Farther than father can be
Farther than father can be
Don’t call him my father
I don’t have one
Never want one!
Takes more than your indiscretion
Poor judgement
Lack of backbone
Your desolation of hope
To name ‘that’ my father
How could you?
Why would you?
Fathers are a fairy tale
A sick joke
Alive in books
The stuff ‘dreams’ are made of
Delusions, illusions
Like Santa Claus and the tooth fairy...

I just want a dog! |You must find another
by Phil Golding
I hate what I am doing to you,
trying to get you to hate me.
A map continues to elude my grasp,
bringing us to the same yearned for moment in time.
What I am going to say, rips my still beating heart from my chest.
All air is driven from my lungs, through my lips, as they part, saying,
“You should leave me, find another!”
I feel so depressed and low saying that,

New Poem: 'Split ends'
Split ends
The moon hangs like a yelmun segment,
over Glastonburic fairy lights.
This is always so hard to do.
Bump, bump. Rattle
A small hand twists my stomach.
Neon, sodium and xenon flies by.
I see nothing.
I think only of her.
Her smile,
her eyes.
Her full luxurious locks.
Dark skin and dark eyes.
Dark outside.
Dark is my mood.
We rattle and roll, twist and climb
up hills,...

Wrong Name
My little girl, as she was
Riding a pair of shoulders.
Frozen in a shutter lens wink.
Blink and there gone, time runs on.
A snap that caught a snippet of life.
Wrapped, riding hooded in a red blanket,
Shrouded in mystery
Amidst the snowflakes, each one unique.
Looking back at the lens
All innocence and ambivalence.

He sits, a painted smile upon his face,
Failing to hide his discomfort in his own skin;
The makeup feels like just another mask,
But the tears are real.
A hat and cane lie, discarded by his feet,
The former crumpled, the latter broken.
He forsakes his act,
The jovial nature,
Ever smiling face,
The bringer of joy.
Forever, finished with the young.
As the wrinkles swallow the makeup...

Chaos of dreams
crash into my mind

trying to drown my worries out,
but each day comes

They rest now, touch-toe-still in molasses,
And those that didn't make it are trapped behind thick Buddy Holly frames.

THE BEST
LAID PLANS O’ MEN AND TULPAS
Now here’s
a tale, of men and mice
(Though
which is which I leave to you)
Whose
aliases must suffice
(And sadly
must their motives too).
It happened
one cold winter’s night
When snow
lay thick upon the hills,
When Spain is hot and Scotland’s white
And all is
quiet around the stills....

A poem | Me in someone else's poem |FFS
by mr stephen
So, this time, Coventry. Off I trot, all the way there, find somewhere to park, only to find that The Tin Angel was .... closed. Closed, dark, gated at door and windows.
Hmmm.
Hmmm.

A Walk in the Park
This park is bare to my eyes.
Dirty, grey slide. Absent.
It is without a rackety, clackety roundabout
And with no metal frame to climb-
This park is dangle-free.
I blame government under funding
And probably Health and Safety.
But you don’t care.
It’s a beautiful, frosticle day.
Muffled and duffled, you trip along,
Reindeer nose juxtaposed
With green winter coat,
Bronze curls...

New Arrival |Saturday Sally
Robert was rigid,
the rule book his ruler.
Relations with clients
were sometimes strained.
They didn't know
his panties were pretty
Lacy and small
so tight on his dickie.
His pinstripes were perfect,
his tie straight and trim.
No one would think
of challenging him,
but on Saturday he was Sally.
Robert was cross
when staff were too sloppy.
He could be stern
and terribly stropp...

Mothers Day
by june slater
She sat in her arm chair with freshly made tea and toast
She kept looking out of the window as far as the gate post
She watched as cars came and went
Wondering if one would stop, pulling up by her fence
Another Mothers day had arrived
Yet she has tear drops in her eyes
Have they remembered that this day is truely hers
Her babies are no more, sons and daughter
All grown up and left her sid...

Helpless
by Carol Falaki
Helpless
Enough hard truths and promises
Hugs and kisses stained with secret regret
And interrupted eye contact
You wobble between parallel worlds
Clutching, afraid to let go
When letting go will send you crashing into fact,
And in your dreams
Weave thin stories
Around the lie of your fabricated life
Paying your way with excuses
Existing in a haze of hope
And despair
When realit...
