I fell in love with a manhole cover

Updated: 3 days ago


It's a feeling, a state of mind

As I leave my PD at Heathrow

The rising sun, my new found lover

I fall in love with a manholes cover

So much here I want to know


Everywhere you discover tranquility

Look and you will surely find

A roof top garden where children play

A hidden shrine where people pray

You just relax, explore your mind


Toil and labour with devotion

Gardens constantly attended

Cherry blossom a spring time crown

Oh so brief, then to the ground

Like life itself. It's time has ended

Lying still it makes no sound


The Japan's, a new found destination

Food an artistic treat

Nourishment a culinary delight

A thrill to taste, eyes to delight

Consume it's beauty as you eat


The days pass easy, drifting by

Too soon the time has gone

To yourself a promise, you'll try

As you say a last goodbye

Remember this paradise you've stumbled on
