The Angels watching Over Me Tonight.

Curled up in bed I cannot sleep tonight.

My eyes fixed on the little bit of light.

Hoping I don't hear creaking on the stairs.

And the light disappears and he is standing there.

I am praying he stays far out of sight.

I hope the angels are watching over me tonight.

Christmas Will Pass Them By.

We all gather around full of Christmas joy and cheer.

Preparing to celebrate the most selfish time of the year.

Obsessed by our own desires, wishes, greed’s and needs.

Sense of fulfilment and achievement we need to feed.

Cocooned within in our social and family bubbles.

Not giving a second thought to anyone else's troubles.

Anger. (Another Loving Day!!!)

Anger is such a painful damaging thing.

Tears and hurt is all it could ever bring.

I appear to have offended with no intent.

Has been met with real venom and dissent.

I have no answers for what she says.

Now the day has ended in a bad way.

I have not planned to do any of this.

To be back to normal is my only wish.

Santa Might Be Late.

The children are waiting in happy expectation.

Season of present giving once again is here.

Is it the present I want is the main question.

They might have to wait a bit longer this year.

With all the wine and sherry consumed last year.

Santa is still feeling the effects in his head.

He is not feeling in the mood for all that cheer.

Our Bench.

I sit on the bench we sat on.

On our treasured weekly walk.

I sit alone at one with nature.

As always it is to you, I talk.

I remember the dreams we had.

Sitting lovingly hand in hand.

Together with you by my side.

We would find the promised land.

It delivers to us peace and love.

Filling both our hearts with joy.

Pressure of Christmas.

It is that time again endless adverts and pressure from the telly,

 To emotionally blackmail you and ring you out of every penny.

Convincing you what you currently have is old and out of date,

implanting instructions in your mind they all need to be replaced.

Last year they were the best items ever to had been invented,

The Lunatics are On the Move.

We have sat for years and turned an ignorant blind eye.

Now we are closer than ever to paying the inevitable price.

Only defending out of greed, self-preservation and interest.

Sometimes creating unwarranted and unneeded conflict.

Claiming we have an automatic right for a place at the top table.

Oh, Happy Christmas Time.

The annual occasion of joy it's Christmas time.

Full of sentiments, hope, joy and silly rhymes.

Families gathering from far and wide.

To which the rules of harmony they must all abide.

A year of silence between them has gone by.

But now they all must wipe the tears from their eyes.

Brother, Sister, Auntie, Uncle, Mum and Dad.

Must ignore ...

Nothing Has Changed.

I would like to say I am one of the nation’s farmers.

Or a pinstripe suited businessman or city trader.

I would like to say I run a company or corporation.

That I will inherit a fortune from a friend or relation.

I would like to say i am in business and looking to expand.

That I create wealth and put it in the working man's hand.

On the Outside Looking In.

I am on the outside looking in.

Left wondering what could have been.

If I had been dealt a winning hand.

I could be wearing your wedding band.

The man you are holding in your arms.

Is the man who you he charmed.

He gives you everything I never could.

The reasons you left me I understood.

I can see you are in a very good space.

She Says Goodbye.

She held me tightly in her arms.

Strangely it felt surreal and very calm.

The sorrow was very clear in her eyes.

This was the day she would say goodbye.

The journey had finally come to an end.

No longer lovers possibly not even friends.

Her love overtime has slowly waned.

Where my love for her has gained.

Chains.

Nothing in life comes easy to me.

It is always a struggle to try and break free.

From the chains that hold me tight.

That further enhance my plight.

Everything I do just holds me down.

I can't smile I have a permanent frown.

To decide just like that.

Just bring me even more crap.

I think carefully before I do wrong.

The Children with No Voice.

We are the hidden children who have no voice.

Unable to the decide or make our own choice.

When we speak or shout, we are never heard.

Plain denial always with all our words.

We are all wards of the national state.

Placed in a so-called appropriate and safe place.

Where we should be nurtured and cared for.

Where we should feel we are pr...

Tough Decisions to Make.

The corrupt and dingy world of politics.

Tangled web of lies from the politicians’ lips.

Verbal lashing of the masters tongue.

The manipulation of our very young.

Headed words of the old wise man.

Political moves with a slight of hand.

Screams of fear and uncertainty in our ears.

No more longing for yesteryear.

As you close your eyes and start to dream.

Your problems appear to be a distant thing.

All the grey becomes very bright.

Butterflies that are free to roam.

People happy in their own homes.

Children smiling and acting like clowns.

The old man is lying uncomfortably in the hospital bed.

An array of odd, shaped pillows laying around his head.

Trying your best not to knock all the cables from the machines.

You sit down by him and quietly say hello.

He gazes at you but who you are he doesn't really know.

Fear of Love.

I love you and I really do care. 

I hear those words now and it makes me so scared.

How do you respond to the words you have always longed to hear, 

When at first hearing they just fill you with dreaded fear.

How do you know how to love if you have never been loved. 

Is love just a wishful feeling or a gift from above.

Is love a commitment to sharing wi...

Battle worn and hungry.

Fighting to save my homeland.

From the evil Russian man.

My world has been blown upside down.

Death and devastation all around.

And hatred is something I cannot understand.

I have pride running through my veins.

Until my last breath, I will defend Ukraine.

Lovers by each other’s side.

Hearts lit up by the awesome smiles.

The sun speaks as it shines bright.

We gaze into space not a cloud in sight.

I realise if the sun shines, we will be OK.

You might have heard about this before.

Ukraine and Russia are still at war.

They appear to have become the background news.

A nation still being persecuted and abused.

Invaded by their neighbour without provocation.

Inflicting untold horrors on an innocent nation.

Initially the world rallied and showed they cared.

Yet I find myself contemplating.

The turmoil in my mind is inflicting.

And. the confusion to me it is subjecting.

I feel my wires need to be reconnected.

So, my sanity can be protected.

A simple understanding is rejected.

Maybe my mind is just defective.

Don’t Dance To Everyone Else`s Tune

Why do we spend our life trying to please everyone else.

Concerned by the reaction of the neighbours next door.

As the hands rein down on me, I know somewhere inside she cares.

I know she has a lot of love to give but the anger is always there.

I can feel my mummy's love as my ears ring with a bout of insulting words.
