My Voice
My Voice
I have been silenced for so long
I do not know my own voice
All I hear
Are your words.
Your condemnations
Your judgements
Your lies.
I see your glance
Haughty
Better than everyone else.
Only
You aren’t.
You are hiding behind fear
That controls you
And all you do
Keeping me in check
mate
In case I discover my voice
And us...

Wake the Woke
It is always easy
to think that we could
do better than our parents,
until we are one.
It is always easy
to think that we would
be kinder than others were
without knowing their struggle.
It is always easy
to accept current propaganda
as certainty
until we have
identified with another culture.
It is always easy
to condemn our historical figures
with 20/20 vision
from the safe ...

We are love-starved people
always search for and struggle

No matter what you seek to say
Your eyes always give you away.
No matter how you play your role
Your eyes are the window to your soul.
Maybe you should avoid my gaze
When you involve me in your plays
Of make-believe and innocence -
In shadow-sway of sweet pretence.
Even when you lower your lashes
I seem to see those deceitful flashes;
So now sense says that we should ...

Having moved, by buses, up the hill from Salford to Bury
(To be within walk of new work, again),
These stimuli surround, between my abode and the factory,
As I follow the sun - its wax, its wane:
Walking toward work and the rising sun, a morning chorus
Rides the crisp breezy air of hill-farmland,
While gravel, of road and path, b...

When My Heart Starts Dancing
Photographs can find lost connections instead I put my record player on.
Certain favourite songs
rhythm takes flight
full volume on

records slot time
back into place
feelings stacked ready
to relive love
when music returns

Surrender Not An Option | When Cold Nights Just Got Better | Giving Something Back | That Certain Twinkle in His Eye |Losing It
I know of old people
who lose their hearing
and lose their bearings
who lose their glasses
and lose their car keys
who lose their balance
and lose their sharpness
and can't remember
half the time
I know of them
because I have heard stories
none of which applies to me
I just heard stories.

I ate some strange old mushrooms
Got chased off a shark
It jumped outta my beer bottle
And began to bark
I ran through a dying mist
And into a wall
Then into the deepest sleep
I began to fall.
Into strawberry Fields
With lemon drizzle streams
And coconut shells
Full of incoherent dreams
Oh

Elijah was walking back with iced tea he got from the store,
But he “looked sketchy” so the police arrested him and threw him to the floor.
They placed him in a carotid hold until he could not breathe anymore,
Which led to his heart attack and he later died from all the suffering he endured.
So we played violins for him hoping he would play with us from heaven.

There is no ultimate height to be reached

Born of poverty, to a working class that knew no favours, forged in the fire of our troubled teens,

Paupers in terms of material riches, and yet, you and I brother were destined to be, “kings,”
