Life (Remove filter)
The day she found herself
Breaking all the shackles
Throwing away all the chains
that were holding her
she finally got rid of the pain
She drew strength
just from within
that was the day she found herself
and realized chasing dreams was not a sin
Pleasing everyone
was not her wish anymore
focusing on herself
became her aim of soul
It was very taxing
To identify her tr...

It's Easier to Believe
It's easier to believe
I am a child of the most high God
than to live a life of despair.
It's easier to believe
everything happens for a reason
than to question fate.
It's easier to believe
love is everywhere
than to give in to hate.
It's easier to believe
in forgiveness
than remain a victim.
It's easier to believe
in abundant blessings
than mounting problems.
It's easier ...

Dear Santa,
Dear Santa,
I've been extra good this year
All I want is a cure for my
rare brain disease because
see Santa I was given this
disease before I left my
mothers womb so long
ago now
But life since that time has
been up and down daily like
a rocking roller coaster riding
throughout a non-stoppable
hurricane that is enough to
drive one ...

Cunt
A word underused
A word that’s abused
So small, yet a powerful beckoning of call
A word remembered by all.
What makes me laugh
When fighting in a brawl
Is the fact the speaker doesn’t understand
That in the 21st century
This word has changed
And enters into a new plan.
To be blunt and to the point
To use the word Cunt! Means not a lot
At all.
I...

Feel It
Feel it with all your might
Feel it with all that’s insight
Feel it tonight
Feel it regardless of your fight
Feel the laughter and pain hitting right
Feel it like the wind lashing off the winter night
Feel it again
Feel it over and over again
Feel it like you can’t pretend
Feel life like it’s your friend
Feel it for all that’s lost with no end
Feel it again
Feel it while delivering...

Charles Bukowski (Way He Writes)
Charles Bukowski
Charles Bukowski was quite a character. Bukowski relied on experience, emotion, and imagination in his work, using direct language and violence and sexual imagery. Many people found his writing offensive. He writes with a nothing-to-lose truthfulness which makes him different from most writers. Bukowski was very much into alcohol, sex and even violence. Bukowski went to scho...

Show me the country ...
Show me the country
Where they glorify the torture.
Where people are hungry
And the well- known murderer,
Can walk freely and be free.
Show me the country
Where everyone is deceived
And the people are cleaved,
The backward there means forward,
Where to say the truth is awkward.
Don’t rotate the globe
With a hope to find this country.
You won't find it on the pl...

When the truth hurts
??♀️ WHEN THE TRUTH HURTS ??♀️
My heart hurts and rage runs through my veins and even though I don't know her I can still feel her pain.
This right here hurts and it's not because of her race. It's the fact it's another human being that because of crooked cops they have deformed another face.
Everyone has something say but in reality the real matters of this country they try to ignore.

Rule Britannia?
What with all the omnishambles of Brexit, I got to thinking about what our national identity really is. When you think about it, we have some pretty bizarre national symbols, but ultimately what does it mean to be British / English, etc? See what you think of this...
Rule Britannia?
Our national dish is curry, true,
Our Saint is George who dragons slew,

Cultivating Life
A traffic jam that spans an entire epoch
Is followed by daily punishments of
Dreary Sisyphean meanderings,
Followed by even more traffic
In sweltering heat and sticky humidity.
With all energy drained from
Lungs, limbs, and mind,
He shuffles into his house
Seeking only relief and brief reprieve.
As he unbuttons his soaked shirt,
“Do me,” assaults his ears

Be
Others create self-serving expectations
That they thrust upon you with no hesitation.
Always remember you have two choices,
To heed or ignore the many voices.
Most define themselves by what others say,
Resigned to play the games people play.
Sooner or later they will awaken,
Realizing that they’ve been mistaken.
Then a rebirth for all to see.
Some will rejoice, some will...

Maybe I'm not smart,
And I must take heart.
Maybe I'm, not right.
I am bothered by light.
You may not understand me at all.
I can sound like an autumns fall.
But …I can breathe like grass,
I can live like a lass,
Can be wise, can be nice.
I can read between lines,
And be someone’s divines
Look at me: I'm a flower,
With the sun's energy and power,

Love isn't easy to do
Love can be a nightmare
that follows you
throughout your life
Love can rip your heart
apart if you trust in
someone who says or
claims that they love you
when in fact they don't
or never did
Love is a tangible
unmistakable hurtful
lie of your life
Love can leave one down

My Life
You know, my life,
Let’s just be friends!
We’ve nothing have to share.
You look like me:
My face, my eyes, my ear …
You are my life, my inevitability,
I am your tiny fragile destiny.
Like a wind, you carry me quick,
Or send me quietness and calm.
And I believe you’ll save me,
You’ll never see me like a junk
Or never see me ever drunk.
Life! Be my friend!

Mundane
My insides writhe like pit of snakes
As my mind runs away.
It flees from my mistakes,
Made with good intent,
As fast as my ambition got me there.
Why does my ego tote me around like a child?
Why does it feel like I'm always being punished
By my mundane thoughts?
What am I doing?
Rotting.
I eat the snake.
I abandon my ambition.
I punish myself from now on.

Burning Bridges
Bury the long dead past let bridges burn behind
Bounty what life holds be cherished full in kind
Nothing stays forever in rapid passing of time
There still be choices to relive your lost prime.

It doesn't make sense... I'm not who I used to be... This karma that's destroying my life has been paid over and over and over...why?

The only thing I feel and deal with is pain and repercussions of actions in my past and actions that where never even acted upon... True happiness, financial stability, love... W...

On some night-time road
with only the distant moon
or your dimming torch
meting its weak light out
Do not be afraid of getting lost
some new thing
may come to you there
on the path that you can't see
some great thing may surprise you
On that long journey
towards day's promised ending
without a real map
to study or call upon
Do not be afraid of being wrong

End of a Galaxy
A blink
In the silent depth of night
As the last leaf of the beech tree
As the silent tear of my love

I see her as she sees me
and in that moment
sand, sea, sun, surf

A Train of Thought
My step dad, Robin, passed away a short time ago at the ripe old age of 94. An incredible man, he lived an incredible life, including working at Bletchley Park codebreaking during the war, putting out fires at ST Paul's Cathedral, living in Australia, India, Ireland and Scotland and writing numerous books in his role as a well respected minister and scholar. He met my mum again after 50 years, p...

Thought of a restless mind.
As I grow, I see many places to live by
I see the true nature of life,
On how doll and peaceful it can be.
But what is life without sorrow?
What is life without dreams of the melancholic soul?
Just a thought of a restless mind.

I would not say this heart is hungry
I dare not say this heart is heavy
I only know now, a surer sense of all I want
a clearer description of what will fire
the drive, the rush, the love in me
If we're not going out tonight
then can we just sit and giggle
at each other, at the TV, at the others
can she laugh with me, make fun of me
until we have tears in our eyes, can’t breathe

brightly through

Morning Mellow
With eyes closed
I'm morning mellow
and grateful
Survived another crash
the screech of a derailment
isn't mine this time
but it only gets later
in the day of my life
my luck must be spilling out
soon to all be spilled
Morning mellow, with eyes closed
still invincible
at thirty seven
Beyond the pane
summer wind rips
licks at the glass
makes me feel small
and safe, for now

Give me compass, strength and plan,
To show me how to be a man.

Give me rites for all my wrongs,

And my present won't give me rest

Trying to become the better she
Trying to find the present me

deeply embedded
into my heart so it

Until the day my brown

left my side when an

happened that's when
my heart was ripped
straight out of my chest
leaving a gaping hole
there where his love
once remained at

It will take time to adjust to this new reality
There will be good days and bad days on the way

Tea and biscuits with pals or robbing banks with sawn offs?

How much of you I've seen,
I've seen your 2 or 10 percent,
As you have seen of me.
I wonder if you'll trust me,
With 10 percent more you,
Say 20 percent total,
Ill give the same to you.
I wonder if my percent me
would be safe with you,
No reassurance? Give it back!
Lets keep it back at 2.

Life
I crave the warmth of sun rays
On my pink uncovered skin
I despair over the loss of someone dear
Forever vanished from my sight
I wear the sadness of regret
When reminiscing
I embrace the happiness of love
When it is in full bloom
I reject a longing for things
I do not have
I feel the erotic pain of a lover's bite
During a passion filled moment
I dream of voyage...

Waiting for you, as if it were the end of the world.
I do not mind the wait,
I have the time.
But I have to be honest,
I need you.
I've felt you before,
and that's fine
Someday I'll see you,
and I'll know.
And even if you do not know, it's fine.

Insomniac?
I rely on sleep
It’s the only thing
To keep thoughts at bay
Hours when my mind
Releases its grip
That strangles my sanity
Now, in its own
Sick and twisted way
Keeps sleep at bay
My mind is evolving
Tightening its grip
And slaughtering my sanity

She only hears the rooster's call
In the morning and peeks deeply
At the sun's beams through the window
The way she reads a talking mouth.
She's twenty-two but thinks like twelve
Keeping fairytales in her nook
How a sixth grader reads a book.
Old papers hide in her basket
With her touch becomes piece of art
As she tears and folds the pages
Forming flowers, vases and doves.
She has c...

It’s almost as if you’ve been

The moment
you can take a breath
without feeling yourself

Cement is no longer
running through your veins
slowing every movement,
because now it is only gravel.
Your head is now
not filled with buzzing static,
and instead
the distant sound of
electric storm clouds.
Enraged fire
replaces the
sleeping snow.
You are finally se...

Playing the Game called Life
We live for what we have,
We live with what we’ve got,
We live through all our troubles,
We live no matter what.
Till that day of sorrow,
Till all comes to a pause,
Then all we see is darkness
And wonder what once was.
Then it is too late to care
You’ve died without a clue.
So what you do now that you live,
Well, that is up to you.
