Why do I need a woman?
-
Why do I need a woman
To reinforce my self esteem?
Why do I need a wife
To keep my socks and boxers clean?
Why do I need a girlfriend
To fulfil an empty scheme?
I'll tell you why I need her
She'll share my hopes and dreams.
-
Why do I need a woman
I can live my life myself
Why do I need a lady
So Im not left on the shelf?
Why do I need a girly
To hold my helpless hand?
Ok I know why I need one
To be a real true friend
-
But why do I need a woman?
Why? Now tell me that?
Why do I need a female/
Why not a dog or cat?
Why do I need a lady babe
To keep me warm in bed?
Cos human touch is vital
Or life is simply dead!
-
What do I need in a woman
That's not in my garden shed?
What could she do or give me
That I couldn't do instead?
Apart from kids, what is there
That a wedding band can bring?
Too right, I do not need her
It's just nice, that's what I said.
-
The path of life is lonely
Without a partnership
That's what my mother told me
Her hands I tried to grip
And when I lost my lady
I thought that I might slip
But then my eyes were opened
To a world that I'd never seen...
and I was free... to be.. me...

Poetry: Troubled relationships
by Jade Li
Why Should We Go On This Way?
Lately I’ve been on my knees
I’ve been praying for me and you everyday
If you
Closer To The Door
You come home from work each evening
as though it's got to be
But you look as if you find us all a bore
And

Troubled relationships
Knives and forks
Going wrong in life
Pots and pans
Being thrown at
Each other
Brink of divorce
Brink of
First Night
Soft gentle light a glow
On my bed hunkered low
Sweat pants and socks scattered on the floor
Orange and white Garfield
by dislike
What Happened to Us?
Fair masterpiece painted behind the rust
Metallic mask of rain and summer’s dead
Reflection
