If only our lives were a movie?

If only we got what we wanted

If only we didnt have to think about our 'stances

If only spontaneity was our reality

Then life would be easy

Then again, who says our life is not a movie?

So hard to please, gentle reader,
so unlike me, loose, thoughts astray
Hot, tonight,  as it was for the poet,
Ovid, exiled from Rome to the Black Sea.
So many exiled nights ago,
Go slow, I whisper, go slow.

Forebodings bring unstoppable shakings 
Like i have poisoned blood,
I think I have stolen your heart.

The summer is nearly over 
#staycation will no longer trend
Foreign holidays are risky
until the traffic light rules end

We could travel down to Cornwall 
we could travel up to The Lakes
There’s no need for Covid testing 
whilst enjoying staycation breaks

We can not travel to Turkey 
the country is still listed red
Our flights keep getting cancelled 
so we are stuck at home instead

You're seen beneath broadleaves
as light rain passes over

Disaster upon disaster
safely behind you

When the rainbow shows
you're happy to move on

You're caught listening sometimes
sorrowful sighs on the wind

Driving home today
how many to run out of road?

Your eyes shock those now asleep wide awake
and those all too awake at last shall dream

You speak of a clock

The plain and simple things are those we feel

In our lives on any common day

And keep us all together on the ground

Like sturdy stones resisting over time.

They are the same for poor and rich alike,

A hug, a smile, a warm and sunny day,

Reminding us that we are here and live,

As different as we are, in the same world.

Apart, there are some goals and wishes, t...

A curl of paper

Placed on our scrubbed pine table

A hurriedly assembled

List of necessities

For comfort

And some structure

On days when I am lost

Drifting, unanchored

Thread to sew on a button

Polish, for appearance sake

(Can't show how I'm feeling)

A Sunday lunch

Of chicken, salad

Apple crumble

Trying to hold my life together

Is love to give or love to take

Do I give my love or is it taken,

If it’s taken is it at behest

If given is it by request

Confusion reigns

to give, to take, But given can I take it back 

Further down life’s railroad track 

Or taken is gone for good

Lost forever in the wood 

You take my love and lock it up

And leave me cold and out of luck

In an era when exercise is all the rage -

But having had my share in the past

I seem to have done enough to last;.

Keen to lay the foundation provided

When youth and energy coincided,

Working to keep the body healthy

Without seeing multi-gyms get wealthy.

Now the years have accumulated

All sparkly with stardust

And cheesy-gobbed from moon food

A car was an odd choice of plucking

But, that's what he chose

With all her beautiful smiley curls of gold

In a score-settling mood

With the way things go, 

Though the point might be moot,

If life's sine qua non

Is the precariousness of it all. 

Indeed, yesterday's feast

Could be tomorrow's defeat;

But what of today?

It could be the olive branch

Extended in exchange.

A much needed Dylan Thomas/DIY/Shakespeare fusion poem and celebrating a little mishap which befell me at my daughter's house.

I should go gentle into that stud wall

For fear of piercing cable or a pipe

Else certes much skunk shite may me befall.

A wiser man might prod with a bradawl

At DIY, though, I am dud arsewipe

If only I’d drilled gentle through that wall.

An organised mess,

No train of thought,

Just swirls and swoops, 

Campaign abort 

If ironed and pressed,

A chain no longer, 

Confused and tangled,

But maid of honour

A taste of love,

So now you see,

Instilled in us,

A fantasy

Exchange our hearts, 

Entrusting me,

Through pain feel power,

Uncomfortably.

At grubby winter’s evening time,

They waited in the cold and dark.

He saw her run across the park;

Each changed their taxis in between,

To take no chance of being seen.

He opted for a jazzy blue;

She wrapped herself in guilty green.

Later, beneath a small squashed sky,

They looked back at the empty room,

Scraped featureless by some new broom,

With all scraps...

A speedboat leaves all else in its wake.
A crawling old Tanker, baby steps to take.

Into the world eternal 

Hand in hand

We walk into that land

Love isn't what we say

It's much Deeper than a ray

It makes us feel everything

If there's anything I want to change

It isn't past that I have already lived

It's just my feelings I had for few

I never used to understand
why Jesus wanted to be reborn,
into a world of sinners and saints,
of betrayers and victims
where even the strongest hearts of gold,
would one day taste the cruel pain
of a finite life.

And then one day, I met you,
and my heart that believes no faith,
believed in you,
and I knew,
I’d die a thousand Friday’s
to be reborn to you on Sunday.

But I know something you don't.
The idea of what it means to establish a soul tie with someon...

Dream tends to realize

If it is purposeful,

Flower tends to be pollinated

If it is honey-rich.

Land tends to be fertile

If it is irrigated,

Water tends to mirror

If it is translucent.

Song tends to be soothing

If it is melodious,

Script tends to be compelling

If it is story-lined.

Air tends to be breathable

If it is oxygenated,

The constant dripping of rain on the ground,
creating a mesmerizing but monotone sound.

Every small drop exploding on my skin,
the sky's tears washing off my sin.

Carmine streams floating down my pointing digit,
cleansing my skin from traces so rigid.

My head arching back into my neck with a whimper,
my red dyed lips curling into a smile that's simper.

The nocturnal blade slipping ...

Its ours from within.

Some animals fight to the death while some run away if the other one wins. We on the other hand stand to prove something rather than lose, we choose it is ours from within.

Sit in the dark in silence alone but first you switch off the phone. Breathing in time to a rhythm you find you get your head into the zone. Cut yourself off from the meaningless froth spurting ...

What are all the general public like?
Do they care and are they kind?
Do they think about themselves,
Or have they others on their mind?

Are they going to their work,
Or are they looking round the shops?
Are they travelling by foot or by car,
Or do they get on and off bus stops?

Do they really feel happy?
Or are they secretly afraid?
Do they like being outside,
Or wish at home is wh...

The Q Man

The Q Man was somebody who was different

He travelled the galaxies and universe doing a job

Flying a Type 6 spaceship interstellar style

Normal space travel took forever and a day

But his ship was a souped one off

With engine and fuel enhancements

Zipping from world to world to work

He lands in a remote place and hides

His pointed ship from observers or spies

As dark as the night

This is how their eyes look like.

They told me once

Sad eyes are coal black.

From crime to punishment

They got used to travelling

Hand in hand with the act of crying.

As deep as the sea

This is how they look at the pain.

Just like the drops of the rain

This is how they shed tears

Behind the bars.

No need to use fancy words

To tell the sto...

Barely a arms throw away
from where you walked
the lights holds it own
to the darkness
leading to another world

oiling over the distance
like a door nailed open
at the edge of the forest
blowing a soft tease of a kiss
at the edge of your thoughts

peeling the darkness from behind
in a beauty in near silence
cherry-picking the moment
leading a different way out
to the way you enter...

It's a hard thing when they want to skyline you
The ones you were meant to trust
Told to trust
They burnt you just for the fun of it
Scraped your down to a skin
Some lobotomized form of the former self
All the wealth in the world couldn't change it
Maybe that is the explanation for my derangement
Estrangement from reality, duality of sanity
The man in me says I need to do better
But I to...

The red light

And its stunning sight

Remind me of

Our lips when they fight

The blue blaze

As the siren plays

Reminds me of

Your eyes and their gaze

I didn’t care that I

Was being arrested

I don’t even fear to die

If my love gets contested

Because my love is real

Even if it is a crime

Being guilty isn’t a deal

To love is, this time

In a...

Was it a golden age

of freedom of a certain kind

and were we then the lucky ones

the unchained, in my terms?

The next utopia may be rich and sweet

a virtual paradise perhaps

and honeycombed with images but

from which there is no escape

no vantage point

or cold light of day.

From restless souls are we come

from buccaneers with fast boats

their oak planks...

I remember my Great Grandpa Jackson well,
He was my absolute favorite, tongue would tell,
My Great Grandma called him Ray. 
“Ray Jackson,” she’d say 
and we’d all look his way 
to see what kind of mischief, he’d gotten into today. 
He was the one adult in my early young life,
Who’d talk to us like we were just regular folks.
He’d fought in the Big War, but told silly jokes,
and laughed li...

Another cheery poem

I hear the rain patter on my window pane

As lockdown looms again I feel pain

When will the sun from clouds emerge again?

This world has changed, gone quite insane

Problems of the past seem small and tame

We writhe and shake, against each deadly strain

Stay in, save lives, the never ending refrain.

And as we face another day alone at home

I sit at...

I saw every happiness in your eyes
I wonder what was in your eyes that I blossomed
I was feeling strange
There was a different glow on my face
Thought I'd tell someone
But I don't know what was that feeling
who were you could not forget
Couldn't sleep at night even after trying hard
Surrounded by questions, confusion could not solve the mind
was looking for your eyes
where I saw you befo...

Rapper searching for work on board a cruise ship I sign up to entertainment agents and wait for job opportunities to perform.

Yeah, yeah
Ayo, bros, it's time.
It's time, bros (aight, bros, begin).
Straight out the loud dungeons of rap.

The light drops deep as does my singer.
I never sing, 'cause to sing is the captain of swinger.
Beyond the walls of singers, life is defined.
I think of...

If you’re reading this

I’ve so much more to say

We’ve only gotten started

Along this precious way.

Stumbling at times

Often falling short

Terribly uncertain 

Not knowing what’s in store.

Wishing that your fingers

Would reach out and pull mine in

Wishing that your lips

Would savour my sweet skin. 

Next to you is where

My heart can take a rest

Welcome to the twenty-first century

Let’s make this poem into a good memory

I have plenty of motivation and energy

The narrow thinking needs to alter, come and follow me

Stop with the forced marriages

Sending your daughters in beautiful carriages

Without asking for their consent

Coercing them to smile throughout the event

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Queer

There is no need ...

Teaming of cold angles,

Yellow in its breaming,

Dying early at night.

Guttered rat,

Which teals the ground,

Broken edges at the banquet.

Hollowing the precious thin,

A serpentine tincture of handy men,

Because a stream struck a chord within.

Beneath a creep,

The kingdom come,

Rotting hearts of deathly grace.

It streaks the blue,

A red in l...
