If I scratch the surface,

would I find an itch?

or would I find a chasm

corroded by a bitch

either them be true 

my conscience it doth say

just stick a plaster on it

we'll look another day

He be the salt in the ocean, a fowl taste and stink

shallow bastards everywhere, nor a drop to drink

transparency the sail, a wind doth blow a sway

It out the feared fiend, at last gave him away

look to the port, fir ye may get caught

ye drown in a lake of sorrow, fir a friend he can be bought

Whence set foot on terra firma, chastise yir other hand,

I hate Christmas, I scream and panic

my timings off, swearing satanic

when everyone is up, I bring them down

curse over the turkey and wearing a frown

burn my thumb, cut my finger, best left alone

why do they linger?

once upon a time where I would cope,

there's no chance of that I'm left without hope

then once it's served with a swagger and a sniggle

Pigs in blankets, sa...

A weakened soul replicates an owl 

concerned this delicate branch will fail

lay still, perturbed to retrace

today's shift a far off place

eventually will arrive in its own time 

if one awakens to save face

A constant sorrow known too well

frequently isolated constant spell

not to mention that fateful word

down in the dungeon unheard

way down where the brave men g...

Autumn is here,

once again my garden is covered in leaves, you see it's surrounded by trees,

every November I pick them up,

every November I pick them up, 

every November I pick them up,

I could have been a singer, a roofer, I could have been the man fixing your computer, but that damn garden is covered in leaves, so I better go and pick them up, while I'm down on my luck

Curb your enthusiasm 

how dull is a wrench

silver sparkle within the black

relieve the pressure off his back

rusty cart requires oil, a ponies last trek

closed yet spirits remain on the track

Curb your enthusiasm

how dark a town be

kept alive with death, no returning muscle

white skin, a shower put in 

vegetable soup, you're off the grisle

Write not to be judged, written not for you

write for the way you feel,  an answer is not due

who cares if it's not liked for its point of view

poetically nonsensical, grammar is a stew

do not write for poets crap

rhythmical and true

write with honest hearts content

write only for you

I wish no harm, an unbearable pain 

tearing at my sanity, emotionally inept

overwrought with compassion

holding normality together 

tragically silent in suffering

while the world suffers hate

weeping without showing

shut the fucking gate

Please shut the fucking gate

Plea's screaming unheard

my heart suffers deep

I cannot change the circumstance

The sound of a baby crying

baaing of a sheep

gentle sound of snoring while

you lay asleep

A rustle in the treetops

thundering of the rain

whistle in the chillin' wind

cuts through me once again

Darkness is a torture

as if I were but blind

exhilarating journey 

of a hazardous kind

The hooting of an owl

a Squealing of a bat

I catch a glimpse of the moon
Shimmering across the almost still lake
Ripples ride the surface 
of the Blackened water
spreading the light across it
As if it were my lord
spreading the good news 
Far and wide from an alter

on and on the ripples unravel
Until they reach the trees 
Hanging from the meadow
Resting to a sudden end 
at the hardened gravel
No more will the blackened water...

'twas the season of gold where all men grow old and trees lose their leaves in a day
woods do sound weary with damp at their feet, creaking and groaning till may

Hedgehogs bed down into a slumber with a collection of grubs by their s...

Though I forget not, the least I can give

succumbed to the moment of loved ones distress, I weep with heart fullness address.

Every son blindly into war, courageous at a score, death doth not become a pure boys heart, he never so young was meant to depart.

Adorn a poppy not for the pleasure of conflict, nor for the conflict of pleasure, nor for the worth of having a measure. Ado...

1935 when you were born,

like a fall from grace, you captured us all.

you loved everyone, everyone loved you,

precious as a child, sensitive and brave, Doodle bugs dropping wave after wave, you got me through when I heard King Creole, I had a clean home not a shit hole.

The Angels were singing 'Love me tender' when you went with God to his big wide home, you could be peaceful in the va...

He sits quietly looking through the window, knowing everything that is going on, not being able to talk or sing a song
He cannot move a muscle or even twitch, cannot move his hands to scratch an itch
He just sits in his chair with a melancholy stare relying on someone to clean him bare
feeling humiliation from insensitivity, roughly handled while carer's watch TV. 
Crying without tears carryin...

I write to the moonlight, I write to the stars, 

I write about sorrow, I write about scars, 

I write when I'm happy, I write when I'm sad,

I write about feelings that drive me half mad,

most of all I write to be me, 

to travel to places, set my life free

I write to Christians, aethiests and Jews,

Consistently write the wrong words to you

the featureless face hides a mannequ...

Witness the intensity of planets this week

perception of a highway to heaven

Path to the earth, distant from the moon

destination to the stars, elapse too soon

"step up, step up" each person see

a serendipitous shift in ones destiny

Blackness' o'er the ground and wide

ubiquitous, far-reaching, sound

content to shred the fear to hide

bloodened is the stain abound

I live, work, breathe, go through the motions, unnequivocally unchanging 

on the narrow path tiresomely steep

yet I'm  always asleep when I weep

rattled by the things I see and hear

almost an inclusion, a sight 

a narrow corridor, a peep

most people are confoundly irritated when I am around, perhaps that's why I'm always asleep when I weep

I've heard it before absorb...

Soggy vegetables, worn out shoes

detestable conditions the air is dry,

cockroaches;crunching sound on polystyrene tiles, 

damp squalid walls

dust in the lungs of a perpetual youth,

moulded rice cakes,

mucused slime of trailed slugs suggesting a pattern, 

concrete cancer in towers,

performance without an audience

written with a broken heart

words of love that may have gone

though never meant to part

gregarious in his nature

with a Hidden depth 

articulated feelings, from a soul inept

humility as a warning

sentences on a page

conceptual with the detail

affectation into rage

She was taken in by his deceivable charm

richly dressed ingratiating smarm

contaminated with a sourceful skill

honeyed voice, physique to kill

If the premonition were perceived at word

the corruptible girl should have heard 

Her body found in the woods of old

statuesquely silent, ungraciously cold

no noticeable bruises, no reason or rhyme

An awkward end a deliberate lie

forcing a bid to ask the question...why?

tattered, shred, a worn out bed

Obliviously blind

must be soft in the head!

The cheese has turned a revolting smell

inside the corpse holds a rotting shell 

half a bottle of corked valpollicella 

fragments on the carpet,

I could not tell her

shattered, whimsical to the end

a broken glass ...

It was a fear that held you so near

so petrified to not be with you 

an aching heart that needed your love so

You were a butterfly trapped whole. between the pages of a pressed book

dying quickly with no glancing look

Soft to the touch a delicate silkiness of your skin, beautiful by chance a pride of your kin, our eyes met a hypnotic trance caught in a whirlwind trapped in a da...

The depth of it I don't understand

Controlling every thought within my brain

Paranoia from a sense of doom

Sometimes high, most of the time low

Never mind if it's all the same

I'll go back and start again

I see the corruption in every twist

A negative thought and a haloed kiss

The feeling good, over to soon

The sun has gone it's dark, sad

Never had I witnessed such pure beauty looking across the room at you I saw.

A spiritual awareness of love my heart it doth flutter lightly, a choir of people in a large hall disintegrate into insignificance, 

the wall shrank to become a narrow corridor of you and I breaching the exceptional audible volume of loud chattering and music, we become lovers in an instant, I could feel you breathe...

Howling at the moon

late in the night 

claws reaching out in a sensational fright

face ripping, bone from the skull

gnashing teeth, a fearful fight

torso stretched beyond humanity

a scary sight for all to see 

Tasting flesh for the very first time

enjoying the taste and drinking the wine

sensational hunger never feel full

rip out the innards and eat them all

Offices and factories shut their doors

Thousands lose jobs through redundancy clause

Although there's still enough money left for the machines that go to war.

Families struggle to survive

it leaves the population sore

But There's still enough money left for the m...

Truman light ale methodically pumped into a glass, whisky at 1/6th of a Gill always politely passed,

Yet this quaint little pub on the corner had a secret in its past

Painted deep blue colour on the window pane, sign above the door that says please come again
