The gobble-de-gooke monster is playing with my words

Making them come out backwards,

Making them sound absurd.

I would say something to the Gobble-de-gooke monster

But it all comes out wrong

What can I do if his power over me so strong

It upsets my muse

I would write a poem but these words I wouldn’t choose

I always loose my train of thought when that monster is about

Eat her whole

knickers and soul

take her sexuality and use it to feed your own.

don’t whatever you do die alone

every dog needs a bone

and every dog as they say will have its day

she’s a woman you’re a man

what more is there to understand?

We are talking chemistry

We are talking about the lust you keep in your cage

In the metaphorical basement of your mind

Conquer your self rather than the world!

 

I am taking back this body which belonged to me at birth.

Cementing what I know and my self worth

from those who caused me harm

and made my heart bleed

I need nothing but the love inside of me

to be set free from its cage

of inhibition and mirrors of other peoples lives

but still my hope survives within

they try to make m...

How do you define insanity?

Insanity for me is having voices

 none of which are my own.

Being in a crowd but still feeling alone

the shattering of personality the breaking of form

nothing but the norm in an everyday world,

sanity on the flipside is about living without regret

but who can say they really are free of that regret

but do they let it ruin their lives?

Poets never die they just fade way into their own words

 

 

They are the light at the end of tunnel

These words line the pages of history and funnel outwards

They are me and I am them

They are the stem from which my thoughts flower

They are the real power to change the world

 

Can I help it that I am giving way to these words

And fading into pages of pen and ink

Faces under hoods in a urban jungle sprawl

Their backs up against the wall

We gave them rings and blingy things

we gave them TV, video games

but no chances

we gave them no direction

and they made no advances

because they were disenfranchised from society

demonised unquietly

in the media they were savaged

in law they were ravaged by asbos and court orders

It all starts with a dot

A mark of pen that forms a letter

And then a word then a sentence then a paragraph

It all starts with a dot of ink

A blink of an eye capturing a thought,

an ideal something abstract

Something real

We join the dots

We form an equation

We form an answer

We join the dots

2+2 must equal four

we open the minds door

we make logic whe...

I could drown in your eyes tonight

I could fall into your eyes and fade away

One kiss could complete me

One touch could heal my wounded soul

I‘d need no other lover

Only you

I have no control

It would be death by chocolate just to be yours

And you mine

But the lines of fate don’t always meet

And all I get it a fleeting glimpse

An imitation of love when you se...

I am the message I inspire
set souls on fire
a vestige of hope in days of darkness
I speak words of revolution
i can be the solution if you act now
so don't detract from the words I am saying
and the message given
which is driven home with concrete verbs and feeling
sealing the change for the future
i teach i nuture souls with love and not disdain
i heal the pain of the poor
but i shame the guilty with words...

Sometimes in seeing we don’t always see.

And being we don’t always just be.

We all make mistakes

Life gives but always takes

Freedom is not about just being free

Sometimes it’s about just being me

Sometimes we hide our feelings undercover

When being possessed by our lover

In laughing and crying maybe it’s not best to ask why

We choose to resist

Ignorance is bliss

This is what is like to have no words

 

All my words have been cut from my tongue
and I have been left mute
All words I have ever written have been burnt away like paper
All the words I have thought or thought to say have faded
like mental decay or memory loss
and I am left with nothing
but silence
other peoples words invade my space

This is England
Land of the brave
Land of the free
Land of the CCTV
Land of big brother in nanny state clothes
When will people finally realise nobody knows!
Land of terrorism on the news
Land of liberal views
Land of the prim and the proper
Land of being done by a copper if your drunk and disorderly
Its nothing out of the ordinary
Land of accents and regional twang
Land of literature and cockney rhyming slan...

This was supposed to be the future
Living on the moon
Space rockets and space travel
Maybe we peaked too soon
Teleportation and psychic control
Telekinesis technology and Jedi like souls
Necking pills for our food
Robot partners for the average dude
Time machines travelling through the ages
A half week and great wages
Microchips in brains for extra brain power
Weapons that would make the average alien cower

Poetry is movement without effort
Poetry should take you to places far beyond what your eyes can see
Take you to places where you can be free
Poetry is movement without effort
all you have to do is think and feel
and it will move you
and make your experiences real
poetry can cause pictures to form in your mind
speak a thousand verbs a thousand nouns or a thousand rhymes
all written for you to experience o...

and hands that are worn
I grasp the nettle
I cling to the new dawn
though the storm surrounds me
compounds and breaks my back
I thirst for longing of the love that i now lack

Here is the revolution
We’ll take back God
From all the you Christians you Muslims and sheiks
Because you have been preaching
Words that don’t teach love
The most important truth of all
Your words just divide us like walls
We fall like fools
In amongst the bullets and bombs
Now our sombre songs now fill your temples churches and mosques
Where we you hold God as an hostage for all to see
and hand him out on ...

beyond good and evil


I am the answer that lies in between the cracks of ying and yang
I am the song John Lennon sang
I am humanties only hope
for freedom without fear
what is truth
what is evil
what is good
can't you see the boundaries are blurred
can't you see beyond your own convulted words
love that doesn't acknowledge fear and hate
will only happen when we levitate
when we rise above the concepts of good...

BULLET

 

Fired from a barrel of a gun I make no distinction
between right and wrong
I tear through them both
I am like humanities extinction an act of hate condensed from all forms
Whether shot for reasons right or wrong
I will bring bloodshed and violence wherever I travel
I might start a war
End a life
I will always sow seeds of strife
But the real perpetuat...

The royal we 

We craft
We build
We bleed
We heal
We toil
We sow seeds in the soil

We love

We blurt out words that steal

We fill our purse

We give
We receive
We believe
We doubt
We can’t find a way out.

We think
We reason
We count
We can’t find the right amount

The anarchist in all of us
Wants to burn bras and slash pants
Doesn’t want humanity to be organised like a kingdom of ants

Wants to be obscene and dreams of swearing at the queen
Likes the sex pistols and punk
Wants to be a rebel and not to conform
And hates the norm

Wants to ban all religion except love and to be free
Wants to wrestle with the God above
and give the...

All words become me
They reflect what I feel
Sometimes I want to hide from them
and stem the tide of words
but outside my window the storm of words is brewing
and I am stewing inside.
outside the wind of words is breaking against my wall
outside phrases are hammering like rain against my window
eventually they will breakthrough the window and like lightening
they will flash out of my mouth.

Walking talking contradiction

 

Counter clockwise rhythm

has got you dancing to a different beat

your body and mind moves forward

while you heart and soul retreat

you talk small think big

while you dig your own grave

while trying to save others

you act like a superhero clown

while laughing crying and wearing a frown

people can’t tell whether yo...

Generation lost

 

I wasn’t born in generation X
I got lost well before we got to that letter
I wasn’t born a jet setter
I just make use of air travel
I find myself trying to find a reason
For my life somewhere between God and evolution
I think I will find the solution
In between trying not to get drunk with my mates
and getting a job that I can enjo...

Physical

 

Call me a dog

I don’t need a leash

Call me your ID capeche (understand)

I don’t need restraint

Do you really need to live your life like a saint?

You just need to give your body what it needs

Your desires need to be fore filled.

Then on to the next one

then on to the next one

I’ll take you from A-B

Stick with me

eat drink have sex and be merry

There is no poetic distance between me and this page

It is here I vent my love and my rage

I live and die by this pen from which I write

I catch sight of things I don’t normally see

and I find a clearer vision of me

I find empowerment from the force of creativity

in creating rhymes and verses from nothing

but ink and paper

they for now are my saviour

I gain insight

Can you look beyond the shallow?

To find a deeper meaning which is true.

Can you look beyond the shadows?

To find a philosophy for you

Can you find hope in times of madness?

to bring you through your despair

can you find strength and guidance

in the books over there

can you find faith

in actions good works and deeds done

can you find solace when the game is lost and not won

Antithesis

 

I am the silence when you are talking

When you travel by car I’ll be walking

When you are arguing I’ll be at peace

I’ll be the pages in the book you’ll be the crease

You’ll be the night I’ll be the star

Shining bright from afar

You’ll be the gun I’ll be the bird in flight

That you miss

You’ll be the punch I’ll be the kiss

You’ll be the heartache and I’ll be the bliss

There are days when we toy with innocence

There are days when wear despair as our clothes

Days when we truly open our eyes

Days when we want to keep them closed

Days when we have to restrain the pain from our hearts

and there are days when that pain departs

days when we feel loved in the morning when we wake

and days when we feel so far away from that love

that we just have to hold on and...

Warning!

 

a sensitive soul just entered onto the stage wearing something silly!

 

I am deadly serious don’t laugh at me

If you do

I’ll think you did it intentionally

To put me down

I am no clown

I wear a frown

I try to be macho

If you laugh I’ll try to catch you

Bring you down with a rugby tackle

After that laugh or that cackle

I am deadly serious

It wasn’t just a turn of phra...

I held you like a diamond in my hands

But you were sharp and cut me

And still I held you close even more

I would not be parted.

I bled and my hands were sore

But I wanted you to be close

You were so lovely and full of value in other-

people’s eyes

but my eyes were sore from tears

and the sighs from my lungs had grown heavy.

I had to let you go

I dropped you and you were gone

But I b...

Darwin’s daughter

 

She looks for a man with the best genes or genetics and aesthetics

Who has made millions or billions from being smart

She cares little for the poor she has no heart

She believes in euthanasia and in nazi led eugenics

She stands for capitalism for getting rich quick money is the saviour

She thinks religion is the opiate of the poor

and of no consequence to modern life

A computer virus called love!

 

 

 

Please wait…..

 

 

I am loading a virus onto your hard drive and your brain

Its called love and it’ll drive you insane

It’ll set fuse your megabytes together

all your wires will be set on fire

your keyboard keys will implode

your mouse will run off scared

fearing it might explode.

your monitor’s colours will go a funky shade of red or pink

The hourglass

 

Did you lose your spark to the everlasting dark?

Did you lose the light from your eyes,

in breathing those breathless sighs?

As the light in your heart dies

A painful disdain

begins to reign supreme

in the daydream that pretends to dream free

but ends with all the hellish glare of a nightmare

caught in the glimpsing cold stare of void sealed dreams

and themes of sadness ...

A big thankyou to all the people who commented last time!

here's a new one

Word play

 

Words are dancing across the page,

I guess they want to come out to play.

They are dancing the mambo, the tango, and the fandango

-to a disco beat

they are playing games with my feet.

Dancing through my fingers and toes

where they are off to nobody knows

dancing down the street I suppose,

To play ...
