Poem
Oh how I wish with my yearning nostalgic heart That I could wake up to find Today had just been a nightmare of a dream And it was still the wonderful 1980s When I was still young carefree and so nieve And what I could have been And what I could have achieved Life back then was less complicated People were generally more happy then And we still had hope to cling onto and dared to dream Those cherished halcyon days Sadly to know they will never come back again Everything was new and exciting There was a kind of buzz in the air There was Phil Okey from the Human League And Boy George looks like's In town everywhere My mates and I with our mullet spikey haircuts And New Romantics gear Would go from pub to pub drinking And songs by Visage Soft Cell The Cure The Thomson Twins Were the bands we loved and the music we'd like to hear The first Sweet blossoming of fumbled romance So tender as I remember the butterflies fluttering nervously In my belly and how we used to love to sing and dance We'd kiss and embrace tenderly and be lost in a blissful dream On the back seat of the cinema is where we used to go In a bus shelter and the park Hoping my Blisters and Mother Wouldn't know Strawberry and Canada dry glossy lipstick Was what they used back then So luscious sweet and delicious The heavenly and delightful fragrance of their hair And the appealing feminine pretty clothes They used to wear How I miss those days and the girls Everyone has a place in my heart No matter what they put me through Both Good and bad Although it rips my heart apart Back then I really lived But now something inside me has died I'm not the happy person that I used to be Only dear God knows the internal tears And how I've suffered and kept it all inside No longer loved or wanted by anyone I spend my days alone And still haven't found myself And although I've searched endlessly My heart still has no home I worry about the future And don't want to die alone If only today Was a bad dream Peter Dome©2024.
