Ukraine are Still at War.

 

You might have heard about this before.

Ukraine and Russia are still at war.

They appear to have become the background news.

A nation still being persecuted and abused.

 

Invaded by their neighbour without provocation.

Inflicting untold horrors on an innocent nation.

Initially the world rallied and showed they cared.

To defend this innocent...

I Might Be a Lunatic.

 

I believe all the wars could end.

I believe every nation could be friends.

I believe we can wash the blood from the streets.

I believe there must be a way to find peace.

 

I believe we can all love thy neighbour again.

I believe we have it in us to understand.

I believe the world together can end poverty.

I believe everyone should be treated eq...

You got alot of nerve, stirring up mess

Churning emotions til they fester and burn

Wrecking havoc, thriving in your habitual habit

Unconcerned with the environment, leaving it in misalignment 

Antagonized by your exasperation

Declared our common enemy out of correlation

To fan out the flames of your generation

God’s Gift to Us.

 

They say the world is God's gift to us.

And foolishly in our hands he trusts.

Can he not see as the world turns round.

We are destroying it and raising it to the ground.

 

Nature's beauty vanishing.

Dictators increasingly demanding.

Wars increasing.

Humanity decreasing.

Blood freely flowing.

Poverty ever growing.

Egos need for filling.

I thought, I had finally, That, somehow, all that we shared were memories now. But then I saw the moon, the flowers, the cloudy night sky and the moonlight falling on them. Its funny, how there were a hundred different shades of black that night. And how the white flowers were so calm in the darkness that, hugged them. Before I could think of anything, my heart called out for you, as if w...

Angels Watching Over You

 

As you go to sleep.

In your hospital bed.

On the pile of pillows.

You rest your weary head.

 

I hope the angels.

Come out to play.

Make you better.

Take your illness away.

 

So, when you awake.

On another day.

Good health for you.

Will be here to stay.

 

So, my good wishes I do send.

And hope very soon.

You will be...

I stand before the threshold 

Of the dire circumstantial area,

Where the scent of curable drugs

Gives me a feeling of nausea. 

 

The long white corridor giving 

Room to sick and sickened patients,

Simultaneously tests the patience

Of related hearts living in suspence.

 

While the projected monitor-beeps

Fail to needfully and steadily beat,

Death nearly arrives a...

Never falter from your dreams

Nor dream to falter

Never hope to live no-more 

But live to hope for evermore 

 

Never chase your own despair 

Let despair chase after you

Never doubt the strength you hold

Let strength leave doubt out in the cold

 

Never fight when you can talk

Let talk win the fight for you

Never call for hate when understanding is needed

Tomorrow It Could Be You.

 

As I sit with my bowl huddled on the floor.

Watching endless people enter the supermarket door.

I'm cold and tired from another hungry night.

And to all these people I am an unwanted sight.

 

My worn-out clothes are smelly and full of holes.

My shoes let in the water right through my soles.

I just looked straight ahead hoping someone will stop...

Growing up i watched a plethora of superheroes,

And i was in awe at all of them,

Wonderwoman with her whip,

Spiderman with his webs,

Superman with his flight,

Not to forget the ethereal mermaids.

 

With everyday that passed,

I hoped and anticipated,

Prayed, yearned and cried,

that, I too, might be blessed with a superpower-

Something that would make me unique

Cuttings

 

Here we go 'round the mulberry bush,

The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush.

Here we go 'round the mulberry bush,

On a cold and frosty morning morning.

 

They took a sprig from Hatfeild Hall

And planted it in Wakefield Gaol

A Mulberry bush grew on the spot

Its humble origins forgot

And there female prisoners exercised at night

Beneath the pale Yorkshire...

In the silence that resonates,
a lament of absences,
the flowers bloom in the shadows,
whispers of a life that fades away.

Eyes searching the horizon
for a trace of hope,
but pain, like a poem,
is sculpted in the words of the day.

The city is a labyrinth of steps
that reflects solitude at every corner -
laughter dissolves in the wind
like falling petals,
disguised in the chaos.

My reflection doesn’t tell my story yet I still feel as though it defines me

 

When I look,

 

 I see my flaws

 

I see mistakes

 

I see problems

 

Looking at others I see so much beauty

 

They have the perfect clothes

 

Perfect hair

 

Perfect face

 

Perfect body

 

Maybe it’s just a facade but it seems so real

 

Pushed on me is the pe...

In the hush of night, I speak to You,  
My heart is heavy, my faith unsure,  
I’m young, on the brink of my prime,  
Yet time seems to slip, like grains of sand.

I ache, Lord, in this restless quest,  
Trying to believe, though I’m oppressed,  
Do I continue in this weary chase,  
Or is it just a lost, empty race?

I see others, their paths seem clear,  
While I stumble, gripped by fea...

When will it go away?

 

The pain in my chest

 

Pain in my stomach

 

Pain. 

 

It’s repetitive and never stops

 

It creeps up on me like bugs

 

Stings like a wasp

 

Bites like a mosquito

 

And leaves, taking a small part of me

 

Some say it’s a part of life 

 

Maybe I don’t want that

 

If this is life 

 

Maybe I don’t want any p...

Into the translucent silence,
above the heartbeat of the stars
and the flight of the seagulls,
I will return with the gentle sky 

Like the breeze that ruffles the forest
or the moon that peeks through the night, 
and no matter how autumn dies there will always be a spring,
in the same way I will return

On the thought that crosses time
and lives on from its balconies,
like the pollen ...

Il y a des moments dans la vie

Qu'on ne risque pas d'oublier

Des moments incroyables

Qu'on aimerait recréer

 

Comme le moment précis

Quand je t'ai vu pour la première fois

Une simple rencontre

Que m'a rempli de joie

 

Je marchais dans la rue

Quand on s'est croisés

Et dans ce moment précis 

Le temps s'est arrêté

 

Le bruit autour de nous

S'est soudain...

It was on my first of many elevator rides 

up from the basement floor

I met a woman with short, red hair and a leather jacket, 

who I only ever saw 

just this once. 

 

I don’t know whether I ever responded

when she spoke to me

or to God

or to the elevator door 

 

saying:

three years ago, now,

they had given her six months to live. 

 

saying:

You can learn a lot about yourself in the dark..

The things that once terrified you no longer appear so large 
and that flame that you had to light for yourself 
will guide you to places that you didn't know existed

Thank yourself that you persisted 
You lit that fire in the damp, in the cold 
You nurtured it as it turned from a flicker to nothing but coal

Really, thank yourself for n...

Change is the most natural part of life 

The summer cannot last forever 
I have learned simply to never say never 

I change my mind 
Perspectives and feelings move with time 

Nothing is certain 

Before you know it, it is Autumn 
and your leaves are turning into shades of gold 

To begin something new you must let go of the old 
It is okay to fall

Winter may be harder and it wi...

You are an artist

Every morning as your eyes open up
you reach for your paintbrush 
unknowingly

You are the canvas 
and your actions are the splatters
Inspired by your dreams 
and all to you that matters 

You bring to life the beauty that you think
Transforming the formless into reality
your desires turn to ink

Do not downplay the smaller things you do
as every single brushstro...

I often think about the past.
Had it been too slow or too fast?
Then I ponder on what might have been.
What I might have done and might have seen.

I think about all the times I've wasted,
And how I took for granted the things I tasted.
Where am I going? What am I doing?
What became of the life I had once been viewing?

Now all I see is a fog so dense
That in this life I can find no sen...

Let's escape our separate towns together,
Away from prying eyes,
Where no one knows our faces yet,

And our love needs no disguise.

 

Let's camp out in the world together,

And I'll hold you through the night,

With your head upon my shoulder,

We sit watching stars burn bright.

 

We'll laugh and smile discussing hopes and dreams,

And make known all of our desires,

We'l...

Jeez!

I can't hear the telly 

for your bubbling belly!

Stop being horrible! You know I get IBS

Aye, Irritating Belly Sounds!

I laughed

She didn't 

Her cheeks glazed with cherry red

But, also, the weight loss?

And, you need to eat more! 

You're like a mouse lately. 

Eeek, eeek, She mimics (badly)

She turns, cups my face in her hands, 

kisses me

But, there's...

If your mind becomes imprisoned,
And the whole world now seems strange,
And the things you once enjoyed
Now no longer make a change.

If your life now has no reason,
And you just exist from day to day,
Just drifting between each moment,
And it doesn't help what others say.

No matter where you may be -
Whether in the country or the city,
All your interests may have dissolved,
And you ...

I travel across this phenomenal path, a path that trails me to justice, a path that unites me with the lofty dome of the human establishment. From these broken shattered glasses of the dome, I gaze upon the increasing influence of insecurities among these humans. One of the sides of this dome had an air of fear and vengeance while the other parts here repres...
