sadness (Remove filter)
She left home
She left home like a stranger in the night
No goodbye for the parents behind her
Shattered, broken and distraught
This isn't what they thought
Estranged and departed
Seperated and disheartened
Where do you belong?
Now you know there's something wrong
Meanwhile the parents stay
Like sharks circling at your bay
Only time will tell
In heaven or hell

Dear Absent Friend
Dear absent friend
Are you still there?
Do you still lurk in the places we used to?
Or have you moved on to pastures new?
Dear absent friend
Do I ever cross your mind?
Even on days with no rain from the skies
It rains from my eyes
Dear absent friend
I long to hear your voice
For your asks I could not fulfill
But I miss you still
Dear absent friend
I hope that you are happy

I am capable of love
Words can be weaponised
Be careful with the words you use
What might be a throw away sentence to you
Forever imprinted, taunting anothers mind
When you chose these words
Did you remember the things about me which only you know
The secrets I don't share freely
But entrusted with you
People have preconceived notions
Ready to label and validate assumptions
You saw behind the mask
Y...

Dancing Darlings
Dancing sweet hearts wake one day
Summer break sing and play
Dancing darlings summers morn
Monday Mersey mums they mourn
Silent street dressed in flowers
Prayers on prayers crucial the hours
Dancing beauties nature's Purest
Harmonised with angels to heavenly chorus
Beyond heartache Unforgettable day
Endless love to God we pray

Night's Embrace
My eyes see in a monochrome light, a vivid world of grey.
Thoughts jumbled and troubled, caught in a caricature of a play.
A melancholy melody, humming through the shadows of my soul.
This symphony of sorrow, echoing, no joy can it cajole
Whispers of a silent woe, dancing with the ghosts of past.
The silence of this madness, a dark rite that seems to last.
A haunting echo of memories, clingi...

Angels Call
At a loss to know what happened, I did not see you fall
I wasn't there, I didn't see when Angels came to call
A world without, memories now is all I see
I leave you now, to say your own soliloquy.....
This is could be my own exposition,
Bills, money, world events, my own loneliness decision
People all around me but I'm hiding the pain
Physical illness or mental strife is all that I gain

The Loss
Every loss is felt
Just as a ripple is spelt in water
Ever decreasing, calming asunder
A clock ticks in a house even emptier than before
The dark lingers in a hall still and sure
The cat rules now
Wondering why and how
Water weeps from a pungent wound
Never to be cleaned but to neglect and fester
Such a thought no beautiful sight could hinder
Leaving the los...

Chicken Every Meal
I get a little tired of it - folks who seem to think
they must be happy all the time or else they’re on the brink
of some traumatic end, oh yes, like everything is bad
if once in a blue moon they have to deal with being sad.
It makes no sense to me at all. Just what do they expect?
They should be happy day and night and never get set back.
Well, I can’t grasp it, not at all....

Ode to Percy…(a cats best friend)
Watching the leaves fall
Standing so tall
Waiting at the window
I still wonder
It wasn't so long ago
I can still see us
Haunting shadows in the dusk
Running, fighting, climbing
Making footprints in the snow
Your furry figure lingers at the edges of my mind
Gone but not forgotten
Your smile runs to hide
Sunny days fade away
As your ghost lies st...
