I've a yearning,

a burning need inside,

it knows nothing of limits,

and has no need of pride,

but drives me on with a tempo,

such a tempo, that will never be denied.

Can you reach and help me,

take a grip on this beat within,

it knows nothing of limits,

and cannot conceive of sin,

but drives me on with its tempo,

such a tempo, and so livel...

Munee, munee, munee - that was their only cry

Shallow, shallow, shallow - they'll never touch the sky

"Gimmee a footballer wiva hunky wad, that'll make me smile",

Listen to them in the clubs, poles apart with their pseudo guile.

What hope for the future were we all to choose that path,

looking out for number one only - don't make me laugh,

for that's the sure...

Unity

When We Share

Assimilate, but don't imitate,

absorb the goodness that you see,

rejecting all the bad ways of hate,

assured we can do better if we only try.

Let us live within each others eyes,

see the world as one united soul,

never more to clash with futile sighs,

for we can do so much better as a whole...

Move ever forward into clear days of hope,

trust...

No End To The Show

When the wind swept the path, all the leaves took a chance,

some were dropped in the pool, whilst others spun in a trance.

For some time were we entertained, then the rain had it's say,

so those droplets of pure sparkle, brought an end to the ballet...

But a light show was to follow, as the sun broke the cloud,

and the rainbow's bright curves made us all gasp out...

Stacy's Mum

She had never felt so lonely before,

was there no news yet, she'd a need to be sure,

waiting as time so reluctant tocked by,

like a lost child she sat and wondered why...

The surgeons were busy giving their all,

a broken hip to mend, such a task isn't small,

three hours they had said would see them done,

all the while she sat and thought of her mum...

Our Blanket beneath The Stars

Read and leave comments (4)

Come crawl into my mind tonight,

invade my dreamscape with your scent,

bring some candles and some sweet warm oils

and cool, cool drinks for when we're spent.

We'll take a path through deepest woods

and spread our blanket beneath the stars

that twinkle gently as the canopy sways,

and contemplate how love moves up on Mars.

In our dreams we'll sha...

No Jobs For A Man

Read and leave comments (4)

I was the seventh child in a family of four,

the second born, do I need to say more?

Well perhaps I should fill in a few gaps,

or you could remain confused perhaps...

Yes I was the second boy born to my mother,

five girls came before me I did discover,

four boys in all were to follow my dad,

down to the dole queue, no jobs to be had.

No Jobs...

Stars Would Gladly Cast Their Gleam

Read and leave comments (2)

My acheing mind and heart would gladly will you here,

across those cruel distances that do divide us dear,

and then beside me I would keep you for ever more,

and daily stroll with you upon the glistening shore.

Harsh words would have no place for us at all,

our deep soul bonds would be the strongest call,

and every night our stars would gladly cast their glea...

Yearning

The Mortal Shore

Does it really matter if I survive the day or not?

Would the planet lose some balance if I were to be shot?

The tiny changes that might follow when I do depart,

are not sufficient for most to note the silencing of my heart,

But yet I say to all who care to look around and see,

the value of every life on earth is just the same to me,

though some deserve a gre...

I Miss You

Read and leave comments (3)

I miss you when the sun shines

for you're not seen beneath it's glow

I miss you when the phone rings

and your name is not on show,

I miss you every evening,

when I rest my weary head,

I miss you every day since you've

not been beside me in my bed.

Yes I miss you for the world

has now turned so many times,

Yes I miss you when my mind aches

The Depths Of Love - V2

The great power of love is not in the mind,
but deep in our hearts which can ache muchly sometimes.
The passions we feel are beyond thought to control,
some say it's our hormones, some say it's the soul.

To only live in the shallows without loves warm glow,
is to be beached like a whale with nowhere to go,
the depths may bring some sorrows and pain on the way,
yet we all get th...

Over Fence Noise

They could never rival Miss Marples,

for they've no clue just how to use clues,

instead they use stale old presumptions,

that make it so hard to walk in their shoes.

All good sleuths need a portion of insight,

and a fresh approach to viewing the facts,

otherwise they will never rival the weakest,

of all those tired old Fleet Street hacks.

The Very First Time

She asked me for a kiss,

I had to tell her no not yet,

for I'm a little shy still,

but please don't get upset.

She asked me for a cuddle,

I said perhaps another day,

for I got splashed in a big puddle,

when some dog ran past my way.

She said "Well I can come in,

and wait while you clean up,

then maybe put the kettle on,

for I know I'...

Quorellimus Quoragg

Quorellimus Quoragg had a mind to travel,

so he sought new frontiers wearing strange apparel,

attire that he had designed just for himself,

so you won't find some similar upon any shelf.

His aim was clear, well maybe just to him,

as he worked on his plans he couldn't help but grin,

he felt for sure that he would break new ground,

his theories he thought...

She Sang...

They loved the soft, sultry movements that she made,

each one an embellishment that she did proudly parade,

left and right across the makeshift stage she went,

sending out smiles and kisses to the boys they'd sent,

each one on a mission to free those war had oppressed,

but just for those moments, they were not distressed...

She sang all the songs that tugged ...

While They Scam...

They tell me this

They tell me that

I view it all

Then answer back

Everything is true they say

I'm sure they're sincere

And so I do it all each day

As I believe all that I hear

Or maybe not

As they will find

For the bait they've got

Is the sinking kind

So while they scam

And waste their time

I report the spam

My Head Hurts... ;)

My head hurts, it is so very far from nice

My head hurts, I've tried pills and heat and ice

But no ease comes from their application,

will it ever leave without my suffocation?

My head hurts, it's been going on for years,

My head hurts, did I say it leads to tears?

Just when I think that they've found a cure,

the pain returns again so I can be...

The Borders Of Mankind

The borders of mankind are not those we see drawn on maps

but simply the limits of our travel and any accompanying mishaps.

For many centuries that has meant the globe we have spread across

but now other planets we do seek to venture onto without loss

As mankind seeks a better way to travel on through space,

perhaps he will then remember we are all one human race...
