Memory of you #

Looking out the window is where I like to be
way up high in the sky looking down at the sea
the claustrophobic pressure is too much to bare
Yet looking out the window, I can see everywhere 

 Yet it’s so true, that I’m feeling blue 
coz the memory in my mind 
always leads me back to you

The clouds are so surreal, the sun shines across
a feeling of peace inside and not one of loss
Oh England is so green and so is Ireland too
most beautiful of landscapes in the sky is a hue 

Yet it’s difficult to see, why you bothered with me
perhaps that’s why I’m feeling so blue
Coz I still have that memory of you

As we descend on the flight path at five hundred feet
the ground pulls us downwards 
We’re back upon our feet
the heat hits me sideways as I step down from the plane 
I turned to grab your hand my love
but your gone away again

yet it’s so true you’re gone and I’m feeling blue 
coz again it leads me back to the memory of you
it leads me back to the memory of you
the memory of you

Scattered pieces

No shadow of turning, look into onward
I shall not be returning 
steadfastness in my wake
forward strident steps I take
yet when the darkness closes in my haunted past is here again

‘O’ where is peace for thy soul to rest
 hungry wolves are at my breast 
  thumping, jumping heartening thud
forgive me lord for there is no rest
 a hatchling sparrow falls from the nest   
with a golden crown upon her crest 

Sadness in my glance, which they judge
quivering tremble of a beaten cub
misattribution of a splintered grudge
besets the future, lays a fragile bludge
fresh running stream that instead
Is a path to the life of a settled trudge

The world we live in

Would the world we live in be a better place
where corruption were not so commonplace
Londons streets aren’t paved with gold
escaping for a life that’s  bleak and cold
 A place they kill the poor, the weak, the old

Insurgence of a friendly ghoul
trust your vote to a cretinous foe
things would never ever be the same
if blue blood boiling weren’t in the vein

Trust no one with a thumping hand
the kind that falls but never lands
a politicians spew of drunken lips
Look for the stain of piss on zips

rise up from deep then trust your wit
be of strong heart look out of a pit
darkening the rim then pouring shit.
Upon you heads the blood stealing nits 

Never again control your soul
Eradication of money 
a freedom we will know
end of greed a capitalist creed
end of hatred from the people we bleed
feed the hungry abolish the greed

give the world the love it needs

Pictures of our own

Every memory for some a reminder of once lost
 triggers a a time of joyful emotional cost
pray for the moment your soul is at rest
an extra vacation of forgiveness 
away the anxiety be it a hardened crest
then be still lost, with no caress
The feeling long past can restart justifiable pain
yet, maybe a reminder to never return there again.

No way off

Each day fades and is done, 
retrieval of memory from the previous one,
Tired, so tired of the following to come
not knowing where this roundabout begun
there is no way off until the trial is gone

Hateful Heart



Gone are the strays and waifs that walk the streets 
Gone are the right wing thugs that steal your beets
Away goes the truth, the friendly face, no disgrace
In the past are the fascist tellers of whitened hate

Lift your arm you encourage hate
wearing a swastika at the garden gate
do not come around here with your rascist spate
the dance will not die, freedom is fate

Wealth is the knowledge of a brothers love 
different nations and a protective glove 
Open barriers and borders too 
Share our food, our wealth, a collective stew

Learn with knowledge, grow together 
give each nation a hand, welcome all those  
from another land, most of all find peace  
let go of the hate with a thousand year lease

Look from glass



You look at the world without a smile 
Moving inadvertently for a little while 
Catch your breath then begin to choke 
Shouting inappropriately beyond bespoke 

For a tiny moment you fall asleep 
Eyelids flutter as if to peep 
Some speak of kindness to 
Relinquish life, Stop the pain 
Never let you be born, again and again 

Pure births for a righteous stake 
Perfect people for for perfect sake 
Accept the reason for a clinical race 
Without a blemish, no mark or trace 

I Listen to your awesome sound  
The youthful joy, a colour found 
No judgement on your face of hate 
No anger when I come home late 

Your imperfections are perfect to me 
The love I hold for you is free 
You bring joy if only for a while 
Unique the way you live in style 

To lose you soon would break my heart 
But understand,  I would try to start 
you will not be able to stay too long 
Yet to be with you now fills my heart with song!  
you will be with me always, even when your gone
