Snowman Xmas Rap

I goes by the name of frosty don’t you know

A cool snowman who is the star of the show

Hey happy seasonal people I got nowhere to go

I am stuck to the spot watching the festive glow

Just saw a reindeer fly across the night sky

Santa rocking by on a sleigh said yo ho ho ho hi

Three dudes going by the name of the wise men

Asked me the way to the town of Bethlehem

I looked up ...

You + Me = Destiny

I have fallen off my vertical axis,

Laying horizontal in my eternal plight,

Trapped in a virtual vortex triangle,

Blinded by the spectral prism light,

No need to be a primal alpha man,

Let me be your primary omega male,

I will rise like a total proud pyramid,

A simultaneous equation that cannot fail,

Wrapped around your dainty diameter,

Takes me into another ...

Romance Renaissance Resurrection

My mouth is open, but no breath flows,

Eyes are staring into space and I can’t blink,

This old heart of mine has stopped beating,

And my pulse is gone, I think,

My body is ice cold, pale and rigid,

I feel like I have been crucified,

I am critical and laying in the danger zone,

Something inside me has surely died,

My soul and spirit craves affection,

Lift me u...

Perfect Punk - Perfect Day

I was in a New York frame of mind

A perfect day under a skyscraper sky

Strolling down the dirty boulevard

Waiting for the man with pale blue eyes

Then little sister I heard a sad song

A street hassle vicious piece of news

A soul man with attitude has gone

Now I got the rock n roll animal blues

Sweet Jane  - Not a magic moment

White light white heat check out ...

Loveontheline

Standing on the platform in the pouring rain,

Waiting for the early morning train,

You are on my mind and in my heart,

The lights are on red while we are apart,

We have crashed off the tracks and derailed,

Shunted into a sidings as the points have failed,

Our carriage is empty - its sadness time,

We have gone and laid our loveontheline,

 

Let’s get our lives ...

By the Book

We were a novel couple with a story to tell,

Like a limited edition - cool and sophisticated,

If only we could have reviewed and resolved our issues,

We had a hard back love that made us elated,

I should have read between the lines,

It was written all over your face,

Whatever happened to our loving page?

Like a flimsy paperback we fell from grace,

Maybe we will b...

Fall Into Autumn

I wandered lonely as a scarecrow,

Braving the crisp October chill,

Watching over the fallow fields,

As the fleeting birds take their fill,

Feasting on fallen abandoned acorns,

In the shadow of a giant elegant oak,

On the horizon home fires are burning,

As a forest of chimneys bellow smoke,

My tattered old raincoat won’t let me down,

Stuffed with the warm gold...

World Mental Health Day – Thursday October 10th 2013

 

I am the one in four

A person you may never meet,

I am the one in four

And I live on your street,

Me I have got the blues

But nobody really cares,

You never get used to

The whispers and the stares,

 

Life is a struggle sometimes

But I know I must soldier on,

With a little help from my frie...

Morecambe View

I take an early morning stroll along the prom,

In the twilight hour as the birds burst into song,

My lungs take their fill of the clean fresh sea air,

As the sun begins to rise in a welcoming sky,

My mood is relaxed and I don’t have a care,

I cast my glance across the expansive bay,

The Lakeland hills give me inspiration,

At the breaking of a brand new day,

Zed

She zoomed into my zone,

Like a zany zebra,

While I zigzagged across her zodiac,

Like a zonked zombie,

With a zest and a zeal,

We zipped from zero to zenith,

And now forever dwell,

In our zen ziggurat,

Caressed by an eternal zephyr.

You & Me

There will never be another you and me,

All that is left is a fond and distant memory,

I try to reason why as tears run down my face,

My heart it aches as I contemplate our fall from grace,

The past caused us pain and the future disdain,

Whatever happened to here and now – I can’t explain,

We had a divine destiny and now it is a mystery,

There will never be another y...

Heat Wave Dream

Summertime, here I am waiting just for you,

Cloudy skies are making me feel oh so blue,

Summertime, capture me and steal my heart away,

Warm me with a golden ray of beautiful sunshiny day,

Summertime, knock on my door and hit me one more time,

Intoxicate me and fill my glass with dandelion wine,

Summertime on the streets and the living is so easy,

Give me all you got...

Empty Shell

I used to be so full of life,

Now I am just an empty shell,

My heart used to pound out loud,

Now it is silent like a broken bell,

I have been captured by the past,

The future has got me under its spell,

Whatever happened to here and now?

Each and every day is a living hell,

 

The lights are on but nobody is home,

My mind resembles a darkened crypt,

I ...

Eternal Embrace

I want to wrap my arms around you,

I need to hold you oh so tight,

Protect you through the darkness,

Until the early morning light,

Let me swim in your eyes of blue

And float down the river to your heart,

We are a union of body and mind,

Nothing will ever tear us apart, 

Let me run my fingers through your hair,

Kiss your beckoning lips with a passion, 

Ca...

She Shines On Me

When I gaze into her eyes the pain is so real,

They mirror her lifetime and all of the hurt,

The wounds are still open and refuse to heal,

Sad memories live on and will not desert,

She is as tough as titanium - she is pure steel,

The past still haunts her - that’s a dead cert,

She tries to be strong, but love she can’t feel,

Deep inside the scars run candid and curt,

Junkie 4 Love

I am wasted and all strung out,

Don’t have the voice to shout,

The lonesome blues have gotten to me,

I am hooked on you - can’t you see,

It’s an addiction - a terminal infection,

I need a shot of you - a lethal injection,

 

My slow burning fuse is about to ignite,

I just can’t find the strength to fight,

Climbing the walls as they close in,

It’s my punish...

Spring Has Sprung

In the fields lambs are a leaping and rabbits bounding,

March marches on and blossom engulfs the trees,

I wander amongst the snowdrops and tulips,

Daffodils fall at my feet as I am refreshed by the breeze,

A shower turns to a snow flurry and rains down on me,

The weather is definitely confused.com and so am I,

Umbrellas at the ready is the order of the day,

Splashing...

Tea Total Infusion

Wake me up with your peppermint smile,

Tempt me with your Jasmine perfume,

Keemun and arouse me Japanese Cherry,

Delight me Rose Hip - make me swoon,

I am very green and a bit of a lemon,

My Oolong Silver Tip will dance to your tune,

Take a look at my Nilgiri Broken Orange Pekoe,

Assam beguiled by you Lapsang Souchong,

Berry Sextet take me to your Russian Caravan...

Let's Get Fruity

 

You are the apple of my eye,

I may be a wrinkled old prune,

But I am a chunky pineapple guy,

Going to be your top banana soon,

 

You sometimes are a prickly Pear,

And treat me like a raspberry fool,

I know that life isn’t a bowl of cherries,

But I’m your kiwi – oh so cool,

 

You are as pretty as a peach,

A lovely strawberry surprise,

A melon...

Cereal Killer

Kevin Cornflake sauntered up to the bar

Everything fell silent in the saloon,

The bartender produced a bottle of bourbon

It was a sweltering day at high noon,

The Weetabix twins looked nervous

Karl Coco Pop’s eyes darted to and fro,

Peter Porridge gazed up from his cards

Shaun shredded wheat was about to blow,

 

A wagon screeched to a halt on Main Street,

Hole In My Heart

 

I had a beautiful vision in full bloom,

It exploded into brilliant life,

When you glided into the room,

Your sea blue eyes were hypnotic,

And your dazzling smile made me swoon,

You washed over me like a tidal wave,

And left an ocean of tears in my soul,

Now I am spinning out of control,

Maybe we were doomed from the start,

Love has gone and shot me down...
