Just Forget

Forget the pictures, the times in life
forget the moments, forget your wife 
forget the turmoil , disasters hand
forget your childhood in another land
forget your talent that made you great
forget your children, forget your mates
a tortured future is what you will find
The joy has gone, love is unkind
Forget the photographs, forget those times
there is no future for a damaged mind.

Choices to make

In a postcode war, integration of vile 
if only the choice would be, to wait a while
imagine a moment to stop and think
drop the knife, drugs and drink
save the future lives of at least two young men
drug fiends going nowhere, then again!

Symphony

I feel the music, it’s in my soul 
filling a gaping hole
prancing and dancing as if by magic
the story is a sound that moves me far away
then melancholy it stirs my emotions to sway
I weep as it captures my all, in tender heart
joy is at an end before again it starts

The sky fell

Temperate disease, iradical power
Alters delightfull to bitter and sour
the question on humanity’s lips
‘where were you, when it fell’ 

A moment of peace or peaceful desire
Left in a quandary, impeccable choir
The sky so vivid with burning colour
momentarily blind, an explosion of fire

Crows lay around with a deathly hope
remaining carcass, immovable scrub soap
all is well, yet there’s darkness inside
contradicting action, posthumously hide

The largest flower most beautiful bloom
brings the finality far too soon
crest of dust, mighty throne
peaceful surge, though not for long

Ineluctable darkness in the glorious sun
shrouded in a cloak of what’s to come
some will simply wonder why
was it a message from heaven or hell? 
others will never forget when the sky fell.

Silent reminder

a long queue of traffic at temporary lights 
rain briskly falling on the windscreen 
swish a swish the wipers sweep
drowning out the buzz I keep
clattering a pitter patter
screeching rubber thudding stop
hoot from the car behind 
waking from the trance, I hop
noise returning, no escape
the sound at night, a wee awake
deep loss of joy is my pay and stake

Spring awake

Enlightenment of spring, 
burst into early existence reaching for a peek at the sky 
fragility of a slim stalk begging why?
a beautiful hue of yellow trumpeted fragility 
singularly is sparsely weak
in mass a chorus doth speak





Different

Feeling different from the rest of the world as lots of unwanted boy, man or girls failing in successes, bullied coz of me looking at life, ...
