You want motivate to get out of bed 
You can't find in it yourself 
You'er a slave to your daily rituals 
But they're not going to help you find happiness
We got happiness and being comfortable mixed up

So smile and tell yourself that you're all okay
While you're drowning in the rain
Home is a place that keep's us locked
Into a comfortable loop that never ends

So if this is coping

The smell of snow

Today snow covered the ground

In the town

Where I live

No kids

Were out in the open

Building snowmen

That image from the telly

Of rosy cheeked cherubs in wellies

And vibrant wooly hats and gloves

That marketing men so love.

Sadly I knew they would be alone

At home

Building virtual snow creatures

On their mobile phones.

My heart is...

I still yearn for her while she spreads her dark fragrance in the place. She does not weary from caressing my lips in the morning and evening. My mistress in my loneliness and my geniality. I have known her since I was a child, playing with my fingers and sleeping after I close my eyes first.

I wonder if she would remember me after I leave this life. Would she be with her period of mutual ...

Roll up

Join the tour

Look around

There’s a Shard n’ the London Eye

Weeping and saw it all

The laundry never shuts down

Sprouting chrome and glass

Soaring drone over the underpass

Too Many Mr Bigs from here & there

Too big individually to take on

Watching Games of Thrones

Sword fights in the street

Young boy died of stab wounds

You were the oasis of my life, my refuge, my identity and my words .. Shrapnel of your words are still in my body. It was shaken me from the vein to the vein and I do not know how I vocalise my time after that .. You hid my life forever ..

On Thursday evening
I pray near a Grave in Kashmir
Incense sticks
And candles
Lit in bundles
Aroma makes me feel
As I kneel

This is land of my forefathers
Where they rest
I too look for a place nearest
I belong to these graves
Here my soul craves
To sleep till eternity
In the Eden of divinity
What else I should ask
That has more dignity

Part one: Afternoon Tea
Sandwiches, scones and butterfly cakes
adorning lily white, fringed table cloths Matching gloved hands
giving silver service
Waitresses in linen aprons
and frilly hats
that cover locks
of unkempt hair.
Tea rooms steaming
The aroma’s from rich brews
of Indian, Darjeeling , Earl Grey
and mint teas
permeate through both floors
Crammed with aristocracy

We tread carefully with the mere thought of getting it so dreadfully wrong, one may ask what ‘it’ is?. Is ‘it’ the walk of life?, the work we do and the love we hold so dear?, is ‘it’ that everything we cherish could so easily turn to dust with our fear, a nightmare beyond proportion fighting for survival, striving for success then at the stroke of achievement like a wonderous ice sculpture the we...

Life is like a bowl of cherries

Sadness can be looming

then suddenly a project only you can do

comes into your day

Purpose to the rescue...

Humans can be a real pain

The darkness within us

painful death cries that

sometimes sound's so bitter 

sweet to our ears as they slowly

But as the silent lies makes

Facebook

How do I know my cousin’s daughter’s boyfriend loves Tex-Mex?

Because he tells us via Facebook that he’s spilled some on his kecks

He’s checked-in from Chiquito’s – just passed his driving test

He’s with his best pal, big daft Al, who’s had a tattoo on his chest.

I only write when I'm sad
Cause I use my words to cope.
So what am I supposed to say
When I feel the slightest bit of hope?

Love poems and positive thoughts?
I've tried that but it's all been said
I start writing and all I can think about
Is the times I wanted a bullet in my head.

Pretty typical stanza coming from me
Everything I write is basically the same
Oh no, I broke down the fo...

Here I am again.

Lost in the same world of limbo that I always get trapped in,

Oceans of mystery below me,

Plants growing underneath me,

Stars shooting above me,

I have been stuck in this oblivion for what has seems like decades,

Ideas and thoughts looping around and around inside this tiny head of mine,

Nothing seems realistic anymore yet it does not feel like a fantasy eithe...

1.
in summer
we sit in the branches

picking leaves
from the strands
of our hair
we break the stems
and touch
the bleeding tips
to our tongues

2.
quietly
the fruit falls

aging in the soft
shoulder of the ground

flies gather
eating life
before the ending day

summer fails

and fails again

new grass

crowded against

fake sweeteners' faith for diabetics

brave men to eat a labyrinth

gun-running is in my blood

leaden-mired and wallowing

Warhawk and Nate
The Warhawks took off and flew upwards
Like angry hornets looking for trouble
Covering the frail old biplane
A flying camera with brave crew
Tasked to look for enemy locations
Flying here and there warlanes they were
American flown Curtiss fighters
Guarding the Filipino crewed Stearman
On a mission of war in the second global war
The Japs were ready and scrambled planes

I stopped to blink 
And saw your beautiful face
There in the rainbow
Holding the light at bay
Creating a startling array of colours
That could only have been seen
At the dawn of the universe.
You moved to deflect the reflection
And caught a ray of sunshine
In your smile
I could only look on and wonder
At this sight of an angel.

Listen up son:
i've known cash, folding

the sluttiness of it,

how persuasive it can be.

Dirty, used notes

no truck with morality.

Once or twice cash has come easy

lifted me up, then brought me down. 

Those days are over,

lost with Securicor vans,

balaclava raids, sawn - offs.

Lost to an artificial world

Love speaks to everybody
It's a universal language 
It connects us all over the world 
We use it to speak globally 
Everyone has felt love 
And everyone will feel it 
It's what connects us humans 
And stops us walking alone 
Love can crush the world 
And lift it back up again

I hate that drum's discordant sound,
Parading round, and round, and round:
To thoughtless youth it pleasure yields,
And lures from cities and from fields,
To sell their liberty for charms
Of tawdry lace, and glittering arms;
And when Ambition's voice commands,
To march, and fight, and fall, in foreign lands.

I hate that drum's discordant sound,
Parading round, and round, and round:

The sun upon your skin

The stars that kiss you softly 

The earth beneath you spin

Taste the sweet of happiness

the bittersweet of victory

the sickly sweet of sin

Be proud of what you did

For you survived tragedy 

When you were just a kid

The way you look at me

It’s like a spell

I'm scared

I want to cry because it feels genuinely real

My mind 

is it playing with me

My heart is strong saying no way

Why won't I let you love me

I'm scared to let you get close to me

As you open me 

Squeeze me

You hold me close like you never want me to leave

When I stare back 

But not for long 

Because you will...

You are such a beautiful woman and I spent my life trying to find you

as I look at the waters of the beach, so beautiful and so sparkling blue

but in the water, I see something shining and I see it staring at me

I must go get it, before it is too late

the wind is perfect and it is such a perfect day

I see it and I swam for it and I saw millions of diamonds

Second Spire

Suite 17; 66th Storey.

She’s still sleeping…

Spontaneously swooping songbirds, serenading sacred seascapes, sing sentimental songs sailing swiftly southward.

“Stop staring,” she says sleepily, shyly smiling. Somehow staring seems so surreal since seeing Sarah; seems so somatically subsistent. So smitten, so ...

A valuable gift,

An emotional curse,

Seeing past the illusion,

Stuck with the truth

Ugly at times,

But you know it’s for the better,

In a world of pretenders,

There’s only a few authentic left 

A loving heart,

Unable to be free,

God forbid you love a fraud,

Imagine you’re 6 feet deep 

The mind and the heart are at odds,

HOW can they reconcile?

Skeletal remains of burnt and blackened trees hiss by the open window, down to cool the wet air heavy and thick with humidity. Plumes of red powdery dust explode from tyres pounding the rough dirt road, snaking through hills older than time itself, unable to tell stories of an age long forgotten, just black and silent, giant and ominous against the eery blue sky, marked with inky clouds sprawling ...

These eyes cry a thousand times, without a wipe to my face

My heart beats with a skip in it, knowing your out there without me

My body gets weak when I'm thinking of you, that's why it's hard to lift myself up

I'm nothing, nobody, lost, scared, blind without you

I miss you so much

You may go and I’ll watch with a heavy heart 

As I see you turn from where we were at the start 

I’ll be stood in this place where we were once stood close

Where our lips pressed together, where I held on to your clothes

I’ll remember the feel of the skin against mine 

Your breath in my ear , in my mind I’ve developed a shrine 

Is that alright for you?...

More than the eye can see

Everything we desire is transitory

we grasp it and it slips away

Nothing is really permanent

not even ourselves

We chase our tails

like playful dogs

We follow the fashions of the day

which lead nowhere

We build only to witness decay

we love but only for a season

The rains often torrential

soon give way to aridity

Tick tock tick...
Her heart tock ticks...
Drying her lips,
a coffee she sips...

Recalling the things,
Memories she sings..
Tick tock tick...
Coffee she spills..

Giving her thoughts,
to fly with the wings...
Tick tock tick,
again she blinks...

Her life was the coffee,
in the bitter and sweet...
And then she is gone,
in the next minute...

There are moments in life where people will think your paranoid,

For what you see is not friends but enemies.

Those are the times where you must say...

"Who you see as friends with bright colors,

I see as enemies with dark hues.

To be aware,

To be cautious,

Is not a paranoid thing to do.

It is simply knowing who to trust,

When the times get tuff,

Dawn cries to our hill, foretelling of day,

with deep shadows brightening, tree tops enlightening

the jackdaws, whose wing flaps and foot hops prepare them

as aerospace sky-students pre-warming to fly.

Bed clothes reject us, for now we must rise

no need for our satchels, our bonnets, our books –
