Graffiti grannies they are very canny

they never get caught

but their skills are highly sought

they spin a yarn knit and sow

There cover never gets blown

Statues get covered

As do park benches and poles

Even Chinese boulders

Well I suppose we all need something to do when we get older.

Once in land far away
Was a woman 
she knelt to pray
She prayed for a child who could be
The key to a new dawn of ages

The baby was conceived
Naturally of course
By union of bodies 
By lustful souls
The scrolls foretold the child would grow to be
A pawn in the game of prophecy

A peacemaker
A son of the goddess 
Most high
Her diamond ,glowing  bright in the sky
But there would be...

Born of a ducks egg
Hatched by a toad
The dread cockatrice uses wherwell priory as its abode
Don't be caught by its steely glare
Or be made into stone statue
If it catches you with it's eyes
So don't look run 
Or be overcome
It eats and causes destruction wherever it flies
So watch the skies with fearful eyes
But wait a man called green 
Seeks the four acre reward 
He polishes a piece ...

You could be a Russian ballerina with high heels

With high kicks of steel

 

A sumo wrestler with flabby muscles

Who slaps and wrestles you until you cant resist

Or a bitchy pretty young blond who seals your knockout with a kiss

Or even a karate guy with a Mohawk or a quif

Who smokes a spliff as he stands over your broken body

 

Oddly enough you can be a...

or in their own homes

What the world says

 

Freedom is but a lie
Every critic a spy
Love is in the eye of the beholder
Watch it fly away when we get older

Money is the key to locked doors
With open jaws we let it be the law

Knowledge is power If you have the right type
Don't let it grow sour let it be your light

Life is the best teacher
But the harshest one
Faith is a shot ringin...

These pieces of me can't interact,

they are cracked

into shards

splitting like glass.

My mind is breaking up into pieces,I am literally cracking up

while the stress is mounting

my heart is exploding like a fountain.

I am deluded my mind can't cope with explanations

haystacks without needles.

What am I but despair incarnate?

Do you pose in pictures on your own?

Think you have pouting sensous lips and eyes of marble stone/

Do you take ass and make it into class?
Do you look in the mirror and can't tear your eyes away?

and  you can't find a partner worthy enough of you

Have you got a blue steel look or Marilyn Monroe pose?

Do you have to many clothes?

Do your friends all think your great?

You make stories your clever

you bind the lines together

stories written last forever

we are making stories its fun

stories that make us whole

stories that make us one

we make stories from day one

everybody has a story to tell

from the birth of the earth

to the gates of heaven

to the depths of hell

everyone has a story to tell!

Make believe
It is better to make believe a thousand lives
Than to live one life without love
You might feel trapped
Attached at the hip
But it is better to be attached
than to be cut loose and dispatched into a world where love avoids your grasp

Screaming at the night sky
Waiting to die In the dark alone,
Love more importantly ,a heart needs a home

If it cannot find a h...

eyes are following me everywhere i tread

eyes,eyes,eyes filling me with dread

they are chasing me to everywhere i go

following to places only i know

green mean eyes blue prying eyes

brown eyes of the darkest hue

they are hiding in the shaddows giving me no clue when they might appear

eyes,eyes,eyes how they sear into my soul

eyes behind cameras and cctv controls

The quiet room becomes loneliness

Walls, distance between me and you

But the real distance between us is in our hearts and minds

Lines drawn, boundaries made

You say numbness is your friend and you can’t trust.

Trust in our friendship or all is dust

Rusting tears and drawn out fears

I have to come to about your well being

But your only seeing lies right now

The mad man laughs out loud

he has no pride left

the silience between him and her will never break

it collides with everything he stands for.

Life is door shut

walls closing in

we have no time for losers when we are winning

no time for the broken, when we build our houses tall

and our garden walls taller still

I deserve.

Words fail me
Sentences derail me
Thoughts ought to set me free
But they drag me down with new responsibilities
Catch 22s have got me in a fix
Why do people have to be such dicks

Just children in suits and ties
Surrounding themselves with lies
And they like to blame each other

A  Black cat is just deciding whether to cross my path

A fairy just sprayed me with fairy dust just for a laugh

Stupid cupid just shot me in the bum and I have fallen in love with a tree!

And a dog just peed on me and the tree as well.

 

I went to my friend’s house and their kids put my new shoes on the table

I touched wood to break the curse but I wasn’t able

Some men are like animals

When it comes to love.

Depraved they crave women

Eating them up like cannibals.

Some men are hopeless romantics

they see love as an escape from monotony

They want a family and wait for the right woman to arrive.

Some men are cowards they hide from love

Because they can’t stand rejection.

They have no strategy

The watcher

He watches all the comings and goings in the park

Always standing always leering

No one ever speaks to him

He is silient as stone

He watches for weeks and years

A marble heart and a marble soul

No tears form on his cheeks he captures only one expression

He watches with eyes that never move or close

Birds are his friends they perch on his shoulders

Romantic distance

I rip out my heart for you to have and to hold

Does it feel cold?

This pound of flesh it’s all I have.

Which hangs in the corner of your bedroom

This gloom won’t shift, this love would have been a gift

But for the romantic distance between us

We may talk dirty in our minds

But the shutters the blinds are dow...

Their lips drip with salvia
The hounds of love are out to get me
But I am a survivor
But how can I survive
When I know I am going to get caught by the bees of love
with your honey on my lips
but I just can’t let your honey go to waste
it drives me wild just for a taste
I am like ravenous beast
And on you I would feast
For hours and hours I would rise and expand on you like yeast

Tragedy

Tragedy me,

Oh alas

You can see it in my face

I made the wrong choices listening to all those negative voices

That I followed and swallowed like a chocolate cup cake whole

Instead of letting it pass my lips

Or spitting it out

I doubt I will ever be able to sort it out

I traded love for alienation

Work for boredom

Depression saturates me like vinega...

There was no warning

It is like you broke down my door

Stole away my heart and left me on the floor

You stormed into my life

Now all I can think of is you

You have taken my heart

its like rendition

and I know I have not got permission

to take it back

I used to be a love terrorist plotting all types of mischief

silence like violence caters for many

a poet with few  verbs

and one or two  nouns

with my sadness bottled I drink from its flask

endless answer searching

perching  like a sparrow on a branch

waiting for fate to crush me like an avalanche

I can never fly high enough

and fly off into eternity

Every cloud will have a silver lining for you

Every deed you do will have a lucky clover

Attack of the heart

Some people think its fine

That makes me do what is right

to buy ethical brands

You were a young pretender

The joke that wears thin

The poet in question was always writing words

they were always written down as fast as lightening.

His poems grew larger than life

His muse became his wife

but if he couldn’t write he felt too much strife

his words, his verses, his stanzas began to swallow him whole

writing came out of ears and out of his soul.

They started to tattoo him in unfortunate places

She casts a shadow longer than the night

Fear has nested down and it won’t take flight

She wishes every day to be dead

Once she was God’s favourite they walked hand in hand

Now they are barely on speaking terms

She yearns to be free

Will the curse be lifted?

They called her a snake in the grass

Tie her to the mast!

Burn her at the stake!

All she wanted was to be ...

Here I am with all my poems unpublished.

A two bit poet with nothing but youth and a strong heart to go for it.

People won’t take me seriously without being published by a big poetry press

but to do that I have to be published by non existent poetry magazines

Nevertheless I send my poems away

Pieces of heroism hide within this heart

only small but sometimes they come to the surface

Doorways that never shut into places we have never seen

Look into my eyes

A portal of lies

Dare you walk through?

Innocence is bliss

Ignorance’s kiss is what we need without it!

I have seen eternity

Balls of fire burning bright

In the sky of never ending darkness and chaos

You say God created this

Object of my desire do you know about the lust I keep in the cage of my heart?

Which like a rabid dog threatens to rip me apart

His eyes were wild

but in him was found the heart of a child.

The souls around him stood amazed

But he was unfazed

Their praise was lost on him.

But the sterilised hearts of his enemies used to cause him grief

they lacked heart they lacked belief

it became evident that as human beings

we need a bit of dirt and not always perfection.

Imperfections made him ...

We work, we sweat blood

We exchange childhood tears for fears.

We exchange lies for excuses

telling ourselves we are useless.

In amongst the clammer, the dust, and the heat

we repeat the same mistakes that we keep-

in the desert place of our soul.

We feel we have no control

angst becomes ingrained in hearts

Will we repeat the same mistakes or determine our own fate?
