Strange Friends
I was a stranger, you took me in
but I found you were stranger still.
I guess we’re two peas in a pod
cuz neither of us fits the bill
of all the many ways the world expects
two blokes like us to be.
You took me in, now we’ve become...
the strangest friends you’ll ever see.

Anger's Embrace
Anger curls its tendrils around me,
it envelopes me whole,
strokes me tenderly.
It forms an impenetrable wall,
a shield of sorts,
to keeps me safe and sound.
It takes all those blows
and hits for me,
protects me from my foes.
Rage filled screams,
cover the sound of falling tears.
Sadness sits beside me,
gently wipes my sea.
Anger extinguishes my fear,

Your Unknown Friend
There's so much sadness
Stored in your body.
Too much sorrow
For such a little
Body to try
To contain.
It flows out of you.
Out of your nose,
Your eyes
Your throath.
Sadness paints
The canvas of your face.
I am a spectator,
Unable to change.
I watch and feel,
Tender brushstrokes
on my skin.
Mirroring the image
Laid before me.
Am I not you?
Are we not each other?

Angelie 🕊
A new angel joined the ranks in heaven above,
Never imagined attending your funeral and sending you off with doves.
Gone but our memories of you will live on,
Ever present in all our hearts where you belong.
Loved by many and we are all struggling with this loss,
In the next life we shall reunite, when it’s my time to cross.
Everyday we will get to...

The Soul of the Moon
I stole the soul of the moon,
Kept it unclothed to illume
Dark, deserted manor rooms
And fireflies that forever loom
Above fifty forsaken tombs.
I secured a piece for me,
Kept it between creases deep
And verses of revered balladry
Written on the tattered leaves
Of my hands rickety.
But then came a shooting star,
Its hands stocked with bits of its hea...

My Friend Phil
My friend got abducted by aliens, they took her in their ship
The beamed her with a magic torch, it made her kip
She woke up quite Drowsy, No idea what they had done
One said in broken English 'Boy that was fun'
She thinks that they looked in her mind, laughing as they read
The prong marks on her belly itched and where all red
Before she knew it she was home in Ireland in her bed

The Spaceship part 1
High in the clouds we float.. spaceship
Views of the city a head turn away
I see it all from here
I see lights and windmills
I see houses and tall hills
In the distance famous towers
Blessed for this view
I could gaze out for hours
I stay early hours
Love I've never felt more
Oh euphoric twelfth floor
Safe and time stops
Towered over tree tops
Warmth. . I feel your body heat
In sync ...

Friendship
A true friend shall stay with you
Throughout thick and thin,
And shall not come and go
According to whim.
They should be there to listen,
To be generous and kind,
And in a real friend
This is what you should find.
And in face of all problems
True friends should not leave you
And always be close by,
And there to receive you.
So should you find your...

GOD Bless
Surely, I'm not happy
To lose the best friend
It is true, not funny
"GOD" put the final end
Certain hour, of the day
Whatever we are or where
We have to say Goodbye
"GOD" is kind and fair
No one plans to die
No one remains forever
No When , Where or WHY?
Let's pray, no suffer

NO CHANCE
NO MORE CHANCES TO WIN
GAME IS OVER, MY DEAR
THE CHANCE IS ONLY ONE
YOU MISSED IT LAST YEAR
NO MORE TIME TO PLAY
SAME GAME FROM THE BEGINNING
I DON'T WANT TO STAY
TO WATCH YOU, MY DARLING
NO NEED TO WAIT FOR THE END
NO MORE CHANGES TO COME
GOOD BYE.. SEE YOU MY FRIEND
NO DANCE WHERE NO "DRUMS"

ريشه ناقصة في جناح عصفوره
إيه يعنى .. ماهـو ريشها كتيــــر
مش حيبــــــــان أبدا في الصورة
ولا حيــــكـون له كمــــــان تأثير
العصفــورة الشــــاطرة تفكــــــر
ربنا عنـــــــده كنــــــوز الخيـــر
لو تدعــــى ربنــــــــا يرزقـــــها
بدل الريشـــــة .. عشـــر قناطير
لكن العــصفــــورة المســكــيـنــة
وقـفـت تبـكـى بدون تفـكـيــــــــر
حتى اصحابها .. زعلوا عشانــها

Glad to hear your voice
Happy to be with you
Always, you're very nice
Whatever you say or do
Lucky, to be your friend
To share you fact and fun

Sharing act and talks
Hearts believe in Honesty

Not alone
If you should fall down again
And find yourself needing a friend
I will always be here by your side
Please don't shut yourself in and hide
I will hold your hand through the pain
You will beat these demons again
Together we will pull you out
Of the fountains creating doubt
I will stick with you all the while
Hoping to see you yet again smile
You are never on your own
In my arms you have ...

Dawn
These are other people’s stories you lose yourself in to escape, to live another life, to become someone different..Yet you don’t see how beautiful the one you are in is.
Breathing incense and admiring the little pot of sunshine unselfconsiously lost in your head. I see you wrapping Christmas presents and drinking tea, full of laughter and happiness. Don’t forget where you are and where you hav...

FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is my best friend
she gives such relief
---
Finding my best friend
can be such a challange
She often hides in the corners of my mind
plays hide and seek with my heart
---
It's so hard to let go
and let her do her magic
It's easier to sit in the dark closet
holding onto anger
---
Anger is black and painful
it takes from my soul
It lies and ch...

Oh so sorry
Because I totally didn't listen to your problems,
I didn't vow to not tell your best friend something,
I didn't try to help you, I didn't care about you...
Oh wait, I did.
I didn't realize me trying to be your friend meant nothing to you, though.
Lost for you.

A Dream Come True
Feelings that once were hidden
Are now expressed to you.
Days that once were stormy
Are now the brightest blue.
Times that once were lonely
Are now filled with pleasure.
All that once was mine alone
Are now things we both treasure.
Nights that once were cold
Are now comforting and warm.
Fears that once were very real
Are now gone with the storm.
A heart that once was broken
Can ...

Autumn Lady
Autumn Lady
Anna with autumn hair and summer eyes.
Lady from afar here in England.
With such charisma, capturing her image in a blink of your eye.
Imagine that there was only ever one sunrise; that is Anna's beauty.
As memorable as a waterfall, free and never still.
In movement.
Never a prisoner of anyone.
Always laughing and smiling, never sad or in tears.
