He's not usually one  That you'd expect to see  Here That strange looking guy Over there by the chair The one by the puggie Him In the blue jean's Standing not sitting Yeah That's him there He looks kinda shifty He worries me some Really My friend  What gives you  The right To be Judging the strangers You meet in your life You don't know  Who that is Is it his jacket  The raincoat His hat Does he have a strange walk Tell you what pal Just fuck right off! That man is a father A brother Someones kin An uncle A warrior? A son He has worked for a lifetime&nb ..read more

 For all of the places I've never seen  Scenic wonders or a well constructed Edifice adorned by the intricacies  Of the masons chisel  A white sandy beach on the aqua Caribbean  Stretching to a distant headland  Whos vista is disturbed by a Barbadian summers haze  A European forest where I might walk for one week among trees in their  Natural habitat  I've never sat at the stern of a liner  midway between here and there  No land glimpses above the endless curving  Horizons  In every direction  I've never seen these things fi ..read more

 Gone are the strings Snipped by sharp scissors  Each coloured chord Holding you tethered Unevenly severed You might topple Hard as it is To keep both feet on the ground The stresses and strains Want to drag you away The green ones a burden As are the others All shades Pulling you upwards Out of your comfort For now anchored firmly As you sharpen the cutter Snipping each one It might take a long time To cut your way free But best cutting something That is not you or me The circle disperses As your ills sail away Up into the heavens Where they pop  Dropping the stresses Like co ..read more

A cold dripping mist enveloped me in its cloak It lifted me on to a cloud Strewn with large stones Invisible boulders caused me to stumble Reminding  me while crouching forwards  That it is alright to be humble It came to me slowly Through help and assistance That in the past This life I love was littered with persistence Ever the fidget  Always moving When I sat down My body kept rigid Relaxation beyond me Such, busy 'ness' as liquid Flowing all the time Never meeting any obstacle No still pools with membranes  Insects dart across If you've been touched by illness Or lon ..read more

Building on foundations With bricks made of stress Results in them crumbling When the tower gets higher They cant stand the weight It presses them down Each one a brother Baked in the same kiln Placed on a different day Events can vary Some are scary Other you might lay yourself Being too serious Or maybe appear petty Morally up a gear Offended by the slightest Humour led image Or joke that offends you Perhaps it went past you You hold much sterner views When it comes to right and wrong You have your reasons Why should we judge you? But nevertheless If I might suggest Take a chill It help ..read more

Modern times We live in Historic some may say Everything is history Quicker than you can say Memories are hidden Sometimes we obscure Facts that speak with truth to us Revealing mistakes weve made Maybe in a conversation Or in something left unsaid? A joke you made quite innocently At another mans expense? Perhaps we wish we'd done things differently Spoken with respect, amicable positivity Laughed more quietly Not raised our voices Made better choices Not stolen the chocolate bar Or the radio from anothers car Not said I love you to one who destroyed you Never went to that place Passed throu ..read more

I had a dream one night that I had taken a fall Spinning as I plummeted Out of control I fell from a mountain From way up so high From then on my friends I was sure I would die. As I fell  The mists parted The green land below Rushing towards me Barreling, rolling Brief glimpses of earth Not soft and inviting  But harshly defining Quite fatal and instant I raged and I cursed I closed my eyes Emotions ran wild Laughing inevitably Crying with fear Knowing my adrenaline Could not help me get clear Running is futile when you cant reach the ground Fighting the air would have stupid It's not ev ..read more

They tear at me Ripping and shredding Bloodlines appear The ragged nail pattern Blood lines come to me To tear at the remnants of my fastbeating heart I am not perfection Nor conceited in my thinking That I ever have been I've made mistakes Said wrong things In stupid places Tried to help But was mainly just a conveyance Love can't be forced But hate can leave all hope lost Emotional turmoil Tears  fall Tears fall It does not matter how loudly I call They cannot hear me Have no reasons to find the truth Of  this mans life Hanging by a slender efficient knife Opened veins drain me out Silent ..read more

The soft sand ridden muddy path Under my feet Is cushioned for me by sturdy black boots Sloppy, slick slimy navigating as every part of my leg plays a part in keeping me upright Sinews twist, the cramping ageing muscles uncomfortably held in kilter Heading for home Light retreats The ever arriving daily dusk clocks in I can't see the car quite yet. This place takes me away But only for a short time Drudgery Routine Work Though enjoyable Wears at one Through time, burdened by the worries of others Chinks appear, cracks of darkness on a golden life Wandering, watching  twigs may snap Wind bl ..read more

She glides She minds If someone does her wrong She cares With all of motherly heart of hearts She loves Enjoyment, passions shared She cries When injustice is offered as punishment By country's near and far She will live We hope Until she is bent and old She is happy When things start going her way She is funny Intelligent In an unusual way ☺ Her worry Causes bumps sometimes Nervous In a crowded place. Unsociable She'd tell you herself An hour Then home to bed He Does not think like that He prefers To hang around Still similar In many ways He will love her Until the end of life They share a ..read more
