Black clouds
by Ian Devine
Living under this black cloud
I spend my time writing
Staying away from the crowd
You could say
I'm stuck in the circle
No beginning there is no end
One day is clear and clam
The next Black clouds are back again
I keep getting lost in these moments
Its nothing clever its nothing new
Takes me to places ware
Only the brave only the fool
Dare tread and enter
My d...

Luna Eclipse....
by Ian Devine
A luna eclipse I witnessed
Freezing cold morning minus seven, well below zero
Ipod on feeling chilled , well mellow
The moon just catches my eye
Nothing but the moon and I
As I look and ponder
The awesome spectacle unfolds
A natural wonder
The moon slips behind its veil of shadow
Time slows, transforms liquefies into limbo
Just before...

Just Words
by Ian Devine
Domes of light crack the leaden sky
Looks like a photo of daze gone by
Angelic voices ring out so clear
Ever closer they draw near
Reflections, twisted, distorted
Mind and soul else ware transported
Floating weightless going with the flow
Freezing cold well below zero
Following distant faint echo's
I shout but get no resp...

American Man..
by Ian Devine
He drank wine and smoked a few telling me how his life spanned
White beard and wisdom both gained over time
I wish i had a life time to get to know this guy..
One fleeting connection may be never again
But who knows,
What
Why
Or even when
I hope that someday I'll meet the american man again....
For Roger..

State of mind
by Ian Devine
Then gone in the wind
My journey just finished
Then it starts over again
The road stretches as far
as i can see
There's always somewhere
where i'd rather be
Is not you or i
or even them
Its the state of my mind
when i write a poem
The road seems call
Call out my name
Pack my bag and I

I wonder I sing I laugh and I s...

You Go There (song)
by Ian Devine
You knew this from the very start
But you go there, You go there
You walk right in with eyes wide shut
All that's left are what ifs and buts
But you go there, you go there
Loves a funny sort of thing < (Ch. 1)
You don't what joy it can bring
Until you go there
Until you go there
I've been here many times before
I'll be co...

Over and Out

Over and over I pick at every thread
Over and over I can't let it go
Over and over A constant Mojo
Over and over Ash's to ash
Over and over FLASH
What waits on the other side
I don't know what i'll find
Maybe heaven Maybe hell
That's it !!!! in a nutshell
Onwards into the grate unknown

Drink Drink Drink Some More (song)
by Ian Devine
He drank himself dead in the end
Hurt no one but himself
Drank only from the top shelf
He Swilled it down from dawn until dusk
A bottle a day was his must
The last words that he said to me
I remember them so vividly
He said them with meaning and with clarity
He said
Drink drink drink some more
Drink drink until your on the floor

Drama and Crises
by Ian Devine
When i'm up i spread it around
When i'm down i'm out of bounds
I'm looking for the level ground
I Try,i try it can not be found
I try to walk through life like a breeze
But all i get is DRAMA and CRISES
Its a matter of highs and lows
How i cope god only knows
One day i'll find the middle
I'll get to grips with this riddle...

Make it go Away
by Ian Devine
Bright eyes open, see it all unfold
Deep blue and innocent
Innocence's fades to dust
I can't make it go away
The things that i say
Please, Please make it go away
My thoughts drift down life's highways
Eyes gazing, watching time slip by
Its different now, but still the same
Eyes spanning the vast void of time
Opening doors i...

Into You (song) By Dave Haze & Ian Devine
by Ian Devine
I'll say i love you a million times more
You can choose to ignore it. Or,
Let the words, sink in Deep
Work their magic, and seep
Into you
Baby there's only you and i in my world
I know it sounds crazy and a little absurd
I'm not saying nothing you never heard. But,

Yesterday went on and on (song)

Think its all because of you
Yesterday i was so down
I'd give anything
to have you round
Yesterday nothing went right
It was such a awful fight
Yesterday i was so sad
God it drove me raving mad
All i saw started to fall
Its hard for me to stay on the ball
Everything's going in slow motion
Its like i've drunk some magic potion...

Walked rite on blind inside to a

Get it straight in your head
But you only hear what
You want to hear
And ignore all the rest

Its the truth, bare bones
Its the truth, a millstone
Its the truth, the unknown
Its the truth, we face alone
I've told you this before
I'll never close my door
I stretch my hand to you
I'll do what you want me too

Hoping for a glimpse a little peek

Of our vast Beautiful Universe

This is the place i grew, had my fun

My future now shadowed, unclear
I leave this town with heavy heart
But now is the time for me to depart
I will not return

I want to help you brother but i don't think i can
My words make it far far worse

It fits you like a glove
You love the life you live
Then you know you can forgive
Sometimes you've got to let it all go
Scream shout let it all flow
Reach out and grab someone you know

My eyes have turned shades of grey
My tears have washed the blueness away

I miss you more than my words can say
Now your lights have faded out

The price i've paid a heavy one

My Life (A brush with evil) Part 2
by Ian Devine
pretty as can be
But only on the surface
she was evil underneath
So full of hate
never did know why
Everything she touches
withers and dies
When i said i was leaving
you crumbled to the floor
Looked at you there weeping
thinking you had all this in store
Eleven Years as past
She still hasn't moved on
One day she'll look back
and wonder ware her life...

My life (AGood Start) Part 1

with nothing but my self
Written off by Bastards
and thrown on the shelf
They gave me a number
then a line i was shown
That was Thatcher's BRITAIN
And i was on the dole
I was the One in TEN
with no prospect
That's what they made me
what the fuk did they expect
Life seemed so pointless
Just a number on list
That was my start in life
That takes the PISS....

Summer side of life is ware we meet

Same old roundabouts and then back again
Familiar routines, my lucky pick, superstitious nonsense

I look up at the sun
The day as just begun,

The darkness creeps rite on in
Thoughts running, through my mind
Circles, then repeats all in good time
Its cold,

suspended in time
Voices, choices, pathways
Roads to roam, no way home
I'm wired, i'm fired, so tired
But the voices carry on
I'm shouting, i'm drowning, in this silence
I'm fading away

Always in my head
Can't take back all

This awful feeling
of ALONE
My cup overflowed
Now its run dry
The words that was spoken
Cannot be Untied

One line leads to the next
Time folds, space in flecks
Stagger in about Five
My head is still alive
Drugs pump to my brain
I've got to learn to abstain
Can't find no sleep again
Its just starting to rain
Flash's of memories
I really don't want to see

Alone in the pitch black night

Slowly, slowly i'm slipping under
I can here a delicate sound of thunder
A broken heart

Time ticks away

I still see your smiles
We drove for miles and miles

Until we'll meet again
Don't know ware
Don't Know when, but

Again and again
I still here your laugh
