Covid hit hard

Strangers and families in the backyard

Distant figures sharing pints

One of many rare sights

"Only those that lost still remember"

Painful deaths lost to the never

A different dimension for most

Yet the ghosts that linger are loved the most

Will you speak of it?

In schools, clubs and gatherings just a bit?

Not a word refering to it can be spok...

This is a room for all of our guests

A room for you to look your best

A place for intrigue and thoughts so heavy

And a place where you can spend a penny

It's a shared space intended for all

Not to tumble, roll or accidentally fall

But to take a moment, speculate and recall

But also a place you might withdrawl

A time out from a stressful day

To find the words yo...

Ever still am I

Where freedom swells, breaks and lies

Lost in a room of my own making

My frantic mind unabaiting

The key holder to a door with no lock

This time it is I who is out of luck

Thoughts sway and dwell upon the question

Staring at the whitewash in my mission

Could hell really be so pale?

The body and mind eager-eyed in a chess match

Sweating as the need...

The lair is set

The mouths are wet

Dripping from an acid tounge

While whipping bile from a mile

Down the corridor

Words are whispered and murmuered

Plotting, scheming, stoking the fire

Such dangerous tounges should not be hired

Far away, in the Hive is where they thrive

Eloping from the danger of what's to come

Team splitting is a speciality

If only they ...

It must be time to get up

Any excuse to fill my cup

To get out of this chair

To take in some different air

The mechanisms are tense

Cornea, Iris and the lens

Focused and sharp

Like a razor to a harp

Capturing images, light and perusing

Peering across a radient sunset, percieving or sewing

Better to be absent minded staring into distance

Than screens burni...

The cool wind soothes an over-heated heart

Like snow on a melting glacier

As sticks bloom with green

The dark fades into light

Winters' chill brings blankets and cosy times

Films stretch long like a lazy rhyme

Bereft of qaulity like a poorly planned crime 

But, more to the point, is the 'family time'

Daffodils warm in sunlight

Animals venture as Birds' fly

T...

Sitting alone in a chair not a throne

Ideas spewing like ooze under a city

Spinning a web, a line and a ditty

Yet still alone

Offering everything to give

Somethings just got to give

Yet unreciprocated

To be unmet and unloved

Forward thinking but sinking all the same

Life's but a ruin if left untamed

An endevour to help, exuding calm

But there's no answer,...

Silent echoes

Haunting, teasing the light dust

Transparent and illuminating

The dark parts of your soul's lust

Squirming to hide

Robust and on stride

The echoes surround you

The full version, not the 'abridged' you

Caring is to linger amongst the light

Present and moving, not to right

It's apparentness is bathed in fright

An escape to nowhere in the night

She is chic

She is peak

She is the way you ought to speak

For she is Glandma

She has kids who have kids

But she doesn't let that put her in the skids

She is the glamourous grandma

She is Glandma

She is rich and wealthy in knowledge

She has an enviable beautiful heritage

She doesn't care about grammar

For she is Glandma

You'll take her bins out and...

Struck again but not struck off

What I'm looking for is some real time off

Most creatures search for peace

But what I want is to be left alone in peices

That impact was a pitiful graze leaving me in dissaray

But still alive am I, to my dismay

Many lives have I now lived, first human, now to this

A never ending cycle of living unless I can get one last hit

What did...

"It's all elbows tonight!', my mind says at the sight

Not since the 90s has there been such a fight

For drink holders and the resting of arms in the dark of night

The pictures snap into view as elbows fight for the right

I suppose the fear of breath made it uneasy

For elbows to flex, bend and get lazy

The memories of a full cinema are dusty

Like a giant unscrupulous screw...

Ruin, destruction, fire and fear

Now I know why they ran from here

The wounded and the dying lay under ground

Undergrowth in abundance spreading all around

Fizzing and whirring through the air, it gets closer and closer to end your fear

Mounds that were cities, ash that were people melt into snow

The seasons are two, left tattered and strewn

In this apocolyptic sight...

Words fall hard from the man on top of the hill

Spilling and oosing from a makeshift bill

67 dead to start the day

And before the grief, what does he say?

EDI must somehow be blamed

"because I have common sense"?

Where is my border fence?

It's the only way to be safe and secure from this madness

The lies, deciet, and the ultimate sadness

67 grieving families lost

The greatest show on television

A patchwork quilt with such great vision

From black and white to colour

A cancelled show to fans fervor 

Saved for another day 

On the big screen in another way

Bigger bolder and braver

With a new ship to savour

Multiple shows to follow

With Gene's loss and fan's sorrow

The big bird took flight into the night

Leaving us hop...

Fostering fools in radiant light

Scrabbling screws in a frightened night

Awkward apparitions abolish and bait

All with an askewed, vitrioled hate

Bismark and Bottony all the day

Sundried and kissed all the way

On course with treason

Regardless of reason

An emptied mind on paper thin

Asked and answered in a screw-top tin

Scheduled and pranced on a pin heads nose

Across a road, a tranquil sight

Where animals graze to a shepherds delight

In the warm glow of a spring's dawn

A summer's heat is soon to be born

But across this tranquil hill

Is where the "looney's" roam and madness spills

Torn from family's and lost to war

Their minds scream through a padded door

Nurses rush to aid the wounded

Thrashing and yelling - who woul...

Toys, mugs and letters dress this stoney garden

In lines that would not impress a cold, gnarled sargent

Stones stagger around like crooked teeth

Adorned with names, chocolates and festive wreaths

The view is long, sprawling forever

Lost but knowing in its endevour

The living are still, smiling through their solemness 

Clutching Birthday cards with Christmas sadness
