's been so extremely different today.

All meals eaten, no dinners' kept aside,

Your fish and chips welcome at the seaside!

The cat is sulking as there's no soft bed

Or to curl up to you and rest her head.

The airing cupboard is free from your tops;

No ins and outs popping out to the shops!

Towels in the bathroom are too neat and tidy -

Just glad you'll be home before Good Friday!

No banter in the morning, it's just so serene

Am really hating this house that's so clean!

Shampoo, conditioner, body-wash in place -

Would rather have the whole lot misplaced!

No high five, jokes and laughter;

No washing on the floor to ask after.

It’s so quiet, morning evening and night-

Please come back soon - it ain’t quite right!
