Your ashes swept away

Scattered where we first kissed
Tears flow freely into morning mist
Memories afloat on waters deep
Sleep, sleep softly sweetheart sleep.

Sadness now, you had to leave
To heal we need that time to grieve
Embrace that love we fondly shared
For this we are so ill prepared.

Now with you, at peace, at rest
I breathe a sigh. at your behest
I smile remember happy times.
The road to love is tough sometimes.

Sweet Afton

Sweet Afton
oh that carbon stick
your ashes we did flick
Behind school sheds
Passed secretly around smoke filled clouded heads.
Bought in single measures
from a corner store
Balanced now upon an ear
A treasure to adore.
Now a butt of ill repute
A pleasure now replaced
by a scented substitute
With chemicals sweetly laced
But is it just a step too far
To persecute All smokers
When the ball is in the other court
With politicians and stockbrokers.
