We are who we are Today because we were who we were Yesterday. We do what we do Today because we did what we did Yesterday. We will become who we become Tomorrow because of who we are Today. So, if you get stuck in who you were Yesterday, instead of Living who you are Today, then who you become Tomorrow, will be shaped more by who you were Yesterday, than who you are Today. Just to ...

You need hope to see a future

Without that there's only despair

That's the lesson you taught me

When you told me you didn't care

 

There was no tomorrow in your eyes

Only dead ashes from yesterday

There was no tomorrow in your eyes

My future's upped and flown away

 

Our journey's come to to dead end

I'm backed up against a concrete wall

Even now I'm hoping again...

When sun comes against all odds

And the colours of life just pop

Or when the rain falls

It falls and falls

And you wet your lips

With piping hot tea

With warm biscuit

Savour the crumbs

Cosy and safe

In the arms of a jumper

The padding of the sofa,

Like a huge hug

Or when your face aches,

Your stomach vibrates

Because you are fighting to breathe

Through ...

I wake up each day and feel nothing. I don’t look forward to the day. It is just a mission to get ready. To be prepared for what the day brings me. Is this right? Is this the way my life should pan out. Not feeling joy in each day is sorrowful. It is saddening for the soul. I have so much to feel grateful for, but I do not feel it. I am blinded by it. I don’t appreciate my freedom because my heart...

This life can peel away the layers of how I feel
Battling me down wanting my courage to steal
Sometimes I go into my dark place
For my dreams and fantasies I cannot face
Will not let fears of failure take my happiness away
I will have the strength to see the end of this day
What can be done about tomorrow
Maybe your dreams I will borrow
Look into a life that’s not mine
Is your life all ha...

In the days of chaos when life is a tornado

Looking for some calm and a direction to go

Stand your ground and hold on to what is real

The storm will pass no matter how you feel

 

Bright skies and sunny days are ahead

Live your life large and get out of bed

Smiling wider that the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge

Go and take your energy drink from the fridge

 

Be brave and show the...

I am the change that I want to see

I am the answer to what I think should be

I am the result before the question

I am the future put in motion

 

Take time to see what is real

Take time to know how you feel

Take time to rebuild broken dreams

Take time no matter how bad it seems

 

I am today as one person

I am always looking with a new vision

I am my own direction

The coolest day is tomorrow.

Tomorrow, without any sorrow,

We’ll do sport to lose weight

As we hate to be fat,

But want to look like an acrobat.

Tomorrow we’ll stop drinking,

Tomorrow we’ll stop smoking

And we’ll certainly start reading.

We’ll stop eating after six,

And different food we won’t mix.

But every day when we wake up,

Without any make...

Into a new dark age
we go, marching,
careening headlong

[of soapbox poetry
there is no want
for many a voice
loudly rail and rant]

the terrain of our
condition and that
of our experience
has changed over
year upon year of
progress that has brought
us closer to the edge
of a generation that
lives on the horizon

itself

peering further ...

Into itself, beyond vast darkness, remote lights beckon our tomorrow.

There are days
that songs are stifled
or the throat hoarse and weary
No more do notes glide softly -
raking leaves strewn across
the littered lawn
their butterfly wings
hung up in the wait
for another sunny day.


There are nights
that stars squander
their luminescence
on unappreciative lovers
roaming listlessly by
a moonlit shore
their br...

the old crow
that blotted out the sun
perched upon a fencepost
and made faces
I have only ever seen
with nose pressed
against the pane
as I spied
fallen leaves taken
onto the saddle
of a chilling breeze
to where tomorrow
could not yet be
